After some moving around and adjusting to the new home, I'm back to ranting over the airwaves! In today's episode, I share my thoughts on celebrity influence, their handling of allegations, and cancel culture being a failure. Have a listen and if you enjoyed today's rant, go ahead and share it with your friends and family. Take Care.…

We're trying something a little different in today's episode: I'm doing an entire episode in broken Spanish. There's always a need to try something out in public and it builds character. Give it a listen as I discuss some thoughts on using AI as a therapist and why it might work out for some, but not for others. While this episode might be slightly…

Would you take on more controversial topics if it meant that you could become a better communicator? In today's episode, I'll do my best to convince you that you need to hold differing opinions and how it might make you more fun to be around. Hot takes (intelligent ones at least) will free you from narrow-minded thinking. All that and more on today…

I'm back! In today's episode, I talk about some interesting yet random questions I asked AI and give you my thoughts and grades on its answers. Try AI apps and see what the fuss is all about. Also, my sincerest apologies for any background noise. The gardeners seem to not care that I have a podcast, but it's fine....…

On today's episode, I give you a few good reasons to get off your phone and what might occur if you stay on it for too long. Confession Time: I have a hard time getting off my phone so I understand why others get hooked on their devices.

In today's episode, I speak about the mental fitness of the people who think that ending their lives is the only way to escape. I'm sorry that people weren't there for you. I wish that I had your strength and resolve to keep going. You're not alone. This rant is for those people. Screw the bullies. Today's topic is sensitive and I speak about suici…

On today's episode, I speak briefly about sitting on the idea of your death or being laid into a casket. Would you face life as a coward knowing that you'll be in that hole years from now or will you live to be less tolerable of the unnecessary fluff of the world? I hope you enjoy today's episode. Please like and share if you got something out of t…

I hate to admit that sometimes anti-gun supporters are right about guns being used irresponsibly. In today's episode, I give my thoughts on Gabby Giffords of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence tweeting about the gross negligence of a firearm by a 85-year-old man that put a young man in the hospital for ringing a doorbell. We gun owners…

On today's episode, I look over an opinion piece on commonsense gun laws and why I hate that term. I do my best to remain open minded to these opinion pieces. I rant about the fact that we already have a ton of gun laws on the federal and state levels. More won't do much else. Here's the link to the opinion piece by Carl Gibson: I'm a gun owner. I …

On today's episode, I talk about how important it is to lose yourself in a craft of your choice. It can whatever draws your attention. Never force yourself into a craft just because you think you'll amass large sums of money or fame. You don't have to make your passion or obsession your full time job, but you do need an obsession to live. Here is t…

On today's episode, I share my feelings on the Nashville shooting that claimed the lives of 6 innocent students and school staff at the Covenant School. There are people who consider the shooter to be a victim of sorts and that perplexes me and makes me sick to my stomach. Here is the CNN article on the 6 victims. May they rest in peace and the fam…

On today's episode, I share my thoughts and experience with testing myself to see if I have any psychopathic traits and the results were a little shocking, but almost nothing new. In case you're curious to see if you might have psychopathic traits, here's a link to the Triarchic Psychopathy Measures test: Psychopathy Test | Screening Tests for Psyc…

A late Friday update on how my willpower deserves a drink but I still kept my word to upload every week. Hope you spend your weekend well.

On today's episode, I rant about the First Lady of the United State criticizing a suggestion for our political leaders to get mental competency checks after a certain age to see if they are still fit to lead. It's not a bad idea. Here is a link to the article mentioned in the episode: Jill Biden Says Idea Of Mental Competency Tests For Older Politi…

Ja Morant's antics are getting in the way of his success once more. This time, there is a rumor amid the NBA that Ja Morant was suspended after a new incident involving the beating of a teenager and gun surfaced from 2021. I give my take on this new development. Somehow, this is a continuation of the "Stop Pretending" saga. I'll try to keep this st…

A bonus episode on trends getting dumber than ever. Stop falling for them.

In today's bonus episode, I talk about acting right in the dangerous areas of Los Angeles and a personal experience that did not harden me but helped me gain awareness of my surroundings. Once again, if you're not from that gangster life, don't pretend to be from a certain gang or claim to have great connections. This is a follow up to Stop Pretend…

Today's episode is being released a day early because I am coming down with a bit of a cough. There are 3 things everyone should do in order to live a great life and I can tell you from experience that having # 3 is the most important. Without it, there's no point of doing anything else. Please enjoy and share if you get something useful or funny o…

On today's episode, I trash one of my favorite basketball players for pretending to be something he is not: a gangster. Ja Morant is not from the streets, but the man can ball. He's confident, but he's turning a lot of his supporters away from some of things he said or done. I hope that I am wrong and that he changes his ways. Only time and great g…

Whenever I hear that people don't like reading, I want to go back in time and punch out the creator of the Prussian education system. Reading is dope and I hope that one day we can all read above a 6thgrade level (It sounds like a joke, but it isn't). Find something fun to read and dive into it this weekend.…

On today's episode, I try to convince people to stay away from stupid TikTok trends and stick with watching YouTuber videos who have fun or do a lot of good for the world like FGTeeV and Mr. Beast. This is coming from a guy who thought these creators were dumb at one point, but I decided to pull my head out of my butt. I'm glad I did. Here's that N…

On today's episode, I give some thoughts on people who blow their life savings on crypto. While I believe in its utility, but I wouldn't put my life savings into it. After watching Netflix's documentary on QuadrigaCX (Trust No One), I trip out that greed makes us do some funny things. Having said that, I do feel bad for the people who were sold a q…

On today's episode, I go off on the talented people who are scared of putting out their work. I envy their natural talent, but those people need to put themselves out there. I hope this rant helps.

Disclaimer: I am not promoting drug use at all. If you can keep away from substances, please do so! Today's episode is about my thoughts on being asked if I ever tried hard drugs.

On today's episode, I talk about the recent mass shootings that occurred in California. 18 victims have lost their lives and what needs to follow in the next few days are honest conversations about what needs to be done about curbing the violence. I'm calling for Pro-2A supporters to work with gun control activists or people who are uninformed abou…

On today's episode, I respond to the involuntary manslaughter charges that Alec Baldwin received for his involvement in the Rust movie set shooting and death of Halyna Hutchinson. This episode might be upsetting to some, so just a forewarning.

On today's episode, I talk about my experience (or lack thereof) with handling firearms properly from a couple of years ago. While guns can be an effective tool for self-defense, they must be handled properly at all times. Even when you think there's no bullet in the gun, treat as if there was. Let my story be a lesson for all of you who want to pr…

This message is for the people who have been taking action for the last few months or who have hit that year mark of eating it. I know that you're going through the pain of wondering if this is going to work. I get that. Listen to this episode and keep going. I hope I can help you stay strong.

In today's episode, I rant about how Alex Hormozi's free videos and interviews on YouTube provide more value for business owners than a lot of these 20 year "world renowned guru" life coaches who package surface level information for a "heavily discounted" price. Alex could charge money for these videos, but he has nothing to sell us. I call one of…

I hate the king of cancerous influencers. I think he might of messed up for the last time calling out the best internet detective.

while it is important to deal with completing your new year's resolutions, dealing with negative traits cannot be placed on the backburner for too long. Dealing with your pessimism, need to be right about everything, and judgmental attitude is just as important as losing some weight or starting a new skill.…

A quick reflection on what I want to do with the podcast for 2023, a few projects I’m working on, and a reading from the Daily Laws by Robert Greene to cap off the year! Happy New Year and please party responsibly!

Zuck is up to something when it comes to constructing the Metaverse. I've only been able to scratch the surface of what might come of this monumental shift in how we hang out on social media. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of hell/utopia will arise from this growing metaverse. There are questions as to whether the mental effects of being i…

If you claim to be a lifelong learner, then you need to be able to do a lot of things that you find to be odd. On today's episode, I'm sharing 3 things that I tried to prove to myself that my identity of a lifelong learner was to be kept. I'm paraphrasing Derek Siver's words, but he said that if you aren't working on keeping a title, then it's time…

Too many of us are worried about outworking others. We look at guys like the Rock who can go in front of a bunch of NBA players to tell them he's going to outwork them. That's not taking anything away from the Rock. The man has worked hard to get where he's come from, but he should be worried about outworking himself instead. We all should. We are …

On Today's episode, I share a couple of poems I wrote during my bout with COVID-19 about my experiences with the lack of obsession with writing and the fact that I should be humbled in my writing process. I am also pleased to announce that I have a freaking website FINALLY. I've been talking about putting something together for listeners to come vi…

Another Mass Shooting. Another missed opportunity to come together to solve this crisis. On this episode I discuss my thoughts on the recent University of Virigina shooting and how this should really the last straw. We need to come together to curb violence and adding more ridiculous gun control laws is no longer the answer to this.…

On today's episode, I read a small section of Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett's 7 1/2 Lessons About the Brain and how it ties into the crypto fiasco that turned Twitter upside down on its head. This might be the last time I speak about this fiasco as it's still unveiling as we speak. I might do another episode on it next year, but I don't want to keep up …

On today's episode, I give you a small rundown on what might happen to crypto, and I will try the implosion of FTX through the eyes of someone who read a Coindesk article and still has no idea what the hell is going on. Also, my thoughts on Bryan Johnson's ketamine trial back in May and the results that were on display thanks to his Kernel Flow com…

On today's rant, I talk about the benefits and some of the drawbacks of internet challenges like No Nut November and the 75 Hard. I like the concept of both challenges, but they can be dangerous to some people. If you are looking to take on the challenges, do so with a bit of caution. Take care of yourself and fight every day.…

On today's Rapid Fire Rant, I talk about a tweet and a phone call that might just help you when you're down. It's a free call, it's an automated call, and best of all, the pep talks are given by 5-6 year olds. This is a project made by West Side Union Grade School students. Definitely listen to the episode, write the number down and share with othe…

A bonus episode. This is an addition to the last episode about the 10k hour rule. I read a small section of Russ' It's All in Your Head about playing the game of lie and give a brief explanation as to why it matters for becoming an expert.

On today's rant, I'm giving my two cents on this argument about the 10,000-hour rule first coined by Malcolm Gladwell. Should it be a rule? Should you fling yourself at a subject without much care of failure?

I'm giving you a funny hack that I discovered these past few days. It might change your life. It might not. Listen to this bonus episode and give it a shot! Enjoy!

On today's episode, an AI and myself will be writing a couple of stories and reading them to you, my dear listeners. I had plenty of fun trying this out and I hope that you give it a try as well. These stories are quite whacky.

On today's episode, we're keeping it light and reading from the Substack newsletter. We talk about card games, diet changes, and writing challenges. I hope you enjoy and if you liked what you hear on the podcast, follow us on Twitter @Crushrants247. Thank you and be well!

On today’s episode, I reflect back on a few things such as expectations and goals since this Thursday makes it the 27th year I’ve been on this planet. I hope you enjoy it and you stay safe.

On today’s rant, I discuss some of my thoughts on OpenAI, Once Upon a Bot, and the Wonder App. These AI technology astound me and yet freak me out as well. I hope that GPT-3 and other models gets better with time because there is so much potential to be seen from these programs.

Give reading another shot. I know you’ve grown tired of reading boring novels that served no purpose in your life, but find something else to dive into. It’ll help you think better and talk better.
