Six Years (or 2,191 Days) to Flatten the Curve

Check Your Brain ·

2026/03/11

Six years ago on March 11th, 2020, the New Normal kicked off. The world we knew on, say, March 10th no longer existed. The way the politicians and pundits flood the public with war propaganda (as seen with the recent Iran strikes), the same tactics were used during the Covid years. Instead of a Middle Easterner, the enemy we needed to fight was a spooky, invisible virus.In this annual episode, Tony Mazur takes a look back at the insanity that was 2020, as well as 2021 when the vaccine mandates

Cognitive Dissonance on Epstein, Iran Strike

Check Your Brain ·

2026/03/04

After spending half of this Check Your Brain episode talking about the DabbleVerse and Stuttering John Melendez, Tony Mazur reads a New York Times opinion piece on why the Epstein files should have never been released. Tony disagrees, believing everything should be released, but it's true that a story like this may be too layered and nuanced for the average person to grasp. If their takeaway is "yeah, but Trump is in the files," they're not a serious person. They're a partisan who roots for one team

The Swift Downfall of the Chain Restaurant

Check Your Brain ·

2026/02/25

For decades, families gathered in their big ol' vehicles and enjoyed a nice night out at a chain restaurant. The purpose of these chains is, no matter where you're located, you'll have generally the same food and experience at a reasonable price.

Oh, So There WERE Epstein Files

Over the weekend, a new batch of Jeffrey Epstein emails were released, after nearly a year of the Trump administration and other ConInc. pundits saying they didn't exist.
