This is the early days for mold awareness, in 20 years everyone will know this, no need to be behind.

We explored how mold and poor air quality contribute to serious health issues, including brain fog and fatigue to more severe conditions like autoimmune disorders and long term neurological problems. We spoke about modern building practices and the rise of mold-related health issues, and why potentially 80% of homes in the U.S. harbor hidden water damage and poor air quality. Michael also provided tips to improve indoor air, including testing methods, air purifiers, and how to identify mold in your home—even when it’s not visible. We also covered Michael’s advocacy work through the Change the Air Foundation, which aims to improve public health policies and tackle mold-related issues in housing, schools, and military facilities. Enjoy!

    JBP Update: Re-education, Moving to the US, Russian Funding, and Bill C-63 | EP 215

    In this episode, JBP and I discussed his battle with the Canadian College of Psychologists (who renamed themselves mysteriously!), his “re-education” (which is actually going to happen), and the broader implications of Bill C-63, a piece of legislation that would basically make being a conservative illegal in Canada. We discussed Trudeau’s recent accusation that Dad was funded by Russians, and JBP shared his arrest warrant from Montreal. We explored why we left Canada, the success of his latest book hitting #1 on The New York Times bestseller list, and how rationalists and empiricists have lost and why. Enjoy!

    Addiction, Comedy, and Trauma with Brittany Schmitt | EP 214

    In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with comedian Brittany Schmitt. We dove into her journey from working in advertising to becoming a full-time comedian, her struggles with alcoholism, her path to sobriety, and the impact sobriety has had on her creativity and social life. Brittany also opened up about life as a female comic, navigating the industry, misadventures in dating, and the challenges of sharing personal material on stage. Brittany discussed a shift toward a new era in comedy that's embracing sobriety as a response to the burnout, addiction, and tragedy of the previous generation. Once characterized by chaotic lifestyles and substance-fueled performances, comedians are fostering a culture that prioritizes mental health and longevity. We also spoke about Kill Tony’s Madison Square Garden roast, Trump on Rogan, JD Vance on Theo, general sentiment of people moving away from the extreme left toward more balanced political perspectives, and the potential for unexpected common ground in the age of polarization.

    Senator Ron Johnson on Corruption, Elon’s DOGE, RFK Jr. and Trump Presidency | EP 213

    In this episode, I had the privilege of talking with Senator Ron Johnson. We discussed his recent Senate roundtable on American health and nutrition that he invited me to speak at recently, RFK Jr. and the likelihood of his cabinet appointment, institutional corruption, and more. We spoke at some length about the revolving door in Washington and how it effectively hands control of regulatory agencies over to pharma and big agriculture. We also explored the critical role of education and public awareness and our new age of podcast politics in waking people up to corruption in government. Senator Johnson also shared insights into how mainstream media and political institutions shape public perception–including the smear campaign currently going on against RFK Jr. We spoke about the surprising shift of the country away from the radical left toward populism and the center, and the path toward rebuilding trust in our government. Enjoy! Ron Johnson was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010 after running a successful manufacturing business in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for thirty years. From 2015-2021, he was Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and remains a member of it. He currently serves as Ranking Member (soon-to-be chairman) of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and is also a member of the Budget and Finance committees. Senator Johnson has been a staunch advocate for the vaccine injured, stating that injuries are “real, serious, and not all that rare.” In 2022, he ran for reelection for a third time so that he could continue investigating the corruption surrounding our federal health agencies and Big Pharma and how they have harmed Americans’ health.

    Orthodoxy, Protestantism, and Fairytales | Jonathan Pageau EP 212

    Jonathan Pageau is back on my podcast! He spoke about mythology and the decline of meaningful fairy tales, and shared his reimagining of ‘Jack and the Beanstock’ – ’Jack and the Fallen Giants.’ Jonathan explored the role of Saints, scripture, and the difference between Protestant and Orthodox beliefs regarding them.   Jonathan delved into the mythological significance of classic stories and why they resonate in ways today’s tales often fail to.. Reflecting on the storytelling legacy of old Disney films, he contrasted them with modern animations that feel increasingly shallow, and how the earlier films conveyed themes of good vs. evil, courage, and moral growth, in addition to grappling with complex and powerful religious symbolism.  Jonathan Pageau is a Canadian icon carver, artist, and speaker known for his unique insights into symbolism, art, and traditional Christian imagery. Pageau explores everything from biblical stories to pop culture, bringing fresh discussions about meaning, symbolism, and the spiritual life to a modern audience. —Check Out Our Sponsors—  For a high quality, ideology-free education consider enrolling in Peterson Academy: https://petersonacademy.com/ Order my hangover supplement, After Party on https://bit.ly/3HajcWV and Amazon https://a.co/d/6OGdTrT.

    China, Fentanyl, Pro-Palestine Protestors, BLM, and Marxism | Xaviaer DuRousseau EP 211

    This week I’m joined by PragerU personality Xaviaer DuRousseau. Xaviaer is an ex-BLM activist who now uses his platform to educate viewers on politics, and cultural issues as a PragerU Personality. We spoke about why some celebrities are forced to endorse Kamala Harris, Xaviaer’s time undercover for a “Free Palestinian” encampment on UCLA’s campus, misperceptions about Israel, the insidious re-emergence of anti-semisim, the necessity for an informed and educated public, and geopolitical politics and the link between China and fentanyl. Xaviaer also discussed his short documentary, “Their Lives Mattered,” that exposes the heartbreaking reality of inner-city children caught in the crossfire of violent crime as a result of de-policing policies and district attorneys who let repeat offenders back on the street. Xaviaer also reflected on how contrasting social environments shaped his early views on race and identity. He spoke about his college years embracing woke ideology, and his experiences as a social justice warrior in California. While watching PragerU videos with the intention of finding weaknesses in their arguments, Xaviaer realized he was wrong about almost everything, ultimately having an entire ideological shift.
