For much of this podcast, this is a "swapcast" with the Rack Me podcast, hosted by Chad Zumock, Ken Mosca, and Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur. The gang spoke with former Cleveland Browns KR/RB and New Jersey native Dino Hall about his career and football in general. Then Tony briefly chats with former Philadelphia Eagles QB and NFL commentator Ron Jaworski about heart health.

John Di Lemme is a writer and podcaster, and he is the author of the book Making Capitalism Great Again: How to Maximize America's Booming Economy, Plus the ABCs of Socialism Versus Capitalism. He talked to Tony Mazur on the Check Your Brain podcast about the last two years during the Covid hysteria, if "true socialism" has ever been tried, and how industries and small businesses can thrive after the pandemic.

In a Rack Me "swapcast" with Chad Zumock and Ken Mosca, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur discussed the Deshaun Watson situation from both a football and moral standpoint, and what this means for Baker Mayfield. They also touched on NFL free agency overall and the musical chairs in the broadcast booth this offseason.

On March 11th, 2020, COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic. By March 16th, restaurants, bars, gyms, salons, etc. all closed up shop almost nationwide. Two years later, mandates and restrictions are being dropped, but as Tony Mazur points out in this podcast, the psychological damage has been done, especially to children and their development.

Geno Bisconte (and Aaron Berg and Anthony Cumia) sadly WON'T returning to the Funny Stop in Cuyahoga Falls for another Comedians of the Compound. Geno is also the co-host of In Hot Water on Compound Media, and in part one of this podcast, he chats with Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur about comedy in 2022, Tony losing his grandmother and why he's angry about it, and favorite comic strips, from Peanuts to Calvin and Hobbes.

A timely podcast today with Tho Bishop, editor at the Mises Institute and proud resident of Florida's "Redneck Riviera." Tho joined the Check Your Brian podcast to talk about who Ludwig von Mises was, about the Mises Institute, and the libertarian viewpoint of Putin and Russia, Zelensky and Ukraine.

The quest to "cancel" Joe Rogan continues, this time with compilations of him using the N-word in different contexts. Spotify is in an odd place as being a platform for podcasts, not a publisher, yet the calls to throw Rogan off of the service are white hot.

Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur weighs in on this predicament, which he believes to be a bad precedent as far as furthering sometimes uncomfortable conversations.
