Women jerk off dicks like fucking they're an unruly ferret.
00:01:09.220
You see, the socialists don't have an accurate answer for this, and she needs to account for it.
00:01:17.420
We can stay horny and retarded longer than she can stay sane.
00:01:26.140
Ben, maybe you could say we had sex, but we didn't fuck.
00:01:39.540
We got the OG squad in the house, myself, Clint Russell, Fat Dave Smith, Big Toad, Jose
00:01:59.240
Because I don't remember who was in the first episode.
00:02:00.680
I know Reed, I might not have been until the second episode.
00:02:02.400
No, Reed wasn't there until a little while later.
00:02:08.360
I want to start this off by criticizing the fact that the intro is not big enough, so
00:02:15.380
like you could see the margins of the screen in the background, so you should probably
00:02:21.840
I'm just going to criticize and not offer any help.
00:02:25.500
Dickie Walnuts is known for lacking in quality with these videos.
00:02:28.580
Yeah, we talked to JVP, the John Page music guy at the thing, and he had said...
00:02:33.700
I guess he was getting ready to work on some shit before Dickie dropped it, so he had
00:02:37.700
We were talking, maybe he'll coordinate with Dickie to have the same vibe, but have a little
00:02:49.120
Like, he was on his phone fucking scanning through clips and then put it all together
00:02:55.440
Yeah, but the John V. Page intro, like, I was the one that was holding that up, because
00:02:59.720
I was supposed to throw down my rap to it, and I still haven't done that yet.
00:03:03.160
He's a dude who's done, I think, Pete's show and a few other big guys.
00:03:29.280
I just imagine Dickie is a boring human being now, that he's not drunk 24-7.
00:03:36.140
Can we start by talking about how many times Dickie kissed me?
00:03:41.540
And he actually went for a kiss on the cheek, and I turned and made him get me on the lips
00:03:51.820
I just had a bunch of people kiss my head, so that was the thing that was going on.
00:03:59.120
So for those that aren't massive nerds and don't know what we're talking about, Tom Woods
00:04:03.580
Tom Woods is like the OG podcaster guy, big libertarian author, all that.
00:04:10.520
And my God, we walk into this auditorium, there's 2,500 people there.
00:04:26.440
Well, I was kind of hoping Bob Murphy would be there, too.
00:04:32.460
Yeah, I thought Bob might be Tom's surprise guest, because leading up to the event, because
00:04:37.940
Tom had talked to me at the first of the receptions, he had basically led me to believe that it
00:04:43.440
was somebody that would definitely be recognized, that they had to sneak around and hide.
00:04:48.120
But then at that point, because I was knowing who was going to be there, and knowing that
00:04:51.260
Dave Smith was definitely not going to be there, I was like, it has to be Bob Murphy or
00:04:54.880
Scott Horton, because it's going to be somebody that everybody's going to know who they are.
00:04:58.460
And then I knew it was Scott Horton before it happened.
00:05:01.460
Imagine if Dave just busted down the door and said, it was all a fucking ruse.
00:05:07.200
I knew Scott was there from people who were hanging out with him at Renegade University.
00:05:14.660
Not Renegade University, but that thing they did at Buck's house in Texas.
00:05:19.240
Where they teach you how to be a child molester or some shit?
00:05:22.900
They're like, yeah, you can come on, you're over 18, but we'll let you in.
00:05:26.880
Seriously, I did know about Scott, but it was awesome.
00:05:30.580
I was really satisfied and blown away by how well, not that I didn't think Jeff Dice would
00:05:35.020
do a good job, but I was shocked at how funny that motherfucker was the whole time.
00:05:40.380
I'm going to be straight up, I didn't watch it.
00:05:41.560
I watched probably less than five minutes the whole day.
00:05:43.480
Okay, so we can kind of say, I guess we thought about doing this chronologically, but I guess
00:05:50.820
Um, so me, Clint, I tried doing that the other day.
00:05:53.980
I just couldn't, I couldn't keep the timeline in order.
00:05:57.360
So don't even, I wouldn't even bother, honestly.
00:05:59.760
So me, Clint, Jose, and then everyone that was with us besides Toad, because I think me,
00:06:06.800
Clint and Toad and Ashton and my wife and Liberty Thought, like all these people were, and then
00:06:23.720
I'm just proving that I'm the most autistic, man.
00:06:27.260
I watched the beginning where Jeff, you know, roasted everybody.
00:06:31.200
And then I watched where Tom talked and then Tom brought out Scott.
00:06:39.760
And whenever they brought up Angela and they did that super cringe nurse thing, I like bounced
00:06:45.280
But at first, at first, what I did was I just told, because I was sitting with Joni and Emo
00:06:54.440
Do you want to say real quick, Joni, it was nice seeing you again as well.
00:07:01.960
He was sitting, yeah, with me for a while, kind of off to the side.
00:07:04.580
And actually, like Tom and like Doc Dixon and some of the other people who were actually
00:07:08.000
in the thing were like sitting kind of right near us, too.
00:07:13.760
So whenever they did the thing with the nurses, I like, I just was like, I just told Joni,
00:07:19.840
I was like, OK, this is a good time to go get another drink.
00:07:24.900
And I went to the bathroom and went and get some drinks.
00:07:26.560
And then after I got drinks, I saw, I think, Jose out there.
00:07:33.200
So I went and brought Joni and Emo their drinks.
00:07:42.980
Dude, shout out to Jermaine Vincent for the $20 super chat.
00:07:46.260
But, dude, meeting Jermaine was pretty awesome.
00:07:56.200
Dude, it was the best fucking time just meeting all these people that we fucking have been talking to and talking and, like, interacting with for literally months now.
00:08:07.220
And, like, just actually meeting them and hanging out in real life.
00:08:13.040
We hung out with a bunch of the Swamp Creature podcast people.
00:08:20.420
Fuck, who is the – I can't remember who all the other people in there.
00:08:27.160
I'll tell you, they have – so there's Duke, Tim.
00:08:34.840
The only one that wasn't there that I know for sure was Mara, who's the youngest of the crack cast, I believe.
00:08:44.180
The only one I got a picture with was Richie, unfortunately.
00:08:47.580
I didn't get a picture with anyone else either.
00:08:49.080
Yeah, I got one with Duke because we had, like, matching shirts on the night of the event, which, of course, everybody did the Tom troll, and everybody decided to wear – or not everybody, but a lot of people decided to wear Hawaiian shirts because of Tom bashing them on Twitter.
00:09:04.140
Leave With Me Alone feels left out, apparently.
00:09:08.040
He was awesome to me because we had been talking – he was, like, really early Tower Gang, and then he got booted off of Twitter.
00:09:13.920
And then he came up to me, like, on Friday night.
00:09:18.200
Yeah, and he was like, dude, I'm Leave With Me Alone.
00:09:20.320
I'm like, holy shit, dude, it's nice to see you.
00:09:29.100
Dude, I think he was in the original, like, podcast group chat as well because we have the Tower Gang group chat, which is, like, all the – like, the gang, the giant gang, you know, and then we have our fucking, like, one where we do for coordination for episodes and stuff.
00:09:41.860
And, like, he was in that one because I think we initially – he was going to be one of the dudes on there because I think he was in college or some shit and was getting ready to – like, when he was done, he was going to hop on.
00:09:53.820
Like, because it was – I mean, the shit was months ago.
00:09:56.420
He got – he, like, just kind of disappeared so long ago.
00:09:59.680
I think when I was still on my first account, which I got –
00:10:03.400
But, like, he disappeared, like, five, six months ago, maybe five or so.
00:10:14.380
We will get to, like, all the shit we did, but we are going to – we have to shout out everybody because we've met so many fucking people.
00:10:31.460
So she's just going to fly into the window or some shit.
00:10:43.020
What do you do is bungee jump from the top into a window?
00:11:08.300
Apparently, this is the episode where we just suck all the dicks.
00:11:10.960
I don't have problems with offensive shit, but at least make it funny.
00:11:14.480
Because, like, me and Toga had an argument with some dude about whether you should ever say the N-word.
00:11:17.600
I don't think I've ever said the N-word on the show.
00:11:24.760
So, like, if I'm in a situation where I feel like it will be funny, I have used the N-word before in, you know, personal talks and stuff or in the group chats.
00:11:32.700
But, like, I generally don't unless it's funny.
00:11:39.160
I'll try to make it funny and shock value, okay?
00:11:45.160
This is the Anthony was hanging out with us shirtless in the pool in the hot tub.
00:11:53.560
Maybe Jose would have been the better one to ask.
00:12:01.620
I literally – he clearly was trying to get away from our group of drunk idiots.
00:12:07.360
And, like, I kind of – I approached him real quick, and it was, like, a mix of, like, giving him a chance to kind of slip away from the crowd plus get my chance to get a picture.
00:12:16.060
And I was like, hey, man, I can tell you clearly I want to get away.
00:12:19.380
I'd be silly if I didn't get a picture, you know, because I'm doing the podcast series on your book.
00:12:30.540
Malice – I have the most Malice story possible.
00:12:33.880
Ashton's, like, chatting him up for minutes and minutes, and I walk over, and she turns, and she goes, oh, this is Clint from Liberty Lockdown.
00:12:39.980
He has got a great podcast that you should go on.
00:12:41.680
And I was like, no, bitch, you did not just do that.
00:12:44.200
You did not just introduce me as a podcaster to Michael Malice.
00:12:48.600
Michael Malice looks at her, and he goes, you shouldn't do that.
00:12:53.100
And then Malice and I kind of bonded over the fact that we were both, like, chastising her for the terrible introduction.
00:13:00.120
And then he's like, I don't know what I'm going on.
00:13:01.900
And I run inside, and I look at it, and he's like – I'm like, intermission's not on yet.
00:13:06.780
So I served my role, and I feel like I salvaged that interaction.
00:13:11.520
You missed a part of that story where I was right behind you, and I came up, and I said, you don't want to go on his podcast.
00:13:19.120
And then I just walked away because I heard her say to Malice, and I was just like, don't go to the podcast.
00:13:26.120
I didn't even remember that, but thank you for –
00:13:28.440
Did Michael at no point during that interaction say that Ashton must be stopped, though?
00:13:33.160
Because it seems like that would be something he would say.
00:13:36.940
So for one, whenever I met Michael, I shook his hand.
00:13:46.460
And I don't know if he could tell if I was joking or not, but I immediately was like, I'm just fucking with you, man.
00:13:53.880
And I was like, oh, because I had replied to him the other day.
00:14:04.680
And then so later, you know, we chatted for a second.
00:14:08.400
We got him emo hoppy and went grab his anarchist handbook out of the car and came back and got it.
00:14:15.380
Dude, I was so mad I didn't bring mine because I have like mine I'm doing my show for.
00:14:19.980
So it would have been like so much cooler to have him.
00:14:29.680
Because for those who know, he he's a big Invincible fan.
00:14:32.620
His big like the artist of the Invincible comic book series is like a huge he's a huge fan of.
00:14:38.000
It's like his inspiration for doing his art and shit.
00:14:41.960
And I got I literally went to a comic con where that guy was at was got my favorite volume signed by him.
00:14:48.960
And then I also got my favorite panel in the in that comic signed so that like, I'll pull that out of the comic that way, like from now, from from now and forever, we'll have a piece of each other.
00:15:03.740
I, I really I try to like say that not a lot, a lot like when I when I like I'm kind of a bigger guy.
00:15:12.140
It's just it's annoying when people meet me in person.
00:15:15.960
Yeah, it's not because I was trying to be conceited.
00:15:20.580
It's not really it's not challenge to stack on muscle when you're like for one.
00:15:26.480
Jose is like a dwarf, like legitimately like that is what he looks like.
00:15:31.040
Jose is like a French bulldog and I'm like a greyhound.
00:15:39.960
Like we were we were chilling outside after the show and you would just hear his laugh just in the background.
00:15:49.140
It's even more pronounced, I think, in real life.
00:15:55.080
So Toad, I said that you were you were less retarded in real life, but I didn't mean it.
00:16:02.360
Dude, did anyone notice Reed's head is way bigger than I thought it'd be?
00:16:12.320
I don't mean to I don't mean this to be rude, but I was surprised.
00:16:16.220
Reed was a little bit more like autistic than I thought he would be.
00:16:19.360
And we'll address this more whenever he's going to get on.
00:16:24.080
He's such a fucking sweetheart online and in person.
00:16:26.940
Whenever like I would just look and watch him and he would just be wandering around in like circles with this empty look on his face.
00:16:33.040
I was like, this motherfucker like stoned or hammered.
00:16:39.660
But it really was great to meet the guy for real.
00:16:41.860
Dude, because he operates heavy machinery, he does not smoke the weed.
00:16:45.800
So he doesn't lose his job or whatever, which meant he could not partake in the Scott Horton smoking circle either, which was my favorite part of the entire event.
00:16:57.420
Four in the morning, basically, like 15 people are just sitting on the sidewalk with Scott, like listening to him break down the Bill Kristol debate and some of the stuff from the event and foreign policy.
00:17:10.000
I'm like, man, I'm not going to pass on this opportunity.
00:17:12.460
I rarely smoke, but I did both nights at this thing.
00:17:17.320
It was nice seeing you as well, Ben, by the way.
00:17:22.560
There were so many people I want to spend more time with.
00:17:24.700
There was a couple people I messaged, like, hey, if I didn't spend more time with you, I'm sorry, don't take that as anything.
00:17:29.400
There were so many people that I have deep histories online with that I want to spend time with, but it was so hard to split it all up amongst everybody.
00:17:36.800
Yeah, there was just not enough time, especially when I spent four hours watching the entire event and not hang out with people.
00:17:41.540
Yeah, that's why I literally was like, I'm not going to watch this.
00:17:44.780
I was like, I can watch this anytime I want to.
00:17:47.440
I cannot get back time that I'm going to spend with the homies.
00:17:51.840
I left right at the Magic when the Magic guy came up.
00:17:56.540
And then I was out there, and I was just going to go take a piss.
00:18:00.520
And I walked out, and I see our whole group out there.
00:18:03.420
It was so funny because it was like our group was the only ones not watching this thing.
00:18:07.720
And so, and I was like, oh, shit, okay, I'm just staying out here for the rest of the night.
00:18:10.420
This is hard evidence that our shit is more fun than the event even.
00:18:14.020
Because I was having a thousand times better time hanging with you guys than when I was inside watching it.
00:18:21.400
And the thing, the really fucked part was all I was waiting was for Eric July to go do his talk.
00:18:27.340
And it turns out he's going to run dad jokes with Tom Woods.
00:18:39.220
Yeah, I remember you were out there, and you were like, because I said, when are we going to go outside?
00:18:43.480
Because I want to go and just like chill outside.
00:18:45.180
And you're like, no, I've got to wait until Eric July goes up.
00:18:47.720
And he kept saying, I'm going to wait, I'm going to wait.
00:19:00.780
This is what I was talking about, saying that you're more retarded than I expected.
00:19:03.900
The fact that you sat through the entire two-plus-hour talk instead of hanging out with us.
00:19:08.260
You could rewatch it later and have the same exact effect.
00:19:12.500
Dude, I was so pissed that we, so Cole and I, we had the VIP bracelets because we were in the elite of the elite reception or whatever.
00:19:22.320
And Cole's like, no, I'm going to hang out with the homies.
00:19:24.800
So we went over to the left side, and you couldn't see shit.
00:19:27.700
And then not only that, but on top of that, you had this, you know, the entire Clint harem of women was there.
00:19:38.560
You're like, yes, white women clearly must be stopping.
00:19:42.900
If you keep saying that, I'm going to smack the shit out of you even harder next time.
00:19:56.120
I'm just tired of Toad saying it because I don't like Toad.
00:20:03.900
So, like, we go in there and I was 100% ready to watch the whole thing.
00:20:08.760
I didn't realize it was going to be fucking four hours long.
00:20:11.960
But the funny part was, is that, so Dickie was sitting with us and Dickie had a bottle of tequila.
00:20:24.500
I think that was in reference to the chat I just had up.
00:20:28.900
Earlier, he said Nick Fuentes is a 23-year-old version that peaked in high school.
00:20:34.940
Before that, he said it's about time to stand up and neutralize corrupt politicians.
00:20:44.080
And why do you keep saying random shit, Anthony?
00:20:51.640
I'm still thinking about the fact that Clint basically just said that,
00:21:02.480
Like, wherever we were at, that's where the party was.
00:21:08.820
I missed half of it, so I can't even really talk shit.
00:21:10.660
But I'm just telling you, wherever we were at, that was where the party was.
00:21:21.420
that the Libertarian podcast community is the equivalent of the guy
00:21:30.060
It was 100% because – so, it was sitting in our row, like I said,
00:21:42.900
Dickie had a full bottle of tequila that he –
00:21:45.420
that he would not stop putting in the air and, like, drinking straight from the bottle.
00:22:00.020
And then he would throw the bottle in my face and be like,
00:22:10.960
And then he would take a shot and then literally 15 seconds later, same thing.
00:22:18.020
And by the time we left, he was so blacked out.
00:22:21.500
Dude, that little 90-pound red-haired chick ended up getting that.
00:22:27.700
I made a multiple passive-aggressive comments being like,
00:22:30.140
Hey, I don't know if I should be drinking straight-up liquor
00:23:00.660
By the way, some morbidly obese pedo-looking dude was trying to jack her.
00:23:07.200
That is what he gets grabbed and go real quick.
00:23:09.940
I mean, we were like a group of us sort of like babysitting her at the poolside bar there
00:23:17.980
I was like, we have to keep her away from this.
00:23:31.600
I was going to fucking wreck that kid if he came up.
00:23:34.200
I was going to try, but he also outweighed me like by three times.
00:23:41.600
So for some reason, she was very handsy and she would come up to me.
00:23:50.060
The first time she met me, she was like, oh, you're Fat Dave.
00:23:52.620
And she was like, I'm so glad you're real and not a parody.
00:23:59.540
And she was just like, I thought you were a parody and I'm so glad you're real.
00:24:02.840
So she gave me a hug and she did this multiple times and she would scratch –
00:24:06.660
She had really long fingernails and scratch my back enough to where I have like an almost scar on my back right now.
00:24:14.220
And then she would just be like, yeah, I'm a sadist masochist.
00:24:23.260
But when they were like leaving at the end of the night, like after the Scott Horton thing, after we all got up, she like hugged me and she said something.
00:24:29.820
She said something like, DM me if you want to have a gun battle.
00:24:39.360
Reed Coverdale's head has entered the building.
00:24:49.440
I got a seven and a half, which makes you slightly bigger than me in more ways than one.
00:24:55.100
Clint being between Reed's head and Fat Dave's body, though.
00:24:58.680
I don't know how he's not being split apart or something.
00:25:03.000
When I saw Reed's head, I was like immediately like it ran through my head of like, oh, it's a known thing in Hollywood.
00:25:08.020
Some of the more successful people are ones with big heads, so they do well on camera.
00:25:11.980
I was like, is this a secret to success, having like a fucking, you know, Down syndrome head?
00:25:27.320
Well, I'm also Swedish, so that checks out, actually.
00:25:36.860
Like, you know, maybe comparatively, it's about the same.
00:25:41.480
Dude, Cole is way more thicker than we thought it was.
00:25:48.380
I was like, yo, grab a station to pull up in this motherfucker.
00:25:50.700
Big old chunky ass I wanted to get my face in, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:05.340
I would actually recommend going to Skinks Fest South.
00:26:17.620
Yeah, and of course, Shoulderburg, I think, will be coming up again in May.
00:26:26.260
Jermaine Vincent says, my favorite parts of Tom Woods 2000 was included hearing Jose's laugh in the wild.
00:26:34.640
And seeing how droopy Fat Dave's eyelids get after a beer.
00:26:45.060
So straight alcohol and fucking taking fat rips from Jose's – what is this?
00:26:54.980
Oh, I thought we were talking about the Friday night because we met Jermaine Friday night.
00:27:01.120
I also was also very, very hammered Friday night too.
00:27:06.780
So on Friday, I met Reed and Toad because they came in, and we decided to go to dinner first.
00:27:12.800
So we like – there was a whole ordeal that we went through.
00:27:20.380
Legitimately, it was a gay bar, which is correct, guys, right?
00:27:38.460
If you want to feel like the bell of the ball, go to a gay bar.
00:27:49.020
I remember everything up until like leaving the pool area basically.
00:27:56.460
Yeah, so I did order the 9-11 cocktail, and at that point I was already a lot of shots in because –
00:28:01.380
So unfortunately, my four-month sobriety ended with one night of drinking where basically what happened was when Reed, Fat Dave, Fat Dave's wife and I were out having trouble trying to get food anywhere.
00:28:18.140
We went to a fucking Asian restaurant because we just wanted – we wanted hibachi.
00:28:23.880
So we go and I go up there, and it was just us four and then like one other dude, like another couple or something like that, came up and put in our reservation to eat.
00:28:40.960
We didn't really care about how long it takes because we were just chilling out talking.
00:28:44.440
And like 20 minutes later, we come back, and I'm like, hey, dude, it's been like 20 minutes.
00:28:49.640
Two other like groups of people come in and gotten seated.
00:28:55.580
The dude that took – your name was gone actually at that point.
00:29:01.100
And then like 10 minutes after that, I go back up, and it's a different lady.
00:29:04.680
And I was just like, hey, multiple groups have come in now.
00:29:08.900
I put – I've been here for 30 minutes, 35 minutes.
00:29:24.760
Immediately upon entering the restaurant, this Asian man runs up to us, pours four Crown Royal shots, and hands it to all of us, and then looks at Toad and says, drink.
00:29:40.060
And then we're all like, well, I guess we have to drink this.
00:29:42.640
And so we all did a shot of whiskey before we even sat down.
00:29:47.820
Yeah, but the other thing was this was so weird because I did not think that that dude worked there.
00:29:56.400
He greets us by just handing us shots and not even saying anything.
00:30:05.980
So we just sat there after taking a drink, and then someone else comes and sits us down.
00:30:10.620
And then midway through our food coming, he comes by again, pours another four shots of Crown Royal.
00:30:22.260
And then to pay our bill, we have to go up to the bar.
00:30:24.700
And a different guy just sitting down goes, hey, if you're at the bar, you have to do shots.
00:30:41.480
I do think it's a good sign that you were able to drink and then not be an issue after that, and you didn't really the rest of the weekend.
00:30:50.420
Relapse is part of recovery, and prolapsed anus is part of dating recovery.
00:30:58.740
I was super – I'm just going to – I just want to say real quick, Toad, tremendously disappointed you for falling off the wagon, not because you did it, but because you did it the day before I arrived.
00:31:09.760
Makes me so sad that you didn't save your debauchery for when I was there.
00:31:12.960
That's not true because you were fucking there.
00:31:17.740
I was, but I was an hour away with three women.
00:31:21.840
You come see drunk me and hang out with drunk me at the poolside where, as you mentioned, I ordered a 9-11 cocktail.
00:31:28.980
I went up to the bar, and I was like, I'm going to get a 9-11 cocktail.
00:31:34.460
And I told him it's a Manhattan with two kamikazes, and he just cracked up laughing.
00:31:38.180
And then one of the dudes from the Swamp Creatures, I think, him, was that his name?
00:31:44.860
One of those dudes was, like, just started – he was like, did you just order a 9-11 cocktail?
00:31:51.140
Dude, there were a, like, surprisingly high number of Ryan Dawson fans there.
00:31:58.440
I don't know if Ryan would appreciate it because it was kind of gay, and he doesn't really go with that type of stuff.
00:32:02.380
But there were, like, 15 of us in a hot tub, and we were all, like, just talking about Ryan Dawson.
00:32:07.900
I was like, I wonder what you can do in this moment right now.
00:32:10.560
There was a surprising amount of all of our fans.
00:32:14.140
It was very weird whenever we came up on Friday.
00:32:17.280
Like, we were walking – so, we got a message from Alex Hatch.
00:32:20.340
It was awesome meeting her, and, like, she was super nice the whole time.
00:32:29.080
It's going to be us, Alex Hatch, and Tom Woods.
00:32:35.640
It is literally 50 people and more, probably 100 people standing outside by this bar, and we're just like, oh, just everybody's here.
00:32:48.200
And then we hear, like, oh, Tower Gang is here, which is awesome to hear.
00:32:52.880
And then, like, met Pete Quinones at that time.
00:32:55.240
He called out Toad, and then he called out me, and then called out Reed.
00:33:00.800
I mean, this is – I mean, Clint and Rita, I guess I've gotten this, and Nick has gotten a little bit, too, of, like, people recognizing you and asking you to take pictures with them, which is super weird.
00:33:15.960
But, I mean – and then somebody asked me – I think her name was Lainey.
00:33:25.540
She was hanging out with us a little bit before I left, but I hadn't met her until then.
00:33:28.800
She does marketing for, like, the LP, and she was just like, I'm totally wasted.
00:33:33.080
And she's just, like, basically asking what's my inspiration for my Twitter account.
00:33:42.340
You're like Dave Smith at a buffet line, obviously.
00:33:45.740
The best thing was when Autumn said that you were real and not a parody or whatever.
00:33:54.160
Dude, with the fans thing, though, the weirdest – I feel like – like, I hung out with Reed probably a good portion of the night, like, probably most of the night.
00:34:01.120
And, like, the weirdest part is obviously Reed is a much larger platform than I do.
00:34:05.260
So it was, like, me just hanging out with Reed, just me and him, like, obviously it was, like, people were coming up, like, oh, my God, it's Reed.
00:34:10.700
And, like, don't get me wrong, I got some, like, oh, hey, it's you, Jose, and people, like, talking to me.
00:34:18.220
And I'm next to him, so there's that weird, like – and then half the time they're – I can't tell if they're looking at me like, who the fuck is this guy with Reed?
00:34:24.860
And then, like, but then they're, like – but then you can't tell.
00:34:26.880
You have to, like, read them or, like, do they know who I am?
00:34:29.040
I'm, like – because you're, like, it's just very awkward.
00:34:30.900
And it's not that I want them to know who I am or even really care.
00:34:35.520
Yeah, I mean, I got some of that, too, but it was, like, yeah, I mean –
00:34:44.140
I didn't even know he knew who I was, but I'm, like, walking down the hallway, and Jeff just sees me, and he beelines right toward me.
00:34:54.160
And we shook hands, and he's, like, you know, I appreciate that you're the same person in real life that you are online, and we don't see that enough anymore.
00:35:05.960
And he was, like, yeah, I follow you on Twitter, right?
00:35:14.460
And he's, like, you don't, like, call the Mises Institute Nazis or anything, do you?
00:35:18.700
And I said, no, but I get called a Nazi all the time.
00:35:23.600
So he doesn't really know you, then, is what you're saying.
00:35:26.200
You can get far as a corny grifter with nothing interesting to say.
00:35:29.260
I talked to Jeff, and he was, like, do I know you from somewhere?
00:35:33.300
And I'm, like, do you watch the Tower Game podcast?
00:35:40.100
My favorite clout moment was meeting Eric July.
00:35:44.240
And I was just, like, I've been scheduling with Eric for months to try and get him on the show.
00:35:48.920
He finally emailed back saying that he would confirm or that he was down and that we would set a date eventually.
00:35:53.740
So I met him, and I was, like, hey, man, you know, I'm Clint.
00:35:57.060
I've been trying to get you on my show for a while.
00:35:59.920
And he cuts me off, and he goes, Clint Russell, Liberty Lockdown.
00:36:02.140
And I was, like, motherfucker, this guy knows me.
00:36:05.040
And that was, like, that to me was the biggest moment of, like, validation because I look up to that guy so much.
00:36:14.500
I was also going to say, by the way, the coolest guy there is just, like, instant vibe.
00:36:20.300
Yeah, I only got to meet him, like, after the show.
00:36:22.500
I was, like, I have to, like, talk to Eric at least.
00:36:27.700
I don't know who took the picture, and I haven't seen it since.
00:36:30.060
But I talked to him, and he actually, he kind of knew, he knows, like, what Tower Gang is.
00:36:34.200
And he mentioned the Sell us your bathwater shoe tower.
00:36:41.540
So that's really an honor to meet that guy because, as mostly y'all probably know, backwards, his band is the reason I'm, like, a libertarian.
00:36:49.500
When I got to meet him, like, we were sitting there.
00:36:59.540
But we, and it was me, Joni, Reed, and James and his partner sitting there just at a couch, like, with, you know,
00:37:05.020
like, you know, hotel lobbies have the couches and chairs and shit with little tables in front of them.
00:37:08.560
We were just sitting there waiting for the events to start happening.
00:37:11.400
And Eric just walks by, and I'm like, yo, Eric, you have a second?
00:37:14.740
And I just told him, like, you know, I got to tell him that he's responsible for me.
00:37:20.720
You know, we didn't get a picture then because he was clearly on the way to the elite event thing.
00:37:24.060
But later on, we wound up getting a picture because he was hanging out outside in the hallway outside of the main thing happening.
00:37:32.340
I love the transition from Dave's wife and Liberty Thought and, like, Ashton, the whole harem, as it was described, like, at each other's throats.
00:37:46.040
And then 10 minutes later, I'm sitting in this circle smoking weed with, like, a bunch of autists watching Scott Horton just lay out, like, global policy.
00:38:01.020
I had all of those women coming to me and venting to me, and I would have to be like, I have nothing to say in the matter because anything I say will be taken out of context and used against me.
00:38:10.700
You seem cool, but, like, I don't want any part of your problems.
00:38:14.500
Well, that was the one good thing about my phone being dead, is that, like, Ashton couldn't be hitting me up for a reason.
00:38:24.380
Everyone who says Twitter is not a real place, I call bullshit because in that moment I was sitting next to Jose, and I saw Sarah screaming something, and then Ashton, and then, you know, like, all this stuff going on.
00:38:48.680
Like, I remember we were at the bar or the pool later, and, like, Liberty thought, like, was, like, freaking out, and I would just laugh at her and be like, should I do this?
00:38:57.380
Like, I literally said yes, screaming her and shit.
00:39:03.020
Like, the little redhead chick, I was like, you were way too drunk.
00:39:09.420
I'm just straight to the point and blunt and honest.
00:39:14.980
I'm gonna lay out the story because this is just...
00:39:19.020
So, before we go into this, my wife has apologized to Ashton, and they have made up.
00:39:23.900
So, everything that I tell you now, like, has been reconciled.
00:39:40.820
So, we're outside just chilling outside by the pool.
00:39:53.700
Around the table was, like, me, I think Jose, Toad, and Duke Chastain, and Elizabeth.
00:40:00.820
And then I look over, and I see Reed and Clint.
00:40:03.120
And I don't know who else you were sitting with.
00:40:09.460
Like, everybody that we're talking about was there.
00:40:11.100
And I was just like, oh, I want to go hang out with Clint and Reed.
00:40:13.900
And so, I go over there, and I'm hanging out, whatever.
00:40:16.240
And then, from what Duke has told me, like, Elizabeth was all fine.
00:40:29.340
And then my wife comes and sits down where Ashton was sitting at.
00:40:37.620
And so, when Ashton comes in, Elizabeth says something like, oh, were you sitting here?
00:41:03.520
And they had already been yipping at each other all night.
00:41:18.480
He just had to throw in that little subtle brag.
00:41:31.060
Are you going to do the hand gestures that were made?
00:41:36.880
So, Elizabeth looks at her and goes, I know you hate me.
00:42:13.160
And then someone else said I kept, like, tossing my phone on...
00:42:20.980
And at one point, I just started yelling, stop.
00:42:39.820
So my wife, who is perfect and never does anything wrong...
00:42:45.020
We get literally home straight, like, from yesterday.
00:43:00.120
Because Nick is a little more part of us because he's a traitor.
00:43:06.280
So it's not just a fucking blank wall behind me.
00:43:12.280
Or you for having me back on the show after I've traded you?
00:43:18.660
Cole now has a flag with all of us shirtless on us.
00:43:21.060
Jesus still loved Judas, even if he betrayed him.
00:43:46.020
You see how y'all just talked about dumb women drama for the past three and a half minutes?
00:43:56.980
Also, by the way, Ashton is saying in the chat, they haven't mentioned the makeout sesh, though.
00:44:07.880
There were a few things that weren't mentioned there, but I'm not going to tell you.
00:44:13.440
I don't think we've hit any super chats recently.
00:44:15.820
So, Meredith said, who got asked for more picks?
00:44:27.260
Pretty sure it was Unicorn Daddy got more picks than anybody.
00:44:38.640
Just because Cole has us shirtless on his wall there, I was going to call him a flagget for it.
00:44:47.320
Man, we went way too long without dressing super chats.
00:44:53.240
Since you complimented me before I got on the stream,
00:44:56.500
I actually thought, I mean, no hard feelings or whatever, but I kind of thought the same thing about you.
00:45:15.320
I was saying he was a little more autistic than I thought he would be.
00:45:18.500
But, yeah, like whenever we got there, dude, and like before I kind of settled in, I was like – my autism was like hitting the red line.
00:45:29.140
Then later on, once I – like once everything started to settle and I started to like become okay with the moment, you know, then it started to get better.
00:45:39.220
I have never been to a therapist, so I don't know if I've ever been to a therapist.
00:45:57.200
When I'm in crowds, I do like wander around aimlessly and bounce off the wall.
00:46:07.880
You've been talking all night about – I don't know who you are, dude.
00:46:10.740
But – so on like Sunday – no, I guess it was Monday morning or like during the day, Elizabeth –
00:46:22.360
She was like, I think Nick is actually seriously autistic because when he left our group like that morning, he was like, I'm going to go get something caffeinated and a carbonated beverage.
00:46:37.600
She said anticarbonated beverage or carbonated refreshment.
00:46:40.980
No, I said I'm going to get something caffeinated and some water because that's what I went and did.
00:46:54.800
When you try to deny – and this goes for anybody.
00:46:57.860
When you try to deny your own autism, it's kind of like trying to deny your own racism.
00:47:05.260
I'm just saying that's not what the fuck I said, which is the autism right here.
00:47:12.980
And like me and Toad's – I don't know if I mentioned already, but me and Toad had that comment when someone was mad at us about like saying the N-word on Tower of Power Hour.
00:47:19.780
And like I legit almost immediately was like, well, I have a black friend.
00:47:29.260
I've had the same experience where Jose was just like, but I know black words who do use the hard R.
00:47:35.840
Like I've been a blue-collar worker my whole life and interacted with plenty of black people.
00:47:40.800
Like maybe not regularly, but, you know, for comedic effect, they have no issue with it.
00:47:47.160
Tyler Jenke said, living vicariously through all of you this weekend, where is the Tower of Power Hour 100-episode event?
00:47:53.100
I was like – I thought that was ridiculous at first, but now realizing we're only at episode 40 and at the growth we've had, if this disdains, it's not that ridiculous.
00:48:03.540
It'll have to be after our Joe Rogan appearance and everything.
00:48:11.940
O'Donnell says, I think Eric hated me a couple years ago because of Porkfest.
00:48:27.920
They're not a very good band with their new singer right now.
00:48:30.100
By the way, guys, I just want to point out, Justin O'Donnell used to never listen to podcasts, but he's watched, like, almost every single one of these episodes since he –
00:48:46.380
This new singer they got, they became a corporate metal band.
00:49:07.640
Yeah, but since Clint said it first, should we tell the backstory about Clint with that joke?
00:49:15.700
I had to explain what Black Hawk Down meant with Colin Powell dying, so.
00:49:21.980
I did not get it either when I first saw it, but I didn't say it.
00:49:25.440
I just thought about it for a long – it took me a couple minutes, and I was like, oh, okay.
00:49:37.260
I don't know if he was the first one to say it, but fuck that.
00:49:44.820
I thought he was like – like, you know how some Italians look like that?
00:49:47.960
I didn't know what he was, but I didn't know he was Black.
00:49:54.420
You ever see – Dan Bongino looks like he could be Black.
00:50:01.000
Well, I mean, he's Italian, so he is Black, but not Black in the sense that we kind of know.
00:50:06.840
Okay, so Leave With Me Alone also said Tom Woods confronting the drunk guy after the show was pretty funny too.
00:50:12.240
So, because you were the only person in here that actually watched the whole show.
00:50:17.240
Did he say how classless it was for Michael to berate that guy going through a mental health crisis?
00:50:22.980
Can you believe that so many people like Unicorn Daddy were not dressed up very nice for this very nice event?
00:50:30.580
And then he – and that Liberty Thought twerked on him?
00:50:36.760
No, I – this isn't – this is actually interesting because I would imagine based off –
00:50:41.920
I would imagine based off of Nick's critique of our talking about women earlier, he may also be one of the people that does not like Liberty Thought twerking on Unicorn Daddy.
00:50:55.500
This is like the most confrontational episode we've had in a long time.
00:50:59.420
He just doesn't want to be swedged between them while they do it.
00:51:02.040
I was arguing with the guy who was pitching about that stuff yesterday on – or day before.
00:51:08.480
I was like – it's like there were two people that I saw, one of the guys who's actually a homie.
00:51:12.960
I don't know his handle, but his name on Twitter is Indiana Paleo.
00:51:16.720
I think it's like BK Harnish or something like that.
00:51:22.780
He said something about these unelectable children.
00:51:25.040
And I was like, first of all, like we know damn well that Republicans participate in the most debaucherous activities up to and including pedophilia.
00:51:37.320
So don't trash fucking – you've done it like four times.
00:51:40.340
You've got to not – like don't trash these people who are having a party and they're actually drinking and partying at a party.
00:51:45.860
It's not like it was some official party event, like LP event, I mean.
00:51:49.640
It was just a fucking celebration of Tom Woods.
00:51:51.920
And then this other guy was talking about – also, neither of those two people are fucking running for office.
00:51:58.320
No, and they're very – they're very open on Twitter that they like show their ass.
00:52:06.540
I'm – do you guys have the same issue where you guys' phone autocorrects a goop to spook?
00:52:17.780
Mine has always liked to kike, so I can never –
00:52:34.820
Because since Top is Mexican, I thought the Top was the mule himself.
00:52:48.680
You know those like annoying bugs that crawl into your shins?
00:52:52.100
Remember how we used to be allowed to call them chiggers, but now we have to call them chiggers?
00:53:08.480
Dude, some of the best part was whenever I saw Top and I was just like, holy shit, it's Top Lobster.
00:53:15.540
He was probably one of the ones I was the most excited to meet.
00:53:22.280
I met Josh when we were at Disney World and with his 18,000 kids and his –
00:53:28.280
and he was rolling in the dough that he made from everybody giving him money.
00:53:31.120
By the way, I do not think Josh is 6'3", because –
00:53:41.180
I'm 6'3", and I'm a couple inches taller than him.
00:53:49.520
If he would stand up straight, maybe he is like 6'8".
00:53:57.400
I was like, oh, boy, I'm looking at you dead eyes.
00:54:13.340
because he's always talking about how he's 6'2", 6'3".
00:54:16.260
And I am taller than Cole, like, by comparison.
00:54:18.600
I can tell from that picture that he wasn't as tall as he is.
00:54:38.640
Half of the motherfuckers I meet, like, that know who I am.
00:54:42.600
Gee, I wonder why you should have been prepared.
00:54:55.320
I mean, you know, only some of us have actually seen that.
00:55:45.840
that made me look as retarded as you did with Josh,
00:56:24.780
And then he talks to me for, like, two minutes,
00:56:38.060
because all of our interactions on Twitter are like...
00:57:07.540
So, Cole, tell us why you looked retarded and weren't.
00:57:28.960
because I was literally trying to make myself taller,
00:57:33.680
I don't know, I guess I, like, pulled back some,
00:57:36.060
and it just made me look like a fucking double chin.
00:57:39.560
It looked like I was, like, his retarded, like, child
00:57:44.440
that he brought to Disney World for the first time.
00:57:50.800
Yeah, it was 100% a make a wish is what it looked like.
00:57:54.120
It looked like a kid that was going to drop dead
00:58:10.980
I had the fucking knockoff, like, Star Wars shirt on, too.
00:58:36.260
or any, like, any person who was there attending
