    A-List Comedian Ghostwriter: “Your Worst Day Is Your Best Content” | Ep 5

    Comedy writing, public speaking, and the psychology of why things are actually funny are not skills most people ever stop to study. Forbes Shannon did, spending 13 years on stage, ghostwriting for A-list comedians, and opening for Rob Schneider before breaking down the exact mechanics of what makes something land and what makes it die. In this episode of Forged, Brady Edwards goes deep into joke construction, setup, punchline, and the art of the tag with one of the sharpest minds in comedy. Brady also does something he has never done on camera before, performing an untested bit about death and letting Forbes tear it apart in real time. If you have ever wondered why your jokes land in person but die over text, why some people just seem to have it, or how the best comedians actually think, this is the episode for you. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (01:41) What Actually Makes Something Funny (07:15) When Your Best Material Has a Shelf Life (15:54) Channeling the Consensus of the Room (19:01) Cadence, Rhythm, and Counting Syllables (24:29) Everything Is a Bit (33:26) Jokes in Person Versus Text (40:38) Why Is This Funny: The Only Question (45:40) Breaking Down The Hair Bit (57:40) How to Bomb and Why It Matters (01:01:34) The Untested Death Bit The best conversations start with the best guests.

    Dr. Sierra Bains: "They Made Us Infertile Then Sold Us the Cure" | Ep 3

    The healthcare system is not broken. It is working exactly as designed, and that is the problem. Dr. Sierra Bains is a functional medicine practitioner and Doctor of Physical Therapy who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after her second Pfizer dose in 2021, told off the record by a provider at the University of Washington MS Clinic that she had been vaccine injured, handed a black box drug as her only option, and threw it away. She reversed her symptoms, and walked away from the entire system. In this episode of Forged, we get into why the sick care model is built on recurring revenue rather than recovery, what has driven US fertility from 3.7 to 1.6 children per woman, and what birth control is actually doing to adolescent hormones. Sierra also walks through how sauna use has been shown to eliminate microplastics from human tissue and why your first 20 minutes awake are rewiring your brain without your permission. If you have ever felt like something about modern medicine is fundamentally off but could not quite articulate why, this conversation is for you. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (01:09) The Vaccine Injury Story (07:08) Leaving the Medical System (14:14) Pharmaceutical Reps and Incentives (17:38) Birth Control: The First Subscription (25:27) The Deck of Cards Realization (30:01) The Fertility Crisis by the Numbers (43:26) Living in Toxic Soup (48:06) DDT in Her Body 60 Years Later (01:06:55) Cancer Disappears Through Belief (01:17:36) Parasites Are Protecting You (01:28:40) The War on Attention and Thinking (01:47:13) The First 20 Minutes Are Sacred (01:58:29) 20 Minutes Without Your Phone The best conversations start with the best guests.

    The Most Isolated Man on Earth: What's Really in Antarctica | Ep 2

    Everything in your head is a story, you might as well make up whatever you want. Akshay Nanavati is a Marine Corps combat veteran who cleared bombs on foot in Iraq, spent 60 days completely alone dragging the heaviest sled ever pulled across Antarctica, and sat down with a Tendai Buddhist marathon monk who runs up to two marathons a day for a thousand days and when asked if he suffered said simply, why would I, I chose to be there. In this episode of Forged, Akshay breaks down why all mental suffering comes down to resisting or clinging, how the frame through which you experience pain is something you built and can rebuild, and what nine days of no food no water and no sleep teaches about the upper ceiling of human possibility. If you have ever felt like your own mind is the hardest thing you have ever had to survive, this one is for you.

    Former Lockheed Martin Engineer: “UFO Disclosure Could Ruin Religion” | EP 1

    UFO disclosure is no longer just a conspiracy theory discussed on the fringes. Justin Cross spent a decade as an aerospace engineer working on classified F-22 and F-35 flight test programs at Edwards Air Force Base, giving him a rare perspective on military technology, recovered craft, and what the public may still not know. In this episode, we explore why reported UAPs appear to defy known physics and whether the United States has technology far beyond what has been publicly disclosed. The conversation moves from the six observables of UFOs and secret aerospace programs to ancient civilizations, consciousness, and humanity’s ability to handle full disclosure. Justin also raises a deeper question about whether revealing nonhuman intelligence would expand our understanding of reality or pull people away from their spiritual foundation. For anyone questioning the official UFO narrative and wondering what disclosure could truly mean for humanity, this conversation goes far beyond lights in the sky. Chapters: (00:00) Introduction (01:33) Inside Edwards Air Force Base (08:30) The Iran Conflict and New Warfare (20:03) Fighter Pilots and UAP Encounters (31:32) The Six Observables (42:07) Ben Rich and Skunkworks (58:58) It Is So Exciting to Be Alive Right Now (01:13:03) The S4 Craft Has No Human Element (01:29:24) Disclosure as Evil's Greatest Touchdown (01:44:19) Spiritual Warfare Is Not a Metaphor (01:50:50) Outsourcing Your Opinions to Institutions (02:00:05) The Ultimate Touchdown for Evil (02:09:49) Radical Ownership Starts with the Individual If you want to work with the team behind my show, book a call: https://calendly.com/brady-edwards/discovery Connect on Social Media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forgedpod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@forgedpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61589690551787 Connect with Justin: Website: https://earnitall.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justin-cross-514611251 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justin.j.cross YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EarnItAllPodcast
