Recorded using new software over a bad connection. Sorry. Listen to this while you wait in line to vote, or while not voting, or while actively engaging in vote suppression and/or fraud. Thanks, see you again in 4 years!
The audio quality is impeccable but the content and direction is lacking. A lot of audio talk in this one in fact. This right here is a potpourri episode with the fellas just catching up. The kind of conent you are sorely missing out on if you never come to Chillderburg. Come to Chillderburg this year and YOU can help US improve our conversations. At one point both hosts are just factchecking subjects of completely different stories. Just slinging lots of hot takes about marsupials, airlines, recent news, not so recent news, and way too many asian naughty words. Enjoy or don't.
We are busting up this union talk with some middling brews and crackpot theories. RFK is just following orders and you should too. Let the those of us without zen, cast the first molotov cocktail... Go Argos!
Some random thoughts... In this one we negiligently discharge some half-baked opinions and theories. If you don't join the Canadian Football Fantasy league you're a fed. Sorry, Zencaster, I do not even remember why we were so mad with you. You will need both a D&D Character chart and a dry bible to get through this one. Really should have probably edited this one down further due to content as well as time but alas its in the can and marked episode 93? I guess. Seems close enough. RIP Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals.
Found this one gathering some cobwebs and dusted it off and gave it a spit shine and wow was it a lot of fun. There are some awful foreshadowings regarding CFL, unfulfilled promises of a follow up, flat out factual inaccuracies, and redacted confessions to felonies. Fun times for the whole family.
This is the episode that doesn't seem to want to get published so we'll try this yet again. A lot of beer and tv talk on this one even though it is not a Drinking The Dark.
We got a full house together to talk about the new Amazon prime show, Outer Range. Talked some brews, talked some Chillderburg, and take you through the first four episodes of the series.
There was a detailed description that got lost and I am not redoing that shit. Listen or forever be haunted that you missed a hidden gem of an episode. Some day I might release the 10 minutes that got cut for being uncomfortably too real and distasteful.
There are some unfixable (to me) audio issues that buzz for the first couple minutes but if you can get past that you will attain enlightenment. And also find out what retread shows are coming back on the air! Start watching Outer Range on Amazon Prime to prep for the next mini-series!
We have most of the gang here with @QJbrushthreep, @DoofusAnarchsist, @Rothbirdian, @YouNeverSawMe8 talking a hodge podge mix of what we are drinkin and watchin and this one is chock full of recommendations.
This episode is not brought to you by liberty mugs. It is brought to you by mugs full of beer. Just kidding, we drinkin' straight from the cans all classy like. Nobody reads this.
No description necessary. We talk about some angles to the Rogan saga in a way that hopefully hasn't been beaten to death already. A chunk of this episode was deleted for reasons... to maybe get discussed on a future episode.
We try to find our center, our inner zen garden while we keep our jobs for now while in secret covid defiance. Where does the line get drawn and what's the best path to navigate office bs? Is this hypocritical? What other hypocrisies and cognitive dissonances are we easily spotting in others but not acknowledging in our own lives? Also, we get to the bottom of Omnicron and find bigger conspiracies starting back at us. Personal growth and beer drinking go hand in hand so grab a brew and listen in.
This one is all over the place but it was recorded the night before one of our favorite holidays. There is some pandemic denying in this episode and some general bitching and moaning. Consider this a bonus episode and trust us there will be some guests and actually prepared episodes coming down the pipe soon. Go check out Chris Webby and download and buy his stuff http://chriswebby.com
It actually happened. An episode was recorded with @qjbrushthreep, @kajaccord, @rothbirdian, R.I.P @crowdfundedgov A lighthearted discussion of supposed allies who are too busy pearl clutching and trying to act woke instead of doing anything helpful.
The Dark gang is back but drinking and talking Dark mixed with what we consider to be real life. From boomers to zoomers can generations learn from history or are we doomed to repeat it? @DenverDoggery @Doofusarchist @Rothbirdian @QJBrushthreep
Back again and with more guests. We welcome @DenverDoggery, @YouNeverSawMe8, @Rothbirdian, and Mason from @TastingAnarchy to talk more about the German Netflix series DARK. I promise the next one after this we'll try and talk some Peaceful Treason stuff too. Let me know, Will, @QJbrushthreep know what you think about these lazy-ass editing skills I'm honing. Are they getting better or am I getting lazier? Listen and find out!
Nobody asked for it and several specifically requested we not do another but the Drinking the Dark Mini-series continues in this one. The studio at Chez @KajAccord is awaiting an upgrade and actual Peaceful Treason episodes will return. In the mean time, listen if you watched the show but skip out if not maybe because SPOILERS abound. @denverdoggery, @doofusarchist, Scotty banned from twitter, and @guybrushthreep
This is not a Peaceful Treason episode. It is 1/2 of PT (Will) talking about his favorite television show of all-time, Dark. Joining him is friend of the pod, @DenverDoggery (Nick) and Chillderburg homie @Doofusarchist (Doofus). There is real PT on the way but this is the sort of fun off-topic conversations that we like to indulge in when the booze is flowing and the state be harshing our buzz, dude. So sit back and crack open a cervesa, or biere in this case and oh by the way if you have any intention of watching this 3 season series on Netflix, do it now beforehand. Spoilers will be aplenty.
DESCRIPTION In this episode, we deep dive into the freaky nature of the human mind. We discuss the latest research about "The Dress" phenomenon that took the world by storm in 2015. Have scientists unraveled a mysterious, existential truth about human consciousness? What does this new research tell us about the nature of our reality? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we invest the majority of our time speculating about one of the most perplexing and remarkable stories Wall Street has ever heard; this time, told by Main Street.

DESCRIPTION On this episode, we take things a little yeezy. We discuss mental health, and the things we've been dealing with in our personal lives.

DESCRIPTION On this episode, we hit several interesting topics: We discuss the Black Lives Matter movement following the George Floyd murder, sex with fruit (otherwise known as "organic masturbation"), Chillderburg Town, and a murder most foul.

DESCRIPTION On this episode, I start the podcast buzzed, and become even more intoxicated. In the process, I accidentally come out as an anti-vaxer, but I also convincingly debunk the ridiculous, paranoid conspiracy theories orbiting the controversial 5G networks being deployed globally. Are the 5G conspiracy theorists on to something? Or are they lacking some critical information that cuts the legs out from under it? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we talk about the only thing there is to talk about: the coronavirus pandemic. We try to make sense of swelling state powers in the form of increasingly strict stay-at-home orders, economic restrictions, and poor healthcare procedures. What is the truth about the real threat of the virus? What about this pandemic will ultimately have the most destructive impact? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we investigate the polarizing story of killer and Navy Seal, #EddieGallagher. Eddie--who has been described by his fellow Seals as "toxic" and "freaking evil"--is celebrated by neocons as a war hero, despite stabbing a defenseless teen prisoner to death in Iraq. What does Eddie's savage act of violence and the subsequent whitewashing of his crime mean for the future of war and #peace? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we get into the weeds on cheating in sports. Doping, sign stealing, spying, and equipment tampering. These have all occurred in the last few years in American professional sports--and these are only the examples of the one who were caught. What does the prominence of cheating in sports say about humans? What does it say, if anything, about society? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we are joined by friends and family around the campfire at the 2019 Peaceful Treason fall camping trip. By the time the audio recorder was rolling we, we were already inebriated. We drunkenly document the beautiful setting, our adventures, and we get into everything from hollow moon theory to marijuana to Kanye West. We also sample several amazing beers.

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we use football small talk to kickoff a discussion about pacifism and immigration. We argue that American football should adopt relegation with the worst NFL teams being demoted to the CFL. We take it a step further, making the argument for an open-border model with Canada and Mexico--similar to the European Union. When will the walls crumble? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we have a little Halloween fun, discussing what the holiday means to us and our favorite spooky pastimes. We also spend some time talking about the gay agenda. We ponder gender identity, and Will comes out of the closet and identifies himself on the sexual identity spectrum. Where does the gay agenda come from? Is there even such a thing? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we make a defense of the non-aggression principle by taking apart an article published at Libertarianism.org entitled 'Six Reasons Libertarians Should Reject the Non-Aggression Principle'. Is the NAP an infallible ideology? Are there fatal flaws in its core? Or are the critiques merely pedantic complaints? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we slog our way into the dark and mysterious landscape of the Jeffery Epstein saga. We muse about the the spy state and the tentacles that reach into the case and the journalism that is distracting from the truth of the story. We also talk a little Bitcoin and have some fun with a new segment: 'Troll or Troglodyte'. Just how bad was Jeffery? Let's take a look!

DISCUSSION In this episode, Jacob and Mason of the Tasting Anarchy podcast join us for a lengthy discussion on a variety of ideas. We discuss government distortion of markets, wine-inspired beers, and ways we can improve the palatability of anarchist and libertarian ideas. How can anarchists improve how we express ideas that most people see as radical? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we wince our way through the stinging stench of the Democratic presidential debates. We make an analogy about state of American politics and the layers of an onion. We also get a little esoteric or existential talking about helicopter seeds. How close do American politicians get to the truth of State affairs? Even if good ideas worm their way into the pubic discourse, does it even matter? Or are we already living in a post-freedom world? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we talk about posers and fraudsters. We explore the Non-Aggression Principle, otherwise known as the NAP. We look at a few of the definitional problems with the NAP and offer some insight as to what non-aggression really is. For example, is transgender catfishing a capital crime? Are you a "little nap" anarchist, or are you a "big NAP" anarchist? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we invite to the podcast, our first in-studio guest; our close friend and philosopher, Johnny Mac. We discuss the things we appreciate about the Christian faith, and the things that we believe ought to be scrutinized. We also discuss a new wave of Christianity that many hardliners consider heresy. Can the Bible be interpreted differently and still have relevant meaning in the twenty-first century? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we invite two brilliant minds of the crypto-anarchist universe to the podcast to debate one of the most polarizing topics in the space: Bitcoin Maximalism.

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we arrive at a fork in the road, and we choose neither path. Instead, we take the path less traveled: the middle path. When it comes to the most polarizing and controversial cultural subjects, we often forget that there are other opinions besides the left and the right. Are there really only two options on the topics of abortion, vaccination, climate change and money? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we scrutinize the many failures of the American State relating to puppycide, the Postal Service, and the creation and protection of "sovereign" currency. Why has the United States Postal Service survived for nearly a decade of multi-billion-dollar annual losses? And why is a State Representative proposing the absolute ban of cryptocurrencies in America? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we humbly admit our shortcomings as non-experts on the many topics we cover, while simultaneously announcing an new upcoming project, in which we'll do an amateur academic study. We also explore the ostracization of those who fail to be a good Samaritan. Is it morally wrong--or even criminal--to stand idly by while witnessing wrongdoing? Let's take a look!

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we sanitize and refine our arguments for the utopian ideas of market anarchy by reviewing a flight of beers that claim compliance with the world's oldest consumer protection law: The Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516.

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we invite to the show, Theodore from the Crowdfunded Government project. We discuss and debate how a concept like crowdfunding could be used to finance government agencies and programs. Can the coercive nature of taxation be replaced with a voluntary model?

DESCRIPTION In this episode, one of us goes dark, abstaining from technology, in search for enlightenment, while the other worships at the alter of the almighty mattress. We also crack the mystery of the Road Toad during Cerveza of the Week. And finally, we discuss a possible scam of epic proportions in the blockchain community that opens up Pandora's box on the topic of fraud and anarchy. What have I missed on Twitter?

DESCRIPTION In this episode, we stomp-walk across the eggshells of the easily offended. We start by owning up to some previous incorrect predictions; promptly following it up with more predictions that are sure to be wrong. We finish strong with another iteration of Top Five Things I Don't GAF About. From the gender bias of bullying to the cognitive dissonance of sex-spectrum shaming, we expose the ethical void that is modern moral outrage. What's wrong with America? Let's take a look!
