The political realignment continues, as Dick and Liz Cheney are voting for Kamala Harris, while RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard are on Team Trump. Mitt Romney hasn't actually endorsed Harris, but his TDS won't allow him to pull the lever for the Orange Man. Which begs the question: other than his large immediate family, who on the political spectrum actually likes Romney? Tony Mazur touches on that, as...

It's been nearly two years since Tony Mazur dedicated a round of stupid white guy commercials on his Check Your Brain podcast, but here he is ahead of the 2024 election. Are these ads made to be silly, or is there something sinister going on? Is this a way to make men (mainly white men) out to be ridiculous, inconsiderate, and unaware morons, or is Tony making a mountain out of a molehill?   Be su...

All across the globe, there are efforts to ban smoking, flavored tobacco, and nicotine pouches such as Zyn. Yet those same entities seem to look the other way when it comes to vaping, marijuana use, and fast food intake. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talks about the war on tobacco and nicotine usage, why it's fairly classist in nature, and how Big Tobacco quietly became Big Food in the 1980s. Late...

The Athletics have joined the Raiders and the Golden State Warriors in leaving the city of Oakland since 2019. Rather than blaming corporate greed, Tony Mazur goes into why it's the best business decision to leave Oakland, and not just the sports teams. Oakland doesn't deserve big businesses due to rampant crime and DAs/politicians looking the other way and letting it all happen.   Be sure to subs...

In this week's free episode, Tony Mazur laughs at the notion that "white dudes" are making mad rushes to the polls to vote for Kamala Harris, or that her running mate is the pinnacle of modern-day masculinity. And what does it mean to be a manly man in today's culture?   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10 has all of the above, as well a...

In this week's free episode of Check Your Brain, Ohio podcaster Tony Mazur covers what he believes to be a purposeful invasion of Haitians into towns such as Springfield, and how most do not assimilate to American cultures. Is this what's called "Great Replacement"? Doesn't seem so great for Heritage Americans.   Tony also covered another potential assassination attempt of Donald Trump over the we...

Check Your Brain host Tony Mazur stayed up late last evening and watched the entire debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Tony Mazur is the host of the Check Your Brain podcast, and this week he welcomes his friend and former football show co-host Ken Mosca to preview the upcoming NFL season. They largely agree on the division winners, and in typical Ken and Tony fashion, they ride the wayback machine and discuss quarterbacks, teams, and broadcast booth analysts of the past. Also, speaking of analysts, will Tom Brady...

In a much shorter episode than normal, Check Your Brain podcast host Tony Mazur covers a recent story about Gus Walz, the neurodivergent son of Minnesota governor and Kamala Harris VP pick Tim Walz. Tony's take is that it's not smart or humane to mock his son, but he'll be damned if he's lectured to a group of people who would have aborted Gus if his disease was detected in the womb.   Be sure to...

Brian Elliott is an actor from Virginia, and he has been making strides in mainstream Hollywood productions. He spoke with Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur about catching the acting bug early on, his move to Los Angeles and getting his SAG-AFTRA card, and staying active in the business while working across the country.   Brian's biggest role to date is 2019's Miss Virginia, starring Uzo Aduba, Vaness...

On this week's Check Your Brain podcast, Tony Mazur covers the latest rise of Kamala Harris, which is not by any means a grassroots effort. The push to either ignore or erase her past comments or idiosyncrasies is at a fever pitch, and no more is this prevalent as the white women for Kamala Zoom conference.   Joe Biden has decided to step away from the presidential race in 2024 and serve out the r...

Joe Biden has decided to step away from the presidential race in 2024 and serve out the rest of his term. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur talks about this decision, how Biden's mental and physical prowess has diminished in the last decade, and if this was more of a Democrat Party coup than a family decision.   Tony also gets the listeners/viewers excited for a Kamala Harris run with her classic quot...

For the last decade, leftists have said "cancel culture isn't a thing, but if it was, it's good," or "it's not cancel culture, it's accountability culture." After the near-assassination attempt of Donald Trump over the weekend, progressives everywhere are sitting in HR offices and being told to pack their belongings over troubling social media posts. Tony Mazur says it's time for non-leftists to s...

There was an assassination attempt on the life of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, over the weekend at a Pennsylvania rally. In today's podcast, I cover the immediate fallout in the 24 hours since the rally, from the media admonishing a wounded Trump for not "turning down the temperature" with political rhetoric to who actually raised the temperature in the first place. I als...

In this episode, Tony Mazur delves into the best and worst sports announcers from the past and present. What makes for a good announcer? Tony believes it to be someone who lets the picture tell the story, one who makes even the most boring contests sound like the Super Bowl, yet not making the moments about themselves. Some do it well like Vin Scully, and others do a poor job, specifically the new...

How did the Democrat Party move drastically leftward in the last decade or so? Many point to the elections of Barack Obama (notably 2012), but the shift, according to Tony Mazur, happened with the rise of Bernie Sanders. Tony lays out how the Vermont senator isn't just a mitten-clad grandpa yelling at the sky, but a man whose influence forever shaped the progressive coalition and moved the party t...

Each year around their wedding anniversary, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur brings along his wife, Leah, for a fun chat. This year, Tony and Leah talked about social cues (or lack thereof) in relationships and how couples can better communicate at the beginning. They also commented on some silly videos.   Disclaimer: anything discussed on this podcast was not an endorsement, and does not reflect any...

The month of June used to be filled with weddings, vacations, summer baseball leagues, and strawberry festivals. Today, every city, government organization, major corporation, and the mainstream media promote the new religion of our time, and we all know what that entails. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur covers how we got from "live and let live" and "what two consenting adults do in the comfort of...

Mark Houck is a husband, father of seven, and Pro-Life activist from Pennsylvania, and he made international headlines when the FBI arrested him inside his home. His crime? Defending his son from a crazed abortion supporter. He has since been acquitted and even ran for congress, and he joined the Check Your Brain podcast with Tony Mazur to talk about the arrest and his mission. They also discussed...

On today's podcast, Tony Mazur talks about those who feel politically homeless in a binary system. Bill Maher isn't happy with his own party, yet will still vote Democrat come November. And speaking of Democrats, the Libertarian Party nominated one to represent them at the ballot box in Chase Oliver.   Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10...

The West is dealing with a mental health crisis, especially among Generations Y and Z due to the overabundance of social media. But much of this behavior seems to really affect young girls and adult women more than their male counterparts, from dating life to depression, all the way to transgenderism. Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur gives his analysis of what he thinks is going on and how to course...

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 heav...
