Nicole joins me today for a discussion on what we have both learned during the 2020 pandemic and the colossal over reaction by government to it. We beat up on the scientific community, politicians, The Karens and more today. We talk about the shortages that happened, the ones that made sense and the ones that really didn’t. We talk about how a lot of the “inside information” both of us got was helpful but most of it really wasn’t. We talk about income stability during times like this, growing your own food, the power of community and more. We also … Continue reading →

I wanted a proactive and fun show today and shows about useful plants are always subscriber favorites. Last night on Episode 5 of Unloose the Goose we discussed the food system and it has a lot of this churning in my brain. When I was a kid my Grandfather taught me to tend our garden. In many ways is was a lot like a small row farm. Strait rows and a row for each thing. A row of broccoli, a row of beans, a row of cucumbers, 8 rows of corn, etc. When I moved to Texas I started out … Continue reading →

Yesterday I had to be in my car for a bit and so I listened to part of one of Nicole Sauce’s recent podcasts on meat chicken raising. She covered it all from getting new chicks to butchering them. It made me realize I have not talked about poultry recently and that hey I wanted to. Not wanting to redo the great work Nicole just did I thought, well lets talk about the other side of bird keeping, eggs. I grew up at what I kind of like to think of as the end of the great era of back … Continue reading →

Just a ton of stuff I want to discuss today. It won’t have as many topics as Tuesday’s show so we will go a bit deeper into each one. Some of this is a result of thoughts brought to me by last night’s episode of Unloose the Goose which as titled Episode-4 Cryto Agorism vs. the Machine so we will talk a bit about Crypto and Agorism along with some updates from the back yard. Some of this will be driven by feedback both direct and from social media and even some driven by the new Unloose the Goose telegram … Continue reading →

I personally feel my father only gave me a few pieces of real wisdom. My childhood was not exactly the best be he did what he could and the wisdom he did give to me has stood the test of time. Much of it sounded crazy when he said it, today I see how wise it was. When I was young, way to young to really understand he told me something as follows… The people that run this country have one primary thing they want to do, fully domesticate the man. They want us to be like dogs or worse … Continue reading →

A bit of this is feedback by one means or another but a lot of it is just what is on my mind based on current events and what I am observing on social media. I am getting a lot of health questions as well and I want to make sure no one is making decisions only based on what I say. Make sure you have good reasons for what you do when it comes to your health and supplements, specifically when considering a lot of what I have said about D3 recently.

We recently unloosed Episode #3 of Unloose the Goose titled The Futility of Politics and the Utility of Community. It was a great episode and exactly what I hoped for when I assembled the gaggle happened, an idea popped out. You might say we laid and idea egg. Like most idea eggs it was tiny at first, just a topic of discussion, the concept of protecting some activities by creating a “private club” and thereby not being subject to many of the states systems. For 48 hours now this egg has rolled around in my head and made me think … Continue reading →

Today is a different show than I usually do. Yesterday a group of doctors called America’s Frontline Doctors courageously told the truth about hydroxychloroquine in a series of videos. The most powerful video they released in my opinion was then banned by YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Following that their website was taken down by Square Space and the establishment is now going into character assassination mode on all of them. I am going to play most of that video on the air today along with my commentary. I have to say that I know I am voluntarilary risking my entire … Continue reading →

I do realize that the title is a bit redundant. Yes, I know, I could just say “almost everything the government says is a lie” but today we zoom in on specific lies, show them to be lies and come away with solutions to them. Sound good? Great and be assured that these are just a very small number of the lies the government tells along with the medical establishment on this subject. Specifically the ones I am most familiar with and thus able to discuss in depth. Join Me Today to Discuss… Enhancements to my CoVid Prevention Supplements and … Continue reading →

I want to start out by clarifying I am talking about businesses and entrepreneurs who had a chance to succeed in the first place. So a lazy person won’t succeed and a flawed product or service is likely to fail, but we are not talking about that. I am also not really speaking of the “gig economy” here either. Driving or Uber is entrepreneurial but it does not make you an entrepreneur. It is sort of half and half model and the system itself largely compensates for the primary cause of failure in many true independent entrepreneurial ventures. What I … Continue reading →

Frankly it is amusing to me that most people are agorists even though most either do not even know the word at all or simply associate it with anarchism. The word agora is from Greek and it simply means market. Now today the first thing anyone wants to do with anything is politicize it. Capitalist, socialist, etc, must be inserted into any discussion about a market. That is mostly a fallacy though. When spoken of in the form of agorism, we are discussing the market that is, always has been and will always be there when humans interact at any … Continue reading →

So recently I began a series of articles on 8 Mega Trend that are leading the US into extreme flux and likely recession or even depression. The good news is I feel there will be tremendous opportunities as this occurs for people who have their heads on right, are prepared and are skilled in sufficient areas to capitalize the opportunities we will find in our future. In fact I plan a second series of articles on that subject when the first 8 are complete. Given that I am a solutions guy I figured I would get ahead of the game … Continue reading →

Time for the hysteria to end? But are not cases surging, Texas hospitals over loaded, Sweden’s now at black plague death levels and all the Karen’s are cowering in TP forts? Mix of truth, hype and bullshit there folks and today I am going to try to cut though a lot of it. I am going to say this, many times my sources I provide are impeccable but today I am only going to provide a few. I am sick of doing “homework” for people. I will simply say I will be clear as I can today about when I … Continue reading →

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2433- Understanding Systemic vs. Natural Capitalism and was originally and first published on May 7th, 2019. The following are the original show notes from that episode. I had to think a bit about the title of today’s show. It was spawned by this quite anti capitalist article at The Exiled. Let me say I feel the author Yasha Levine is coming at things from a leftist anarcho position, however the article is absolutely accurate in its telling of history. The upshot, capitalism … Continue reading →

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-2458- Dropping the Denominator and was originally and first published on June 25th, 2019. The following are the original show notes from that episode. Have you ever heard the phrase, “the lowest common denominator”. While this is an actual mathematical principle it has also become a colloquialism meaning to cater to the lowest preforming member of a given group. Today that group is the people of the United States and the performance metrics are basic intelligence, critical thinking and the ability to … Continue reading →

Today’s episode was originally and was originally Episode-2389- Becoming a Modern Renaissance Man and first published on Feb. 26th, 2019. The following are the original show notes from that episode.. We have discussed the concept of becoming a modern renaissance man aka a polymath a few times on feedback shows, but never as a stand alone subject.

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally and was originally Episode-2348- Self Ownership Over Political Activism and first published on Dec. 18th, 2018. The following are the original show notes from that episode.. Today I was chatting with Nicole Sauce on facebook and discussing what to do for today’s show. One thing she suggested was perhaps, “why libertarians often come off as assholes and what they can do to better serve their marketing push“. It didn’t slip by me that Nicole said libertarians vs. Libertarians. In libertarian circles capital … Continue reading →

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-1996- Can Insurrection and Unity Coexist and was originally published on May 2nd, 2017. The following are the original show notes from that episode.. When I started this show I was a minarchist libertarian, over the years I made the logical migration to full on voluntarist. Many people of anarchist ideology see no value to things like national borders or any “love of country”. I am not such a person, though I am labeled as such at times. The truth is in … Continue reading →

Today’s episode was originally Episode-1928- Do People Really Want Freedom and was originally published on Jan. 10th 2017. The following are the original show notes from that episode.. The word freedom has almost been risen to holy status in our society. You see people absolutely lose their minds if someone say burns a dime store flag that they personally paid for, because, “that flag symbolizes our freedom”, etc. Our nation is touted as “the freest nation in the world” and anyone questioning the claim is shouted … Continue reading →

I am not talking about CoVid Wave Two or any bullshit that might come with it. Nope I am talking about what TSP will be all about for the rest of the year. I am now only a few days away from my once a year vacation. I will be spending two full weeks on the beach with my wife. Recently a family member asked Dorothy, what do you two do for that long on the beach. Her response was epic and just one of the reasons I love her, it was, “nothing”. Ha! She followed up with “Well really … Continue reading →

Today we are going to discuss a permaculture principle many are familiar with, “the problem is the solution” but we are going to do so without really going into what most people see as permaculture. In other words while I may use some analogies to growing crops here, the problems we will discuss are going to be more main stream problems. The key to making the principal of “the problem is the solution” it two fold. Understand this does not mean the problem is not in fact a problem. If we have an actual problem, and we have many of … Continue reading →

Today’s show was chosen by open suggestions from the TSP Facebook Forum, the person suggesting it put it this way. Disconnecting from the political/media insanity. You did a show a while back reiterating circle of concern, etc… recent news has brought tons of your listeners back into the psychotic loop of following politics and corporate news, getting angry, following more, etc… like it really is the most important thing to their personal well being (which couldn’t be further from the truth). This resonated with me a great deal. Here is why, I can tell you the two stories that will … Continue reading →

Matt Kleopfer joins us today to discuss the impact of technology on children and families. Matt grew up as a stereotypical midwest farm kid, but like most decided to ditch the farm for a college indoctrination and pursued music and education. After 2 college degrees, Matt grabbed his helmet and shovel and headed for the trenches of public government education in a small rural Kansas town. After spending 5 years in the government school scene, Matt noticed some very alarming patterns. By this time he and his wife had four kids and were looking for an alternative. It all changed … Continue reading →

Just a week ago I was inspired by the awesome Curtis Stone to reply to one of his videos and an idea formed. What if a group of podcasters dedicated to liberty in every meaningful way from permaculture, to education reform, to well, everything came together to tackle the big problems in a new way. Rather then telling you what solutions we think you should use, we simply discuss them, in a way designed to teach people not only what can be done but how to discuss big ideas with total respect for everyone one in the conversation, focusing on … Continue reading →
