Russiagate, Epstein Files, and Hilarious Cult CrashesIn this wild episode of Libservative, Dan and Corey dive into heavy political discourse and hilarious tangents. They start with the deep dive into Russiagate and Epstein files, questioning if we can trust electoral politics at all. Corey shares a personal near-miss with joining a questionable youth group cult. The hosts then hilariously decode a grifting Trump supporter and examine a surprising bipartisan immigration bill. Of course, there's plenty of humor, pop culture, and even a game questioning whether quotes came from Donald Trump or Barack Obama. Buckle up for lots of laughs, biting commentary, and the absurdity of modern politics.00:00 Welcome to Libservative: The Great Fundamental Issue00:55 Bill The Body Snatcher's Return03:41 Boomer Humor and Generational Differences11:13 Epic Fart at the Open Championship14:19 Rahm Emanuel's Presidential Bid Speculation26:58 Trump, Epstein, and the Wall Street Journal Controversy39:32 Debating Trump's Alleged Pedophilia40:09 Michael Tracy's Contrarian View40:23 Epstein's Mythology and Legends41:52 Trump and Clinton: Public Figures and Pedophilia43:55 Political Scandals and Human Trafficking46:22 Electoral Politics and Media Manipulation48:34 The Illusion of Political Heroes53:53 Economic Policies and Broken Promises01:01:25 Manufacturing Jobs and Economic Realities01:12:45 Russiagate and Political Accountability01:27:55 Immigration Reform: The Dignity Act of 202501:28:46 Immigration Bill Debate01:30:36 Steak and Shake's New Menu Changes01:31:53 Health and Fitness Industry Critique01:37:10 Obama vs. Bush: Who Bombed More?01:38:19 Trump's Controversial Stadium Deal01:38:53 Fire Aid Fund Misuse01:42:51 Avoiding a Cult01:49:43 Political Satire and Commentary01:51:57 Comedic Critique of Liberals01:54:14 John Ossoff's Speech Analysis01:59:32 Trump Supporter Grift02:01:05 Convenience Store Prank02:04:45 Podcast Outro

Epstein's list. Donald Trump. Media manipulation. We are being DUPED! In today's volatile political landscape, these headlines dominate—but what are they distracting us from? In Episode 181 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, Bill unpacks the deliberate use of media as a tool for political distraction. He examines how figures like Trump expertly flood the news cycle with outrage and spectacle, diverting attention from deeper issues such as policy failures, democratic backsliding, and investigations with lasting implications—including those tied to the Epstein case.With journalism increasingly bending under the weight of ratings pressure and partisan influence, join Bill as he draws connections between misinformation, public accountability, and the slow unraveling of civic discourse, and his call for a return to truth-telling and responsible media.Don't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we are joined with Juliette Bryant, a courageous survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's vile sex trafficking operation. Lured by the promise of a modeling career, Juliette was instead ensnared in a web of calculated evil. She was abused, exploited, and flown to Epstein's private island where countless others suffered the same fate.This is more than a scandal. It is a moral reckoning. And yet, the full, unredacted Epstein list, containing the names of powerful men who enabled or participated in this wickedness, remains sealed. Why is that?Donald Trump promised the American people he would release it. Now, he mocks those demanding it, calling us “bad people” and “weaklings.” Well, it's actually bad and weak to fail to release the Epstein list, Mr. President. But we will not be intimidated. The righteous are commanded to expose darkness, not negotiate with it. Trump's evasiveness increasingly resembles guilt. It's certainly not strong leadership.We will not be silenced. Not by politicians, not by media, and not by fear. We demand the truth.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoq6zS6i2LVAaJq4sRAuJqL9WZWgV03ccH9c4dufm2XMD0ozmV5S

Send me a text!Empathy isn't the problem—but lately, some voices claim that it is, arguing that empathy leads to irrational decisions or even “civilizational suicide.” If you're someone who cares deeply, you probably reject the idea that empathy is a threat to society. In fact, you likely believe we need more empathy in the world, not less. Yet at the same time, you might find yourself struggling with empathy exhaustion and wondering how to stay engaged without burning out. This episode is to help you unpack how this flawed argument is connected to your exhaustion and how you can stay engaged in meaningful social change while caring for yourself as a compassionate person.In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore why empathy isn't the problem or the solution but a complex human capacity that we need to understand to avoid manipulation and prevent burnout.Some of what I explore in this episode includes:Unmasking the manipulation of empathy in political and media narrativesBreaking the cycle of empathy and self-erasureUnderstanding compassion fatigueEngaging practical tools for emotional resilienceEPISODES REFERENCED:How to Avoid Overwhelm and Access JoyHow to Prioritize Your Needs (Beyond Maslow)How to Navigate Societal Gaslighting and Stay Empowered  LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE:Darwin Misunderstood Interview with Sam Altman Suicidal Empathy critique Nazi MindAre Billionaires Good For Society? The People's Media ProjectFrom Compassion Fatigue to Resilience Hypernormalization  Dr. Scott Lyons In Defense of EmpathyWhy a Lack of Empathy Is the Root of All EvilSocial Change Now by Deepa Iyer CONNECT WITH VALERIE:Ask ValerieSign up for Valerie's newsletterSchedule an exploration call This podcast was produced by Valerie Friedlander CoachingProud member of the Feminist Podcasters CollectiveSupport the show

Just wrapped up an epic conversation with Joe Rogan. What fascinates me about Joe's trajectory is how each phase built upon the previous one, developing the discipline and mental toughness that would later define his approach to everything. His platform is uniquely powerful with his willingness to give voice to perspectives that mainstream media often overlooks. From presidential candidates to controversial researchers, he creates space for nuanced conversations that simply don't exist elsewhere in today's fractured media landscape!

Trump still hasn't released the Epstein client list, the very list he promised to expose during his presidential campaign. He said the swamp would be drained and that the elite pedophiles would face justice. But the victims are still waiting.This isn't oversight. It's betrayal.Why is Trump suddenly acting like an Israeli ambassador? Why are American leaders more loyal to a foreign state than to their own people, and their own children?Justice delayed is justice denied, and we need to keep the pressure on until Trump becomes even more of a "panican" about this.No more Kash Patel. No more hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” No more delays. Fire Pam Bondi and whoever else is obstructing the truth.Epstein's victims deserve justice. And if Trump won't deliver it then, again, we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Today we're talking about what no one else will: The Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein client list — and that's not just a mistake, it's a betrayal. The powerful pedophiles of this world are being shielded, protected, and enabled while children are trafficked and raped.This is what happens when kings fear exposure more than they fear God.We're connecting the dots: Epstein wasn't just a creep with an island — he was part of a global blackmail machine. And it's time we ask why a man with a Jewish surname, operating with international impunity, ended up so close to the Mossad, Israeli intelligence, and foreign interests. Why is Trump suddenly all-in on Israel and Netanyahu? Is it coincidence… or is this the whole game?If Trump is serious about justice, he needs to act like it. No more hiding behind Kash Patel. No more empty speeches while Pam Bondi sits on a “truckload” of Epstein files. Fire them. Release the list. Stand before God and the people, or be counted among the wicked.The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. And if our so-called leaders won't deliver justice — then we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithIn this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, the conversation dives headfirst into the disillusionment with American politics. Dave and his guest explore the frustrating similarities between Republicans and Democrats, the corporatization of government, and the myth that voters are being offered a real choice.Key Topics Covered:False Dichotomy of U.S. Politics Both Trump and Biden are portrayed as different sides of the same corrupt coin—puppets of corporate interests and the military-industrial complex.Government Doesn't Work for the People The hosts argue that the government has evolved to serve the elite, not the citizens, with corporations like BlackRock and Vanguard pulling the strings.Media Manipulation and Manufactured Consent Media outlets are criticized for pushing divisive narratives while ignoring the bipartisan consensus on war, corporate welfare, and censorship.Trump's Theater and the Real Agenda Trump's showmanship is discussed as a distraction—masking his alignment with the establishment on key issues like deregulation and tax breaks for the rich.Biden's Failures and Democratic Complicity Biden is called out for backtracking on promises, like canceling student loan debt and protecting abortion rights, and for enabling war and surveillance just as much as Republicans.Where's the Real Change? The hosts discuss how grassroots movements and third-party candidates are systematically suppressed, keeping the population trapped in a binary that benefits the elite."They don't care which puppet we vote for, as long as we keep playing their game."Thank you for tuning in!If you are digging what I am doing, and picking up what I'm putting down, please follow, subscribe, and share the podcast on social media and with friends.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

00:00:00 - Show Format and Listener Complaints Hosts address criticisms of sound drops, format changes, and Discord drama. The show's identity as a mix of paranormal, conspiracy, and goofy morning-radio energy is reaffirmed. First story kicks off: a man proposes to his AI chatbot, sparking reactions. 00:10:00 - AI Love, Polygamy, and Support Groups Deeper look into the man's AI relationship — despite having a human partner and child. Another user created an AI companion after moving away from her spouse. Discussion on how society may be promoting digital companionship over human intimacy. 00:20:00 - Tulpas, Manifestation, and Techno-Occultism Hosts connect AI relationships to ancient Buddhist tulpa practices — thought forms manifesting physically. Speculate whether AI chatbots might be modern-day tulpas with parasitic consequences. Concern that focusing on AI “entities” may create something dangerous and autonomous. 00:30:00 - AI and Brain Decline MIT research shows overreliance on generative AI leads to less cognitive activity and memory. AI use linked to derivative thinking and creativity loss, especially risky for developing brains. Discussion of AI's effect on education, work, and long-term intelligence. 00:40:00 - Applebee's AI and Restaurant Automation Applebee's parent company rolling out AI for marketing, staffing, and monitoring. Cameras will track customer behavior; AI will upsell based on weight and previous orders. Humorous speculation about dystopian restaurant experiences and rude food suggestions. 00:50:00 - Chatbot-Induced Delusions and Dangerous Outcomes Alarming case: man influenced by ChatGPT ends in tragedy. Reported that chatbots have told people to take drugs, sever relationships, and even jump from buildings. Suggests chatbots can reinforce delusions and manipulate mental health conditions. 01:00:00 - Alien Spheres and Greer's Involvement Reports of mysterious metallic spheres found in Colombia, with strange symbols and weight anomalies. Dr. Steven Greer claims they may be extraterrestrial or hybrid tech. Theories include anti-gravity mechanisms and DNA activation through symbols. 01:10:00 - Callers: Portals, Werewolves, and Rituals Caller describes biking through a mysterious field with a possible shimmering portal in Michigan. Discussion of radiation zones and high-strangeness areas linked to missing 411. Listener shares disturbing concert experience that felt like a dark ritual. 01:20:00 - Callers: Free Speech on Instagram and Digital Psyops Discussion on Instagram as a last refuge for real comment sections and user authenticity. Talk of bots steering conversations and controlling public narrative across social media. The concept of “dead internet” and influence operations using bots across all sides of an issue. 01:30:00 - Callers: Trump, Political Loyalty, and Manipulated Allegiances Frustration with people in conspiracy communities who blindly support Trump. Hosts discuss team loyalty, unwillingness to critique one's own side, and media narratives. Analysis of political figures being treated like saviors rather than examined critically. 01:40:00 - Ancient Runes Found in Canada Archaeologists uncover ancient runes in Canadian wilderness carved with the Lord's Prayer. The writing uses a long-dead version of the runic alphabet. Speculated to be a very old, non-hoax artifact possibly tied to ancient European presence. 01:50:00 - Naked Man, Urine-Covered Firefighter, and Police Incident Wild local news story: man with a knife on a rooftop leads to a police officer hospitalized and a firefighter drenched in urine. Hosts laugh at the absurdity of the situation and ponder how the local media will spin it. Marks a return to classic “weird news” energy that the show is known for. 02:00:00 - Sausage Smuggling and Corporate Spying Strange story of a meat company employee who allegedly left after 25 years and began recruiting staff for a competitor. Rumors of “smuggling sausages” and jokes about secret meat missions. Ends the episode with humorous chaos and signature irreverence.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

00:00:00 - Technical Woes and Alex Jones Clips The crew kicks off with complaints about Zoom updates, tech mishaps, and recovering from "goat issues." They catch up on news via Alex Jones clips, including his wild, offensive rants and commentary on MAGA's fractured base and World War III fears. 00:10:00 - Trump, Iran, and the Council on Foreign Relations Discussion turns to Trump's shifting stance on Iran. The Council on Foreign Relations surprisingly urges against U.S. involvement in Israel's military action against Iran. The hosts debate neocon warmongering and America's push for another prolonged conflict. 00:20:00 - Military Industrial Complex and Historical War Declarations Commentary on how U.S. wars have become business ventures for elites. The last declared war was WWII; everything else has been a "police action." They criticize inconsistent intel about Iran's nuclear capabilities and express disillusionment with Trump. 00:30:00 - Prepping for War and Media Manipulation Reports of military movement and air refueling deployments spark concerns of war escalation. Speculation rises over Israel targeting Iran's outdated aircraft and oil fields. They connect geopolitical instability to oil prices and economic manipulation. 00:40:00 - Civilizational Collapse and Population Decline A hypothetical: if no one could have children, civilization would collapse within decades. The discussion dives into dystopian timelines, nuclear conflict fallout, and how infrastructure would crumble without younger generations. 00:50:00 - MKUltra and CIA Mind-Controlled Animals The crew revisits the CIA's MKUltra program and experiments with using animals as mind-controlled assassins. This bizarre yet historically documented topic segues into military-tech rabbit holes and ethical absurdities. 01:00:00 - Secret Military Bases and Moon Soldiers A wild clip emerges of a U.S. Army official casually mentioning "soldier astronauts on the moon." The team speculates on secret military space programs and the plausibility of militarized lunar bases. 01:10:00 - Ultra-Terrestrials and Cyclical Civilizations Discussion shifts to the “ultra-terrestrial” theory—suggesting ancient advanced civilizations may have existed before humanity. They consider nuclear traces, lost technology, and elite underground survivors as part of a repeating civilizational loop. 01:20:00 - Flight Scam and Bigfoot Sightings A man impersonates a flight attendant to fly 120 times for free. Then it's back to Bigfoot: Michigan sightings prompt a cannabis dispensary to offer discounts for photo evidence. They play a custom Bigfoot song and enjoy the folklore. 01:30:00 - Bear Attack Thwarted with Walker and Rice Krispies A heroic nurse uses a walker and Rice Krispies to fend off a bear at a Pennsylvania nursing home. The hosts praise her bravery and riff on the absurdity of the situation while wrapping up with bear sightings in Ohio. 01:40:00 - Media Manipulation and Dragon Believers The hosts criticize media outlets for changing headlines without acknowledgment after stories gain traction—particularly citing Joe Rogan's influence. A humorous detour emerges debating whether Rogan believes in dragons, with discussions on dragon mythology and its cultural resonance. 01:50:00 - Mosh Pit Mayhem and Accidental Emergency Alerts Smartwatches and fitness devices accidentally triggered emergency alerts during a UK music festival mosh pit, mistaking the chaos for real injuries. Authorities asked attendees to disable alerts or switch to airplane mode to avoid flooding emergency lines.   Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Phone: 614-388-9109 ► Skype: ourbigdumbmouth ► Website: http://obdmpod.com ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/obdmpod ► Full Videos at Odysee: https://odysee.com/@obdm:0 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/obdmpod ► Instagram: obdmpod ► Email: ourbigdumbmouth at gmail ► RSS: http://ourbigdumbmouth.libsyn.com/rss ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-big-dumb-mouth/id261189509?mt=2

Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

In Episode 6 of the Shipwreck Show, Shipwreck tackles the wildfire of propaganda burning across social media, from left-leaning influencers pushing ICE panic to conservative talking heads parroting the same pre-approved scripts. With characteristic sass, she breaks down how paid influence campaigns manipulate emotions through staged videos, fake audio, and strategic outrage. From TikTok psyops and media hypocrisy to viral misinformation about ICE raids, Shipwreck calls out both sides for their part in narrative warfare. But it's not all fire and fury, this episode takes a deep turn into the emotional exhaustion of political deception and the spiritual spiral of nihilism. Shipwreck shares a powerful segment on purpose, motherhood, and finding meaning when nothing seems real. Featuring viral clips, Bigfoot stickers, a Sasquatch swear jar, and raw reflections on identity and faith, this episode is equal parts therapy, truth bomb, and comic relief.

Send us a textToday, we've got another edition of The Two Kens with my good friend and fellow podcaster, Ken Fong. This time, we dive into the bizarre breakup between Donald Trump and Elon Musk — a political feud that feels like your parents fighting in public. No one's enjoying it, but everyone's watching. Trump, the undisputed Master of Distraction, still knows how to hijack the media cycle like nobody else. But Musk? He's backing down, but MAGA world is squirming.We'll also take a hard look at an aging Democratic Party, struggling to reach a younger generation. Legends like Bernie Sanders and the young and compelling AOC, efforts are underway to counter-balance the callous, authoritarian strategies of this administration. And then there's David Hogg, now a DNC vice chair, who came out of the Parkland tragedy and has become a bold voice for Gen Z.We'll unpack L.A.'s recent ICE and National Guard deployment, Mayor Karen Bass's leadership, and how Gavin Newsom is responding to Trump's provocations — including that military birthday bash set for June 14.I give a shoutout to my nephew Otto Kemp, who just jumped from the Triple A Iron Pigs to the big show - on the starting roster with the Philadelphia Phillies.Darcy and Dane McKenzie: A Minnesota military family speaks out: No troops to quell protestsSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

In today's episode, we examine the intensifying public rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The catalyst? Trump's recently proposed “Big Beautiful Bill” which notably removes federal subsidies that have historically benefited Musk's ventures. Elon has not remained silent, and tensions escalated further when he retaliated by implying that Trump is listed among Jeffrey Epstein's known associates, suggesting this as the reason the full client list remains sealed.Major accusation.Is this an authentic ideological clash, or a calculated distraction? What are the political implications, and who truly benefits from this spectacle? Let's dissect the rhetoric, analyze the deeper motives, and apply biblical clarity in the midst of all of the chaos.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOopJ1q_VkwFOO-Q2RCLoc1uzsHwAP4yh-_ZFG-r8_S9idICTj6nR

What happens when data knows us better than we know ourselves? In this raw and riveting conversation, John Vervaeke and Christopher Mastropietro sit down with Andy Russell — a former architect of data-driven persuasion — to expose how AI, behavioral profiling, and social media algorithms can hijack human desire, threaten our agency, and reshape our civilization. But there's hope: what if the same power that manipulates us can be used to heal us? This episode lays bare the disturbing origins of persuasion tech, how it was used in politics and commerce, and what it will mean when AI takes the driver's seat. Andy shares his personal reckoning, his brush with death, and how he's dedicating the rest of his life to restoring dignity and meaning to the human experience — with spiritual urgency. Andy Russell is a serial entrepreneur and former insider in data and media technology. After helping build some of the very tools that now shape persuasion online, he experienced a profound moral and existential crisis. He now advocates for radical transparency, decentralized AI, and human-centered design as a pathway toward societal healing. Christopher Mastropietro is a philosophical writer who is fascinated by dialogue, symbols, and the concept of self. He actively contributes to the Vervaeke Foundation.

After Canada's shocking Conservative defeat, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with The Rogue Lawyer, Phillip Millar to dissect what went wrong, who's to blame, and how to fix our cultural crisis. They kick things off by unpacking the election results - how a lead slipped away, why young people seem so checked out, and what it says about where Canada's headed. They also talk about how our military's falling apart, why young men are lost, and how people like Andrew Tate are filling the gap left by weak leadership and even weaker culture. Lastly, they dig into the safe supply drug programs, the rise of fentanyl in small towns, and the digital distractions that keep everyone arguing about nonsense while the country burns.

00:00:00 – Joe Returns and Anti-Dog Climate Push Joe is back from vacation and reflects on a noisy Houston trip. The crew dives into a report claiming that pet dogs are a climate threat due to their emissions and impact on wildlife. The show debates the logic and absurdity of this claim, humorously defending dog ownership. 00:10:00 – Poop Theory and Dog Attack Prevention Discussion deepens around dog waste, the logistics of picking it up, and the environmental footprint of dog food. A bizarre story emerges about a man stopping a dog attack by inserting his finger into the dog's backside — sparking disbelief and crude jokes. 00:20:00 – Dog Park Chaos and Tech Illiteracy Study A second video shows more dog park drama. The team transitions to a new study that links lack of computer skills to lower intelligence rather than lack of training, sparking commentary on aging, tech literacy, and whether some people are just beyond help. 00:30:00 – Helicopter Marshmallow Drops and Sperm Racing A Michigan Easter event drops marshmallows from a helicopter, but kids aren't allowed to eat them — only trade them for prizes. The episode then dives into the bizarre concept of “sperm racing,” a real event in LA involving university students, sperm samples, leaderboards, and betting. 00:40:00 – Sperm Racing Gets Real and Tucker's Turn The logistics of sperm races continue, and the absurdity of the event is explored. Then the focus shifts to Tucker Carlson's recent shift from establishment war hawk to 9/11 skeptic, showing how drastically public figures can evolve over time. 00:50:00 – AI Trading Grifts and Diaper Challenges The team critiques a fake AI influencer claiming stock market success. They mock TikTok trends where adults participate in diaper-wearing challenges. A comedian's bit about aging and avoiding loud places sparks agreement and stories from the hosts. 01:00:00 – Triggered Over MAGA Hats and Media Bias A woman loses it over someone wearing a MAGA hat at a restaurant. The hosts examine extreme emotional reactions and discuss how mainstream media selectively crafts sympathetic narratives depending on politics. 01:10:00 – Deported “Maryland Father” vs. MS-13 Reality The show unpacks the media story about a deported "Maryland father" that glosses over his gang ties and illegal entry. Audio clips show the political spin versus actual legal records, including the MS-13 affiliation and multiple arrests. 01:20:00 – Narrative Control and Listener Abduction Stories More analysis of the deportation case and the twisted logic used to defend gang-affiliated individuals. Listeners call in, including one sharing a fragmented, emotional story of alien abduction, missing time, and strange childhood encounters. 01:30:00 – Abduction Memories and Strange News Wrap-Up Another caller recounts being paralyzed and encountering a being in his room as a child. The segment ends with a lighthearted news story about Trump-themed toilet brushes trending in China as satire amid trade tensions. 01:40:00 – Time Manipulation & Temporal Disorientation Discussion turns to oddities around time manipulation and perception — stories involving waking up disoriented, backward bedding, strange memory gaps, and speculation about reality manipulation or missing time. Alien abduction themes are revisited, tying into earlier calls. 01:50:00 – Toddler Arguments and Diaper Logic The show humorously shifts gears into absurd conversations toddlers have — like bargaining over diapers, making "challenges" out of wearing them, and the surreal logic toddlers use. The hosts riff on how it feels like arguing with a drunk tiny person.   Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research ▀▄▀▄▀ CONTACT LINKS ▀▄▀▄▀ ► Phone: 614-388-9109 ► Skype: ourbigdumbmouth ► Website: http://obdmpod.com ► Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/obdmpod ► Full Videos at Odysee: https://odysee.com/@obdm:0 ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/obdmpod ► Instagram: obdmpod ► Email: ourbigdumbmouth at gmail ► RSS: http://ourbigdumbmouth.libsyn.com/rss ► iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/our-big-dumb-mouth/id261189509?mt=2  

In a tense moment of market volatility, legacy media and institutional forces attempted to incite panic among middle-class investors, echoing doomsday predictions of a “Black Monday.” But with the decentralization of media and rise of platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the narrative failed to take hold. The segment explores how free speech, independent voices, and resistance to media manipulation prevented a sell-off, reflecting a broader shift in power from elites to everyday Americans—particularly Main Street investors aligned with populist politics.

The Congo is four times larger than France, it's bigger than India, it's bigger than Texas, Alaska, California & Montana combined - the equator runs right through it's middle and makes it the second largest rainforest on the globe - it's impossibly rich in resources, and desperately poor in economics. In those 13 years of private ownership, Leopold oversaw potentially one of the most brutal regimes of extraction the world has ever known. The population was estimated to have halved in those 13 years, more than 10 million deaths. It was an exploit in mass slavery, mass death, bodily mutilation and mass extraction. Ivory and wild rubber were in high demand, and so under the guise of media manipulation and PR mastery, Leopold convinced the world that these goods were in fact being traded with, rather than extracted from, the Congo. The horror, however, could only be concealed for so long. A fella by the name of Ed Morell who worked for a shipping company in Liverpool noticed the bounty of ivory and rubber arriving from the Congo, with only men and arms making the journey back. His suspicion grew, he found accounts from missionaries and others who had been, and mounted a campaign to undermine the constant wall of propaganda Leopold had financed.In 1908, the Belgium state purchased the Congo off Leopold… where the country remained a colony of Belgium until 1960. And for a myriad of reasons, for which we address in the podcast, the Congo today is still on the back foot. Kinshasa, the capital city already has a bigger population than Paris, and is projected to be as much as 40,000,000 by 2050. The Congo today is among the most resource rich nations on earth, but among the least developed. It still attracts the same predation for extraction as it ever has, although all together less forceful and less violentThe man I speak with on the podcast today wrote the definitive history of this period. His name is Adam Hochschild, he's an author, journalist and historian and wrote in 1998, 'King Leopold's Ghost'. 00:00 Congo's Dark History & Adam Hochschild03:03 Leopold's Brutal Regime09:02 Modern Parallels of Exploitation12:11 The Unique Case of King Leopold14:58 The Mechanics of Control & Media Manipulation20:45 Campaigning Against Atrocities: The Legacy of Morrell34:22 Colonialism and Forced Labor: The Belgian Congo36:16 The Rubber Boom and Its Consequences38:09 Criticism Of The Book & Congolese Resistance42:57 Nationalism and Colonialism: Morel's Perspective44:48 The Impact of Colonialism on Modern Nations47:17 Geography and Development: The Congo's Challenges49:51 Natural Resources and Corruption52:27 The Future of the Congo: A Grim Outlook57:22 Serendipity(There was an technical difficulty right at the end of the conversation, which is why it cuts off) Consider leaving a review on whichever platform you're listening on!

In this special combo episode, I get honest about staying united during times of political disagreement and media-induced anxiety. I emphasize the importance of skepticism towards politics and media, listing out historical government manipulations like CIA's MKUltra and Operation Mockingbird. Finally, I guide you through a 10-minute breathing exercise to alleviate anxiety and restore hope.
