Ever wanted to say that laws don't apply to you? Well there are people who attempt to do just that - they are called Sovereign Citizens and we talk about them here. We give advice on how not to be pulled from your car if you are a Sovereign Citizen. We also talk about Libertarianism and our own experiences with the Police. Bryan also tells cops not to be dicks, so now there is no Police Misconduct anywhere. You're welcome! We are not lawyers.
The Drink:
The Nut Job:
2 oz Bourbon
1 oz Frangelico
1 oz of Bailey's Irish Cream

After nerding-out on Star Wars and Tolkien we take a turn to Politics with our episode on Richard M. Nixon. Yeah, the Orange Man is ridiculed as well, but this is more about the effect Nixon had on the US in the short and long term. Buckle up for some knowledge. We also give a nod to the dear-departed Norm MacDonald.
The Drink:
Nixon's Little Man:
Equal Parts Gin, Limoncello, Grand Marnier

Correction:
Hunter S. Thompson did not say that, "Eventually someone will make Nixon a Liberal", it was Johnny Depp as Paul Kemp who said that (paraphrased) in The Rum Diary.

If there is anything we can be called fanbois about, it's Tolkien. It's funny how when we were younger, we'd be bullied because we read these books. Now we'll probably get bullied by Tolkien fans because we probably got a lot of things wrong. Kick back and light up some Pipe-weed and enjoy the show!
