  3 Hour Global Secrets Deep Dive!: Reptilian World Leaders, MK Ultra, the CIA, Hollywood, Mind Control and More! 02.10.2026 3Std. 6Min.

  In this episode, we sit down with an absolute powerhouse crew—Kurt Metzger, JP Sears, Kyle Cease, and the rest of the boys—for what might be the most unhinged, off-the-rails three hours we’ve ever recorded. Kurt showed up in a full ghillie suit, and from there, all bets were completely off. We dive headfirst into the deep state, breaking down everything from Tucker Carlson’s leaked Oval Office conversations with Trump and politicians calling world leaders "reptiles," to the CIA, government programming, and the dark truth behind the "gas station heroin" epidemic sweeping the country. Nothing was off-limits, and we pulled absolutely no punches on the corruption happening right in front of our eyes.But it wasn’t all just wild rabbit holes and comedy chaos. We actually got into some incredibly raw, human territory, especially when Kyle Cease opened up about the brutal, toxic reality of the standup comedy world. He breaks down the betrayal he faced from other comics and the intense panic attacks that ultimately led to him walking away from the stage and having a massive spiritual awakening. It's a roller coaster of a conversation that goes from cracking jokes to deep psychological truths without missing a beat.

  How Close is America to Falling Like Rome? The Rise, Fall, and Lessons of Rome | Jeremy Slate 28.09.2026 1Std. 31Min.

  Ep 97 | In this episode, I'm joined by Jeremy Slate, an absolute stud when it comes to the history of ancient Rome. We get raw and unfiltered on a topic that’s been blowing up recently, and it’s not just a trend—it’s crucial. We’re dissecting the "Roman Pattern," analyzing how the fall of the Roman Republic and the eventual collapse of the Western Empire are eerily paralleling modern-day America. We deep dive into the 'death rattles' of a failing civilization, specifically monetary debasement and uncontrollable inflation, the complete inability to secure or control national borders, and the toxic political culture that targeted competent men because they were seen as a threat. Jeremy breaks down the difference between a falling republic and a collapsing empire, and why this perspective is essential right now.But this isn't just a bleak look at history. We also get into the grit of Roman culture—the true history of the Colosseum games, the naval battles they had in the arena, and the wild, often hedonistic stories of some of their rulers, from a teenage emperor who worshipped a black rock to Augustus, the propaganda master who created an empire while pretending to save a republic. Jeremy shows off some incredible, authentic Roman coins, which visually demonstrate the literal flaking away of their currency as confidence imploded. The goal of this conversation isn't about doom and gloom; it's about holding up a mirror so we can see where we stand on this timeline and learn the critical lessons needed to avoid making the exact same mistakes.

  Shot in the Head, Written Off, and Brought Back: Urban Rodriguez & Ryan Bachik 21.09.2026 1Std. 55Min.

  In this episode, we sit down with retired Denton police officer Urban Rodriguez and neuro-performance specialist Ryan Bachik (co-owner of REACT and Bachik Methods) for one of the most powerful, emotional conversations we’ve ever had on this show. Back in 2019, Urban survived the unthinkable getting shot in the head and ran over during a routine traffic stop. After surviving multiple brain surgeries, severe infections, and being told by standard medical rehab to just accept a life of disability, Urban refused to quit.Ryan breaks down the exact neuroscience, fascial release techniques, and nervous system reprogramming he used to pull Urban out of fight-or-flight, wake up dormant neural pathways, and get him out of a wheelchair and back on his feet. Later in the episode, Alex Jones joins the table in tears to share how Ryan applied these exact same methods to his father, David Jones, bringing him back from cognitive decline and physical collapse in just three weeks when conventional medicine had completely given up.This isn't just about physical therapy—it's about the will to live, holding onto purpose for your family, and proving that the human body can heal when you refuse to surrender.Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to support stories like this.Connect with our guests:Ryan Bachik: @bachikmethods / @neuroreact on Instagram | https://www.reactsportsmed.comUrban Rodriguez: @urbanrodriguez44 on InstagramThis podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

  "The Two-Party System Is DEAD" What Happens After Trump? The Collapse of MAGA & 2028 Chaos 16.09.2026 2Std. 54Min.

  In this marathon roundtable stream, I brought the boys in, Rex Jones, Gary Faust, Eli Halpern, and Anthony Graffeo, for an absolute no-holds-barred, nearly three-hour war room on the state of the world right now. We started off talking about doomsday survival scenarios, what you actually grab in a five-minute bugout bag, and why modern society is completely unprepared for what’s coming. But once Gary walked in, the gloves came off and things got heated across the table.We went deep into the weeds on the collapse of the two-party system, what the political landscape actually looks like post-Trump, and why the establishment is terrified of an independent populist uprising. From breaking down the glaring security failures and missing pieces behind high-profile political hits like Charlie Kirk and Butler, to diving into Austin’s own dark local mysteries with the Rainey Street Ripper, nothing was off-limits. Add in wild personal stories about DMT entities, psychedelic encounters, media blacklists, and the gritty reality of building independent platforms outside the algorithm, and you get one of the most intense, unscripted conversations we’ve ever put on this channel.Make sure to like, share, and subscribe to keep conversations like this alive.

  The Testosterone Collapse Nobody Wants to Admit | Mike Stratton (Marek Health) 14.09.2026 1Std. 42Min.

  In this episode, I sit down with Mike Stratton, the co-founder of Marek Health, to get into the raw truth about what’s actually happening to men’s health, energy, and physical performance across the country. Coming out of the military, I’ve seen firsthand how a broken system leaves guys feeling completely burnt out, beat down, and running on empty—and the standard medical establishment just looks at your lab work and tells you you’re "normal" while your quality of life is down the drain. Mike and I dive deep into why that definition of normal is total bullshit, breaking down the massive decline in testosterone, the reality of high-performance burnout, and how hidden toxins like microplastics and heavy metals are wrecking our bodies from the inside out.From building Marek Health alongside Derek from More Plates More Dates to cracking the code on his own genetic health battles, Mike shares the unfiltered blueprint for taking ownership of your own biology with real diagnostic blood work, peptides, and smart hormone optimization. But things take a wild turn in the second half when Mike opens up about an intense, three-hour close encounter in his own backyard that completely flipped his perspective on reality, leading straight into a life-changing journey with ibogaine, faith, and finding true purpose. This is a wide-open conversation about physical resilience, spiritual awakening, and refusing to let the modern world drain the fight out of you.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

  On the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death at Utah Valley University, eyewitness Skyler Baird joins the podcast to share his raw, firsthand account from just ten feet away. What began as a spontaneous decision to attend the event quickly turned into a front-row nightmare when gunfire erupted, sending shockwaves across the country.In this candid conversation, Skyler walks through the chaos of the immediate aftermath, detailing the severe lapses in venue security, the panic near the stage, and the split-second decisions that followed. We examine the major anomalies surrounding the case—from questions about ballistic trajectories and strange behavior on the scene to the rushed repaving of the courtyard and the media fallout that has divided millions over the past year.

  Episode 92 | In this episode of the Shawn Johnson Podcast, I sit down with Harrison Smith, host of The War Room on the Alex Jones Network, for an unfiltered conversation examining America's political, economic, and cultural direction. We break down the growing identity crisis within the conservative movement, the sudden shifts in foreign policy priorities, and why voters across the spectrum feel increasingly alienated by both major political establishments.Harrison shares his perspective on the rapid rollout of domestic surveillance infrastructure, the economic pressures quietly dismantling the middle class, and the lingering questions surrounding high-profile political events and media narratives from the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting to the ongoing controversies in the Charlie Kirk investigation.

  Episode 91 | In this episode of the Shawn Johnson Podcast, I sit down with Tim Anderson, founder of Invader Concepts, to break down the gritty, unfiltered journey of building a powerhouse American manufacturing brand from the ground up. Starting ten years ago making custom holsters in a small kitchen and trailer, Tim navigated extreme debt, bad partnerships, and constant relocations before scaling into an 11,000-square-foot facility in Kalispell, Montana.We dive deep into the hidden costs of domestic manufacturing, the complex engineering required for tactical and backcountry gear, and why maintaining 98%+ American-made sourcing is worth the uphill battle. Tim also shares his raw insights on balancing extreme work ethic with fatherhood, navigating personal resets, and applying the power of manifestation and mindset to push through rock bottom. Whether discussing backcountry predator defense, mission-critical holster reliability, or the discipline needed to lead a high-performing team, this conversation delivers an honest look at what it truly takes to produce at the highest level.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

  Episode 87 | In this episode, I sit down with Leo Young and Roman, the co-founders of Exalt XP, to break down the next evolution of human adaptation and performance training. These guys have built something truly game-changing: a modular studio combining simulated high-altitude hypoxic training, infrared heat, and red light therapy into one flat-pack system. We dive deep into the science of the "regulation period"—learning how to master emotional composure, control the primitive fight-or-flight response when your oxygen drops, and why everyone from NFL teams like the New York Giants to hunters and tactical operators are looking at this tech to gain an edge under extreme stress.We also get real about the mental side of performance, resilience, and what it actually takes to overcome adversity. Leo opens up about surviving a massive nervous breakdown after decades of unchecked drive, and Roman shares how leaning into faith, humility, and breathwork helped him turn dark seasons into massive personal growth. Whether we’re talking Navy SEAL shoot houses, the truth about running shoes and human biomechanics, or how teaching kids emotional regulation early on dictates life success, this conversation is packed with raw insights on building real grit.

From Michael Knowles declining the moderator chair to the massive money surrounding the event, we look at whether this debate offers genuine answers or if it has evolved into a serialized media circus.

  The Dark Side of Stand-Up Comedy: Jealousy, Tribes, & Toxic Politics | Jeff Dye 12.08.2026 1Std. 19Min.

  Jeff Dye stops by to pull back the curtain on the real LA comedy scene, setting the record straight on why he’s leaving California’s hyper-political bubble behind. From catching a fellow comic writing insults on his CyberTruck on camera to facing cold shoulders for refusing to echo Hollywood politics, Jeff exposes the myth of the "comedy brotherhood." He breaks down how jealousy, tribalism, and petty spite drive the underbelly of the industry, and why stand-up has become a minefield for anyone who dares to hold a different opinion.The conversation goes far beyond industry drama, tackling the deeper cultural fractures dividing the country today. Jeff delves into his blue-collar roots, his unshakeable mindset, and his experiences with psychedelics, AI, and personal faith. He shares his perspective on how modern media profits off keeping people divided, why genuine human connection beats group identity, and why the energy in Texas is pulling him away from the West Coast for good.This podcast depends on sponsors and donors to exist, if you resonate with what we are developing here and wish to help keep it going, our donation link is below.

  He Ran 500 Miles from Colorado to Moab On Psychedelics | Dante Liberado and Fernando Gonzalez 09.08.2026 1Std. 46Min.

  Episode 84 | In this episode, I’m sitting down with ultra-endurance runner Dante Liberado and filmmaker Fernando Gonzalez to talk about one of the most insane, mind-bending documentaries you’ll ever see: Dante 500. We dig deep into Dante’s epic nine-and-a-half-day, 500-mile run from Colorado Springs all the way to Moab, Utah—a grueling trek he took on while using psychedelics to push past normal human limits. Fernando breaks down what it was like trying to capture that raw physical toll on camera, switching gears from a technical running film to catching the real, unfiltered mental battles happening out on the trail.But this conversation goes way beyond just running or taking medicine in the desert. We get into what it actually means to be a man in today's world, dealing with built-up pressure, facing trauma head-on, and why having a real tribe of brothers around you makes all the difference when you're going through hell. Whether you're interested in the science of human performance, extreme endurance, or just finding out what happens when you strip away all the BS and face yourself, this episode is a masterclass in suffering, survival, and brotherhood.

  Jesse Merl on Charlie Kirk Updates, Opioid Recovery, Family Preparedness, Israel-Iran & a Texas Fire Revelation 06.08.2026 2Std. 16Min.

  YouTuber and commentator Jesse Merl (Jesse ON FIRE) joins for a wide-ranging conversation blending current events, personal redemption, and practical wisdom.

  Army veteran and viral content creator Evan Slaughter (Fit2Serve) shares his raw journey from the battlefield to redemption. A Birmingham, Alabama native who enlisted as an 11 Bravo infantryman, Evan deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. Serving as gunner in the lead truck, he was injured by an IED, earned a Purple Heart and Combat Infantry Badge, yet chose to complete the full deployment rather than leave for surgery. Pain medication reignited a prior struggle, leading to years of opiate addiction, PTSD, weight gain, and multiple rehabs after leaving the Army in 2014.  In 2021, a three-month inpatient program finally brought sobriety. There he discovered pickleball, reignited his passion for fitness, and pursued comedy—launching viral videos that now inspire millions with laughter and honesty. Evan discusses the power of humor as medicine, transforming personal pain into purpose, the challenges of veteran mental health, and how sharing his story of resilience helps others break free from addiction and hopelessness. A powerful episode on turning rock bottom into a platform for hope, fitness, and unfiltered comedy.  #EP82 #EvanSlaughter #Fit2Serve #PurpleHeart #ArmyVeteran #AddictionRecovery #PTSD #ComedyCures #Pickleball #VeteranStories #Redemption #Resilience #Sobriety #FitnessJourney #LaughterIsMedicine

  Arvis Owens Advocates for Thousands of Service Members Failed by Military Justice System 04.08.2026 1Std. 15Min.

  Former Navy Commander and 1995 Naval Academy graduate Arvis Owens briefly shares his own experience of false sexual assault accusations that ended his career with a dismissal and years on the sex offender registry—despite acquittals on most charges and later jury concerns. The heart of this episode centers on his powerful advocacy work exposing how the military justice system has failed thousands of service members through similar case studies.  Owens details systemic breakdowns: convictions without solid probable cause, non-unanimous panels, restricted evidence access, intense external pressures, and lifelong consequences like registry placement, employment barriers, and family destruction even in questionable or overturned cases. Drawing from a vast collection of real stories involving sexual assault, harassment, and related charges, he highlights patterns of injustice across branches, the lack of independent reviews, and the urgent need for reforms that restore due process for those who serve. A critical examination of how the system designed to protect can instead ruin lives on a massive scale.  #EP81 #ArvisOwens #MilitaryJustice #FalseAccusations #UCMJ #WrongfulConvictions #ServiceMembers #DueProcess #Advocacy #SystemicFailure #SexOffenderRegistry #JusticeReform #NavyCommander #ProtectOurTroops #InnocentUntilProvenGuilty
