In this episode of If By Whiskey, Jason and Mark crack open the chaos of the recent mind-bending conversation between Dr. Jordan Peterson and Dilbert creator Scott Adams. What starts as a polite back-and-forth about politics, perception, and persuasion quickly spirals into a cosmic cocktail of simulation theory, Trumpism, and the weaponization of narrative.

We break down the big ideas—what’s real, what’s hypnotic, and what’s just Scott Adams having a moment—and debate whether Peterson is the last philosopher standing or just trying to make sense of a world that’s gone full Black Mirror. It's part therapy session, part libertarian group chat, and all weirdly compelling.

Pour a stiff one—this episode’s a rabbit hole with no bottom.

Pour yourself something strong, because this episode of If By Whiskey might get you canceled just for listening. Jason and Mark welcome the brilliantly unfiltered Dr. Stanley K. Ridgley, author of "DEI Exposed: How the Biggest Con of the Century Almost Toppled Higher Education", to take a flamethrower to the bureaucratic buzzwords taking over universities and HR departments everywhere.

We’re talking about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—aka the Holy Trinity of Virtue Signaling—and Dr. Ridgley’s here to reveal what’s really going on behind those glossy training videos and awkward corporate retreats. From Marxist roots to modern madness, we break down how DEI became a billion-dollar industry built on guilt, jargon, and PowerPoint slides.

It’s sharp, it’s funny, and it might just make you rethink your next company townhall. Buckle up—and sip accordingly.

In this post-Independence Day episode of If By Whiskey, Jason & Mark raise a glass to the 4th of July—and cast their eyes toward America’s upcoming 250th birthday. What does Liberty really mean in 2025? How did the Founders enshrine it in the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights? And perhaps the most pressing question of all: is America still holding up its end of the deal?

With a mix of historical insight, philosophical musing, and a splash of whiskey-fueled honesty, Jason & Mark unpack the meaning of freedom—both as it was intended and as it's being practiced. From natural rights theory to modern overreach, join the conversation that’s as patriotic as it is provocative.

Because if by whiskey you mean liberty... we’re pouring another round.

Part 2: In this episode of If By Whiskey, Jason and Mark pour a stiff one and dive headfirst into the high-stakes intellectual rumble between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris, recorded on June 6th, 2025. The conversation at hand? Nothing short of the collapse of collective truth.

Peterson and Harris confront the disintegration of trust in our institutions, the weaponization of information, and the chaos unleashed by digital platforms that now shape — and often shatter — our shared sense of reality. Harris sounds the alarm on the rise of independent media and misinformation in a post-October 7th world, while Peterson wrestles with the philosophical roots of identity, authority, and meaning in an age where deepfakes can rewrite your past in seconds.

Jason and Mark break it all down with their signature blend of sharp analysis, dry wit, and a touch of irreverence — from the psychological effects of algorithm-driven platforms like X, to the eerie frontier of AI-induced identity theft, to the bigger question: Can we rebuild institutional trust without losing our individual agency?

Pour a glass, take a seat, and prepare for a sobering conversation about truth, technology, and the digital ghosts we’ve unleashed.

In this mind-bending episode of If By Whiskey, hosts Jason and Mark sit down with the legendary Howard Bloom—scientific thinker, cultural critic, and author of the provocative new book The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong.

Buckle up as we explore Bloom’s radical thesis: that nature isn’t driven by brute competition and survival of the fittest, but by an ancient, erotic yearning for connection, creativity, and beauty. From the sex lives of bacteria to the cosmic dance of galaxies, Bloom pulls back the curtain on a universe where desire, not destruction, is the engine of evolution.

It’s a conversation that challenges Darwin, defies conventional science, and may just change the way you see life itself.

Pour a glass, light a cigar, and prepare to have your paradigm shaken.

Warning: May cause spontaneous awe and cosmic vertigo.
