#438 Dr. Thomas Lodi - “There Is No Such Thing As Disease”
2026/10/23
Zuby is joined by Dr. Thomas Lodi, a physician trained in internal medicine at Columbia who walked out of his oncology fellowship after six months, convinced the treatments were harming patients. He now runs An Oasis of Healing in Arizona and four centres in Thailand, practising what he calls integrative oncology.
Lodi argues that Western society has medicalised life itself, that naming a condition turns a bodily process into an enemy to be fought, and that the disease model was shaped by Rockefeller’s Flexner Report to create a point of sale. He makes the case for understanding cancer as a metabolic condition rather than a genetic one, drawing on Otto Warburg’s Nobel-winning work and Thomas Seyfried’s cybrid experiments.
Zuby pushes back on germ theory. They also cover the fear response to a cancer diagnosis and what Lodi calls amygdala hijacking, the thymus gland’s role in ageing immunity, EMF and calcium channels, why he believes the low-fat consensus is backwards, and therapeutic fasting.

#437 Marcos Schotgues - I Went Inside Venezuela After Maduro Fell. Here’s What I Saw
2026/10/16
Zuby is joined by Marcos Schotgues, Latin America correspondent for The Epoch Times and editor in chief of Epoch Times Brazil. Marcos spent seven days reporting from inside Venezuela after Nicolás Maduro was captured by the United States. The resulting documentary, Venezuela After Maduro, has just won Best Documentary at the New York Film Awards.
The conversation covers how one of the richest countries in Latin America became the source of the largest refugee exodus in modern history, why Venezuela became a national security threat to the US through its links to Iran, Russia and China, and the cartel that ran the government itself. Plus, much more—enjoy!

#436 Leon Wankum - Why Houses Keep Getting More Expensive
2026/10/09
Zuby is joined by investor, real estate developer, and author of the new book Digital Real Estate, Leon Wankum. Leon wrote his master's thesis on Bitcoin back in 2015, then spent the next six years developing property. Leon explains why Bitcoin is the digital counterpart to the largest store of value on earth.
The conversation breaks down why money loses purchasing power by design, what actually happened in 1971, and why real estate, not gold, is the right benchmark for understanding Bitcoin's potential. Leon explains the four-year halving cycle against the 18-year property cycle, why crashes are healthy, and why he thinks the most financially successful people are the hardest to convince.
They also dig into why inflation creates a convincing illusion of prosperity, how innovation financed by credit can never make things cheaper, what Leon believes is the real threat to Bitcoin, and why the solution to the housing crisis is not cheaper loans.

#435 Katharine Birbalsingh - Britain's Strictest Headmistress
2026/10/02
Zuby is joined by Katharine Birbalsingh, the headmistress of London's Michaela Community School who is often called 'Britain's strictest headmistress'. Katharine argues that the damage done to children during the 'peak woke' years of 2020-2022 is permanent, and that anyone who was in education during that period emerged with a worldview shaped by victimhood and identity politics.
She explains why you have to raise your children as if you are going to war and how the enemy is everywhere. She also offers parenting advice on reading, screens, and choosing a school.

#434 Austin Petersen - Former Presidential Candidate Admits "I Was Wrong About Trump"
2026/09/25
Zuby is joined by former Libertarian presidential candidate and host of 'Wake Up America', Austin Petersen. Austin opens up about the things he got badly wrong, from Donald Trump to drug legalisation, and why he was booed on a Libertarian debate stage for saying it should be illegal to sell heroin to children. The conversation covers audience capture, why big podcasters rarely change their minds, and how fatherhood reshapes one's politics. Zuby and Austin also discuss the cultural aspects of liberty, why the Gulf states may be the most economically libertarian countries, and if the American Dream is still achievable for most.

#433 Calvin Robinson - Is Islam The Biggest Threat To Britain?
2026/09/18
Calvin Robinson is a British priest, cultural commentator, and author of 'The Silent Jihad'. Now living in Michigan after leaving the UK, Calvin makes the case that Britain has traded its freedoms for a false sense of security. The conversation covers his new book, the argument that a nation must choose between Christian and Islamic foundations, and why he believes the West is living through the darkest age in human history. Zuby questions the homogeneity-equals-safety argument, collective punishment, and Calvin's position that Muslims shouldn't be permitted to live in Britain.

#432 Tyler Todt - He Made $1M By 26 Playing Poker. It Wasn't Enough
2026/09/11
Zuby is joined by "the most positive man on the internet", Tyler Todt. Tyler shares his story; from dropping out of college and winning seven figures playing professional poker, to waking up at 34 depressed, overweight, and on an SSRI that made everything worse. Eight and a half years later he's in the best shape of his life, financially free, and coaching thousands of men. The conversation covers why the USA is drowning in depression and obesity, why blaming social media is outsourcing personal responsibility, and the danger of giving away your power.

#431 Franklin Camargo - How Socialism Destroyed Venezuela
2026/09/04
Zuby is joined by political and cultural commentator Franklin Camargo, who was born and raised in Venezuela and now lives in the United States. Franklin shares how the fourth richest economy in the world in the 1950s became a country where 90% of the population lives in poverty and why the destruction started long before Chávez ever took power. The conversation covers why light socialism paves the way for radical socialism, the moral argument that facts alone can never win, why communism doesn't carry the same stigma as fascism despite a higher body count, the Maduro cartel, and why envy is what keeps socialism alive.

#429 Dr. Mary Talley Bowden - The Doctor They Tried to Silence Speaks Out
2026/08/21
Zuby is joined by Houston-based ENT physician and author Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, one of the most persecuted doctors of the Covid era. Mary treated over 6,000 Covid patients as an independent physician while institutions worked to shut her down. Mary was denied hospital privileges, publicly branded as spreading "dangerous misinformation," and is still fighting the Texas Medical Board today. The conversation covers the coordinated FDA smear campaign against ivermectin, the court order a hospital simply refused to obey while a father of six died, the $11.5 billion taxpayer-funded influencer campaign that pushed the "safe and effective" narrative, the vaccine-injured patients being told it's all in their heads, the Fauci hearings, and why the collapse of trust may be the most damaging legacy of all.

#428 Maj Toure - The Media Is Lying to You About America
2026/08/14
Zuby is joined by Philadelphia native, libertarian, and founder of Black Guns Matter, Maj Toure. Maj gives a raw and unflinching assessment of the state of America — from mass civic ignorance and a currency that's lost 96% of its value, to what he calls the most disappointing presidency he's ever witnessed. The conversation digs into dead internet theory, why 51% of online traffic is bots, and how the vitriol you see online bears almost no resemblance to real life. Maj and Zuby also confront the resurgence of racial collectivism on all sides, why so many people abandon their principles the moment the target changes, the psyop of division, and why staying nuanced in a polarised world is about to become the most valuable position of all.

#426 Jeremy Ryan Slate - America Is Repeating Rome's Fatal Mistakes
2026/07/31
Zuby is joined by CEO of Command Your Brand and creator of The Roman Pattern, Jeremy Ryan Slate. Jeremy shares the parallels between the fall of the Roman Empire and the current trajectory of the United States and the West. From currency debasement and open borders to the feminisation and gender confusion he traces all back to first-century Rome. The conversation explores what happens when a civilisation stops producing serious leaders, the double-edged sword of modern technology, why democracy incentivises short-termism, and whether America can escape the same fate that ended a thousand-year civilisation.

#425 Samuel Leeds - How He Bought 6 Houses at 19 with No Money
2026/07/24
Zuby is joined by property investor, developer, and online educator Samuel Leeds. Samuel opens up about leaving school at 16 and buying his first six properties with no money down at age 19. The conversation covers why buying your primary residence is often a mistake, how to buy houses (and even entire companies) for free, why the UK has "gone crazy" with taxation and cultural decline, being called out by name in Parliament for teaching tax mitigation, the truth about Gary's Economics and the wealth tax fantasy, why envy drives so much of modern politics, and Samuel's mission to change UK culture and mentor the next generation.

#424 Noah Rothman - The Left-Wing Violence Nobody Wants to Talk About
2026/07/17
Zuby is joined by senior writer at National Review and author, Noah Rothman. Noah reveals the wave of political violence that mainstream institutions refuse to confront. From the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump, to the killing of Charlie Kirk, the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and more. The conversation explores why the data supposedly proving right-wing violence is more prevalent is deeply flawed, why revolutionary movements have always been drawn to bloodshed, how Antifa was mainstreamed, the difference between condemnation and rationalisation, the role of blue sky-style silos in radicalising individuals, and why America may only be one bullet away from a catastrophe most people can't imagine.

Oh no, you on the wrong side of history
Couple years ago you were pushing bitcoin, look where that led. Some of your ideas are great but many of your main ideas will take society down.
