How many listeners of this show make over $400k a year? Very fucking few I bet. The Libertarian bullshit is on overload in this episode.

You guys are the lamest most gimpy blue pilled libertarians ever. If anyone is still listening to these clowns on a regular basis I recommend switching to the Tom Woods show ( an actual Libertarian)

The same president who use to prank call Howard Stern is threatening to not hand over the office if he loses. Yeah, so glad the podcast became the Reasonable Alarmist Roundtable this week

why do I always get the sense that nick is being censored? The rest of you are tired hacks at this point. Talking about what masks you wear and glossing over the uglier side of BLM. I'm finally done with Reason mag. Mises is the only place with Libertarian values now
