Check Your Brain

Remembering O&A with Ray (Not DeVito)

Ray Hyclak is a comedian from Cleveland and massive fan of the DabbleVerse. With it being Christmas, Tony Mazur decided to have some fun on the Check Your Brain podcast to remember the glory days of the Opie & Anthony Show. They talked about how they were introduced to the show, when exactly those glory days were, the comedians and characters on the program, and all of the podcast/streaming offshoots.

Bonus Episode - The Rise in Tommy John Surgeries

There were more Tommy John surgeries performed on pitchers in 2024 alone than there were in the first 25 years of the procedure's existence. That is a scary precedent, and Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur doesn't see a course correction anytime soon. Tony lays out the factors as to why these injuries keep occurring, from only playing one sport to overuse and overbearing parents.

Tony's Top Topics of 2024

It's mid-December on the Check Your Brain podcast, and host Tony Mazur is here to cover the major stories that made waves in 2024. Tony paid tribute to the cats and the dogs that were eaten, as well as a euthanized squirrel and raccoon. There were indictments and assassination attempts, a successful coup, a re-election, mass campus protests, a controversial kicker, and Jews crawling out of tunnels. 2024 was quite the year.

Bonus Episode - Penny Not Pinched

Daniel Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur believes Penny is a hero for saving a train full of people from a mentally-ill homeless drug addict in 2023, even if he doesn't believe so. Tony also plays the response from BLM activists who think Penny got away with murder.

Off the Hook, For Better or Worse

Who is having the better week: Hunter Biden and his family after a blanket 11-year pardon, or Dr. Jay Battacharya, the man called a "fringe epidemiologist" now heading up the NIH? Well, what the Bidens did was criminal, and what Dr. Jay said throughout the Covid hysteria was correct, but they're all sleeping better at night. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur covers both of these major stories.

In Defense of Creed

Last week, Check Your Brain's own Tony Mazur pulled the trigger and saw the band Creed for the first time since 2009, and it was a pretty solid show. In fact, the venue was close to, if not, a sellout. Creed Nationalism is sweeping the country, or at least with Millennial men. As America comes back, so does Creed, so in today's podcast, Tony attempts to defend the band from Gen-Xers who say they're cringe and terrible.

David Chapman - Return of the King

David Chapman is an author and political commentator, and is now hosting his own YouTube stream. He made a return appearance on the Check Your Brain podcast to talk about Donald Trump's landslide victory in the 2024 election, which surprised many people except David, who predicted this as early as the end of his last term. David and Tony Mazur chatted about Trump's appeal, the political realignment, who the Democrats will blame for this loss, and if the Neocons are waiting for the MAGA movement to die off.
