Seems Sus

Brandon R Wright

Seems Sus is a commentary podcast that questions narratives, exposes hypocrisy, and cuts through the noise of modern life. Hosted by Ed and Brandon, the show explores media manipulation, government overreach, social division, conspiracy theories, cultural contradictions, and the uncomfortable patterns that keep repeating no matter who’s in power. From surveillance states and manufactured outrage to fake news, social media doom-scrolling, and a world obsessed with compliance and resistance at the same time, Seems Sus looks at how truth gets buried beneath narratives — and how people willingly defend systems that work against them. This isn’t left vs right, politics vs politics, or good guys vs bad guys. It’s about selective outrage, shifting principles, and a society drowning in information while starving for understanding. No preaching. No team jerseys. Just real conversations about a world that doesn’t add up.  Question everything. Trust nothing blindly. We bring the heat.

    Ep. 6: Selective Outrage

    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed tackle selective outrage, political tribalism, manufactured narratives, and the growing emotional fallout of the last decade. From social media misinformation and viral panic to post pandemic anger and identity driven conflict, the conversation explores why society feels more divided, hostile, and confused than ever. We question why people blindly defend systems they distrust, why outrage shifts depending on who is in power, and how fear based narratives keep repeating with new faces and new excuses. Outrage has become the default state of modern society. In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed examine how selective outrage, misinformation, and political obsession fuel constant conflict while nothing ever truly changes. The discussion covers social media manipulation, fake headlines, AI misinformation, and how easily false claims spread when they align with existing beliefs. From exaggerated crisis narratives to outright fabricated stories, the episode highlights how little verification happens before people react emotionally. The conversation also dives into the long term psychological effects of isolation, pandemic era fear, and loss of trust in institutions.  Brandon and Ed talk about compliance, resistance, shifting narratives, and why people who once demanded obedience now condemn it.  Topics expand into political hypocrisy, voting disillusionment, government power, education and indoctrination, taxation, surveillance, and the realization that public outrage rarely leads to meaningful change.  Topics Discussed Selective outrage and political hypocrisy Media manipulation and misinformation Social media fear cycles AI generated misinformation Post pandemic psychological effects Compliance versus resistance narratives Government trust and disillusionment Education and political conditioning Surveillance and loss of personal agency Cultural division and identity politics Consumerism and manufactured tradition Religious symbolism and cultural myths Conspiracy theories and historical patterns Watch live every Thursday night at 9:00 PM EST at the Tinfoil Tales Podcast YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@tinfoiltales

    Ep. 3: We Survived the Alien Invasion

    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed kick off the new year by questioning global events, media narratives, political theater, and the nonstop cycle of outrage that never seems to slow down. From alien invasion headlines and manufactured panic to government actions overseas and selective hypocrisy at home, the conversation explores why nothing ever feels resolved. We discuss why the same stories repeat with new faces, why apologies never follow misinformation, and how both sides of every issue seem to defend systems that consistently fail the public.  The world feels like it is stuck on repeat. Breaking news cycles come and go, fear based headlines dominate attention, and public outrage shifts on command. In this episode of Seems Sus, we examine media manipulation, political hypocrisy, and why people react emotionally without ever questioning who benefits. Brandon and Ed talk about global conflicts, government overreach, immigration narratives, selective enforcement, and the illusion of choice within political systems. The conversation also touches on surveillance, censorship, voter influence, taxation, healthcare, and the growing disconnect between everyday people and those in power. As the episode unfolds, the discussion moves into cultural conditioning, hive mind behavior, social media activism, and why public opinion is so easily steered. From viral outrage to ignored truths, this episode connects the dots between distraction, control, and compliance.  Topics Discussed: Media manipulation and narrative control Fake news and manufactured outrage Political hypocrisy and selective enforcement Government overreach and surveillance Immigration narratives and public perception Censorship and information suppression Social media influence and hive mind behavior Voter trust and the illusion of choice Taxation, healthcare, and systemic control Cultural division and repeated patterns Watch live every Thursday night at 9:00 PM EST at the Tinfoil Tales Podcast YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@tinfoiltales

    Ep. 5: Snowmageddon

    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed take a wide ranging look at weather manipulation theories, government secrecy, outbreak preparedness, and how quickly society collapses under pressure. What starts as a discussion about strange storms and unusual weather patterns turns into a deeper conversation about control, fear, and how unprepared people really are when systems fail. From chemtrail speculation and unexplained aerial activity to zombie apocalypse hypotheticals and pandemic behavior, this episode questions whether humanity could survive a real large scale crisis without turning on itself.  Extreme weather events, supply shortages, and emergency narratives have become normal parts of modern life. In this episode of Seems Sus, we examine why storms feel larger, crises feel constant, and public reaction feels increasingly irrational. Brandon and Ed discuss weather modification bans, chemtrails, unexplained flares and aerial phenomena, and strange activity near military installations. The conversation expands into government secrecy, surveillance, and why official explanations often raise more questions than answers. The episode also dives into zombie apocalypse scenarios as a thought experiment, using past pandemic behavior, lockdowns, shortages, and social compliance to ask a simple question. If people fought over toilet paper and bread, how would society react to a real collapse or infectious outbreak? Topics include outbreak preparedness, social panic, manufactured fear, media narratives, compliance, resistance, and the repeating cycle of crisis driven control. Topics Discussed Weather manipulation and climate anomalies Chemtrails and aerial activity Military secrecy and unexplained flares Government control and emergency powers Pandemic behavior and public compliance Supply shortages and panic buying Zombie apocalypse hypotheticals Outbreak preparedness and social collapse Media fear cycles and distraction Surveillance and institutional distrust Watch live every Thursday night at 9:00 PM EST at the Tinfoil Tales Podcast YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@tinfoiltales

    Ep. 1: When The Machines Start To Think For You

    Seems Sus is a podcast that explores conspiracy theories, strange news, unexplained technology, and the patterns in modern life that feel off. If something doesn’t add up, this is where we talk about it. In this episode, Brandon and Ed dive into the rapid rise of artificial intelligence and question whether AI is truly helping humanity or quietly replacing it. From AI generated art and music to self driving vehicles and smart technology, we discuss how fast this technology appeared, who controls it, and why so much information feels filtered or restricted. Artificial intelligence is now part of everyday life. It writes posts, creates images, edits music, drives cars, controls homes, and influences what information people are allowed to see. But how did it become so embedded so quickly, and what are the long term consequences? In this episode of Seems Sus, we talk about the benefits and dangers of AI, whether machines should be trusted with ethical decisions, and if society has become too dependent on technology to function without it. Topics discussed include the rise of consumer AI, AI replacing creative jobs, censorship and restricted information, smart devices and surveillance concerns, self driving car decision making, and whether people are the real danger behind artificial intelligence.

    Ep. 2: Media Manipulation and Fake News

    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed break down how media narratives are manufactured, amplified, and weaponized to keep people divided and distracted. From viral outrage stories to political theater, this conversation digs into why certain headlines explode overnight while more serious issues quietly disappear. We question whether viral incidents are organic or intentionally pushed, how fake profiles and bots influence public opinion, and why social media platforms increasingly restrict speech under the banner of safety and misinformation. If it feels like the same stories keep repeating with different faces, this episode explores why. Modern media thrives on outrage. Stories are selected, framed, and repeated until people are emotionally invested, even when the details do not fully add up. In this episode of Seems Sus, we examine how race based outrage cycles, political scandals, and viral incidents dominate attention while deeper systemic problems go unaddressed. Brandon and Ed discuss social media manipulation, shadow banning, fake profiles, and the growing presence of bots designed to inflame division. The conversation also explores government power, censorship, redistricting, surveillance, and the increasing push toward identity verification online. Topics range from viral media distractions and manufactured controversy to social media restrictions, government overreach, public compliance, and why people defend systems that consistently work against Watch live every Thursday night at 9:00 PM EST at the Tinfoil Tales Podcast YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@tinfoiltales

    Ep. 4: Manufactured Chaos

    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed question the strange patterns behind media coverage, political outrage, and the stories that dominate public attention while others quietly disappear. From government hypocrisy and selective enforcement to viral narratives and staged moments that feel too perfectly timed, this conversation explores why reality often feels scripted. We talk about why questioning narratives instantly earns labels, why being neutral is treated as dangerous, and how people are pushed into defending systems they claim to distrust. Nothing feels settled, nothing feels honest, and everything feels conveniently distracting. Episode Summary Modern society is flooded with information, yet clarity feels impossible to find. In this episode of Seems Sus, we examine media manipulation, political theater, and the repeating cycles of outrage that keep people divided and emotionally reactive.  Brandon and Ed discuss government power, censorship, surveillance, and the role of fear based headlines in shaping public behavior. The conversation moves through hypocrisy across political lines, cultural contradictions, and why neutrality is no longer tolerated. Topics also include suspiciously staged media imagery, viral photo ops, crisis narratives, conspiracy theories surrounding modern conflicts, and the idea that society is being conditioned to fight itself rather than question authority.  Topics Discussed Media manipulation and narrative framing Government hypocrisy and overreach Censorship and selective outrage Surveillance culture and public compliance Manufactured crises and staged media moments Conspiracy theories and information control Social division and hive mind behavior Education, indoctrination, and cultural conditioning Distrust in institutions and repeating historical patterns Watch live every Thursday night at 9:00 PM EST at the Tinfoil Tales Podcast YouTube Channel! http://www.youtube.com/@tinfoiltales
