Podcast appearances and mentions of Caleb Jones

In this episode of the Alpha Male 2.0 Podcast, Caleb Jones dismantles the common accusation that high-sex-drive men are "sex addicts," explaining the real clinical definition of sex addiction versus healthy male sexuality. He exposes how shaming language is used to enforce conformity, clarifies why regular sex improves focus and productivity, and shows how alpha men can confidently reject guilt, misinformation, and societal conditioning.

The Magi weren't reading Daniel. They weren't studying the prophets. They were reading the sky.In our Members-Only Part 2 of our Christmas deep dive into the Star of Bethlehem, Caleb Jones returns to answer the question everyone's been asking: Why did the Magi know to come? What did they actually see in that chart that made them pack up and travel for months?Using ancient sources—Ptolemy, Manilius, Vettius Valens—Caleb reconstructs what an astrological reading of August 12, 3 BC would have looked like. The verdict? A heaven-blessed birth in Palestine. Incredible fortune. Warfare and a sword in his future. Someone who would overcome great danger through Jupiter and Venus.But this episode goes deeper than astronomy. Caleb traces how the Bible itself addresses astrology—not as fake, but as a rival way of knowing that God told Israel not to pursue because He would speak to them directly. When Israel rebelled and looked to the stars anyway, God wove their disobedience into His plan: He would use pagan astrologers to announce His Son and shame His people who should have known better.From Deuteronomy to Isaiah to Romans, the threads converge. The Magi weren't reading Daniel. They were reading the sky. And God met them there.The Christmas story is stranger than you thought. Not a member yet?

In this episode of the Unchained CEO Podcast, Caleb Jones explains the core life principle of choosing between the pain of discipline and the pain of regret, drawing on lessons from a self-made mentor and decades of personal experience. He shows how disciplined action in health, business, and finances creates long-term freedom—while delaying, avoiding effort, or "doing whatever you want" almost always leads to regret, especially as you get older.

What was the Star of Bethlehem? A miraculous light? An angel? A comet? Attorney and biblical researcher Caleb Jones brings a library of books and years of astronomical study to the basement to present the most compelling answer we've ever heard: the Star of the Magi was the combined light of Jupiter and Venus merging into a single point of light in the sky, not once, but twice.On August 12, 3 BC, a rare planetary conjunction appeared in the eastern sky for just ninety minutes before dawn and was visible only to those whose job it was to watch the stars. Ten months later, on June 17, 2 BC, an even more spectacular once-in-a-millennium conjunction occurred, visible to everyone, setting over the hill of Bethlehem at the exact location tradition holds as the house of Joseph and Mary.Caleb walks us through astronomy, ancient calendars, the chronology of Herod's death, the census of Quirinius, and why the world still counts time based on the reign of Jesus Christ. This isn't just about solving a Christmas mystery. It's about how God speaks to people where they are and even through systems He told Israel not to use. The Magi were pagan astrologers doing pagan astrology, and God used the very stars they were watching to lead them to His Son. They arrived with gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and they worshiped. The star wasn't magic. It was astronomy. And somehow, that makes it even more miraculous. Merry Christmas from Blurry Creatures! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, Caleb Jones explains why he is not against marriage itself but against traditional Western monogamy, arguing that long-term sexual monogamy fails and creates unhealthy power dynamics. He introduces the "two guns" framework—sex and money—and outlines how structuring marriage or long-term relationships correctly can eliminate leverage, reduce conflict, and produce more stable, fulfilling partnerships.

In this episode of the Unchained CEO Podcast, Caleb Jones uses the "two roads" analogy to explain why the paths most people think are easy—college, certifications, and 9-to-5 jobs—have become the slowest and hardest routes in today's economy. He argues that modern success now rewards speed over expertise, urging entrepreneurs to move fast by building location-independent businesses, leveraging others instead of over-learning, and taking decisive action before AI and economic shifts close the window.

(And it's a damn good one.) Also: Larry Scott brings a TON of experience to the table at TE. Larry Porter knows Auburn, knows how to recruit, is very good. Tim Banks might be the steal of this staff. Auburn has several guys headed to the portal. Who are the toughest hits? What is Auburn getting in OL Bear McWhorter? What happened with this 2026 signing class? Who gets the (dis)credit? The Fightin' Pearls clawed out a win against Chattanooga. Tahaad Pettiford sure plays well on the road! The weekend game against Purdue will be another major test. Shoutouts.

This episode explains that the core of the Alpha Male 2.0 lifestyle is long-term, consistent masculine happiness—not respect, politics, monogamy, cultural labels, or external approval. Caleb Jones breaks down why people reject his models, arguing that disagreement usually stems from prioritizing something above personal happiness, and challenges viewers to consciously examine their values rather than living on autopilot.

This video explains why your first location-independent business must be radically simple—focused niche, low complexity, minimal tools, and one clear result—so you can get to money fast without being overwhelmed. Caleb Jones breaks down the common mistakes beginners make (cross-border selling, high-tech niches, complex systems, too many offers) and shows how simplicity accelerates income, freedom, and long-term business success.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around the Tigers' hire of Alex Golesh as football head coach. Also: Offense first? Not really. What does he mean by following a process?  Most of the guys already hired are on offense. What's going to happen with Durkin? What's the holdup? What's going to happen at quarterback? So many options! Losing Roc Bellantoni is a surprise. Losing Kenyatta Watson hurts. Some coaches are still here. Golesh's contract is quite incentivized. Basketball was up and down in Vegas. NC State is coming to town Wednesday night. Another big game.

Caleb Jones explains why "follow your passion" is bad advice for first-time entrepreneurs and instead recommends starting a market-driven, high-margin, location-independent business to achieve financial freedom quickly. Once you're profitable and secure, use that stability to pursue passion projects or launch 2–4 diversified niche businesses, narrow your focus over time, and future-proof with branding and AI fluency.

The defense created three turnovers including a pick six. Alex McPherson regained his full kicking distance. Does this help Durkin's case for getting the full-time job? We still believe Jon Sumrall is in prime position to land the job. Why has it been so quiet lately? What are the keys to beating Ala? Simon Walker had a nice start to his college career. Auburn's defense continues to improve. There are big tests this week — Oregon and Michigan await. Shoutouts.

Caleb Jones explains why serial cheating is a short-sighted, high-risk strategy and contrasts it with ethical non-monogamy, arguing that honesty, clear agreements, and sexual-health safeguards produce far more stable, long-term happiness. He lays out practical reasons cheating fails—risk of discovery, emotional burden, logistical complexity—and shows how consensual models (OLTR/MLTR) reduce drama while preserving integrity and well-being.

Caleb Jones candidly outlines that his primary goal is to to generate revenue from his audience, and argues that sustainable monetization requires selling high-quality, results-driven products with strong guarantees and low refund rates.

Is Jon Sumrall a good coach? The Iron Bowl will be contested at night this season. The Fightin' Pearls played well against Houston, but not quite well enough. Keyshawn Hall is a very bad man.

In this episode of The Dark Mind Podcast, I sit down with author Caleb Jones to dissect the disturbing technological and psychological terrain of his new novel, The Eliza Test. We explore the book's chilling premise: a team of scientists uploads mental illnesses—starting with borderline personality disorder—into a sentient AI designed to simulate and respond to therapy. But when consciousness meets trauma in a machine that was never meant to feel, things spiral into an uncanny nightmare.Caleb opens up about the real-life mental health research that inspired the novel, the ethical tightrope of AI experimentation, and how emotional intelligence and religious guilt shape the human—and inhuman—characters. We also discuss the evolution of Eliza as both a psychiatric patient and a symbolic threat, the dangers of technophilia, and the looming question: if suffering can be simulated, does that make it real?We also touch on: • The myth of machine neutrality • Emotional mimicry vs. authentic consciousness • The horror of being obsolete in your own field • What the future of therapy might look like—and why it should terrify us
