In the first episode of the year, Marcus L-Spade Johnson lays out a blunt reality check for 2026.

This episode dismantles the comforting myths we’ve been sold—about money, masculinity, culture wars, social media “experts,” conspiracies, and political loyalty. From the rise and collapse of the internet tough-guy persona to selective outrage, power protecting predators, and the real reasons Americans feel broke, this is a no-nonsense examination of where we are and what needs to end.

No team sports. No culture-war distractions.
Just receipts, accountability, and an insistence on living in reality.

We’ve Been Here Before: Venezuela & the Iraq Playbook breaks down the story behind the headlines.
No hot takes. No talking points. Just history, incentives, and consequences.

In this episode, Army veteran Marcus L-Spade Johnson examines why the U.S. intervenes abroad, how “dictators” and “drugs” become cover stories, and why Venezuela follows a familiar pattern that echoes Iraq. From oil and resources to war powers and executive overreach, this podcast connects past decisions to present risks—and asks who really pays the price.

If you care about foreign policy, history, and truth over propaganda, this is for you.

Sometimes you have to leave home to see it clearly.

In this episode of The Common Knowledge Podcast, Marcus L-Spade Johnson sits down with L. Maxwell to break down the chaos of 2025 — the Trump administration’s contradictions, the endless culture-war distractions, and the uncomfortable truths Americans avoid when they’re too close to the noise.

From living overseas and watching America from the outside, to questioning the narratives we’re sold at home, this conversation is about perspective, accountability, and why reality hits different when you step back.

This isn’t partisan spin.
It’s a reality check.

In this episode of The Common Knowledge Podcast, Marcus L-Spade Johnson breaks down algorithmic pricing—how AI tracks your behavior, cookies, location, and demand to quietly decide what you pay for the same products and services as everyone else.

We connect the dots between rising algorithm-driven prices, a recession already hitting the lower half of America, and an internet flooded with scams, fake opportunities, and predatory “solutions.” When money gets tight, exploitation gets smarter—and AI is at the center of it.

This episode is about understanding the system, spotting the traps, and protecting yourself in an economy where prices aren’t random—they’re calculated.

On this episode of The Ran-Dumb Show, we break down the IBF’s decision to strip Terence Crawford of his belt. Was this a fair enforcement of the rules, or another example of boxing politics punishing elite fighters? We debate whether Crawford should’ve paid the sanctioning fee, how much power boxing organizations really have, and whether fighters should keep playing along with a broken system—or finally push back.

America loves the story that it has “moved forward.” But has it?
In this episode of Common Knowledge, Marcus L-Spade Johnson sits down with Lionel T. to examine America from the outside looking in breaking down racial injustice, the historical roots of white supremacy, and how those systems continue to shape politics, policing, economics, and everyday life today. This isn’t nostalgia or outrage bait this is a reality check on a system that was never meant to be equal and was never truly dismantled.

In this episode of The Common Knowledge Podcast with Marcus L. Spade Johnson, author Johnny Moore III joins the show to discuss his new book Anchored — a 30-day guide designed to rebuild men from the inside out. Together, Marcus and Johnny dive deep into mental health, faith, and identity in the Black community.

They unpack how Anchored challenges men to confront pain, rediscover self-worth, and build inner strength — while also exploring Marcus’s Five-Point Plan for how Black churches can transform tithes into long-term community wealth through endowments, education, and cooperative investment.

It’s an unfiltered conversation on healing minds and building money — because real liberation starts with both.

This week on The Common Knowledge Podcast, Marcus L-Spade Johnson breaks down how both political parties helped steer the country straight into another government-shutdown standoff — and why keeping the government open should be the bare minimum.
Next, we dig into the numbers out of Memphis: 50 days of National Guard deployment cost taxpayers $3.5 million. Was anything actually improved, and what’s the long-term plan once the troops leave?
Finally, we close out with Trump’s brewing PR disaster surrounding the newly resurfaced files — what’s in them, why they’re damaging, and how this could shake up the political landscape.
