Show Summary: Canadian artist Victor Pross joins Johnny and Raylene to discuss art and culture! Victor understands better than anyone the need for art in libertarianism and life in general. He is an anarchist and pulls no punches when it comes to criticizing the state, and he uses his caricatures to make people laugh at politicians. According to Victor, you can't revere someone when you're laughing at them, so all the more reason to continue laughing at our dear leaders! You can hear more at SupportBlastOff.com on our Patreon!
