Elizabeth Sarkissian joins the WiseNuts Podcast to share the incredible story of surviving a devastating car accident just days before her 18th birthday. After the car she was riding in went over a guardrail and tumbled hundreds of feet down a cliff, Elizabeth was left with 22 broken bones, spent three days in a coma, and faced uncertainty over whether she would ever walk normally again. She opens up about the night of the accident, the desperate search to find the car, what her parents went through while waiting for her rescue, and the long road back through surgeries and physical therapy. Elizabeth also speaks candidly about the mental battle that followed — PTSD, sleepless nights, struggling with her appearance and self-worth, and learning to appreciate the everyday things she once took for granted. Now 22, studying business at USC, running a business and applying to law school, Elizabeth explains how surviving the accident completely changed her perspective on work, family, gratitude and making the most of life. A powerful conversation about survival, resilience, family and rebuilding your life after everything changes. Don't forget to Like & Subscribe to our YouTube Channel so you never miss an episode!

What does a commercial pilot really think about chemtrails? In this episode of WiseNuts, we sit down with Armen Kenareki, a commercial pilot and former LAPD officer for a wide-ranging conversation about what really happens in the skies — from contrails and the controversial chemtrails debate to aviation accidents, emergency landings, air traffic control and the future of AI-powered flight. We also hear about his journey from aviation to the LAPD and back again, what it's really like flying commercial aircraft, how pilots train for emergencies, what happens if an engine fails, and just how safe flying actually is. Plus, the guys get into autonomous planes, helicopters, flat Earth, ultra-long-haul flights, luxury airlines, private jets and the secrets behind empty-leg flights.

The Last Guerilla Hussein is back on WiseNuts — and this conversation goes everywhere. From Sharia law, Islam and immigration to capitalism, socialism, Big Tech and government surveillance, Hussein sits down with the WiseNuts crew for a wide-ranging debate about some of the biggest cultural and political issues facing America and the West. The conversation gets into why Hussein left Florida for California, misconceptions surrounding Sharia law, changing demographics in places like London, immigration and assimilation, and why he says his views sometimes overlap with those of Christian nationalists — despite coming from a Lebanese Muslim background. The guys also debate whether the American Dream is becoming harder to achieve, rising housing costs, corporate monopolies, Google and Big Tech, capitalism vs socialism, privacy and how much information we willingly hand over through social media and technology. Later, the discussion turns to parenting, relationships, modern culture, illegal immigration, the two-party political system, Israel’s influence in American politics, freedom of speech and Hussein’s belief that freedom of thought may be even more important. It all ends with a deeper conversation about morality, reason, the soul, what it means to be a good person and how division can be used to keep people fighting amongst themselves. Another unfiltered WiseNuts conversation with plenty of disagreements, debates and perspectives along the way.Don't forget to Like & Subscribe to our YouTube Channel so you never miss an episode!
