The System is Down with Dan Smotz

The question of the day is… Is it worth the risk to stand up for your beliefs, even if it jeopardizes your business? To a younger generation, perhaps you heard of Trapt or Chris Taylor Brown from memes and online controversies around social media political feuds. I learned about Trapt in a very different way... as a 14 year old kid... when I sneakily listened to the rock radio stations that my par...

The question of the day is.... What is the cure for the opioid epidemic? On today's episode, I am joined once again by great indie film director, Spencer Folmar.

Way back in the baby years of this show, the Mandela Effect was our very first topical episode and is still a favorite conspiracy topic for Cala and me. So, when long time friend of the show, Remso Martinez hit me up and said “hey, let’s talk about the Mandela Effect”, I was all about it. Remso’s life endeavors are too numerous to count, let alone list all of them here, but many of you know him fr...

This is something I've been trying to make happen for a while, but it never got done. So, from now on, whenever Cala is digging into a crazy topic and wants to tell me about it, I'm going to stop her, have her write it down, and come tell me all about it for the first time on the show, in a segment we shall from here forth, call "C-Files". So, that's what we're doing...

The question of the day is.... Are third parties actually harming their effort more than they're hurting it? As many of you know, I'm not only a vocal member of and advocate for the Libertarian Party, but I am also actively involved in the Jorgensen / Cohen campaign... So Theodore Quinoa's decision to surprise me with his new idea of ending all third parties by the fourth quarter, i...

The question of the day is.... if you create a product and someone else uses it immorally, should you be held responsible? If you're not familiar with Ross Ulbricht's case, the very abridged version is this... Ross created an anonymous Craigslist style free market website, some people used that site to sell drugs, and Ross was sentenced to a double life sentence. Seems a little off, righ...

I've been trying to get my long time friend, Carl Pierce on the show for somewhere close to a year now, to have this conversation. With everything going on in the world, we need more people willing to have these kinds of conversations and listening to each other. Carl grew up about 10 minutes from where I did in a small white midwestern town in Illinois. We grew up in the same area, around th...
