Welcome, listener, to the 234th premium chapter of the QAA podcast, the Tuttle Twins episode.
As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rakitansky, Liv Aker, Julian Fields, 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 Tunnel 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 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.
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.
Oh.
And married.
[LAUGHTER]
And married.
Come on.
With two kids.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, 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 and inviting that they experience the same thing.
What do you think?
I think that's statistically impossible.
Yeah.
That can't be how that works.
Yeah.
Can you imagine an existence where you, like, you know, 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, OK, well, he spoke for most of it about the Fed.
Let's never do this again.
He asked us how old our daughter was.
Yeah, the weirdest part was after they brought out the piece, he forced me to open my phone and download Coinbase.
I don't even know what that is.
A second tweet.
Yep.
So, good stuff.
We love whatever's going on in Utah.
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
for uh you know just in case uh just in case I go away uh I think you and Shirley would
be a great match."
Yeah.
So, yeah, so basically, so yeah, my wife is fantasizing about dying and me moving on.
That's weird, right?
My wife, uh, you know, she, my wife, uh, fantasizing about dying so that, uh, I can marry, uh, the neighbor.
Uh, 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 Boyack'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 our rights are, or the definition of true laws.
Back before you were born, schools often taught the principles of a free society.
But not anymore.
That's why our parents have us read The Tidal 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, 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?
Also, like, even in Canada, like you're being taught things that are pretty close to that.
Like, yeah, 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.
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.
So it's just good company.
So here is Conor Boyack introducing himself.
Hi, my name is Conor Boyack.
I am a husband, a father of two, president of a freedom fighting organization.
I'm a beekeeper, a lover of ska music.
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 an 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 Tones.
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, Libertas 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 role 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 things that like adult libertarians are reading.
Because it's like a children's understanding of how the world works by itself.
