A week ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated, shot in the throat during a speaking tour in Utah. As of this podcast, we know more about the assassin, including his personal life, the Discord channels he was a part of, and yes, his left-wing political views. Make no mistake about this: Charlie Kirk was murdered because he was a conservative Christian espousing conservative Christian ideas. This was a political assassination, one this country hasn't seen in a half century, and one would think there would be calls to lower the temperature, to tamp down the rhetoric. Sadly, the opposite is the case, as Hasan Piker and Destiny still have large streaming platforms after calling for more political violence up to and including death.

In this episode, Tony Mazur covers it all, from what we know about Tyler Robinson and how the news media is already coddling him, the progressives getting fired for cheering on the assassination, Pam Bondi fumbling everything, and the Boomer who caused the initial distraction after the shooting has been arrested.

Whatever one thinks of Elon Musk these days, his purchase of Twitter in 2022 was a major victory in favor of free speech. Because of that, stories like the horrific stabbing death of Iryna Zarutska won’t be swept under the rug.

X users are now asking the tough questions and having the uncomfortable conversations that were considered too hot for the previous Twitter regime. In a sense, X users are the new media, while the regime media continues to expose themselves as state propagandists.

In this free episode of the Check Your Brain podcast, Tony Mazur looks at how this tragedy is covered by the press and how their first instinct is to blame the MAGA movement (“Republicans pounce”) for noticing. That noticing goes from the patterns of violence in that demographic, as well as how the system continues to let scum like DeCarlos Brown Jr. out of jail after over a dozen arrests.

Week 1 of the NFL season literally kicks off this week, and long-time friend of Tony Mazur's, Rick Morris of FantasyDraftHelp.com, stopped by for a preview. First, he shared his do's and dont's when it comes to picking players for fantasy leagues, and they got into how not only is the NFL a copycat league, but fantasy sports are like that as well. Then Rick gives his predictions for each division and his Super Bowl teams, which were out of left field to some viewers.

Be sure to check out Rick's draft guide, the PDF found here: fantasydrafthelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/FantasyFootballDraftology2025.pdf

In an episode that crescendos from silly to serious, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur gets in the Wayback Machine to the early 2010s and covers the phase the West went through with hipsterdom. Hipster culture was exemplified by a phony blue-collar motif, making practical things slightly worse, and listening to terrible music like The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons (hence "stomp, clap, hey"). It's more of a mirror into the sad lives many 1980s-born Millennials have experienced and are currently experiencing, through some fault of their own.

But it's not all serious, as Tony talks about his recent string of odd concerts he has seen.

Chad Zumock is a comedian, podcaster, and very frequent guest of the Check Your Brain podcast. However, the vast majority of those appearances are done remotely, with Chad being in Florida and Tony Mazur up in Ohio. But Chad stopped over Tony's house, and they riffed on how the Z-Man gets under peoples' skin, the goals in comedy changing, who he's at war with online, and a tribute to Ryne Sandberg and the 1980s WGN Chicago Cubs.

Chad is back on Patreon, as his last account was nuked. The link is https://www.patreon.com/WorldWarZ.

Adam Koehler is an entrepreneur from the Cincinnati area (specifically Price Hill) who is more than upset with what is going on in his home city of late. He joined Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast to blast city leaders and their backwards and divisive mindset. Of course, they addressed the continued fallout from the brawl in downtown Cincinnati that occurred two weekends ago, from the DEI police chief to councilmembers believing the white family deserved to get beaten.
