Why "Christians" Hate Dan McClellan 16.06.2026 58min

At some point you’ve probably heard someone say “the Bible clearly states” followed by. . . well, just about anything. Does God hate gays or love them? Is Jesus the prince of peace [Isiah 9:6], or does he come to bring the sword [Matthew 10:34]? Whatever your political or religious persuasion there always seems to be a passage to back it up. But what does the Bible, REALLY say? Well, to understand that you sort of need to know where the bible comes from.Dan McClellan on YouTube: @maklelan

Wait...are most jobs fake? 27.05.2026 19min

In 2013 the anthropologist David Graeber examined one of the strangest contradictions in modern capitalism: despite exponential gains in productivity, people were working even harder that ever. In his landmark essay called “On the Preponderance of Bullshit Jobs” and then a book a few years later, Graeber showed how as much as 37% of all jobs in capitalist societies are, well, bullshit. Or, to use his own words “where even the person doing the job secretly believes the job really shouldn’t exist.(...) But nonetheless, part of the conditions of employment is that you have to pretend that it does.”Graeber wasn’t the first to notice the problem. Back in 1930 the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that ever-increasing industrial output from factories would make it possible for everyone on earth to work 15 hours a week. Within a few decades the economy met his expectations, but people’s workloads didn’t get lighter. Fast forward to today, and the question of Bullshit jobs is once again on everyone’s lips. Everyone from Bill Gates to Sam Altman and Elon Musk have heralded AI as the new harbinger of the 15 hour work week. After all, the very things that AI is supposedly good at—getting rid of menial intellectual labor and automating digital tasks—are exactly the sorts of things that will get automated away.But here’s the thing, what if bullshit work isn’t a bug in industrial captialsim? But that it is it’s key feature?In this week’s video I dig into why Bullshit work is almost definitely here to stay despite the promises of tech barons.

Why are the Wellness Elite Getting Sepsis? 25.03.2026 26min

Mark Hyman wants you to believe he’s biologically 39 years old. The 66-year-old functional medicine guru and twelve-time New York Times bestselling author has built an empire on the promise that the right combination of supplements, lifestyle changes, and cutting-edge treatments can literally reverse aging. “We can reprogram our genes back to a younger you,” he states in one way or another in countless podcasts. “[At] 63 I could use certain transcription factors and turn my biological clock back to 25. Make my wrinkles go away, my hair turns black, my joints get healthier.”But earlier this year, Hyman revealed something that threatens to undermine his entire brand: he almost died.Not from old age. Not from some unavoidable disease. From sepsis—a severe infection that spread through his spine after what he vaguely described as “a pretty common injection” for back pain.And he’s not alone. Jordan Peterson, the pop psychologist who promotes anti-wokeness as a key to mental well-being, was also hospitalized for sepsis as well. Peterson remains largely out of the public eye, and it’s unclear whether he’ll ever fully return.Here’s where it gets interesting: both men share the same doctor—Adeel Khan, a regenerative medicine physician who runs a string of stem cell clinics out of Mexico, Dubai, and Japan. Khan’s patient roster reads like a who’s who of celebrity wellness: the Kardashians, Tony Robbins, and yes, both Hyman and Peterson.Over the past two months, I’ve been investigating a story that these three highly public medical professionals have taken great pains to keep under wraps. It’s a story about how two of the most prominent wellness influencers in the world promoted Khan’s dubious stem cell therapies, then nearly died while under his care. And even after their close calls, they’ve remained largely silent—because admitting what happened would undermine the very grift pipelines that fund their lifestyles.However, since their legal team has already been in touch, I would like to offer you a necessary disclaimer.Important disclaimer: Everything I present here is my opinion based on investigative work using publicly available information, interviews, and independent analysis. I haven’t directly inspected private medical records, so my conclusions are circumstantial. References to “scams,” “fraud,” or “lies” should not be taken as definitive findings of fact or legal conclusions. No statement should be interpreted as a categorical declaration that any person has violated civil or criminal law unless a court has so ruled. I encourage you to examine the evidence and reach your own conclusions.With that said, let me tell you what I found.

Epstein, Putin, Trump and $60 TRILLION in Dark Money 10.03.2026 1h 2min

The Epstein files are a spotlight into the twisted life of the world’s most notorious sex trafficker and the billionaires and oligarchs that took advantage of young women and children. Even the redacted trove of more than 3 million documents by the Department of Justice proves that his ring of abuse went much farther than just to satisfy his sadism, but that the things that went on in his island were vitally connected to a pool of a dark money empire that exists in parallel to the ordinary economy. But what happens when we look beyond the official government releases and cross reference information in the Epstein files with another investigative journalism goldmine: a 2017 trove of leaked banking documents called “The Paradise Papers”. Read together, these two archives of material tell an even darker story about the real importance of Jeffrey Epstein. Which is why I’ve brought Craig Unger onto the show today. He’s an investigative journalist, former editor of the Boston Magazine and a multi-new york times best selling author who, like the rest of the independent journalists trying to survive the media apocalypse, now writes on Substack. A few weeks ago he broke the Paradise Papers - Epstein connection in a piece titled “Jeffrey Epstein’s Really Big Short.” Craig Unger's Substack: https://craigunger.substack.comEpstein's Really Big Short: https://craigunger.substack.com/p/jeffrey-epsteins-really-big-shortGet Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

The Unfortunate Truth about Wim Hof 03.03.2026 33min

This is my final report on Wim Hof—the charismatic ice-guru who exposed me to the magic of breathwork and cold exposure. Since I first met Hof in 2013 he has become increasingly erratic and even dangerous. Today a new edition of my New York Times bestselling book What Doesn’t Kill Us is officially for sale and I’d love you to pick up a copy or download the audiobook on Audible. (Incidentally, if you already have a copy from Audible you can just re-download the book to access the new files for free).I’m setting the record straight about Hof because of the prominent endorsements I gave him over the course of a decade. I still believe in the transformative power of various environmental exposure and breathwork regimens, it’s just that Wim can no longer be the face of the movement. Over the last two years I’ve collected archival footage of Hof, interviewed dozens of people whose family members’ died following Wim’s instructions and endured near-constant abuse from his cult-like devotees who would rather call me “Judas” in the pantheon of Hof than look at the evidence with clear eyes. The video I’m putting out today collects the most important pieces of Hof’s story that ultimately made me change my mind about him.Official Book Page: https://www.scottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usAudible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B01N5NNZF8/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-077506&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_077506_rh_usAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/What-Doesnt-Kill-Environmental-Conditioning/dp/1635652413/?tag=Foxtopus-20Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

Trump's Diabolical Plan to Gut Women's Rights 10.02.2026 53min

You’ve heard of Project 2025: the manifesto that has become the de facto guiding light for the second Trump administration. Its twisted Christian-nationalist agenda has brought us a wave of ICE raids across America, tax cuts for billionaire, gutted climate policies and using the FBI to prosecute and harass political opponents. Project 2025 was written by the conservative DC think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which recently released a new vision for women’s role in society called “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years” that aims to severely curtail women’s rights, including the right to divorce and maybe even vote. To talk about it today I’ve brought on the New York Times opinion columnist and author of the book “Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood” Jessica Grose onto the show today.Jess Grose on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jessgrosewrites/Her website: https://jessicagrose.com/Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3PyxGKt94kLzVqkkjEgRFw/join
