    #432 Tyler Todt - He Made $1M By 26 Playing Poker. It Wasn't Enough

    Zuby is joined by "the most positive man on the internet", Tyler Todt. Tyler shares his story; from dropping out of college and winning seven figures playing professional poker, to waking up at 34 depressed, overweight, and on an SSRI that made everything worse. Eight and a half years later he's in the best shape of his life, financially free, and coaching thousands of men. The conversation covers why the USA is drowning in depression and obesity, why blaming social media is outsourcing personal responsibility, and the danger of giving away your power.

    #431 Franklin Camargo - How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela

    Zuby is joined by political and cultural commentator Franklin Camargo, who was born and raised in Venezuela and now lives in the United States. Franklin shares how the fourth richest economy in the world in the 1950s became a country where 90% of the population lives in poverty and why the destruction started long before Chávez ever took power. The conversation covers why light socialism paves the way for radical socialism, the moral argument that facts alone can never win, why communism doesn't carry the same stigma as fascism despite a higher body count, the Maduro cartel, and why envy is what keeps socialism alive.

    Zuby is joined by Houston-based ENT physician and author Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, one of the most persecuted doctors of the Covid era. Mary treated over 6,000 Covid patients as an independent physician while institutions worked to shut her down. Mary was denied hospital privileges, publicly branded as spreading "dangerous misinformation," and is still fighting the Texas Medical Board today. The conversation covers the coordinated FDA smear campaign against ivermectin, the court order a hospital simply refused to obey while a father of six died, the $11.5 billion taxpayer-funded influencer campaign that pushed the "safe and effective" narrative, the vaccine-injured patients being told it's all in their heads, the Fauci hearings, and why the collapse of trust may be the most damaging legacy of all.

    #428 Maj Toure - The Media Is Lying to You About America

    Zuby is joined by Philadelphia native, libertarian, and founder of Black Guns Matter, Maj Toure. Maj gives a raw and unflinching assessment of the state of America — from mass civic ignorance and a currency that's lost 96% of its value, to what he calls the most disappointing presidency he's ever witnessed. The conversation digs into dead internet theory, why 51% of online traffic is bots, and how the vitriol you see online bears almost no resemblance to real life. Maj and Zuby also confront the resurgence of racial collectivism on all sides, why so many people abandon their principles the moment the target changes, the psyop of division, and why staying nuanced in a polarised world is about to become the most valuable position of all.

    #426 Jeremy Ryan Slate - America Is Repeating Rome's Fatal Mistakes

    Zuby is joined by CEO of Command Your Brand and creator of The Roman Pattern, Jeremy Ryan Slate.
