Here's another story of redemption from one of the most charismatic guests I've had on the show yet. Jake and I stumbled across each others paths thanks to liberty Twitter and I quickly learned that he was also doing this sobriety thing. I asked him to come on and share both his story into recovery and into liberty. You will definitely enjoy this one! Give Jake a follow on Twitter both @HakeJoward & @soberswolepod
An important aspect of living a full life is practicing self care. I wanted to lay some information that I have gathered out there for y'all. It's vital especially within volatile times that we remember to take care of the most important person in our lives: ourselves. This is definitely one of my shorter episodes but it relays adequate information all the same. Thanks for tuning in!
Guys this is the end all be all of discourse surrounding eliminating the horrendously failed War on Drugs. I brought 3 friends on to help me this: Kevin Hobbie, Rex Lawhorn, and Jose Galison. In this episode we tackle the 5 most commonly used arguments against decriminlization/legalization efforts. With this episode we prove that drug policy exacerbates the issue of drug addiction. Share this one around everywhere you get the chance! Rex Lawhorn: Twitter is @GovRexLawhorn, on Facebook be sure an...
Vountaryism In Action is an organization I have been following for the last few years and they have done some TREMENDOUS things in the way of organizing financial charity for those who need it the most. Not only are these folks working tirelessly to help others but they are also shattering the narrative that people who are against government assistance are somehow against helping those in our communities across the globe who need it the most. Absolutely check this episode out and be sure to foll...
One of the best weapons we've seen states utilize in combating the war on drugs has been nullification of federal laws surround controlled substances. Patrick (of the Liberty Weekly Podcast) joins me to spread some knowledge on the topic, telling us in the process how this vital instrument came into existence and how it can be utilized today. Patrick is one of the most sane, intelligent, and coherent voices out there when it comes to learning about libertarian philosophy. Trust me, you NEED to f...
Here's an episode I have been wanting to do for a little while but never got around to it until approached by Jose. This is a itemized realistic catalog of the various narcotics on the market and what they do. We also discuss how to do them safely, if someone were to make the decision to use. In no way is this an endorsement of using ANY illicit substances, this is for educational purposes only. Jose is an awesome dude and can be found on: Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzyrpy3eo37ei...
If you're like me, you have likely wondered what this whole crypto currency thing is all about and how to get started in learning. For this very purpose I had my buddy Stephen show up to lay down some knowledge on us. Where does it come from? How is it made? How do you buy it? All these questions and more are answered so if you've been wondering, here's some information for you! Stephen can be found on Facebook at: facebook.com/doctrdoctr Or on Twitter: @LibertyBTC
Gardening season is quickly approaching and if you're anything like me, you have an intense desire to give a backyard garden a shot but don't know where to even begin.

Joshua Smith is an At Large officer for the LNC and is running for LP National Chair in 22. He was cool enough to come on and discuss both his campaign and vision for the party as well as his personal story with us. Josh is someone I admire and respect for the way that he has handled some extremely unfair and harsh criticisms regarding his past, and I would like to formally endorse Joshua Smith for LP Chair!

Y'all are in for a treat with this one! I had fellow libertarian and brother in recovery, Evan, on to discuss preparing for potentially dark days ahead and also his story of recovery. I learned some great information on this one and I have no doubt that you will have the same experience! Evan can be found on Twitter @efreshwater5 Also mentioned was the Straightedge Caucus which is @LPStraightedge
Guys, y'all are in for a treat with this one! I had the always wonderful Kim Ruff on the show to discuss her battle with alcoholism and what steps she's taken to find some freedom from that. We had an in depth conversation on the nature of addiction as well as announcing the begging stages of formulating a Straightedge Caucus within the LP! Kim is also currently running for Arizona Mine Inspector, you can find out more info on her Facebook page or her twitter @kimruff8
Had the pleasure of kicking off 2021 with hearing about how Benevolus found freedom from a lifestyle of addiction and a new way to live. Be sure and check this one out! 2021 is YOUR year! Check him out on Twitter @RealBenevolus
Today's episode was a pleasure, Jonathon is one of those people who just has a really great spirit and he has a way of describing his journey into recovery that makes sense. We cover recovery, politics, conspiracies and a few other topics that I know yall will get a kick out of. Be sure and give him a follow on Twitter: @the_jon_a_thon
On today's episode I had the pleasure of sitting down with someone who is doing all the good for the liberty movement with her particular skill set. Jessi has some awesome viewpoints and provides hope that the up and coming generation of libertarians are passionate about spreading the message in an efficient manner. This was a fun interview! Follow Jessi on Twitter: @jessinicoleb
Here's another story of recovery from a fellow libertarian who is involved within the 12 step recovery community. There's some solid wisdom to be found in here and certainly a little something for everyone. Greg has been through some tough times but managed to come out on the other side stronger. This is one of my favorite episodes so far. DISCLAIMER: As I type this, I'm super worn out from having stayed up all night attempting to smoke some bbq (ended up being a bust), so forgive me if th...
Really solid interview today regarding the future of the LP and the potential direction the party should take. In seeking to end the war on drugs, political means need to be entertained and what better way to do that than by good old political blackmail. This is still a new concept and I'm sure as time goes along it will become much more nuanced, but for the time being this interview does a great job laying the groundwork for what should be a really compelling discussion in the libertarian commu...
Matt is the director of media relations for the Drug Policy Alliance, serving as the primary liaison between the organization and members of the media. I asked him to come on to describe the awesome work that he and others are doing within the organization and to also explain some of the recent victories seen in this election cycle along with future goals. This was a really informative interview and I hope it pushes you to check out Drug Policy Alliance and to chip in whatever you can to help! w...
Hayden and I go way back and have maintained a friendship throughout the slew of ups and downs that life brings. He's one of those people that when I met him it became clear that we understood each other on a real level. We talk about some of that journey and also some of the more humorous points of recovery. This is an excellent episode if you're interested in figuring out some of the finer points regarding recovery and understanding addiction.
Today we get to hear from my lovely wife, Mrs Clean Libertarian herself (Hilary) on what it was like to watch a loved one relapse, and what it means to be in a relationship with someone actively pursuing recovery. This is a great episode for anyone who has a loved one battling addiction or who has found recovery and maybe doesn't know where to find support.
Really great episode today where I invited on Ashley who is a lawyer and far more in the know on the legal aspect of drug policy than I am to come and talk about where we've seen drug policy go the right way and where we haven't. She is joined by long time friend of the CLP, Kevin Hobbie who expands on some of the finer points and between the two of them some killer nuance is presented. This is the conversation that swayed me into dropping my endorsement of legalization over decriminalization.&n...
In todays episode I was able to bring on Trent to discuss his journey of finding freedom from alcoholism through cannabis. We also discussed kratom, Moderation Management, and what the legal cannabis marketplace looks like. Lots of good information in this one for those who might be looking for an alternative recovery route that isn't 12 step oriented. Kratom suppliers: https://www.happyhippoherbals.com/ &n...
Got the gang back together to discuss what we hoped would be an election NIGHT episode...in typical 2020 fashion, our plans were ruined se we had to break it up into two separate recordings (and its still loosely up in the air). I always have a great time talking with the boys and I hope yall can find a little humor out of this breakdown from your favorite resident invalids.
Haven’t been able to record any new content due to damage from a recent ice storm. I’m still here and there’s some awesome guests lined up to come on the show once internet service is restored in my area.
I had the pleasure of sitting down to talk with one of the most wholesome candidates I've ever met. Greg Sadler hails from Newalla, Oklahoma and is putting in the footwork to win the District 17 Senate seat. Greg is an easy going guy who doesn't shy away from the hard hitting topics he's been confronted with in this election cycle. Website: www.sadlerforoksenate.com
This was a really fun episode! I love when people who have been through hell and back share their story of hope with others and this episode is no exception to that! Wilder tells us about where she came from, what happened, and what it's like for her now. I hope yall enjoy this awesome story of compassion, self examination, and determination.
I really enjoyed this episode. Jay is one of those sage individuals who really knows how to convey his principled stances and it was great hearing from him regarding the concept of bottom unity and what (if any) relation there is to libertarianism and the growing LibSoc movement. We also delve into Hoppeans and the utterly brainless "movement" the is the "Libertarians for Joe" group that is attempting to gain traction.
the 2018 OKLP gubernatorial candidate and current Bethany City Councilman Chris Powell came on the show to discuss the benefits to the Libertarian Party and why running liberty candidates in the old parties are not good enough. Chris brings his expertise and flair for analysis into the conversation and adds experienced perspective to the subject at hand. Chris' website: www.chris4council.com Twitter: @okcspowell
Today I had the pleasure of talking to Joe Hartman regarding his run for congress in Michigan's 8th district as well as his position on ending the Drug War, he then went on to discuss something I haven't really thought about: ending Daylight Savings Time. All in all this was a really fun conversation and a closer look at where the government gets it wrong, both in regards to addiction and our most precious commodity...our time.

I had my buddy Justin back on so we could discuss our time in MBK, a faith based rehabilitation center that uses questionable methods and has even more questionable outcomes. What happens when a drug dealer goes from selling heroin to selling Jesus? Tune in to find out.
