    TLPP: How to Spot Statistical BS w/ Aaron Brown

    Aaron Brown is a quantitative analyst, risk manager, and author of the new book Wrong Number: How to Extract Truth from a Blizzard of Quantitative Disinformation. https://amzn.to/4frmg3n He's also about to debate gun control at the Soho Forum in August — and his preparation for that debate is a pretty good preview of what's in the book. Topics include: why out of 28,000 gun control studies, the RAND Corporation found only 20 that weren't statistically crippled; the smoking analogy and what it tells us about legislation that runs ahead of evidence; why gun laws burden legitimate owners and not criminals; why we have a crime problem, not a gun problem; The Lancet paper that claimed US aid saved 92 million lives; how to spot three red flags that tell you a statistic is BS; and Wonder Bread's motto "Helps build strong bodies 12 ways" — which nobody ever actually wrote down.

    FF: Your Gut is Either Fighting Cancer or Feeding It

    Top cancer researchers just declared the gut microbiome a "moonshot moment" in cancer prevention — so why is nobody talking about it? In this solo episode, I break down the mounting science linking poor gut health to not just colon cancer, but breast, lung, pancreatic, liver, and even brain tumors. You'll learn what dysbiosis actually is, how a leaky gut opens the door to chronic inflammation and tumor growth, and which everyday habits are quietly wrecking your microbiome. I also walk through the specific cancers most connected to gut health and what the research actually says about each one. Then we get into what you can do about it — from eating fermented foods and fiber to choosing the right probiotic delivery system. The good news is that unlike your genetics, your microbiome is something you can start changing with your very next meal. This episode is a wake-up call, but more importantly, it's a roadmap.

    PoliTicks: CA Counts Votes Slower Than 3rd World Countries

    John Odermatt, Lou Perez, and Brian McWilliams kick off the episode with a viral story about a YouTube couple who publicly live-streamed learning their unborn child tested positive for Down syndrome — and subsequently aborted the pregnancy. The hosts debate the ethics of turning deeply personal medical decisions into content, the accuracy of prenatal testing, and what they see as hypocrisy in progressive attitudes toward human life. The conversation transitions into the LA mayoral race, with mail-in ballot counting dragging on and potentially shifting results. The episode closes with a look at Bernie Sanders' proposed American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, which would impose a 50% tax on AI company stock and redistribute proceeds to citizens, and the hosts compare it to what Marc Andreessen allegedly described as the Biden administration's attempt to limit and control the AI industry.

    MADD: Sanctimonious "60 Minutes" / Spencer Pratt Stays Alive

    On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian has no pity for the fired Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes fame, one of the most overrated shows ever in its modern incarnation. Also: Spencer Pratt advances into a finale vs. Karen Bass in Los Angeles, and the IPCC is exposed as charlatans.

    TLPP: Hollywood Samizdat with Film Producer Rambo Van Halen

    Rambo Van Halen is a pseudonym. He's a Hollywood producer — the real kind, the below-the-line kind, the guy making sure the steel gets to the factory — who worked in the industry for decades, walked away in 2019, and wrote a book about it.The book is called Hollywood Samizdat: Notes from Below the Line. It's published by Passage Press. Lou read it. He dog-eared it. They talked for an hour. Topics include: what a producer actually does (mostly administration, definitely not what people think); what happens to actors when nobody says no to them for 20 years; the feminization of Hollywood and why straight guys stopped being able to do their jobs; military veterans vs. film school graduates on set (no contest); Werner Herzog, Klaus Kinski, and the Amazon river; the unwritten casting rule about who can and can't be the butt of the joke; MeToo — the careers it should have ended, the ones it shouldn't have, and the Joe Gatt story that will make your jaw drop; and why Rambo Van Halen is not his real name and probably never will be.

    FF: AI, Persuasion and the Future of Human Creativity with Jon Benson

    Jon Benson — the inventor of the video sales letter and a copywriter responsible for over $1 billion in revenue — joins the show to explore what happens to human creativity as AI takes on more of the work. Jon shares how he accidentally stumbled into copywriting, why ethical persuasion rooted in personal values outperforms manipulation, and how he's built a system of AI "clones" that handle everything from sales pages to email sequences. He explains the frustrating reality of training AI to write like a human (hint: it hates commas), why knowledge remains the ultimate competitive advantage, and how the window to get ahead of the AI wave is closing fast. If you're an entrepreneur wondering where to start, this episode will show you exactly what's possible — and what's at stake if you wait.

    TBNS: Did Daily Wire Really Burn $100 Million On This

    Did Daily Wire really torch $100 million on Bentkey? Marcus Pittman, CEO of LOOR TV, called the collapse of conservative streaming years before it happened - and he is back on the show to explain exactly why conservative entertainment keeps losing. Four years ago Marcus came on with a contrarian pitch that made VCs laugh in his face - Netflix meets Kickstarter, where subscribers decide what gets made. Today he has funded nearly 40 pieces of content for under a million bucks, the same number the venture guys swore would cost over $100 million. He bet against the room and the room was wrong. Here is the mistake that keeps sinking the right. Conservatives build content for the parent and forget the parent is not the consumer - the kid is. McDonald's figured this out with the Happy Meal in the 70s. Chuck E Cheese figured it out. Bentkey never did, ad the bill came due to the tune of nine figures. Then we get into the part nobody on our side wants to hear. Rumble keeps screaming "free speech platform" while quietly admitting they have no Mr. Beast. Microsoft lit $100 million on fire chasing Ninja over to Mixer. The pattern is always the same - buy the big name, wait for the audience to follow, watch it crash. Marcus lays out the open letter he wrote Chris Pavlovsky and the playbook that actually builds an audience from zero. We close on where this is all going - why Gen Z does not care about celebrities, why the next great Christian film might be a Ryan Gosling space movie, and why the human connection that AI can never fake is the whole ballgame. If you build, fund, or just consume content, this one will recalibrate how you think about the entire game.
