    Your Phone Is Spying on You Even When It’s Off | Joe Weil & Matt Green

    Your phone knows where you sleep, where you work, who you spend time with, what you search for, what you buy, where you worship and potentially even what political events you attend. And according to Joe Weil and Matt Green of Unplugged, most people have no idea how much of that information is being collected, sold and stored. Joe and Matt join the Truth Hurts Show for a deep dive into the surveillance economy hiding inside the device almost everyone carries in their pocket. They explain how ordinary apps continuously generate data that can reveal a person's pattern of life, why a VPN may not stop apps from identifying your real location, and how first party and third party tracking work behind the scenes. The conversation gets darker when AI enters the equation. Joe and Matt argue that the massive amount of information already collected about consumers becomes exponentially more powerful once AI can analyze it at scale. Your photos alone can reveal your relationships, locations, clothing preferences, habits and insecurities. But this episode goes beyond one phone. It becomes a much bigger conversation about freedom versus convenience, whether Americans have unknowingly traded privacy for free apps, why surveillance has become an economic model worth trillions and whether AI will finally make that model too powerful to ignore.

    Worm Queen Reveals the Signs You Have Parasites | Kim Rogers

    Kim Rogers is known online as the “Worm Queen,” and she believes parasites are a much bigger problem than most people realize. In this episode, she breaks down the symptoms she associates with parasites, where she believes people are picking them up, and the personal experience that turned her obsession with worms into a business that she says has now shipped more than 300,000 kits worldwide. Kim makes some massive claims. She says eating late at night, grinding your teeth, unexplained bloating and other symptoms can be signs of parasites. She discusses pinworms, tapeworms, hookworms and roundworms, and explains why she believes pet owners in particular should be paying attention. Then things get graphic. Kim describes finding pinworms, flukes and roundworms during her own cleansing journey and claims she even documented what she believed were pinworms emerging through her skin. That experience helped launch her online following and eventually earned her the name “Worm Queen.” Kim’s views and product claims should not be taken as medical diagnosis or treatment advice, and several claims discussed in this conversation are controversial or not established by mainstream medical evidence. But if you’ve ever wondered why the internet has become obsessed with parasite cleanses, this episode takes you directly inside that world. By the end, you may never look at sushi, tap water or your dog the same way again. Follow US!

    The Man Who Inspired Jack Sparrow Reveals Hollywood’s Dark Side | Jonathan Shaw

    Jonathan Shaw grew up inside Hollywood’s elite, became close with Johnny Depp before he was famous, battled heroin addiction, tattooed cultural icons, traveled the world with almost nothing and said what he witnessed behind Hollywood’s curtain took decades to fully understand. He recalls being around figures including Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Marlon Brando as a child. But underneath the celebrity, money and glamour was another world entirely. Jonathan eventually became a pioneering tattoo artist and met Johnny Depp before Depp had become a household name. They were young, immersed in Hollywood’s punk and drug scene, and Shaw says they were both heavily using heroin during that period. Years later, Shaw says he began recognizing pieces of himself in Depp’s performances and claims he became one of the inspirations behind Captain Jack Sparrow. But this conversation goes far beyond Johnny Depp. Jonathan discusses his belief that his mother participated in early MKUltra-era LSD experimentation and describes her connection to people associated with the CIA program. At 73, Shaw has survived addiction, arrests, Hollywood, decades on the road and a life that reads more like fiction than biography. It’s the story of a man who lived on the edge of celebrity, addiction, art and self destruction, survived it all, and came out the other side with an entirely different view of reality. Follow US!

    She Couldn’t Lose Weight Until She Fixed This | Mariam Hakopyan

    After brain tumor scares, cancer, autoimmune issues, neurological problems and three invasive lipedema surgeries, Mariam Hakopyan reached a point where she stopped waiting for someone else to fix her health. Her own experience eventually led her to build Empower Wellness Spa in Encino, where she focuses heavily on lymphatic health, red light therapy, vibration therapy, ozone sauna and noninvasive body treatments. In this episode, Mariam breaks down what lipedema actually looks like, why patients can struggle with disproportionate fat and painful nodules, and what happened after three surgeries left her dealing with fibrosis, inflammation and a long recovery process. She says one of the biggest lessons from that experience was how little attention people give their lymphatic system. Mariam explains why she believes movement, lymphatic drainage and detoxification became major pieces of her recovery. After changing her routine and cutting most grains from her diet, she says she lost more than 30 pounds in roughly three and a half months without another invasive procedure. If you've ever wondered whether inflammation, lymphatic stagnation and recovery are being overlooked in the modern health conversation, this episode will make you think differently about what may be happening beneath the surface.

    Ex-Freemason Exposes Secret Societies, Demons, Adrenochrome, and Government Secrets

    Sean Stone’s journey into Freemasonry led him into a world of occult rituals, strange encounters, and unsettling questions. In this episode of the Truth Hurts Show, he takes us inside his experiences with Freemasonry, secret societies, occult traditions, unexplained encounters, UFOs, AI, Epstein, adrenochrome and the hidden structures he believes influence the world around us. Sean opens up about being initiated into Freemasonry and explains why he views it as an initiatory tradition rather than simply a secret society. But his story takes a much stranger turn when he describes mysterious phone calls that appeared to coincide with his initiation and later occult experimentation. He recounts receiving disturbing calls from unknown numbers, including one after experimenting with writings attributed to John Dee, the Elizabethan scholar associated with Enochian occult practices. Sean also explains why he believes life is ultimately about transformation and why spirituality, suffering and constantly confronting new perspectives have shaped his worldview. Whether you believe Sean's interpretations or question every one of them, this conversation will challenge you to think about secrecy, spirituality, power and how easily the line between documented history, personal experience and speculation can disappear. This isn't a surface level conversation. It's a 69 minute trip straight down the rabbit hole.  Follow US!

    DARPA Insider Reveals Technology 20 Years Ahead Of The Public | Gerard Gibbons

    What if the technology that feels futuristic today was already being developed decades ago? Dr. Gerard Gibbons spent decades telling stories for some of the most advanced organizations in government, defense, medicine, and technology. His career eventually brought him into the world of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, where he was tasked with taking complex technologies and turning them into stories that decision makers, doctors, military leaders, and the public could understand. Gerard says some of the technology he encountered was 10 to 20 years ahead of what the public was seeing at the time. In this episode, Gerard takes Brian and Makan inside the early days of robotic surgery, virtual reality, combat medicine, remote medical care, and the technological ecosystem that helped produce innovations we now take for granted. He explains why DARPA understood something many brilliant scientists overlook: having revolutionary technology means nothing if nobody understands why it matters. Finally, the conversation returns to the future. Gerard shares his concerns about artificial intelligence, authenticity, complacency, and what happens when technology begins advancing faster than even the people creating it can fully understand. This episode will change the way you think about DARPA, storytelling, technological innovation, AI, and the history hiding inside our own families. The future does not begin when the public sees it. Sometimes the story starts decades earlier. Follow US!

    The Metabolic Health Expert: Why Fixing Your Gut Will Change Your Entire Health | Jay Moon

    After helping a close friend navigate cancer and later receiving his own cancer diagnosis, Jay Moon began questioning everything he believed about medicine, nutrition, parasites, inflammation, and metabolic health. In this episode, Jay explains why he believes gut health is the foundation of the immune system, how parasites may influence fatigue, brain fog, skin problems, and sugar cravings, and what can happen when people attempt aggressive parasite cleanses without preparing their bodies first. He also shares his personal experience with male breast cancer, why he chose not to pursue a biopsy or surgery, and the metabolic health protocol he followed instead. The conversation explores amygdalin, commonly called B17 or laetrile, cannabinoid supplementation, fermented foods, trace minerals, sodium, fasting, ketogenic diets, and the intense reaction known as Herxing. This conversation contains controversial health claims and personal experiences that should not be treated as medical advice. Always speak with a qualified medical professional before changing treatment, taking supplements, or attempting a parasite cleanse.

    Dating Experts Reveal What Women Actually Want From Men | Dana Strokovsky & Nicole Catino (Tawkify)

Professional matchmakers Dana Strokovsky and Nicole Catino from Tawkify, America's largest matchmaking company, join the Truth Hurts Show to expose what's really happening behind modern dating.

The discussion dives into why so many singles continue choosing the wrong partners, what men and women actually want versus what they claim to want, how chemistry really works, the biggest dating "icks," first date etiquette, who should pay the bill, and why professional matchmaking is making a comeback in an age dominated by swiping. Whether you're single, divorced, dating, or happily married, this episode will challenge your assumptions about attraction, relationships, communication, and finding the right person.
