    I love Zuby’s calm and common sense podcast. He has terrific guests and shines a light on the absurdity of wokeness and the main stream media’s narrative.

  • Eclectic Content Mix

    I’m not in the expected demographic for Zuby’s content (I’m an elderly woman.) He has great interviews & insight for young men (finance, fitness, relationships.) I follow Zuby for his interesting interviews about politics & some health & science news. Of the interviews that pique my curiosity, I’m disappointed when the show ends too soon!

    You had Nate Lewis on your show? His advice was awful as a parent and once you dig into his story stuff doesn’t add up.

  • No Bryson

    Sorry but the Bryson Gray interview was cringeworthy and downright embarrassing. His constant use of “You know what I’m sayin” and the lack of proper grammar turned me off. I had to turn it off. Sorry Zaby. I love you but this interview was an epic fail. With the money Bryson made from his music, he could have invested in a speaking coach.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#428 Maj Toure - The Media Is Lying to You About America
Q: How do you see the role of media and social platforms in shaping public perception?
He argues platforms incentivize division and negative engagement for ad revenue, but also notes that most people are decent and that nuanced, data-driven dialogue can counteract this if we value real-world interactions and education over online battles.
#428 Maj Toure - The Media Is Lying to You About America
Q: What are your current thoughts on the state of the USA?
Maj expresses dis enchantment and disappointment with civic engagement, propaganda, and online vitriol, while emphasizing the need for real-world civics education, local involvement, and constructive solutions rather than divisive rhetoric.
#422 Kashif Khan - You're Not Supposed to Get Sick
Q: What role does functional testing play in personal health decisions?
Functional testing helps identify individual biological gaps and strengths (gut microbiome, genetics, hormones, toxins, infectious load) so a person can target interventions rather than guessing.
#412 Ashley Rindsberg - Who Controls What You Know
Q: Got it. There's something you said there earlier because it resonated with me; how do you see the future of information control evolving as AI agents become more capable?
The guest explains that AI agents will likely amplify and accelerate propaganda and information warfare, making it crucial to understand the mechanics behind campaigns and to maintain vigilance, skepticism, and deliberate consumption to preserve agency and truth.
#410 Is AI a Threat to Your Faith? Building a Christian Alternative - Dominion AI Team
Q: What should listeners know about using Dominion for kids or education?
Dominion emphasizes safety for kids, directs personal questions to humans, and provides practical business or coding assistance, all within guardrails aligned to biblical creational order.
