What do you get when you mix three guys, microphones, and just enough self-awareness to be dangerous? Probably cheaper than actual therapy — and way more entertaining.

Mark of Knocked Conscious welcomes Brent Freeman (@bgetsbetter on X) of the Aiming Up Podcast and Tyler Todt (@tyromper on X) for a laid-back, occasionally insightful, and possibly irresponsible conversation about men’s health. From lifting heavy things to lifting emotional baggage, the guys tackle physical health, mental health, and the mysterious art of pretending we’re all doing fine.

No couches. No co-pays. Just laughs, honesty, and three dudes trying to figure it out in real time. 🥃🧠💪

Mark and Jake pour a stiff one and welcome the one and only Suzanne Sherman — aka @CowgirlEsq — constitutional attorney, rancher, and author of FEDERALISM: How Decentralization Can Save America.

Yes, you read that right. She can quote the Constitution, argue the 10th Amendment, and probably outshoot you before breakfast.

This week on If By Whiskey, we ask the dangerous question: What if the solution to America’s problems isn’t more Washington… but less? Suzanne makes the case that decentralization isn’t radical — it’s original recipe. From federal overreach to state sovereignty, from bureaucratic bloat to local control, we explore whether giving power back to the states might actually lower everyone’s blood pressure (no promises).

Expect:

Is federalism the escape hatch? Is decentralization the peaceful rebellion? Or do Mark and Jake just like saying “enumerated powers” after two pours?

Saddle up. It’s going to be a fun one.

Jake and Mark are back behind the microphones (and possibly behind a few glasses), and this time they’re joined by the always thoughtful Brent Freeman of Aiming Up and the sharp-tongued Rob Yates of The Libertarian Parry for a conversation that starts with fireworks and ends somewhere in the astral plane.

We’re diving headfirst into the now-infamous Tuck vs. Huck interview — the takes, the tension, the “did-he-really-just-say-that” moments — and breaking it down the only way If By Whiskey can: with wit, side-eyes, and at least one historical analogy that probably goes too far.

But because this is If By Whiskey, there’s a strong chance we’ll veer from political sparring into consciousness, reality, and whether we’re all just NPCs in someone else’s campaign strategy. Expect sharp analysis, unexpected metaphysics, and the kind of banter that makes you question both the media narrative and your own existence.

It’s politics. It’s philosophy. It’s probably a bad idea.

No filters. No script. No sacred cows.

Mark sits down with Kristan T. Harris of The Rundown Live for a conversation that kicks the hive and laughs while it buzzes. Media narratives, inconvenient questions, internet rabbit holes, and the stories polite society pretends not to hear — it’s all on the table.

Expect sharp takes, dark humor, and the kind of back-and-forth that makes you say, “They really just went there.” This isn’t safe, sanitized podcasting — it’s raw, curious, and unapologetically awake.

If you like your conversations unfiltered, your ideas challenged, and your comedy slightly dangerous, welcome to Knocked Conscious.

Pour a glass, brace your worldview, and maybe hide your foreign policy takes under the table — because this episode of If By Whiskey gets a masterclass in history, war, and why everything is way more complicated than your favorite talking head told you.

Jake and Mark welcome the legendary Scott Horton — host, researcher, war-history deep diver, and walking encyclopedia of U.S. foreign policy — for a conversation that swings from serious geopolitical insight to the kind of laughs that only happen when heavy topics meet good whiskey and sharp wit. Representing the Libertarian Institute, Scott brings receipts, context, and enough historical knowledge to make your high-school textbooks feel personally attacked.

We talk about the ideas behind books like Provoked and Enough Already, dive into the chaos of modern foreign policy, and somehow still manage to laugh through the existential dread. Along the way: myths get busted, narratives get questioned, and Jake and Mark try (with varying success) to keep up.

Also in the mix — the mission behind the Scott Horton Academy, what it takes to actually understand history instead of just arguing about it online, and why nuance is both essential and wildly unpopular.

Expect:

If you came for laughs, you’re covered. If you came to learn something, buckle up. If you came for chaos… well, you found the right podcast.

Jake and Mark welcome Free (@SmarterGameShow on X) — the man brave enough to ask America’s elected officials the most dangerous question of all: basic knowledge.

As the host of “Are You Smarter Than A Politician?”, Free spends his days discovering just how low the bar can go… and then filming it. This episode is a free-flowing, whiskey-fueled romp through political absurdity, civic faceplants, unexpected moments of competence, and the eternal mystery of how some people passed eighth grade and got elected.

Expect laughs, light roasting, heavy pours, and at least one moment where you whisper, “Please tell me that clip was edited.”

Pour a drink. Lower your expectations. Press play. 🥃😄

This week on If By Whiskey, Jake and Mark pour a stiff one and welcome Dr. Miachel Rectenwald (@RecTheRegime on X)—author, philosopher, and professional buzzkill of establishment narratives. From woke academia to regime-approved “truth,” nothing escapes unscathed as Doc Rectenwald dissects modern insanity with scalpel-sharp logic and zero patience for nonsense. Expect big ideas, dangerous questions, a few raised eyebrows, and at least one moment where someone says, “Wait… are we allowed to say that?”

Pour the whiskey. Question everything. Proceed accordingly. 🥃

What happens when two Marks get knocked conscious at the same time? 🧠💥 You get a conversation that refuses to stay inside the box—white pill or otherwise. On this episode of Knocked Conscious, Mark welcomes Mark Maresca (@markmaresca3 on X), host of The White Pillbox Podcast, for a wide-ranging, mind-bending dive into the ideas, narratives, and uncomfortable truths shaping the modern moment. Expect big questions, skeptical laughs, unexpected optimism, and the kind of dialogue that makes you pause the episode just to stare at the wall for a minute. This isn’t doomscrolling. It’s not cope. It’s curiosity with teeth—and maybe a prescription for thinking a little more clearly in an upside-down world. Take the white pill. Or don’t. Either way, you’re about to get Knocked Conscious. 🎙️🧠 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up? Check out StreamYard and get $10 discount! 😍 https://streamyard.com/pal/d/5888413371072512

Jake and Mark crack the bottle and welcome Natali & Clayton Morris of Redacted News (@RedactedNews on X) for an episode that treats the mainstream narrative like a piñata—and swings hard.

From media sleight-of-hand and government “trust us” moments to war hype, economic panic, and the stories that mysteriously never make the evening news, nothing survives without getting side-eyed. Natali and Clayton bring the receipts, the scars, and the savagely calm delivery. Jake brings the whiskey. Mark brings the questions HR would strongly advise against.

No filters. No safe takes. Just sharp minds, dark humor, and a whole lot of “wait…why aren’t we allowed to talk about that?”
