In this episode, I dive into the strange saga of "six seven" - the viral phrase that has taken over TikTok, confused teachers, and possibly ended math as we know it. Then, I tackle the internet's most awkward medical headline - Ozempic Vagina - because apparently, weight loss comes with some unexpected...side effects. Then, the tone gets more serious as I unpack the hidden dangers of Kratom, the so-called "natural" supplement that is quietly ruining lives. From viral nonsense to real-world consequences, this episode is part humor, part cautionary tale - reminding us that not everything trending is worth trying, and that God's truth is still the best antidote to cultural confusion. #shoheiohtani#sixseven#ozempicvagina#thedangersofkratom#truehealingcomesfromgod#proverbs14:12#timpactfultopicspodcast
In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I dive into the wild world of Trump Derangement Syndrome - that mysterious condition turning once reasonable adults into cable-news parrots and hashtag warriors. With a little biting humor and surgical sarcasm, I walk listeners through the stages of affliction, the media outlets spreading it, and the treatments available for our politically panicked friends on the left. From MSNBC meltdowns to the hilarity of "No Kings Day" -where people who worship politicians pretend to hate authority - this episode exposes the absurdity of modern outrage culture and reminds us that sometimes the best medicine for madness is a little truth...and a Chick-fil-A sandwich. I then share the evolution of my views on President Trump, before revealing my TIMpactful Four Pack of Picks for the coming weekend. #trumpderangementsyndrome#nokingsday#myviewsontrump#nflfourgameparlay#timpactfultopicspodcast
In this episode, I break down why California's Proposition 50 isn't about fairness - it's about power. Behind the "Texas did it first" excuse, Prop 50 would let politicians redraw their own congressional maps and call it democracy. I cut through the spin with humor, logic, and a clear message: vote No on Prop 50.#votenoonprop50#youmaybeadummy#timpactfultopicspodcast
In today's rant, I dive headfirst into the slow, painful death of critical thinking in America. From "experts" who get everything wrong to college students quoting TikTok philosophers, this episode roasts a culture that's replaced logic with hashtags and curiosity with compliance. I skewer the media, social media, and the modern education system for turning free thinkers into echo chambers with Wi-Fi. It's a conservative takedown of the groupthink generation - sharp, funny, and brutally honest - reminding you that independent thought isn't a conspiracy theory...it's a survival skill. Then, I crack open the book of Malachi - God's last Old Testament warning shot - and see how it reads like a prophecy aimed straight at today's progressive churches. From watered-down sermons and self-centered worship songs to pastors who preach "affirmation" instead of repentance, I connect Malachi's rebukes to the modern pulpit. With biting humor and biblical truth, I explore how the Church has traded conviction for comfort, holiness for hashtags, and obedience for optics. The message? God hasn't changed - and neither has His expectation that His people honor Him above culture.
In this episode, I dive into the news that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show - and no, I'm not offended about it. I unpack who Bad Bunny is, why the NFL keeps confusing "spectacle" for "culture," and what a truly redemptive halftime show might look like (hint: it involves Chris Stapleton, Toby Mac, and Pat Boone). Ultimately, I conclude that Bad Bunny is not the Antichrist - just another mirror showing how far pop culture has drifted from the sacred to the absurd.
On today's milestone 200th episode, I kick things off by discussing why I shouldn't have to fund NPR and PBS, followed by my top five songs from Taylor Swift's new album. Then, I dive into a biblical roast-off: who's more like King Nebuchadnezzar - Donald Trump or Gavin Newsom? With Trump's love for monuments, golden branding, and courtroom humblings, and Newsom's perfect hair, Babylonian-scale boondoggles, and fiery policy furnaces, both seem ready to claim the Nebuchadnezzar crown. Through a sarcastic, biblical lens, I explore pride, power, and the humbling hand of God - reminding us that whether you're tweeting at 3 a.m. or banning gas stoves at breakfast, the grass always wins in the end.
Think you know how to navigate everyday life? Think again. From the delicate art of the nod, to pretending your phone is an urgent lifeline, to the unspoken rules of bathroom diplomacy - this episode explores the hilarious, invisible laws that govern human behavior. Follow along before you accidentally break a social contract. I also try out a new segment called Back In My Day.
Today, I tackle two topics:1. Is the 1st Amendment really under attack? As some people in the country decry the pushback on Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, as well as numerous suspensions and firings in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder, others think of it as karma and "consequence culture." I examine the topic from a Libertarian perspective. 2. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop star - she's the high priestess of America's most sparkly cult. From $2,000 "tithes" to jars of sacred concert air, Swifties have turned fandom into full-blown religion. Today, I break down the scriptures, the relics, the evangelism, and the Kool-Aid - all with a conservative dose of sarcasm.
Today, I give updates on several stories happening in our country: Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, the continued reactions to his murder, and some of the resulting fallout. The North Carolina Train Stabbing, the Evergreen, Colorado school shooting, and Luigi Mangione's day in court. I discuss Ryan Routh, who is representing himself in the Trump Attempted Assassination trial. I also talk about the clickbait outlet known as Occupy Democrats. Then I ask the question people all over the NFL are asking - Why are the Raiders so bad?
Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin is in custody. In this episode, I discuss a rough week for the country, and for me personally. I am heartbroken for this country. As radicals dance and celebrate the death of this man, I examine the depraved world that the next generation has been born into. We live in a world where people have been desensitized, lack empathy, and don't value human life. I also talk about the parallels between what is happening today and what happened in 1968. I get biblical and share some scriptures that are relevant to the evils we are experiencing in today's world.
Today, I briefly discuss the Charlie Kirk Assassination before addressing a brutal train stabbing in North Carolina, which revealed everything wrong with our justice system: a repeat offender with a long rap sheet, judges who set him free, bystanders who froze, and local leaders who tried to bury the story. The victim? A Ukrainian woman who came here to escape war - only to lose her life on American soil. In this episode, I expose the truth the mainstream media won't tell.
In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I tackle the hot-button question: What is Christian Nationalism? From a conservative perspective, I cut through the media spin and explain what the term really means - and what it doesn't. Is it a dangerous theocracy in disguise, or simply Christians refusing to leave their faith out of public life? I break down the misconceptions, the scare tactics, and the bigger issue of why Christians are the only ones told to keep their worldview out of politics.
Progressive churches promise love and inclusion but often leave out the truth of Scripture. In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I unpack how progressive Christianity drifts from the gospel and why biblical truth still matters more than cultural relevance.
From tragic events like today's Minneapolis Catholic Church shooting, the Charleston Bible study massacre, and the Nashville Covenant School attack, to the ongoing persecution of believers across the globe, Christians are increasingly under fire - both literally and culturally. I examine why these attacks often go underreported, what they reveal about the spiritual battle we face, and how the church is called to respond with courage, prayer, and unshakable faith.
In this episode, I celebrate the stunning Swift-Kelce engagement news. I then roast Third Way's brand-new "woke word retirement list" - the 45 terms Democrats are now told to stop using if they want to sound less like Twitter activists and more like normal humans. From "birthing person" to "Latinx" to "justice-involved individuals," I break down why these buzzwords never landed in real America and why ditching them won't fix the left's problems. Think of it as a vocabulary detox for the party of word salads.
In this episode, I take a stroll down memory lane, translating the blunt, no-nonsense words of the 80s and 90s into their modern, politically correct cousins. From "fat" to "full-figured," "janitor" to "custodian," and everything in between - it's a crash course in how society gave our vocabulary a makeover. Same reality, fancier words.
In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I pull back the curtain on The Wizard of Oz—and it’s less “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and more “OSHA’s Worst Nightmare.” From toxic makeup and asbestos snow to Judy Garland’s coffee and cigarette diet, I dive into the bizarre, dangerous, and downright dark side of Hollywood’s most “magical” classic.
From Samson on American Ninja Warrior to Jonah tanking The Amazing Race, I imagine which Bible characters would dominate modern reality TV - and which ones would get voted off in the first episode. Then I discuss how if the Apostle Paul were alive today, Twitter would explode, Instagram would slap warning labels on his letters, and late-night hosts would roast him nightly. In this segment, I imagine how cancel culture would handle the boldest preacher in history - and why some truths will always get you unfollowed.
In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I explore what it means when God speaks a single, unexpected word to our hearts — in this case, paradox. From Scripture’s upside-down truths to the ultimate paradox of the cross, we’ll see how God uses seeming contradictions to deepen our faith, challenge our understanding, and invite us into greater trust.
Is he the Anti-Christ? Or just the most photogenic threat to freedom since Justin Trudeau discovered hair gel? In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, I ask the bold question nobody else will (because they're too busy recycling and virtue-signaling): Is Gavin Newsom secretly fulfilling Revelation one press conference at a time?I break down the signs - fire, famine, vaccine passports, $6 gas, and statewide bans on...literally everything fun. From Napa dinners during lockdowns to sermons banned but weed dispensaries open, this isn't your grandma's Antichrist theory - it's a roast in three parts, and Gavin's the main course. Buckle up, charge your electric scooter, and join me as I explore whether the slick-haired governor of California is just a smug authoritarian - or something...biblically worse.
