Bonus content: The Real And Proper Mummy

July 8, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:03:17

A short bonus episode that we hope you’ll enjoy where Nic, initially not realising Andrew had started recording, describes the joy he experienced gaslighting his young children. Did they really think he was their mother?

The What’s Worse Game

July 2, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:45:08

After a brief hiatus while Nic recovered from surgery, we’re back with a new game of Andrew’s devising.

The What’s Worse Game.

In this new game, Andrew gives Nic two deliberately awful options and asks him to say which one is worse.

Sometimes personal, often extreme, Nic reacts to each and tries to justify why he’s right.

But does it reveal an aspect where libertarians and voluntaryists find they end up defending a least worst position without always advocating for the end of the state?

The Science

June 6, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:58:15

When people say they are following The Science(tm) do they really mean they are following orders?

How do you row back from additional interventions when they aren’t based on anything at all, let alone The Science(tm) or The Orders?

We discuss stupid examples of interventions, whether its schools or supermarkets, and how if the scaremongering was right, that they would actually make things worse with their actions, not better.

The CDC moves the goalposts on testing the vaccinated for Covid, which leads us to discuss whether any government statistic is worth believing at all. For example, have there really been that many vaccinations in the UK, or is that more government propaganda?

Nic comments on how people’s approach to the experimental gene therapies appears to have parity with their approach to masking, even though one is removable, and the other is not.

And Andrew asks if masks work, why do you need the vaccine, and if the vaccine works, why are you still wearing a mask?

Is it all just about virtue signalling and high status opinions?

All this and more in this week’s edition.

How To Stop Wearing A Mask

May 29, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:33:14

This week begins with Andrew offering some advice on the easiest places to forgo masks.

We then talk about PCR tests as Nic has just had to have one in order to have a minor medical procedure. Are these tests as accurate as the government is stating? And why don’t they quarantine testers as soon as they test someone positive?

After that, Nic gives us some insight into his recent private hospital experience. How much better is it than the NHS?

Finally, a couple of months ago, Andrew posited that it could be Gamers that will save us. This week, Nic suggests it might be Lawyers…

Testosterone Passports and Eating Meat

May 18, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:36:08

This week, Andrew did a rare thing. He wrote a blog post.

Inspired by the recent talk of Covid Passports, he wondered if this new technology could be used for something else. Something good. The final idea? Testosterone Passports! Nic and Andrew discuss this completely serious and not at all funny idea in full.

They then move on to another health related topic: dieting. Nic has been trying out a new diet for the past few months. He explains how he’s taken the 5% meat plan that limp wristed leftists advocate and turned it on its head. He explains how.

Will you tolerate totalitarianism next time?

May 11, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:36:29

You might agree with all the steps the government has taken in the last year. But what will you do the next time they give themselves this power over your life?

Pandora’s box has been opened. They will use these powers again against us. So how you will judge the next time? What will your criteria be?

What are the conditions that must arise for you to believe totalitarianism is OK?

We discuss whether seemingly rational people have really thought through the consequences of their blind subservience in the last year and what might be done to break the cycle of authoritarianism that is bound to follow.

And have you heard of a larger than life, 18th century merchant by the name of Timothy Dexter? We’re sure you’ll find the story of this buccaneering trader both amusing and fascinating.

Laughing At Politicians – The Best Political Humour

May 4, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:30:35

This week, Andrew starts with an analogy. Anti-fascists maintain that if you’re not a communist, you’re on a slippery slope to fascism. He asks whether this means that if you’re not obese, you’re on a slippery slope to anorexia. Is that analogy any more ridiculous? And does is stand up to Elliott’s Law?

Andrew and Nic move on to laughing at various politicians and ask whether they are all ‘fair game’. They then discuss our favourite humourous political photos. And just how many pictures of Jeremy Corbyn does Andrew have on his phone?

Do libertarians need encouragement?

April 28, 2021 Nic Elliott 00:43:10

On this, our 100th podcast, we talk about whether its a trait of those who love freedom to have the confidence to be a self starter, and just get on with things.

Do you need encouragement or praise, or do you employ critical thinking and rational self-interest in order to know you’re doing the right thing?

Maybe those on the side of no coercion and voluntaryism are used to hiding their views, even though they think as we do. Does practicing critical thinking lead to an increase in confidence?

The Fall Of Nicolae Ceausescu

April 19, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:36:13

In this episode, Andrew tells the story of Nicolae Ceausescu. Something he’s wanted to do since Christmas 2019, the thirty year anniversary of his execution.

From a troubled upbringing including multiple teenage arrests to his blackly comic last stand in Bucharest, Andrew tries to illustrate just how evil, and insane, he really was.

This podcast contains some of the funniest and some of the most tragic stories of the man himself and his diabolical rule over Romania.

What Colour Pill Have You Taken?

April 13, 2021 Andrew Elliott 00:47:51

Can naming your children really make a difference? Nic certainly seems to think so as he explains to Andrew why he thinks his immediate family must undoubtedly be the solution to the world’s problems and why he’s now a little more white pilled.

We then discuss what it means to be red, blue, white or black pilled before asking whether blue pilled libertarians are some of the biggest obstacles to freedom.
