On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian theorizes Europe's ban on AC is by design to implement a Canada MAID style culling of the older population. Also: Supergirl predictably bombs, SCOTUS rules on birthright citizenship, Dem Socialists rack up wins, and John C. Reily makes an ass out of himself about "Empathy."

Mitchell Suchner, director of Arkpad, joins John Odermatt from his floating resort in the Philippines to discuss how seasteading is moving from theory to operational reality. Arkpad has deployed 14 floating Airbnb units, five large fish cages, and a working resort off the coast of Davao City — all built for under $50,000 per unit using fiberglass and stainless steel. Mitchell explains the two core structure types (the Glamp House and the oil-rig-inspired Ark Pad), the engineering challenges of open-sea conditions, and how international flagging laws create a surprisingly libertarian legal framework for life at sea. The conversation covers who seasteading is re...

Michael Murphy is a systems administrator from Chicago's Austin neighborhood running for Cook County Board President - as an independent - against one of the most entrenched political machines in America. No corporate PACs. No consultants. No backup.

So what happens when a guy who fixes broken systems for a living looks at Cook County government and decides the whole thing just needs a reboot?

In this episode, Brian sits down with Murphy to break down his "People Over Politics" pitch - cutting waste without cutting services, consolidating a transit mess three decades...

Meghan Murphy is a writer, podcaster, and one of the original people to get canceled on Twitter — permanently banned in 2018 for tweeting "men aren't women, though" and referring to a man who wanted to get his testicles waxed as "him." She's been writing and podcasting independently ever since, and she now lives in Mexico.

We talked about: the tweet that got her banned and the Yaniv waxing lawsuits that triggered it; Canada's Bill C16 and what it actually means to have gender identity law on the books; losing venues, hiring private security, and getting st...

Most fitness programs are designed for people who are already in shape — but what about everyone else? In this episode of Finding Freedom, host John welcomes back certified personal trainer and health coach Jason Gagne, creator of the Good to Go Body 90-day program, built specifically for people starting from scratch. Jason shares his remarkable personal story of rebuilding his body after a series of childhood surgeries that left him bedridden for years, and how that experience shaped a training philosophy rooted in patience, flexibility, and consistency over intensity. The two dig into why flexibility — not strength — is the key to...

Keith Erwood, business continuity and disaster recovery expert, joins Brian Nichols to reveal how a guy with a box of donuts walked into a company and stole the keys to their entire network - and why 40% of small businesses never reopen after a major disaster. No firewall stopped him. No alarm went off. He just smiled, handed over donuts, and photographed the passwords taped to people's monitors. This is the gap between the cybersecurity you THINK you have... and the social engineering, ransomware, and crisis events actually hitting small businesses in 2026.
We expose the uncomfortable truth most owners...

Transgender "authority" known for publishing studies about suicidal youth and the benefits of hormonal and surgical procedures for minors, WPATH, has been sued by the Federal Trade Commission for horribly misleading the public. Also: Trump signs MOU with Iran, ending the war and opening up oil sales to the world - a huge game changer.

On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian wonders if the proposed end of the Iran war is actually Israel's worst nightmare: the normalization of relations between the USA and Iran. Also: CA is forcing through billions in unconstitutional projects earmarked only for LGBTQ businesses, while also proposing to force digital map apps to reroute drivers to "fight climate change" with AB15.

Most Americans — across every party, gender, and demographic — agree that only US citizens should vote in US elections, yet here we are having to fight for something that sounds like the most obvious principle in the world. I sat down with Jack Tomczak from Americans for Citizen Voting to break down exactly how we got here: a constitutional loophole that could allow non-citizens to vote in congressional elections if a state legalizes non-citizen voting at the state legislative level. Jack's organization has already amended the constitutions of 15 states to close this door, and now they're pushing House Joint Resolution 152 thro...

On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian is sickened by the anti-white racism on display by ignorant protestors who think Karmelo Anthony should walk free, then walks through the fraudulent ballot harvesting from LA's new power voting bloc: homeless people.

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 ahe...

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...

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 We...

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.

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 H...

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 g...

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...

Brian is back from the National Convention, where some major motions were made, and later is joined by Mary Hebert and Josh Castro of the California Convention of the States. Is the time right for a COS, and is this the only way we'll finally reign in government abuses of power?

Author, financial analyst, and former Green Beret E.M. Burlingame joins John Odermatt to expose a 400-year-old predatory financial system — what he calls the "Financialist Kill Chain" — and argues that the same seven-step playbook used to hollow out empires throughout history is now being run on the United States. Burlingame traces the system's origins from the Praetorians of Rome through Venice, Amsterdam, and finally to the City of London, which he describes as a separate financial power occupying the Anglosphere since 1688. The conversation covers how debt, asset seizure, economic destabilization, and elite coercion have been used as weapons against civi...

Dr. Tamara Patzer joins Brian Nichols to reveal AI suggestibility and why most experts are completely invisible to AI right now. The blue links are gone. Clickability has dropped over 50%. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity are now the new gatekeepers deciding who gets recommended... and most business owners, consultants, and authority figures have no canonical source of truth telling AI who they actually are.

Inside, you'll hear the uncensored breakdown of how AI suggestibility actually works... why AI can only suggest and never recommend... and the exact source of truth framework Dr. Tammy uses to lock...

Donald Trump sold out to Israel, and Boomers are the most gullible idiots on the planet. That's the conclusion after one of the few principled conservative / libertarian Congressmen is ousted under millions in AIPAC spending.

A salary feels safe — until you realize it's a cage. In this solo episode, host John Odermatt shares the story of being unexpectedly laid off after 16 years in corporate America and how it forced him to confront how little control he had over his own income. He introduces the "eat what you kill" mindset — the idea that income should be a direct reflection of your skill, effort, and output. John breaks down the hidden trade-offs of salaried work, including the illusion of security and the slow erosion of purchasing power through inflation. He contrasts the salary cage with the hunt...

Former U.S. Congressman Bob Inglis joins Brian Nichols to make the "conservative" case for a carbon tax and why most Republican voters keep rejecting his free-market climate proposal. Inside, we dig into the Raise Wages Cut Carbon Act, the Milton Friedman defense of pricing pollution, and the border adjustment mechanism Inglis says could force China to follow America's lead on emissions.
We expose the structural cracks in the "revenue-neutral" carbon tax pitch... why the social cost of carbon swings from $42 to $190 depending on who's running Washington... and the uncomfortable fact that every country that's tried this policy...

On this week's Mean Age Daydream: Wholesale prices have skyrocketed 6% and Americans are being submitted to yet another litany of abuse from bad policy from the Trump administration, and reckless spending. Also: VA Dems have an insane plane to claw back the Virginia redistricting gerrymander struck down by their own appointed Supreme Court.

Dr. Marissa Heisel joins Brian Nichols to break down why WebMD is making women sicker, not healthier... and why the self-diagnosing epidemic is exploding right now. After 27 years as a holistic chiropractor and midwifery-trained practitioner, Dr. Heisel has watched women trade their inner knowing for a search bar. The result? More anxiety, worse outcomes, and a generation of women who can't trust the one doctor who actually lives inside them.

Inside this episode, we expose the uncomfortable truth nobody on cable news will touch... how the Rockefeller medicine system buried homeopathy, why Canadian chiropractors got a letter...

On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian looks at how all of the services (welfare, SNAP, free healthcare) are creating an entire society that doesn't want to take part in civil culture. Also: Animal Farm tanks hard, and California's ridiculous climate policies lead to a catastrophe when a massive fire breaks out in an abandoned oil tunnel.

Salih Hudayar is the Foreign Minister and former Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government in Exile. He was born in East Turkistan, fled to the United States as a political refugee at age 7, and has spent his life working to bring international attention to what the US government and over a dozen Western parliaments have formally recognized as a genocide.

We covered: how China invaded and occupied East Turkistan in 1949 with Stalin's help; the 1996 secret document that became the blueprint for genocidal policy; how China created a fake jihadist organization to justify its...

In this eye-opening episode, host John Odermatt sits down with Dr. Darrell Wolfe — a doctor of natural medicine with 45 years of frontline healing experience — to challenge everything conventional medicine tells us about chronic disease. Dr. Wolfe argues that autoimmune disease, cancer, and heart disease as we know them don't actually exist — they are all downstream effects of a neglected large intestine, toxic modern environments, and systemic poisoning through food, water, and air. He explains how leaky gut leads to leaky brain, why lipopolysaccharoids flood the bloodstream and trigger inflammation, and how the body's electrical and electromagnetic nature is being suppre...

Energy analyst Isaac Orr joins Brian Nichols to reveal the real reason your electric bill is exploding and why monopoly utility companies (not AI or data centers) are jacking up your rates right now. Indiana electricity rates are climbing almost twice as fast as the national average. Coal plants are getting prematurely shut down. Wind, solar, and battery storage are getting bolted onto the grid... and YOU pay for it through something called the cost-of-service formula.

Inside, Isaac exposes the regulatory scam buried inside every state utility commission - the formula that lets monopoly utilities charge you...

On this week's Mean Age Daydream, Brian reacts to the nation-changing impact of the SCOTUS ruling against racially gerrymandered districts. Also: Dems desperately cling to false stats on political violence, and the Biden admin secretly gave Planned Parenthood SBA loans then covered up the trail.

Victor Varnado is many things: standup comedian, founder of Supreme Robot, King Super Nuts, and the man behind the Worldwide Tic-Tac-Toe Championship. He's also the guy who built disability gaming tech worth $500K — and never saw a dime.

Lou sits down with Victor for one of the more wide-ranging conversations we've had on this show: Richard Pryor's evolution as a performer, what a histology class taught Victor about how history gets told, the UCB rap battle comedy scene, why AI is "like discovering electricity," and how you turn tic-tac-toe into a global competitive sport.

Host John Odermatt interviews Edward Brady, a former SEC examiner with 25 years in financial oversight and author of the upcoming book “Awaken Your Financial Star.” Brady explains why people feel financially behind despite higher incomes, citing inflation and lifestyle creep, and contrasts Sylvia Bloom’s $8M savings success with Warren Sapp’s bankruptcy. He outlines practical steps like tracking cash flow, using employer 401(k) matches, and weighing traditional vs Roth IRAs based on future tax expectations. Brady presents his STAR framework—Savings, Time, Assets, Real returns—emphasizing time and compounding, and discusses matching asset choices to investment horizons rather than predict...
