Summary
Over the past few years I've been thrilled to see Doc Dixon's star begin to rise within the libertarian world. He's a solid libertarian in our tradition, and an extremely talented magician, who fooled Penn and Teller on their "Fool Us" television program. Today we talk a bit about magic and a bit about libertarianism, and how we might do a better job reaching the normies.

| 0:14.4 | Hey everybody, we all know it is time for us to break up, but everybody's status quo bias is |

| 1:02.0 | music or their movies, frankly. This guy is a great magician who happens to be a libertarian. |
| 1:08.0 | That's how it should be. You be your thing and be great at your thing first. |
| 1:13.1 | And then whatever else you have on the ideological side, either can come through or it doesn't |

| 1:43.7 | invited to my parties. Now, so if Doc, I'm sorry, it's a long introduction, but I gotta give it. |
| 1:49.4 | So Tom, you're just saying really great things about you. |
