  • My new favourite podcast

    Sean, I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into this podcast. The variety of guests and subjects you bring on is incredibly interesting, but what really stands out is the way you ask honest, relatable questions that so many of us are already thinking. You have a way of making conversations feel genuine and human instead of forced or scripted, and that’s rare today.

    As a fellow new Christian, I also want to encourage you in your walk with God. It’s inspiring to see someone open... more

  • Great work!

    We need to get the truth out, you can’t never tell what the truth actually is especially these days so the only way to really get to the bottom of things is to interview people and talk with people all over the country and let people decide for themselves what is true, and this is one great way of doing it!

    Keep interviewing great people and let them tell their story!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#306 Bryce Crawford - Gen Z Evangelist on the Vices Destroying Your Life
Q: What was the turning point that led you to faith?
A combination of depression, near-suicide, and a personal encounter with Jesus after praying and reading scripture, which culminated in surrender and a renewed sense of purpose.
#304 Chris Bayless - 30 Years Undercover Inside America's Most Violent Gangs
Q: What was the core strategy when you first approached bikers like the Outlaws or Hell's Angels?
Start with establishing credibility and a non-threatening presence, then use informants and surveillance to build probable cause for searches and arrests, gradually layering evidence to support RICO charges rather than rushing to patch-in.
#295 Samuel Reineberg - First-Hand Account of the Old Dominion Terrorist Attack
Q: What class is this ROTC senior military science class?
It's the senior ROTC military science class taught by Colonel Shaw, focusing on combatant command briefs and transportation/logistics topics.
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?
Q: What roadblocks exist in the current medical establishment to drug repurposing, and how can individuals push for these changes?
The main barrier is profitability: most existing drugs are generic, so there's little financial incentive to repurpose them. The solution lies in a combination of philanthropy, government funding, and innovative models (like ARPA-H partnerships) to subsidize and de-risk repurposing efforts and scale outcomes.
#291 Joe Kent - His Message to President Trump on Ending the War With Iran
Q: Is he for this?
The guest expresses uncertainty and suggests there are multiple voices and positions, not a clear stance from Rubio.
