This is episode 22 of Tower Gang Podcast with your host, the great Anthony Samroff and a bunch of regular guests who've been standing in for me on my show for 21 episodes.
00:00:53.900
How do you put together a show and then never even appear on it for 22 episodes?
00:01:28.480
I'm telling you, it's Monster Ray all over again.
00:01:40.520
BlueTube, we're just going to be doing an ad read right now.
00:01:48.140
Actually, our ad read for BlueTube should just be us just anal fucking each other.
00:02:01.340
What else are we going to do with a hard-on like that?
00:02:03.300
I thought he was just going to say us with boners, but he said he went right with the anal fucking.
00:02:16.220
This cancelled culture, it's just gone through.
00:02:19.580
We just mistook you for Irish instead of Scottish and said, get him out of here.
00:02:28.500
Dave Smith once on his podcast failed to name drop me and said, you know the guy who wrote the book on UBI?
00:02:43.480
The Irish guy who hosts the Scottish Liberty podcast.
00:02:53.680
I did your talk at Porkfest, and I didn't read your book at all.
00:03:06.120
The talk had less than zero to do with my book.
00:03:12.080
Well, I guess there's one passage in the book that was relevant to my talk.
00:03:16.580
Why are you walking through every room in that fucking house right now?
00:03:28.920
MTV Cribs because Scottish people think every consonant is an E.
00:03:47.500
That's the thinnest swimming pool I've ever seen, ever.
00:04:09.960
Welcome to the Tower role-playing game podcast, where we play Dungeons & Dragons for eight hours straight.
00:04:19.060
And zero pussy on what it does to a motherfucker.
00:04:26.700
I'm going to add another accoutrement to this outfit real quick.
00:04:32.560
Oh, so he's wearing a Mardi Gras bead necklace, a Hawaiian shirt, and those grandma sunglasses.
00:04:41.160
He's got the 70s porn star mustache and the anti-Tom Woods shirt, the Tom Woods repellent.
00:04:53.200
I mean, I didn't know that fucking pacing from room to room was against the rules of Tower
00:05:03.100
I feel like it's against the rules of podcasts in general.
00:05:13.000
I guess some of us are just used to doing audio only, and we're given freedom to roam as we please.
00:05:32.280
It's that every single room was a different level of light slash darkness, so it was really fucking me up, giving me a seizure, bouncing off of that chrome dome of yours.
00:05:43.380
Most people don't care to look at your ugly faces, so there's just an ugly version.
00:05:53.340
Maybe it's a nap violation, but you're going to look at our ugly fucking faces while we do
00:05:58.120
Anthony, every time I see your profile picture on Twitter, I think you're doing the High of
00:06:05.500
That's interesting, given that his head looks like a yarmulke.
00:06:09.500
I don't understand how my head looks like a yarmulke.
00:06:41.700
All right, so if I go there and ask a chick for heed, she's going to know what I mean?
00:07:05.480
You should change the name of the podcast to Slightly Retarded Podcast.
00:07:25.740
You should change it to Slightly Regarded Podcast, because that works on so many fucking levels.
00:07:35.820
You know, you try and type in Recarter, and it changes it to Regarded.
00:07:40.800
But it also has that other meaning of, like, well, you know, we're slightly regarded.
00:07:51.420
The other one I was thinking of was Off the Spectrum.
00:07:55.700
You're regarded by them, which makes it sound like, you know, they hold you in good standing.
00:08:15.260
It's about as hot as what Reed is talking about here.
00:08:37.480
Are we just going to shoot the shit for the rest of eternity?
00:08:42.240
But first, I thought we were to talk about what happened to you at Torkfest, because we thought you had died, essentially.
00:08:54.080
I passed my saving throws coming back to the role-playing game.
00:09:07.440
For like a day and a half, he was just dead outside.
00:09:10.560
Well, apparently, I got COVID, although I've roundly been told by a couple of libertarians that COVID doesn't exist.
00:09:44.680
I mean, it's a fucking respiratory illness of some kind.
00:10:08.360
One day, I mean, someone didn't physically remove me.
00:10:18.140
Unfortunately, I didn't get a free helicopter ride to my next Airbnb.
00:10:23.160
But literally, I was staying in this place for a few days, and then the landlady came in,
00:10:28.800
and there was other people staying in the other rooms.
00:10:31.580
And I went out, as I usually do, to a cafe slash restaurant slash somewhere,
00:10:37.100
to sit down with my laptop and do some writing, as I try and do every day.
00:10:42.540
And I got a message from Airbnb saying that I'd been, they'd cancelled half of my stay.
00:10:54.360
And I came back, and she was still there, actually.
00:10:56.980
She was just like, ah, another guest said that you're coughing and shit,
00:11:00.480
and because of the coronavirus, you're ejected.
00:11:07.180
It was close to the airport, but it was fucking in the middle of nowhere.
00:11:14.460
In a sense, she was right, because little did I know, or did I know by this point?
00:11:24.640
So, yeah, technically, I guess, depending on how you look at it,
00:11:38.800
You were literally trying to kill grandmas, man.
00:11:43.280
Well, people say you just want to kill grandma, but that's not true.
00:12:06.500
Masha's in the chat saying the Mises tent variant,
00:12:13.800
and I would assume, this is a very big leap here,
00:12:17.760
but probably has something to do with autism, right?
00:12:23.500
I really like the turn of phrase, the Mises tent variant.
00:12:28.440
Whoever came up with that, that's truly excellent.
00:12:30.920
Whoever came up with that, that's truly excellent.
00:13:04.860
I don't know, man, but again, it's why I manscape.
00:13:13.960
so then I don't have to get anally swabbed, right?
00:13:19.620
I'm pretty sure it's not like a fucking prostate check
00:13:31.700
So, first of all, who watches this retarded podcast?
00:13:39.440
Most of ours have come from the fuckers we, like...
00:13:43.160
He asks if he listens to this and he drops out.
00:13:50.720
I almost think he's doing it intentionally for a fact.
00:13:57.080
All right, in the meantime, we're going to show my Archie flower memes.
00:14:08.700
I keep on getting ejected every time I say the R word.
00:14:14.300
So, from now on, I'm going to say regarded instead of...
00:14:19.940
I was going to say that we're well regarded by a bunch of people.
00:14:48.980
Look at RQ, he said regarded, and he kicked him out.
00:15:07.800
I think you guys are just fucking playing a practical joke on me.
00:15:19.680
We had Maj Ture on, and the same fucking thing happened.
00:15:23.660
He kept dropping out, and then finally, like 20 minutes into this show, he just dips and never comes back.
00:15:28.660
Come on, he doesn't say anything, never responds to us.
00:15:37.480
He's a brave motherfucker, and he's got tons of attitude and charisma, and he's got his own style.
00:16:01.520
He was the only black person in Delaware when that happened.
00:16:08.280
You know, well, as it so happens, Tasha, Spike Cohen's wife, was there, and there was a crew member that was also of a black persuasion.
00:16:29.380
That's what I call Nick, of a black persuasion.
00:16:31.560
Yeah, so, I mean, yeah, don't jump to conclusions.
00:16:43.520
To, when you assume it makes you into an arsehole.
00:16:51.280
No, it's when you assume you make an ass out of you and me.
00:16:58.280
They have a different saying in Scotland, I assume.
00:17:10.960
You know how Tom Hicks has pneumonia right now?
00:17:25.140
Michael Malice got in some shit for, I thought it was a really funny tweet, which was, what?
00:17:31.460
He said, Ron Paul is still the most articulate libertarian.
00:17:34.840
No, I thought he said he was still more articulate than Joe Biden.
00:17:42.760
It would be just funny if he came out like a pro-lockdown fanatic.
00:17:55.700
I don't know if he has coronavirus or just some unrelated pneumonia, but he's still tweeting about it.
00:18:03.100
I want to make sure you don't kick the bucket on us.
00:18:05.400
That'd be a great Tom Woods 2000 joke that he pulls, and he's just like, hey, guys, I've just been fucking with you this whole time.
00:18:18.280
Did you see Nick Sarwark had quote tweeted one of Tom's pneumonia tweets?
00:18:23.680
Basically, it was – I thought Nick was being a real bastard.
00:18:27.720
I don't remember exactly what the tweet was, but it was something like basically to the effect of that it serves you right because you've been talking shit about COVID this whole time, and now you've got it.
00:18:36.900
And Nick implied that Tom was lying about having pneumonia and saying that he had COVID instead.
00:18:49.480
He's like a really, really, really bad wrestling heel.
00:18:52.780
He's just – he wants to be the villain, but he's so bad at it because he's so insufferable.
00:18:56.820
Like, if you're going to be the villain, you have to kind of have, like, charisma.
00:19:00.120
Yeah, you have to have some kind of likeability.
00:19:07.520
Dude, you can't even chop down a twig, apparently.
00:19:13.460
Well, I was just going to say, I saw that the Mises Caucus Porkfest video that just dropped today, the Dan Smots one.
00:19:20.100
I think it was Dan Smots put in the whole thing.
00:19:22.560
I was in it a couple of times, and at one point I'm in it, and I never even realized it at the time.
00:19:28.180
I'm standing right next to Sarwark, and he's just standing there dressed down in, like, a T-shirt wearing, like, sunglasses.
00:19:36.000
Yeah, I knew that he was because people had said that he was there.
00:19:39.060
And he was right there next to me during Karen Ann Harlow's.
00:19:50.460
He's looking at the camera like a chimp operating the phone.
00:19:58.180
I'm going to change my name every time he's done here.
00:20:30.280
Well, the thing is, you know, I've done almost 200 of these,
00:20:34.240
and it's because, you know, I don't have a lot of time between.
00:20:51.120
Well, the thing is, the reason why I didn't go on my laptop
00:20:55.940
which means I didn't bring on a good mic with me.
00:21:07.560
I feel bad to have interrupted the next Sutterworks story.
00:21:15.720
Yeah, we tried to get out of it as quick as possible.
00:21:19.640
Now, at Porkfest, though, I had actually thought that Anthony might have been drunk
00:21:24.840
plus on like Delta A or something, which is why he had passed out the way that he did.
00:21:30.120
Like, man, he just got super fucked up on alcohol and drugs.
00:21:34.500
Anthony, you still don't believe you actually passed out, right?
00:21:36.560
When you say I was passed out, what do you actually mean?
00:21:44.800
Like, just outside of the Mises tent, in the grass, on the ground.
00:21:49.060
You were, I don't know, just laying on the ground.
00:22:10.380
I apologize for the first 20 minutes of this show.
00:22:26.080
Do you live in the States or do you still live in Scotland or UK?
00:22:29.540
Don't say I live in the States because that's illegal.
00:22:36.220
I'm going to, I'm going, because you're, because I'm on a tourist visa.
00:22:39.760
I'm only allowed to be here for 90 days at a time.
00:22:56.680
I mean, they were even, they actually had a terrorist visa.
00:23:00.500
That's what they gave Muhammad Ad on those guys.
00:23:19.840
So anyway, the point is I need to, I'm just about to go on a V, though you can't call it
00:23:25.860
a visa run because if they hear the podcast and I say, I'm going to Costa Rica and a visa
00:23:31.120
run, then they'll be like, did you just go to Costa Rica so you could get back into
00:23:38.700
Okay, maybe you shouldn't be saying this on a show right now.
00:23:44.360
And then they go, we think you're trying to live here.
00:23:48.180
Why don't you just fuck off back to Scotland or wherever you came from?
00:24:00.600
How is it going to be to get back into Scotland?
00:24:04.380
It's pretty, right, okay, is this, how much you want me to talk about it?
00:24:21.960
Okay, so, you know, I've got a reputation to uphold.
00:24:25.760
People will start thinking I'm a decent human being.
00:24:31.320
Right, so they've got this thing going on in the UK where some countries are red, some countries are amber, and some countries are green.
00:24:41.760
And if it's a red country that you're coming into the UK from, you have to quarantine.
00:24:50.160
And if it's amber, you just need to take, like, some PCR tests at your own expense and prove that you've not fucking got COVID.
00:25:01.100
But there's also different rules if you're vaccinated than if you're unvaccinated.
00:25:13.480
I'm going to the conference in Turkey, the Hans-Hermann Hoffa conference in Turkey in September.
00:25:34.720
Does it work the same as Israel where if you're just, like, slightly Turkish, you get free citizenship?
00:26:03.140
I dunked on some guy on Twitter and a bunch of Armenians just started liking my tweet.
00:26:08.560
Just, like, there was, like, 40 Armenians just liked my tweet.
00:26:14.540
Do they have, like, the Armenian flag or something?
00:26:31.200
So, Anthony, you're going to the HOPPA conference.
00:26:39.300
But if things are too fucked up, then I might not even be able to do that.
00:26:54.180
And I was meant to only be away for, like, a couple of months.
00:27:01.520
But it was just, like, the lockdowns in Scotland got really bad.
00:27:07.800
I'm not going back to Scotland to stare at four walls and be cold.
00:27:14.540
Because I wouldn't have made friends with you guys if I'd stayed in Scotland.
00:27:25.300
I met Anthony twice and he didn't remember who I was when I told him to follow me on Twitter.
00:27:38.960
We met at the fucking Gene Epstein versus Ben Burgess debate in Florida.
00:27:45.200
We also met at Childeberg and took a picture together and spoke for a minute multiple times.
00:27:52.320
And he was on the Slurp Gang episode that I was on, too.
00:27:56.200
I'm the one that made him do the American accent.
00:27:58.720
And then he fucking big-times me on Twitter like,
00:28:01.520
I don't know who this fucking Turkish regard is.
00:28:12.800
I just wanted to publicly humiliate you in front of all of our mutual friends.
00:28:44.640
And then what was it last week or something like that?
00:28:47.040
You tweeted something at me again and I did it again.
00:28:56.240
you tweeted, well, you tweeted slagging me off.
00:29:01.560
you tweeted trying to give me a hard time about something
00:29:16.580
Tarragang's going live with Anthony Zamroff and blah, blah.
00:29:49.280
Whenever we do, whenever you tweet about tacos,
00:58:40.220
We should still talk about the Australia thing too though.
00:59:06.520
I just want to see if any of you can understand what he's saying.
00:59:34.940
because we've been invited by a very special character.
00:59:57.780
I don't think this guy has a really strong accent.
01:02:13.720
And what's the Pint of Guinness like here, Sham?
01:02:38.160
And what's the crack like with all the lads here in the bar?
01:03:13.500
But you know, do you ever watch the Today Show on RT1?
01:03:34.380
So finally, Shyam, the nation is watching now on RT1 on the Today Show.
01:03:45.820
No, so Nick, when you share your screen, you can share your entire screen, or you can share
01:03:50.560
a specific window, like just the browser window.
01:04:01.720
You're going to disagree with me, the software developer here?
01:04:05.920
No, I'm not disagreeing with you, the software developer.
01:04:10.760
Even though I am the one who couldn't figure out the audio thing before, and Clint got it
01:04:15.880
I know you're Scottish, but could you understand that at all?
01:04:21.500
I think if I had it on an actual television, and I could hear it in proper sound quality,
01:04:26.660
I think I would have been able to make out most of it.
01:04:30.160
It's just pretty funny, because the guy just continues talking, and you can tell, even
01:04:35.540
the guy that's actually fucking Irish has no idea what he's saying.
01:04:39.520
He had a few, I think that guy probably drank it.
01:04:48.640
Like, the big giant gin blossom nose that he'd been drinking since he was 13 years old.
01:05:00.820
So what you're saying is that the guy has poo brain from drinking so much.
01:05:04.720
I think that he has as many brain cells as he has teeth, is all I'm saying.
01:05:14.020
I was saying whenever you cut out for the fourth time that this is the most awkward show we've
01:05:21.980
That's the equivalent of, this never happens, honestly.
01:05:27.780
No, my fucking, no, my, my, my, my laptop just didn't have the bandwidth to deal with
01:05:39.200
What kind of fucking punk ass laptop are you using?
01:05:43.980
The problem is we're looking forward to Dave Smith and we're just looking right past you,
01:05:52.000
It's like, um, if you're a professional better, like I am, it's, it's a look ahead spot.
01:05:57.160
You're like, you don't bring your A game when you have that huge, uh, huge performance on
01:06:14.980
How did you get him to, like, how did you get him to appear on your show?
01:06:25.440
The thing is, we're very connected with all of his friends.
01:06:41.720
Well, all I'm going to, all I'm saying is it's going to look a little bit better on your
01:07:32.260
Yeah, so you guys know when you're in like a gas station and you're just trying to like,
01:07:35.740
you know, get something like a drink or like cigarettes or something and you're like rushing
01:07:41.100
and there's just, there's just like some, there's just some old dude in front of you
01:07:54.620
Well, yeah, and you're giving money to the state.
01:07:57.620
Yeah, it's just like, that's just like a loser addiction because like, at least if you're
01:08:00.860
addicted to drugs, you get something out of it.
01:08:15.300
I was about to say, we've been going for over an hour.
01:08:19.400
I can tell things that things are, I can tell that things are coming to a screeching, awkward
01:08:23.500
halt because the giant sweaty autistic hand has grabbed the handbrake and pulled it on
01:08:34.380
Hey, I'm not the one getting booted from this stream for saying anything, buddy.
01:08:43.260
Do you have any plugs that you want to get out?
01:08:46.080
Fat Dave is the least worst member of the show.
01:08:52.320
That's an interesting way for you to come out of the closet.
01:09:12.600
You can look up Be Yourself and Love It Podcast.
01:09:15.920
I'm now on Twitter, basically thanks to you guys.
01:09:20.880
We basically bullied him into getting on Twitter.
01:09:24.460
I never used Twitter much before this year, but after being at Childerberg, I started using it.
01:09:30.960
Yeah, Childerberg was born out of Twitter, so it was only appropriate.
01:09:34.740
You guys get, like, I had, I'm not exaggerating when I say that you guys are basically responsible for me getting thousands of followers.
01:09:47.920
I didn't have that many people following me before.
01:09:51.400
But, um, so that was quite, I, so that was quite interesting.
01:10:03.660
If you want to find me, you know where to fucking find me.
01:10:09.060
So, I do actually have Scottish relatives, so should I send them, like, would they be, like, if they're fully, uh, blue-pilled and fucking, what's that?
01:10:23.180
If they're fully blue-pilled, would it be, uh, good to still send them your way and just be, like, or is it just, like, jumping into, like, a full red pill automatically?
01:10:33.520
The Scottish Liberty podcast does not just, um, cover Scottish events.
01:10:40.560
It's pretty fucking, like, it's just libertarian shit.
01:10:45.900
So, but what I would do, I mean, I recommend anyone go to mises.org and type my name into a search there and read, like, I've got articles that are aimed at explaining economics to not, you know, to, they're basically,
01:11:03.520
um, a lot of my articles are just basically refuting quite common, um, status fallacies.
01:11:14.820
Like, uh, I wrote 150 theater reviews before I ever wrote about economics.
01:11:21.040
So, what I basically try to do is take stuff that you do when you write a theater review and apply it to economics to make my articles a bit more punchy.
01:11:33.600
So, there might be something in there for them.
01:11:37.660
That should have been my, damn it, that should have been my plug.
01:11:44.740
All the, uh, yeah, I know people can go on Amazon and buy my book, but, um, yeah, uh, that's, uh, yeah, that's, that's something you could do as well.
01:11:57.440
And be yourself and love it as a masturbation podcast.
01:12:01.740
All of my podcasts are masturbation podcasts, especially for the ladies.
01:12:07.260
Cause you know how sexy they find the Scottish accent.
01:12:13.480
Just as sexy as the Massachusetts, the Boston accent.
01:12:27.360
It's whatever they find exotic, man, as far as the accent is concerned.
01:12:32.000
Now, by the way, Anthony, does the carpet match the drapes?
01:13:00.400
I was going to say that it was kind of odd that you have, like, jet black hair and beard.
01:13:17.620
Did they get out about the same time as, uh, Michael Malice's family?
01:13:27.420
Michael Malice, like, was born in the, uh, USSR.
01:14:04.000
It's the last time I'll be invited on Tower Gang.
01:14:08.180
I don't fucking know why you invited me in the first place.
