Check Your Brain

In Defense of Nu Metal

Per a Patreon suggestion, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur does an entire podcast defending the short-lived and much-maligned 1990s genre that was called nu metal. Bands such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Staind, Sevendust, and others don't seem too bad to Tony, as compared to what is promoted on rock radio today. He also gets into what led up to nu metal, as well as the heavy metal genre's history dating back to the 1960s.

Mary Jane Murphy - Protect Women’s Sports

Mary Jane Murphy is a comedian from the New York area, though she got her start a decade ago in Hawaii. She joined Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast to first talk about "California sobriety," where one refrains from alcohol but does every drug under the sun.

 

One area where Mary Jane is quite serious about is the protection of women's sports, which have been infiltrated by biological men in the last ten years, and how we go about fighting back, but with love, not hate.

 

Mary Jane is very active on her Instagram @mjmurphycomedy, and her YouTube page is  @mjmurphycomedy.

Defund NPR Already

NPR Defends Porn, Masturbation

Is pornography as innocent as mainstream voices make it seem? Is it just a marital aid for exploring or distressed couples, or a "valve release" for single young men? Or is it more nefarious than we expected? And if it's the latter, why is it being pushed so hard? Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur takes a stab at these questions.
