The Ignorance is Strength Podcast

Our guest this week gives us an honest look into the world of the online sex worker as she answers questions about OnlyFans.  On her quest to become known in the social media realm, she also gives a glimpse into her new YouTube channel, and we even talk a little bit of MMA.  Is she content creating content?  Listen and find out.

This week, Taylor Ragano drops in and shares her experience with weight loss surgery.  Though it's a slightly shorter episode than usual, a lot of good information is packed in and shared.  It's definitely a must-listen for anyone considering weight loss surgery or struggling with weight in general.

This week, it's once again a podcaster to podcaster conversation, when Tori from the Chicana Chisme Podcast drops by to talk Selena.  Inspired by a couple of episodes of her podcast, we compare and contrast parts of the series and the movie, and we also discuss why Selena was such an iconic figure.  Be sure to check out her own podcast, as Tori is an energetic person with a lot of passion and know...

The boys are back talking their nonsense in the fourth installment of the aptly titled Shit Show.  This week's banter includes post-election talk (minus the most recent insurrection), Sosa's vaccine experience, a hello to our new Indian fans, and much more.  We even go back and record a breaking news segment about the new El Monte hate cult.  Shit shows always deliver.

This is the second food challenge for the podcast, and this time, Fabian and George enlist the help of familiar guest, Potter, to act as the EL Monte Taco Virgin (it will make sense after you listen).  Join us as we taste test three of El Monte's favorite spots and highlight a brand new one.  The companion videos can be found on Facebook, IGTV, or YouTube.  Just search for the Ignorance is Strengt...

Happy new year!  This week, we welcome back our resident astrology enthusiast, now dubbed Astro-Monica.  We do a retrospective look back at 2020, point out important astrological dates in 2021, and share horoscopes for the new year.  If you've enjoyed the zodiac talk so far, you'll enjoy this episode.  Please also check out Astro-Monica's home-based business on Instagram, Little Luna Creations.

Whitey and Fabian welcome their old friend, Adan Ramirez to the podcast to just shoot the shit and catch up.  Adan is your average, everyday, reliable nice guy that likes to sort of hang in the background, but he has a lot of interesting hobbies and interests, too.  Bonus: Listen to how Fabian went from getting kicked out of a club to getting free drinks from management.  This one's a light, fun l...

This week, small business entrepreneur, Janna Willoughby-Lohr joins us.  She discusses women in business, as well as her own eco-friendly, handmade paper craft company, Papercraft Miracles.  We venture slightly into some current events and politics (that's always fun), mention her own podcast, and we end with some bonus songs from her band, Bloodthirsty Vegans.  Check it out!

This week, the hardest-working man in podcasting, Stephen Martinez (AKA MegaMan), joins us to talk podcaster to podcaster.  He shares his goals and next steps, while also diving into Chicano culture as a whole (the good, the bad, and the ugly).  Check out this conversation and give MegaMan a listen on his own podcast, which is available on all major platforms.

Fabian and Whitey welcome their Wrest Ashurd bandmate, Bob, to the podcast.  The band reminisces about how they formed, the early days in backyard gigs, a strange contract situation, and about fading away into musical obscurity.  We also catch up with Bob in general and hear how he's doing in Canada.

El Monte's unofficial town troubadour, Steven Bejarano, joins Whitey and Fabian this week to talk old memories, music as a career, and tales of Cub Scouts and buttholes...yes, buttholes.  Steven is a talented and passionate musician with his hand in a lot of projects, including Sistine, Yankee Azteca, and his own music under the name Steven G.B.  Check him out at StevenGB.com.

This week, we drop by in person to pay old friend and comedian, Johnny Roque, a visit.  Unofficial co-host, Whitey, also joins us as we discuss childhood, the old wrestling days, comedy, and life goals with Johnny.  Listen to Johnny as he explains how he went from being picked on and laughed at to intentionally laughed at.

The beloved Drunken Knights of the Round Table return to regale you with tales of weddings-gone-wrong, hunting trips, and irrelevant, two-week old political talk you don't give a damn about.  I know...we're over politics.  We're funny.  Just listen.

Returning guest, George Hernandez, and I hit the streets of El Monte to put the top 3 El Monte pizza spots to the test!  Who reigns supreme?  The Post, Baby Bros., or Rio's?  Though this is the shortest episode to date, it is the most unique, and it is accompanied by a video on IGTV and YouTube.  Cool concept...more food challenges to come soon.

Returning guest, Monica Mendez, drops by this week for some fun and to read your astrology-ignorant host's zodiac birth chart.  The first hour gives you a glimpse of who Fabian "Motherfucking" Ojeda may (or may not) be according to the stars.  In the second hour, we dive into some spiritual, paranormal, and spooky stories.

The self-proclaimed "Detox Queen" and founder of Andrea's Healthy, Tatiana Pacheco, joins us this week to talk about her journey as a Peruvian immigrant living the American Dream as a small business owner.  Post-episode update: Your not-so-healthy host did try a 3-day cleanse with great results and Andrea's Healthy Kitchen was awarded the grant we discussed!

Charlene (A.K.A. Mo'Unique) joins us this week to promote her song, "Nope."  Along the way, we chat about overcoming domestic violence, adult entertainment, and misogyny in the rap industry.  She's a true redemption story in progress with a bright future in music and film.

The worldwide pandemic has changed a lot of things drastically.  One of which is teaching.  This week, four teachers join us in an honest discussion about distance learning, re-learning to teach, and whether or not they feel appreciated during these times.  This is a very engaging conversation for parents, educators, and even the average Joe Taxpayer.  There's also a funny story about your (now) h...

Up and coming Canadian pop artist, Schara joins us this week to talk about the pop music industry and to promote her US Top 100 hit song, "Real Love."  As an added note, after recording this episode, Schara's music video for "Real Love" has become part of the MTV rotation!  As stated on this episode, Schara is ready to take what's hers.

Stephen Greene, a UK expat now residing Brazil, joins us to talk about teaching English, travelling all over the world, vegetarianism, and his love for worldwide football.  Stephen did not disappoint as our first international guest, as he's full of so much knowledge about history and culture.  Definitely an interesting listen.

Returning guest, Grace Ogata, joins us to talk mental health.  We chat about the pandemic, the political climate, and the complete cluster fuck that is 2020.  We also discuss how therapy plays a role in mental health and whether or not it's considered a faux pas, depending on one's social setting.

Sam and his mom (Gina) join us this week to discuss his successful podcast, autism in general, rock music, and pro wrestling.  Sam has not let any misconceptions or stigma about autism stand in his way.  He's already a champ with a great attitude and he's just getting started.

Friends of the show (and now, sort of semi-permanent, recurring co-hosts), Whitey, Potter, and Sosa, return to just shoot the shit.  We pick up where we left off on episode #10 with some old stories, we talk drunken moments, and we even tackle a little bit of political banter.  It's just nonsense and a good time with old friends.

This week, we visit the world of the big and tall man.  What's it like doing normal day to day things?  What are some fashion no-no's?  In the first half of this episode, Mark Zepeda from the Living Big and Tall blog joins us to discuss the big and tall life, as well as the unique concept of his blog.  In the second half, George Hernandez returns to the podcast to round out the conversation.  He g...
