What's up QAA listeners?
The fun games have begun.
I found a way to connect to the internet.
I'm sorry, boy.
Welcome listener to the 234th premium chapter of the QAA podcast,
The Tuttle Twins episode.
As always, we are your host, Jake Rockatansky.
Liv Egar, Julian Field, and Travis View.
What's up, fellow.
libertarian children.
Are you ready to have some fun and learn some things along the way?
Because today we're going to be exploring the Tuttle Twins, a kids' book series turned
cartoon that's chock full of right-wing gripes and propaganda.
So, kids, are you ready to learn why Bitcoin good and Karl Marx bad?
Wow, you guys sound younger than I remember.
The Tunnel Twins book series was launched in 10.
2014 by a Mormon man from Utah named Connor Boyack.
Of course he's from Utah.
And of course he's a Connor.
And of course he looks like a toe.
Three years before that in 2011, he founded the Libertas Institute, a non-profit think tank
educational organization that promises to free individuals from the tyranny of an over-controlling
government.
My favorite thing they do is an event called the Children's Entrepreneur Market for kids
between the age of 5 and 16, at which, quote,
parents are welcome but are strongly encouraged to stand back
and let the children deliver their pitch and close the sale.
Always be closing, kids.
God, could you imagine how over it would be for you?
If your kid, your parent takes you to this at like 5.
Go sell something, kid.
I'd probably be so much better with money.
That's true, actually.
I want Connor to be my daddy.
Now, the running joke online is that libertarians cannot help themselves.
They always end up debating the age of consent.
That's a pretty cruel generalization, or so I thought before I googled Connor Boyack Age of Consent and found a podcast episode he co-hosted in 2018 titled, What is an appropriate age of consent?
God damn it.
Is it okay for, for example, two 15-year-olds to engage in sexual relations?
Okay, if that's okay, then is it okay for a 15 and a 35-year-old?
You know, like, if they can consent, then can they truly consent?
These are really tricky questions, and I can see why a lot of people have been tempted to increase that age.
Oh, my God.
Where are the people crying about groomers on these people?
I mean, this is literally someone who's talking hypothetical situations about sleeping with a 15-year-old as a 35-year-old making educational materials for children.
When he recorded this in 2018, Connor was 36 years old.
And married with two kids.
They fucking rule.
He has some pretty amazing tweets about his marriage, I have to say, so I thought we'd read a couple.
He says, over the past decade, my wife and I have had scores of families over for dinner.
Maybe 2% of them reciprocated.
That means 50 couples you have over.
And one of them invites you back.
Oh, man.
For a while, I thought it was something about us.
It is.
But then I heard from others who are outgoing, inviting that they experience the same thing.
What do you think?
I think that's statistically impossible.
Yeah.
But they can't be how that works.
Yeah.
Can you imagine an existence where you invite somebody over for supper and they stay and they're out the door and you close the door behind them and you turn to your wife and you go, all right, well, let's see.
let's see let's see if we get invited back for supper i imagine the couple leaving and being like
okay well he spoke for most of it about the fed uh let's never do this again he asked us how old
our daughter was yeah i the weirdest part was after they brought out the peas he forced me to
open my phone and download coin base i don't even know what that is a second tweet my wife already has
someone in mind for who I should consider
marrying in case she, my wife,
happens to pass away. That's
weird, right? Crying face emoji.
Yep. So, good
stuff. We love whatever's
going on in Utah. It's
good and we love it, folks.
Also, maybe you should look
inward if your wife is casually
bringing up like, oh yeah,
you know, just in case, just in
case I go away. I think
you and Shirley would be
a great match. Yeah.
Yeah, so basically, so yeah, my wife is fantasizing about dying and being moving on.
That's weird, right?
My wife, you know, she, my wife, fantasizing about dying so that I can marry the neighbor.
She keeps saying, you're going to be fine.
You're going to be just fine.
Anyways, we are here to talk about the Tuttle Twins.
So I went to Boyack's website, and the first thing I was greeted,
by was large text asking, are your kids being brainwashed? And a video of Boyak's two children
promoting his book.
Hey parents, kids like us have a problem. And it's one that you can help solve. But most
parents aren't even aware the problem exists. Here's the issue. Most schools today aren't
teaching young kids some really important concepts, like how the economy works or what a rights are
or the definition of true laws. Back before you were born, schools often taught the principles of
free society. But not anymore. That's why our parents have us read The Tiled Twins.
These books teach children about economic and civic truths that we need to learn,
and there's nothing else like them in the world.
Each book covers a different topic, helping us learn how the world really works.
For example, these books teach kids things like how the free market is the key to prosperity,
the history of the money we use, what our rights are, and why we should protect them,
How kids can be entrepreneurs, I definitely want to be my own boss someday, and these books will help.
Kids like us absolutely love these books, maybe because they don't treat us like little children.
That's so rough.
But then who are the little children?
There's no little children then?
Like what?
If the little children aren't treated as little children, then what do we even have?
Are little children just like the government invented that concept?
I feel like even in Canada, like you're being.
taught things that are pretty close to that.
Like, public curriculum, it's not like
capitalism is bad. And Karl Marx
is actually based. I mean, these
kids are fucking homeschooled. So
what the fuck would you know about the goddamn school
system? You just fucking turn on the TV
and have people complaining about it and you just
assume, yep, that's clearly what's going on there.
I guess it's just a, you know,
a critical race theory all day long.
The book series has released
13 volumes so far. The latest
being titled The Tunnel Twins
and the Twelve Rules Boot Camp, in which
The Twins teach their Uncle Brock about the 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson.
It's just good company.
So here is Connor Boyack introducing himself.
Hi, my name's Connor Boyack.
I'm a husband, a father of two, president of a freedom fighting organization.
I'm a beekeeper, a lover of ska music.
Jesus fucking Christ.
I'm so sorry to ska lovers out there.
But that cracked me up so much.
A lover of ska music?
And beekeeper.
Yeah.
And a part of a unnamed freedom group.
Well, it's the Libertas thing, you know.
And they mostly, they're kind of all over the place.
I mean, they do a bunch of really annoying libertarian stuff.
And then they'll do the, like, small good percent of libertarian stuff.
Like, you know, you shouldn't arrest people for possession of pot or whatever.
Right.
And you should listen to Mighty Mighty Boss Stones.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We need to replace the National Anthem with a skanking version of it.
In this introductory video, Connor explains how he came up with the idea for the Tuttle Twins.
And I'm also the author of the popular Tuttle Twins books.
The free market think tank that I founded, Libertus Institute, changes laws dealing with property rights, free markets, education, freedom, and much more.
A few years ago, when my kids were still pretty young, they would ask me what I did that day for work.
And I struggled to know how to talk to them about those types of ideas.
I began to think, you know, how do you teach children about things like the proper rule of government?
or economics.
So like many parents, I turned to Amazon
hoping to find a book
that would help me teach my kids
about the principles of freedom
and I couldn't find anything.
The lack of resources
was actually pretty surprising
and frustrating.
It made me realize
that there was a huge need
for this type of material.
They don't need resources
because they can just read
the things that like
adult libertarians are reading
because it's like a children's understanding
of how the world works
itself.
