Episode 15: The Lie of “Pro-Life” — What Your Pastor Won’t Tell You
In this episode, I unpack the truth behind America’s “pro-life” performance — from adoption myths to political control.

Joey Swole, self-appointed CEO of Gym Positivity, just showed his true colors—and not for the first time. In this follow-up to my viral Threads post about the "No MAGA In My Gym" sign, we unpack the backlash that came exactly as expected.

This is take two. This is a much more level-headed (and audible lol) version of my thoughts on The Camp Call Out Fallout. The first video? 25 minutes of pure silence. Always mic check, y’all.Anyway, it was meant to happen — I’m sure I was out of pocket in the first one. Anyways, I know I said I wouldn’t get petty or bring receipts, but listen... if you found your way off TikTok and made it here, you’re clearly built different. You ...

Spo...
America, We Need to Talk
