I also share some personal stories about finding the right dentist and how geo-arbitrage can save you serious money while enjoying a little getaway.Then I dive into racism and Obama.

2w ago01:14:50Tap to summarizeI start this episode reflecting on the idea of soulmates and continue the discussion of Scott Adams’ book, Reframe Your Brain. I dive into how promises and compatibility shape relationships more than the elusive concept of a single soulmate, and how reframing fears, humor, and self-perception can enrich life. The conversation also touches on how meeting more people can increase your chances at love and how reframes can help manage the ups and downs of relationships.Then I cover the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting and the dramatic response of law enforcement on the scene. I also recap Brandon Gill’s powerful exchange with an abortion advocate during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing, where he exposed the stark realities behind abortion procedures.

Transcribe →False Prophets, Evil Dictators, Eric Swalwell, Trump v Pope, Household Net Worth
Apr 1700:46:16Tap to summarizeI start this episode diving into The False Prophet documentary, a 4-part Netflix series that exposes a self-proclaimed prophet. The show highlights how he was able to manipulate idiots who surrendered their wives and daughters to this creep. It's hard to believe. But worth a watch if you're into true crime and/or cult stories.Then I get into the Eric Swalwell saga & the Hungary election. Swalwell’s political collapse shows how quickly the pro-democracy party can coup you when one-party rule is threatened. The ruthlessness of communist politics and their propaganda arm in the media is unlike anything we've seen in the US, at least in my lifetime. Meanwhile, Hungary has voted out Viktor Orbán after 16 years, I talk about Budapest and how this election might impact the nation’s culture, borders, and relationships with the EU and beyond.Also, as usual, I share funny social media posts. And Trump’s beef with Pope Leo, the OpenAI lawsuit, communism, and much more.
Transcribe →NASA, Opioids, Ibogaine, Polymarket
Apr 900:36:59Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I talk about the Texas Ibogaine initiative featured on the Joe Rogan Experience. I share my own history using opioids, including the life-saving impact Ibogaine had on me. Rick Perry and Brian Hubbard’s advocacy has Texas leading the charge and I’ve never been more proud to be a Texan. They’ve secured $100 million in funding! Ibogaine is truly a miracle plant that can change lives.Then I cover the incredible survival story of the American airman shot down in Iran. After ejecting from his F-15, he hid in the mountains for over 24 hours, using his survival training to avoid capture until a massive US rescue operation brought him home. US Forces sent hundreds of troops, different decoys, and blew up their own aircraft to save him. That one story alone will likely boost enlistment. USA! USA! USA!I also touch on the 2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four & National Championship, autism and human evolution, NASA’s Artemis II mission, Trump’s Easter message, stock market performance, and much more.
Transcribe →Demons, Hoops, Kings, Woke Women
Apr 300:34:54Tap to summarizeI start this episode talking about March Madness, specifically the UConn vs. Duke game. Duke led 40-21 at one point, but late in the game, one of the Boozer boys made a critical mistake. It was the most boneheaded move since Chris Webber called a timeout he didn't have.Then I dive into the book I’m currently reading, Balls by Clay Travis. The book examines how identity politics & cancel culture have changed sports, starting with Bruce Jenner’s transsexualism ushering in an era where sports became more about politics & social issues than performance.I also share some YTD on the stock market, OJ Simpson, and what Nietzsch would say about woke women today. Finally, I discuss the No King thing, the feminization of men, and so much more.

Lake Charles is an ideal place to meet my Louisiana friends—I could see doing this for March Madness an annual thing.Then I get into visual acuity and its importance, especially for baseball players.
