THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC

Election Night Part 2 & Cybersecurity In Part 2 of my election night session on THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC, I talk about voting in person in Los Angeles, following the mayor’s race, and why I still pay attention when a candidate is poised to make history. Watching the campaigns also made me wonder how much of your private life you have to be willing to put up for public debate just to run for of...

2026 Midterms | A First Reaction to the Winner In this quick election night session of THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC, I talk about who won and share my first thoughts on the result.

Apologies for the profanities In this session of THE PODCVST, MVTT BLVC considers how restaurant owners could work with AI companies to build more sustainable businesses and create welcoming third places for a new generation—all while confronting rising costs. The conversation also takes a personal turn with a story about ripping my pants in front of a group of politicians, followed by political c...

This podcast was made with no studio. No production team. No polished panel of experts pretending they already know the answers. Today's session is about walking away from the traditional workforce, not because I don't want to work, but because I no longer want to spend my life working a regular job. I'm talking about moving full steam ahead into politics, pursuing something I genuinely want to bu...

For the latest session of THE PODCVST by MVTT BLVC , there is no guest and no formal agenda. MVTT BLVC takes the microphone for a personal debrief on nearly two years spent working around the ground floor of American politics. From local primary canvassing and grassroots organizing to phone banking during a national election, A Chat with MVTT BLVC looks at politics from the perspective of the pers...

I've been away from the mic for a bit focusing my attention on trying to find a new place to live and working quite a bit but I'm back now and here's a quick three month recap of the Los Angeles Primaries, World Cup, and much more.

The conversation moves through literary influence first, reflecting on the Beat generation and the restless, observational force of writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg . From there, it shifts into photography, examining the impact of William Klein — the New York street photographer whose raw, kinetic style helped redefine fashion imagery and visual storytelling — alongside Annie Leibovitz...

This episode of The PODCVST goes straight at power, contradiction, and the things polite people prefer not to say. Tyler starts with Karen Bass : a political figure whose story raises one of the most fascinating questions in Los Angeles politics. How do you go from revolutionary politics to City Hall? How do you go from the police watching you to the police shielding you? Tyler breaks down what th...

This is a session about the usual stuff. Complants about skidrow, drugs, homeslessness, politics, social media, and being too tired to actually care. But the Session got done so...yeah.

In this session of THE PODCVST , I address a distinction that has become increasingly difficult for people to make in public discourse: the difference between Islam as a religion, Muslims as individuals, and extremism as a political, cultural, and ideological problem. This episode is not an attack on all Muslims. It is a direct rejection of the lazy thinking that treats an entire faith community a...

In this episode, I recount the night I lost my apartment during the hurricane in New Jersey. From the early morning pounding at the door as neighbors came knocking, to wading through flood water in the dark, this is a personal reflection on fear, confusion, displacement, and survival. What began as one devastating night became a chain of events that carried me from New Jersey to New York, and even...

In this episode of THE PODCVST , I move through three interconnected subjects: the Financial Identity Photo Protection Act (FIPP) , the reality of Skid Row , and the question of mental health within unstable environments . I begin with a broader discussion of FIPP , the policy proposal and why identity, financial security, and institutional accountability deserve far more serious public attention....

Homelessness is not a mystery. It is the predictable outcome of fragmented systems that do not speak to one another. In this episode of The PODCVST, I lay out a structured solution for California: No nonsense drug rehabilitation, workforce reintegration, and a work-to-expungement framework coordinated at the state level. Not charity. Not slogans. Policy with accountability. Built for California. A...

The January 6th rioters are coming...for politics.

Jan 8, 2026 First rant of the year

From the gym to the waterfront, this session tracks personal momentum and political shifts — touching on SailGP in NYC and Portsmouth, the potential gubernatorial bid by Kamala Harris, and what it could mean if Karen Bass leaves L.A.’s mayoral seat up for grabs.

Jack Doohan’s quiet fall from Alpine raises questions about F1’s driver development. SailGP continues to deliver high-speed drama, but is anyone outside the water watching? In Gaza, a grotesque media moment unfolds as journalists eat in front of starving children. We wrap with a light dip into politics, measured, not militant.

Mickey 17 is the first Bong Joon-ho movie I’ve ever seen—and wow, what a way to start. Clones. Death. Space. Robert Pattinson.

This week on THE PODCVST , we’re diving deep into the flawed idea behind Jeff Nippard's “$10 vs $100 a Day” fitness challenge. 💥 We’ll break down why the $10/day fitness budget theory doesn’t work for everyone and why it's a bit of a stretch, especially for those who don’t have the luxury of high-end meal prep and gym memberships. But hey, I’ve managed to pull it off occasionally, so I’m sharing...
