Dems Have a Man Problem

Though there's no doubt the Democrat Party will regroup in someway ahead of the midterms in 2026 and 2028 presidential election, they really aren't learning their lessons as far at outreach to males. Almost as if calling them horrible, racist, chauvinistic patriarchal bigots for decades had some crippling effects. Tony Mazur of the Check Your Brain podcast talks about the Democrats' issue with men, as well as the sad shilling Jake Tapper is doing for his Joe Biden book.

Falling Prostrate to the Prostate

This week, it was announced that former president Joe Biden was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. The odds that no one knew about this diagnosis until a few days ago are very, very slim, as Tony Mazur points out in this week's podcast. This news came out the week a damning book about the final years of Biden's presidency by Jake Tapper is set to hit bookstores.

The Music Episode!

As some of you may know, Tony Mazur was once a radio guy and music program director, so every now and then he shares his insight on the state of music.

Sarah Braasch - The Perspective of the Canceled

The Shiloh Hendrix story is a fascinating one, especially since it wasn't long ago where the woke mobs successfully ruined the lives and souls of individuals for the crime of expressing non-regime-approved viewpoints. Sarah Braasch became persona non grata back in 2018 over a "sleeping while black" hoax at Yale Law. She joined Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast to give the perspective of someone who was doxxed and canceled, and how refreshing it is to see someone like Shiloh get backed by an in-group preference.

 

Sarah is still struggling with bills and getting back on her feet all these year later, so consider supporting her GoFundMe.

Culture of Slop

According to Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur, we live in perennial high school, where everyone wants to be accepted into the "in" crowd. A big part of that is staying up-to-date on the latest TV shows, movies, music, slang, and trends, such as Sabrina Carpenter, the Savannah Bananas, etc. Or as Tony and others would call it these days, slop.
