Send us Fan Mail There are some phone calls that change your life forever. I was in Toledo, Ohio, picking up a load when I got the call that my sister had unexpectedly passed away. In a matter of seconds, everything changed. One moment I was just another truck driver doing my job... the next, I was trying to figure out how to cope with overwhelming grief while still being hundreds of miles away fr...

Send us Fan Mail For years, most truck drivers have walked past those Truckers Against Trafficking posters hanging in truck stops without giving them much thought. I know I did. Like a lot of people, I assumed human trafficking was something that happened somewhere else—big cities, foreign countries, dark alleys, and places far removed from everyday life on the road. The truth is far more complica...

Send us Fan Mail Have you noticed how anger seems to dominate social media? Tonight we're talking about the rise of outrage culture on Trucking YouTube and social media in general. Why do angry videos get so many views? Why do creators seem pushed toward more extreme content? Is social media rewarding the loudest voices instead of the smartest ones? This isn't a political discussion and...

Send us Fan Mail A recent trucking news story got me thinking about something every driver has experienced at one time or another: a breakdown in communication with dispatch. This isn't about deciding who's right or wrong in a lawsuit. It's about asking the bigger question: Could the situation have been avoided? When should a driver go over a dispatcher's head? When should mana...

Send us Fan Mail Tonight we're settling one of the biggest debates in trucking history: What are the greatest trucking movies ever made? From Smokey and the Bandit and Convoy to Duel, Maximum Overdrive, White Line Fever, Black Dog, and more, we're counting down the films that captured the spirit of the open road and helped shape trucking culture. I'll reveal my picks, hear yours, an...

Send us Fan Mail Remember when the most distracting thing in a truck was trying to tune in a radio station? Today, some drivers are livestreaming, reading comments, responding to viewers, and creating content while rolling down the highway. In this episode of Gen X Trucking with the Mighty Philbert, we take a humorous but honest look at distracted driving, social media, livestream culture, and why...

Send us Fan Mail There was a time when trucking felt different. The trucks weren't as comfortable. The technology wasn't nearly as advanced. Drivers relied on paper maps, CB radios, and experience rather than satellites and screens. But many drivers will tell you there was something special about life on the road back then. In this episode of Gen X Trucking with The Mighty Philbert, we t...

Send us Fan Mail Remember when truckers were the last American cowboys? Before GPS, before ELDs, before smartphones, before every mile of the interstate looked exactly the same, there was a different kind of road culture. In the 1970s, convoy culture exploded across America. CB radios became a national obsession. Truck drivers became folk heroes. And movies like Smokey & the Bandit captured an...

Send us Fan Mail I released a video today called, "New Directions", where I discuss the upcoming changes to the Mighty Philbert channel and why I'm leaving the YouTube Atheist community. Tonight, I want to discuss that in a little more detail and give you a chance to voice any questions, comments, or snide remarks you may have concerning my decision. This will be the last livestream...

Send us Fan Mail For the last couple of years this channel explored religion, skepticism, counter-apologetics, Gen X culture, trucking stories, and the strange circus we call internet life. But somewhere along the way, I realized I was spending more time talking about outrage than the things I actually love. This video explains why I’m stepping away from the YouTube atheist community, why recent e...

Send us Fan Mail Tonight, I'm doing a response to a few sections from a video from The Rabyd Atheist's channel called, " The Difference Between Claims, Evidence, and Verdicts (Because Some People Need a Refresher)".   The Rabyd Atheist's Original Video:    • The Difference Between Claims, Evidence an...  Pragmatic Crystal's Playlist:    • NANOCON 2025 

Send us Fan Mail Tonight on The Mighty Philbert, we’re holding a funeral. Not for atheism. Not for skepticism. But for the online atheist YouTube community that once claimed to stand for reason, accountability, and questioning authority… until too many people decided protecting tribes and personalities mattered more than protecting people. Tonight’s livestream will cover: • The fallout surrounding...

Send us Fan Mail In Episode 2 of this series, we break down how victim blaming actually works—and why it’s often disguised as “logic,” “neutrality,” or “just asking questions.” From impossible standards to online tribalism, this episode explores the psychology behind why communities often protect themselves instead of supporting vulnerable people. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses abuse,...

Send us Fan Mail This episode tackles one of the most misunderstood questions surrounding abuse and assault: “Why didn’t they speak up?” The answer isn’t simple—and it’s not comfortable. In this first episode of a new series, we explore the real reasons victims stay silent: fear, shame, loss of community, retaliation, and the emotional cost of being heard… or ignored. This isn’t about one story. I...

Send us Fan Mail In tonight's livestream, I'm going to be talking with Dr. Jay Bundy from the YouTube channel, Pocketlocker 86, Patti from the channel, The Apostate Sister, and Kyle_Ayo stop by to talk about the current state of the atheist YouTube community. A lot of things are going on right now, and we need to talk about it! 

Send us Fan Mail In this video, I just wanted to talk about why I posted the video called, "When Communities Fail". I also hope to make amends with some people.

Send us Fan Mail Gen X didn’t grow up on life lessons…  we grew up on movies that quietly showed us the truth. In this episode of The Mighty Philbert , we kick off a new series exploring the movies that shaped Gen X —not just the ones we loved, but the ones that taught us something … whether we were ready or not. From Fast Times at Ridgemont High showing us adulthood starts early…  to Stand by Me...

Send us Fan Mail There was a time when people gathered in parking lots… and burned music. Not because it was bad. Not because it was worthless. Because they were afraid of what it was saying. In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we dive into the moral panic of the 1980s and 90s—when music stopped being just entertainment and started being treated like a threat. From record-burning gatherings… t...

Send us Fan Mail In this video, I’m responding to a public statement made by Nancy, read by her sister Patty of the Apostate Sisters channel. In that statement, Nancy shares her account of an alleged assault that took place at NaNoCon 2025, along with what she says happened in the aftermath. I am not here to speculate, investigate, or present new evidence. I am here to listen… and to take seriousl...

Send us Fan Mail Ever been labeled something you’re not? Now imagine the government doing it. In 2011, the Federal Bureau of Investigation classified fans of Insane Clown Posse—known as Juggalos—as a “hybrid criminal street gang.” Yeah… seriously. In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we break down: How a music fanbase got labeled a gang Real-world consequences for everyday people And why this s...

Send us Fan Mail Contemporary Christian Music wasn’t just background noise—it was the soundtrack of a generation. For many of us growing up Gen X, CCM shaped more than what we listened to… it shaped how we thought, what we believed, and how we saw the world. In tonight’s livestream, we’re breaking down the rise of CCM—from its rebellious roots in the Jesus Movement to its peak in the 80s and 90s—a...
