Clancy Jurors, He’s Just a Friend, Homerun Story

In this episode, I continue my discussion on the Lindsay Clancy trial, focusing heavily on the jurors and their perceived intelligence. I break down the defense attorney's tactics and how easily the jury seemed to be swayed by emotion over the facts of the case. Finally, I explore the broader societal implications of the verdict and what it says about the current state of our justice system. Then, I take a trip down memory lane to recount a controversial college baseball game against Tulane. I detail the disputed grand slam that was ultimately called foul and the heated altercation with the umpire that led to my ejection. I also touch on my past dating experiences in Houston, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Maria Bartiromo's departure from Fox News, the LSU vs. Clemson college football game, Lululemon's stock, and so much more.

Money Psychology, Crazy NFL Facts, Arguing with the Poors

In this episode, I share a personal update and explain why I didn't release an episode last week. I recently underwent a two-level epidural in my cervical spine at C5, C6, and C7. It was a much more intense experience than my previous procedures, but I'm hopeful it will help me get my life back from chronic neck pain. Then, I get into my latest Twitter beef, or as I like to call it, "arguing with the poors." I break down a recent online spat I had with some communist accounts about billionaires and wealth. It really highlighted the massive gap in reading comprehension and basic economic understanding on social media these days. I also touch on Morgan Housel's The Psychology of Money, some fascinating NFL trivia, the Lindsay Clancy case, Tupac Shakur's murder case, and so much more.

André 3000, Lindsay Clancy, Luke Muller

In this episode, I talk about the Lindsay Clancy case, which has been dominating the news lately. I share my thoughts on the public reaction and the broader societal implications surrounding the story. It's a heavy topic, but one that felt necessary to address given the current climate. Then, I take some time to remember my friend and former college teammate, Luke Muller. I share a tribute to his life, his incredible talent as a baseball player, and some of the memories we shared on the field. It's a somber reflection on a life gone too soon, and my thoughts are with his family. I also cover other topics, such as the Derek Chauvin trial, Eric Swalwell, upcoming Apple AirPods features, a few of my favorite funny posts online, the passing of Hayden Panettiere, and many more.

I Think I Know: Living Through Covid Era, Frozen Eggs & Tucking Your Junk

We are back in the States after an awesome summer in Medellin, Colombia. We really enjoyed the culture, the people, and the food during our stay. Fortunately, we left just two days before a major earthquake struck the region, though our friends there reported that Medellin was largely spared from the worst of the damage. In this episode, I break down the recent CNN interview between Dana Bash and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding public health policies and the COVID-19 pandemic. They discussed the impacts of lockdowns, the origins of the virus, and the ongoing debate surrounding vaccine safety and mandates. It was a fiery conversation that highlighted the deep divisions over how the pandemic was handled. I also touch on a variety of other topics, including a new set of funny online posts, AOC freezing her eggs, the WNBA, tucking your junk, money & investment updates, and so much more.

Dr. Fauci, Sinaloa Cartel, Romo DUI, Andrew Tate, Psychedelic Reset

I start this episode by discussing the recent life sentence of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, the founder of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel. This news hits close to home as I share some of my own personal experiences dealing with the cartel during one of the darkest periods of my life. Although it was a terrifying ordeal, surviving those intense emotions and fear has ultimately given me a much deeper appreciation for my life today. It is a stark reminder of how far I have come and how much my perspective on materialism and relationships has changed for the better. I then dive into the latest surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci, discussing his recent Senate committee hearing where he pleaded the fifth, the contents of his released diary, and the broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic response. I also touch on other topics, such as money stuff, the Minnesota madness, Romo DUI, Andrew Tate, psychedelic reset, and so much more.

Inside the Mind of a 5-Year Old with Aria Dantonio

In this episode, I chat with my 5-year-old daughter about our travels, her favorite foods, the realities of growing up, and whatever else crosses her mind. She may be little, but she has huge aspirations and a lot of love to give. She shares her ongoing obsession with quesadillas and lentils, and gives her take on the fundamental differences between boys and girls. We also dive into our recent travels, from our past trip to Estonia to our current stay in Medellin, Colombia. I ask her about her top travel destinations—Costa Rica is still a favorite—and we discuss the challenges of learning to ride a big-girl bike without training wheels. Her future plans caught me by surprise. She has everything figured out, from teaching fifth grade to eventually stepping back from the classroom to become a mom. Spending this time with her is a wonderful reminder to slow down and appreciate the small moments that make life truly special.

2026 Fun Facts, Ibogaine Success, Medellín Cost Breakdown (from Medellín)

I start this episode sharing some fascinating facts from the first half of 2026. I cover everything from personal finance and the rising median age of first-time homebuyers to the massive growth in sports betting. I also touch on global trade shifts, the increasing demand for electricity, and some surprising statistics about everyday life. The world around us is changing fast. Then I get into the best thing that happened to me this past week. I share a personal story about a friend overcoming an 18-year opiate addiction using Ibogaine. It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking up, asking for help, and the life-changing impact of having a supportive community. I also touch on the England vs. Argentina World Cup match, the cost of living in Medellín, funny online posts, AI and technology, socioeconomics, and much more.

Dr. Drew, 72 Minutes to Chaos, America’s Exceptional (from Medellín)

This episode kicks off with Dr. Drew’s discussion with retired Intel officer Drew Miller about societal collapse and grid-down scenarios. Miller warns that in the event of a total grid failure, chaos could erupt in as little as 72 minutes, with millions of gang members and prisoners turning into marauders. We would need weapons, self-defense, community, and "prepping," painting a stark picture of how modern dependency on government and technology could accelerate a swift breakdown of order. Then I dive into American exceptionalism, reflecting on how the United States has repeatedly shown its unique character throughout history. From fighting a war within itself to end slavery, to rebuilding former enemies like Japan and Germany after World War II, America’s capacity for self-correction and generosity is unlike any other nation. America remains exceptional. I also touch on World Cup updates, lying, jury duty experiences, funny online posts, modern feminism, and much more.

Soccer, Coffee, Withdrawals, Anchor Babes (from Medellín)

I start this episode with coffee and caffeine, getting into Michael Pollan’s book—This Is Your Mind on Plants. I share how caffeine affects us—our alertness, productivity, and why we love it so much. I explore the history of coffee, its introduction to Europe, its role in achievement, and the surprising health benefits and risks that come with our daily brew. Then I get into soccer and the World Cup. I talk about watching matches in Latin America, the excitement around goals, offsides debates, and why Team USA struggles compared to nations where the sport dominates. I also share funny comments from fans, my own experiences at games, and also touch on the influence of American football on soccer talent. I share funny online posts, money & personal finance, smoking/vaping, the Opium Wars, and much more.

Dream Logic, Stupid American, Crushing Communism (from Medellín)

I start this episode diving into the Joe Rogan Experience episode featuring Chase Hughes, a behavioral expert and military PsyOps trainer. Hughes shared fascinating insights on eliciting information through statements rather than questions, and his discussion about DMT and dream logic was mind-bending. He explained analogies about consciousness, dream perception, and the fractal nature of reality, which had me taking notes. The conversation highlighted how dream experiences can mirror reality and Rogan challenges our understanding of infinity. Then, I cover the political whirlwind in Colombia, where Abelardo “El Tigre” De La Espriella secured victory as the next president. Outgoing President Gustavo Petro reacted with calls to scrutinize the vote and warned of “fascism” if his opposition prevails. The election here reflects growing frustration with narco-economics, as cocaine remains Colombia’s top export and accounts for a notable portion of GDP. El Tigre’s plans for mega-prisons and a tougher stance on cartels have energized Colombians seeking a conservative, security-focused future. Most Colombians I've asked are fans of President Trump. I also touch on global communism, my Songkran experience in Thailand, the doublet earthquake in Venezuela, sports updates, money & investment updates, and so much more.
