I sat down with Jason Gagne, fitness trainer and creator of the 90-day beginner program Good 2 Go Body. Jason has been training people for over 20 years and specializes in beginners — the people who've been told they're not in good enough shape to start working out. Check out Jason's 90-day program → https://good2go.podia.com/good2go/ibk0g (Every sign-up puts a few bucks in my pocket. Thank you. ) Here's what we got into:  Three things you need to get in shape. Sleep. 100–128oz of water a day. A 20-minute walk. Everything else is built on top of those three basics — and most people are skipping all three and wondering why they're not getting results.  Consistency beats intensity. The human body responds to consistency far more than intensity.  You're only in shape for the gym. Most people who work out regularly are fit for the specific movements they do at the gym — and nothing else. Jason calls this "gym functionality." He built Good 2 Go Body around functional training, so your body is ready fo

The British Empire didn't die — it evolved. In this episode, host John Odermatt pulls back the curtain on the invisible financial architecture that Britain built after shedding its visible empire: a tightly interlocked system of offshore banking, insurance monopolies, intelligence networks, and manufactured conflict designed to generate perpetual risk premiums. At the center of this system sits the City of London, the Federal Reserve, Lloyd's of London, and the Bank of International Settlements — all tracing back to the same banking families. John walks through how conflicts in Iran, Israel, and the broader Middle East were not accidents but products, engineered to keep Lloyd's premiums high and London's influence alive. He also examines the LIBOR scandal as documented proof of institutional collusion, not theory. Finally, John makes the case that the Trump administration's America First doctrine — from the Venezuela operation to intelligence cutoffs to the Strait of Hormuz insurance play — may represent the

Natalie Nicole, founder of Dulsa Life, joins Brian Nichols to reveal why Big Sugar wanted to keep him at 385 pounds and how the alternative sweetener industry is quietly destroying America's metabolic health. Natalie breaks down why roughly 70% of Americans are now battling chronic metabolic illness, how high fructose corn syrup hits your cells like a fire hose compared to the "garden hose" of real sugar, and why every pink, blue, yellow, and green sweetener packet at the grocery store is laced with maltodextrin, dextrose, or sugar alcohols that wreck your gut. They get into the Ozempic shortcut trap, the 10-year slow-poisoning timeline that precedes a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and why SNAP benefits and Big Soda subsidies are making the problem exponentially worse for working class Americans.We expose the uncomfortable truth about why "zero calorie" sweeteners are one of the most successful marketing scams in food history... and why the same playbook Big Tobacco ran in the 60s is now running Big Sugar.

Most expats moved to Dubai chasing tax-free income, luxury living, and warm weather — but the war with Iran has exposed the fragile foundations beneath that dream. In this episode, John Odermatt speaks with world-renowned expat consultant Mikkel Thorup about why he left the UAE seven years ago, what he saw coming, and what current residents need to know. Thorup spent nearly a decade in the UAE before recognizing that its dependence on imported food, desalinated water, and hydrocarbon energy made it dangerously vulnerable to regional conflict. He shares firsthand accounts of stranded tourists, canceled Iranian Golden Visas, potential banking disruptions, and the very real consequences of living near active missile exchanges. For those looking for an alternative, Thorup points to Latin America as an increasingly attractive destination — politically shifting rightward, food and water independent, and offering genuine tax-free lifestyles. He closes with practical advice on building an offshore Plan B whether or n

Lou is joined by Stu Smith, investigative analyst at the Manhattan Institute, who has spent months going deep inside the DSA — Democratic Socialists of America. What he's found is far more radical than the "point of personal privilege" memes would suggest.  TOPICS COVERED: 00:00 — Intro: Who is Stu Smith and what is the Manhattan Institute?03:00 — What most people get wrong about the DSA 07:00 — The DSA's internal "right wing" — people who just believe in elections 11:00 — The Red Rabbits: DSA's new armed security task force 16:00 — The Doctor Phil clip: Black Redguard's origin story 20:00 — DSA's global travel: Cuba, Colombia, Sweden, Brazil, and beyond 26:00 — The F-35 supply chain and DSA's quasi-national security threat 31:00 — Salting: how DSA plants operatives inside companies to organize 36:00 — Zoran Mamdani, the Overton window, and how DSA took NYC 42:00 — DSA's youth wing: getting a Cornell student on Ithaca City Council 47:00 — DSA's social media machine and what the political establishm

What happens when your body gives out but your will refuses to quit? Ty Gipson has lived that question — diagnosed with brittle Type 1 diabetes at age eight, he went on to survive three major transplant surgeries while building a thriving business and raising a family. In this episode, Ty shares the remarkable story of receiving a kidney from his mother at age 30, fighting through dialysis while running a 45-person company, and ultimately receiving his wife's kidney after she turned out to be a perfect match. Through each trial, Ty forged his "No Options" mindset — a practical three-step framework for pushing through adversity. The framework breaks down into three simple pairs: grow or die (what we do), hope or despair (how we think), and humor or drama (how we talk). Ty explains why "just think positive" is an empty platitude and why taking smaller mental bites is the real key to building resilience. He also opens up about how sharing his story — something his father taught him never to do — became the very

Brian Nichols exposes how Gen Z's dating recession created a loneliness epidemic now radicalizing young men AND women into political extremism. 44% of Gen Z men have zero relationship experience. 73% of Gen Z report chronic loneliness. 6 in 10 talk to AI more than coworkers. The skills that dating and sales teach you - rejection, negotiation, reading people, handling conflict - are the same skills a functioning democracy requires. And an entire generation never learned them. Brian breaks down the data from the Surgeon General's loneliness advisory, the largest incel study ever conducted, Cambridge's TikTok radicalization research, and Gallup's 15-point gender political divide to show why this isn't a "soft skills" problem. It's a civilizational one.This episode is the wake-up call nobody in media is delivering. Brian exposes how the same 3N radicalization model - Needs, Networks, Narratives - is pulling lonely young men into incel pipelines AND lonely young women into ideological extremism simultaneously. He

New York City is heading in the wrong direction — and Rafael Mangual of the Manhattan Institute is here to break down exactly why. In this episode of the LoU Perez Podcast, Rafael and I discuss the real story behind the Washington Square Park snowball attack on NYPD officers, why anti-police disrespect has become normalized, the media's deliberate obfuscation of the Gracie Mansion IED attack, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani's dangerous blind spots on public safety.  Topics Covered: - The Washington Square Park "snowball fight" and what it actually revealed about anti-police sentiment - "Is This What Fear Looks Like?" — Rafael's viral piece on the myth of police brutality - How progressive guilt culture has made New Yorkers afraid to call the cops - The media's shameful framing of the Gracie Mansion IED attack - Mayor Mamdani's failure to name the perpetrators or their motivations - Why disbanding the NYPD's Strategic Response Group is dangerous - The revolving door of the criminal justice system (and wh

A fertility doctor secretly fathered dozens of children using his own sperm—and in most states, that still isn't clearly a crime. Josh Wood, Executive Director of Them Before Us, joins Finding Freedom to discuss South Dakota's groundbreaking fertility fraud law and the massive ethical questions it raises about reproductive technology, biological identity, and children's rights. This conversation exposes the unregulated fertility industry, the troubling rise of genetic selection, and how policies designed to serve adults are sacrificing the wellbeing of children. From anonymous sperm donation to designer babies, Josh breaks down why biological parentage matters more than we've been willing to admit. We explore the legal battles, the psychological toll on donor-conceived children, and the dystopian future that awaits if we don't protect the fundamental right of children to know and be raised by their biological parents. This is an eye-opening conversation that transcends politics and gets to the heart of what i
