    Here’s 5 stars for ya Tommy. I left a 1 star review with a dear John review attached a couple months ago… I had become tired of the mental gymnastics it was requiring me to continue listening to your show with the cadre of mealy mouth guests, from some woman basically saying Revelation in the Bible didn’t matter to much (I’m paraphrasing ) to the last dude I heard hailing the Trump administration and his cabinet picks of high sus individuals (his trust in Susie Wiles was my breaking point)… and ... more

  • Real, Raw and enlightening

    Tommy has conversations that come without a script, without a prompter, without a producer - which is mind-blowing considering the depth of subject matter he gets into with an incredible lineup of guests. Tommy is actually interested in what his guests have to say, something often lost in the sea of insincere “influencers” just clamoring for more “likes.”

    Tommy is a real as they come and Year Zero has become a can’t miss listen in my podcast feed.

The Serenity of Christ and the Horrors of War w/Dave DeCamp
Q: What pushed you toward a deeper faith and ultimately Catholic Orthodoxy in your journey?

Pay yourself first, always set aside a portion for savings and investments before paying other bills.
Financial Trouble w/Jason Mironchuck
Q: What do you think about the bond market and tariffs?
The bond market is on the verge of collapse, heavily influenced by political maneuvers, and Trump's tariffs seem to be a tactic to manage economic pressures.

Yes, especially in the current administration aligns more with blue-collar worker interests compared to the previous one.
