Reed Coverdale
Host, Naturalist Capitalist
Reed Coverdale is a heavy haul truck driver, equipment operator, construction worker, avid outdoorsman, a free stater libertarian, and host of the Naturalist Capitalist podcast.
Naturalist Capitalist makes the case that the worst problems in the world are created by morons and manipulators claiming to try fix smaller problems with big government. Whether it's war in the Middle East to "protect democracy," pumping the economy full of trillions of dollars to "avoid recession," or locking us in our houses to "stop the spread," every "solution" is a disaster.
We need a more hands off approach, and to search for the truth, which lies somewhere between the official narrative and the intentional counter narrative we are presented with.
Whether in the marketplace or in the forest, nature rules.

Mack Carter
Comedian
Mack Carter is a recluse and a curmudgeon hailing from the backwoods of middle Georgia. He is admittedly but an amateur comedian, one who started out at the Shreveport Funny Bone in Louisiana--likely because they didn't know any better. Be advised, his humor is quite dark, riddled with profanity, and precious few find him even remotely entertaining. We were very much hoping to schedule enough acts this year so he could be removed from the line-up...yet here we are.
