October surprises? You bet. But how about what’s the one event that constitutes this year’s infamous “October Surprise”. First up, Hurricane Helene – totally normal, right? Or was there maybe a little “weather weaponization” at play? Then, Hollywood delivers yet another surprisingly unsurprising scandal, with P. Diddy front and center. And as if th…

As we predicted in our previous episode, this would be a summer of black swan events, one after another. And, well, some may have been easier to guess than others. Biden's "stepping down" (aka good ole Nancy gave him a little convincing talk that it was time to retire... in reality, it was probably a coup) was a given. However, Americana summer tur…

It’s looking like an Americana Summer & we are all here for it. If 2024 is the feature film, 2020 was the trailer. And although we may know some of the possible plot points, we have zero way of fully telling what’s in store this season with all the twists & turns that have happened & are yet to come as the year continues. Tune in this week to hear …

Just when we thought the 2020 election was behind us, with many of the lawsuits finally being put to bed, a new documentary called "2000 Mules" emerged. The film shows how "True the Vote", a non-partisan election integrity organization, used three trillion cellphone geo-tracking signals along with surveillance video to reveal a revolutionary scheme…

Many people find themselves stuck in medical loops when they go through a medical intervention that only provides a temporary Band-Aid fix while leading to more health issues that require more medical inventions and medications. With a health system that cares more about profiting off pills and surgeries than finding long-term healing solutions, it…

While Americans have spent the last few weeks fighting over the healthcare issue of abortion, our government has been working in the background on handing over ultimate control of America's health care system and national sovereignty over to the World Health Organization (WHO). This started in January of 2022 when officials from the Biden administr…

Guys, we made it to 50 episodes! Before recording, we thought to ourselves - How do we make this one stand out? How do we make episode 50 truly SPECTACULAR? We dug up many of our favorite topics we've touched on and you can catch us reacting to our most Day 1 recordings, many of which have since been buried in the depths of the ether and are no lon…

Energy is what powers our everyday modern lives, from the gas we put in our cars, the electricity that powers our houses, and the fuel that transports our food. Society would collapse without it. So what do we do when gas prices increase at insane rates or, even worse, when the non-renewable energy sources run out?This week, we hosted David Ramsden…

Things... things. There are lots of things. But, typically, depending on what the media is focused on, there is always a "current thing". Even before the internet people have always been told to support the most "current thing" without question. But today with social media, it is easier than ever to show your support for the "current thing". From w…

“If we aren’t being taught how to grow our own food, how to take care of ourselves and our families, how to live without the need for huge governments, banks, and corporations - as our ancestors once did - then we aren’t being educated; we’re being indoctrinated to be dependent and subservient to the system.” - Gavin Nascimento The “America Dream” …

2/22/22 was a significant date for many reasons. Not only was it the last date featuring all one repeating number that we'll get to see in our lifetime, but it is heavily correlated to this year's Pluto Return. After a mere 248 years, the planet Pluto is coming full circle (literally), and the last time it was in this exact position in orbit was th…

John F. Kennedy, Patrice Lumumba, Diana Spencer, and Muammar Gaddafi all shared a common attribute. Although they influenced humanity from different geographical locations and periods, their revolutionary importance can be boiled down to one profound impact: their efforts to reveal institutional power. Yet, curiously, each of these individuals suff…

Intention and planning are often used interchangeably in our overachieving, hyper-focused, fast-paced world that we live in. But in reality, the two couldn’t be more different. As Americans, we plan a lot. The most significant difference between planning and being intentional is that planning is doing; while intention requires deep thought before a…

We did an episode on the "Great Reset" about a year ago. This was the very first time we had come across the topic and discovered the true agenda stemming from World Economic Forum. Since then, a lot has changed, more truth has been revealed, and our perspectives have broadened. Even though we seem to be moving faster and closer to the 2030 plan in…

Earlier this year, the World Economic Forum released a video introducing the concept of "Own Nothing and You will be happy." Explaining how in the future we will rent most of the items we need to live. As technology improves, we won't need as many materials goods we can downgrade our lives and experience a better world in the digital space. At firs…

Sophia Jasmine joins us this week to share her personal health story on how she got off multiple prescriptions, including topical steroids and birth control, and switched to more holistic healing and reproductive health methods.

As the U.S. has become more secular, we have been looking to fill the void of idolizing some higher entity. For thousands of years, many earlier civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Jews, Greeks, and Romans, all had gods and royalty placed on pedestals of worship. But America has been different. We are a democracy. There is no ruler; there is no m…

For decades, our country has been teaching its students to repeat, memorize and follow the rules without question. A streamlined one-size-fits-all experience has replaced classical education; students have been robbed of learning critical thinking fundamentals. Instead of being encouraged to ask the "why" questions, students are told to accept ever…

Americans have been asleep at the wheel this summer with the opening up of our country, even in places like California. We have been back to work and having fun for the most part. There was a glimmer of hope things were finally back to normal. But as we move into Fall, things like the "Delta" variant are being discussed, and talks of lockdown, vacc…

Imagine that you're at a friend's house with 20 friends, good music starts playing, and two people start dancing. Shortly after, a police officer sees them dancing from the front window. They come in and shut it down with either a $1,000 fine or an arrest. What if we were to tell you that this is what's occurring in Australia right now? Yes, we wer…

What many people wrote off as “conspiracy theories” months ago is now finally here with corporate and government’s effort to enforce a vaccine passport. You might be thinking, “What’s the big deal? Aren’t some types of vaccines already required for international travel?” That may be true, but there has never been all-encompassing documentation to d…

This week we are joined by two close friends who have grown their fun, high school side-hustles into fully-scaled businesses. We have been blessed to go to a college where collaborating on side projects outside of the classroom is not only encouraged but normalized. As we work to maintain a free society and towards a decentralized workplace, we've …

Everyone who's anyone, ranging from Joe Rogan, to Elon Musk, to Tim Dillon, to Logan Paul, and to even your average Tik Tok-er, is getting out of LA ASAP. What are they seeing that the rest of us are missing? Is California just simply too big to be governed? Will Hollywood be the only remaining skeleton of the once flourishing city, now that everyo…

Have you ever felt overwhelmed when deciphering between too many options? Especially with big life decisions, it can be draining sometimes. America is not only the land of opportunity, but the land of pretty much all possibilities. But that limitless freedom comes with the caveat of not knowing what paths to take. Never before have we had this much…

Politicians have been calling for unity for quite some time now. While the morale for unity has been at an all-time low, it finally emerged in the strangest form… MEME STOCKS. Most of us, republican or democrat, or somewhere in between, can agree to back the common man over the Institutional Wall Street Elite. Over the past 48 hours, we have witnes…

We all had high hopes for 2021 after how much of a disaster 2020 turned out to be. Unfortunately, between the capital takeover, increased tech censorship, prolonged lockdowns even with a vaccine, a second impeachment for President Trump, and the current military state in DC, things are not looking too hot so far. In this episode we dive into these …

Times are strange, to say the least. What we all initially thought was "two weeks to slow the spread" and an extended spring break, has turned into almost a full year of isolation and lockdowns. The world is definitely in a crisis state, and is simultaneously experiencing the fourth industrial revolution. According to history, you could say the wor…

Women talking about women... Feminism is quite a multi-dimensional conversation topic; as well as a subject we've never really covered on this show before. In this episode, we reference a notable book titled "Subverted: How I Helped the Sexual Revolution Hijack the Women's Movement" by Sue Ellin Browder, which brought up some fascinating perspectiv…

So what exactly is "the ether"? Well, it is believed to be an empty space for which electromagnetic waves travel. In a way, it is a fitting term to describe how the monstrous amount of data in our world lives among us. Hate to break it to you, but the "cloud" isn't actually some invisible dimension for which the internet lives. Moreover, there are …

Welcome to The Grey Area. In today's world, especially with increased polarization, "black and white" thinking, also known as "dichotomous thinking", has continued to rise. Just to clarify, when we refer to "Black and White" it has nothing to do with race, rather the type of mindset that makes us see the world in simple terms of "best or worst", "g…

We're geologists now! After chatting with our friends from PBE Podcast, Troy Tittlemier, and Matt Scipione, who are multifaceted geologists, we learned sooooo much about Earth from a scientific standpoint.

A work of art, a force to reckon with, a striking composition, and an archetype of brilliance... is "1984", by George Orwell. In this episode, we expose our many thoughts after dissecting the infamous writing. However, this isn't a typical book club.

This week, we interviewed JJ Caffey, an entrepreneurial powerhouse. She is the founder and CEO of Order In, a remote-productivity membership club that provides accountability, community, and structure to remote workers. "Work from home but not alone" is a key phrase that overarches the group's most important values. By discussing the fundamental sh…

At any given moment, there are two of you. How is this possible, you may wonder? Well, ask Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking. Slight problem, they aren't here. But, they did leave us with the science that can help explain the realities of digital presence. To dumb it down for all of us, there are multiple existences that are active via social medi…

Coming up with a title for this episode was tough because this one is JAMPACKED. It has now been over five months since the start of the pandemic, and many people haven't fully internalized our new reality.

Typically, there is no final destination either. When…

From disingenuous news companies, inadequate medical treatment within healthcare, manipulated media across dozens of digital platforms, and questionable approaches to "how things should be" in everyday life, there are many lies in our society that this episode sheds light on.

2020. Not the beginning of a new decade for which we imagined. Starting with the tragic accident involving Kobe Bryant, a global pandemic, the unruly death of George Floyd, and the current increase in social unrest, the history books will need a boundless chapter to document the amount of monumental information regarding these uncharted times. Over…
