Original Air Date - 8/22/24 Comedian and host of Normal World, Dave Landau, sits down with Bridget for a fun conversation about how they should start their own morning show, Dave’s childhood in Detroit, their respective struggles with addiction, Agent Orange, AIDS, parents with mental illness, dealing with Satanists in rehab, their experiences in mental hospitals, how Dave’s teacher suggested he get into stand up, the ups and downs of his career, and stumbling into the culture wars. They cover texting each other when Trump was shot, living in a country where the middle class has been eviscerated, how we’re becoming a country that we’re not supposed to be, the rise of billionaires, how people want to be inspired, what he loves about America, finding happiness, and Dave shares his advice for people struggling with depression. Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

E370. Dave Landau Is A Comedy Genius

Boots-on-the-ground journalist Salena Zito, sits down with Bridget to discuss the gaping chasm between online discourse and the reality of heartland America, Salena’s eyewitness account of the Butler rally shooting from her position just feet away from President Trump, and his inspiring response to her question days later about why he said, “Fight, fight, fight.” They cover the cultural betrayals that tanked Bud Light and the NFL, the quiet resurgence of faith among young people, why Trump’s visit to East Palestine, OH was the moment Salena knew he was going to be reelected, old-school journalistic integrity, what’s changed in media, and how place, community, and sheer resilience still quietly decide elections. It’s a can’t miss episode with the woman who drives around the country on back roads to truly get a sense of what’s going on with Americans. Buy Salena’s book Butler here - https://amzn.to/4s4xcaG Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

E369. How Cultural Elites Lost Touch With Heartland America - Salena Zito

Dad Saves America podcast host, John Papola, joins Bridget for a wide-ranging conversation about everything from the Crusades to life advice for teenage boys. They discuss John’s career trajectory, how he went from MTV, to Spike TV, to documentary filmmaker and ultimately to starting his podcast after COVID hit, why he wanted to take on harder subjects as topics, why 1998 was the peak of Western Civilization, the truth about the production industry, the coolest project he’s ever gotten to work on, why having children was radicalizing for both of them, and how the centers in our society have a kind of cultural group think that has become completely toxic. They also cover why victimhood is so seductive, the best advice his dad gave him, what you should look for in your partner, why the Crusades were awesome and saved the West, what we should be teaching our kids, and why America is worth saving. Check out the Dad Saves America podcast - https://bit.ly/WiW-DadSavesAmerica --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor Links: - Quest offers 100+ lab tests to empower you to have more control over your health journey.

E367. Real Men Read The Constitution - Dan Hollaway

Original Air Date - 6/21/23 Revisit a Walk-Ins Welcome classic Journalist and senior director of news at Tablet magazine, Jacob Siegel, sits down with Bridget to discuss his recent article A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century. In a chilling conversation Jacob explains the sudden pervasiveness of disinformation and how it became an organizing principle in most of the federal bureaucracy, the wholesale fraud being perpetrated on Americans, the precipitating factors, the organizations involved, and the replacing of human centric politics with data control. He details the effort to conjure a &quot;larger threat&quot; in order to justify the declaration of marshal law online, how such a threat justified the calls to move beyond free speech and free discourse as antiquated and too dangerous, the concept of hybrid warfare, the institutional process for prosecuting an information war with specific narratives, and how big tech companies - the most powerful institutions in the history of the world - make decisions in a manner that is inscrutable to humans and is also becoming increasingly structurally inaccessible to humans. They also discuss the domestic use of military technologies being used to “protect us from threats” which include people’s thoughts, using another language to try and get around AI censors, how the only way out is through, and what we can do in the meantime. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.
