Hey folks, it’s Earnest Mann. In this episode, I’m unpacking what the media insists on calling a “monster winter storm of biblical proportions” — and let’s just say, my sympathy levels are somewhere between a rock and a sociopath. Not because I want people to suffer (don’t cancel me yet), but because the real disaster isn’t the storm — it’s the nonstop media masturbation around it.

I kick things off by clarifying that I simply don’t care. The storm can howl, snow can bury cities, and I’m still not tuning into CNN’s Stormageddon Countdown. Why? Because this never-ending 24/7 weather porn is doing more damage to your sanity than the storm is to your porch.

Let’s talk about the sensationalist psychosis the news has become. It’s a grotesque mashup of pre-game babble, live-action trauma, and postgame power outage laments — all followed by ads for incontinence pads and rectal itch cream. Why suffer nature’s wrath when you can suffer through that?

I even toss a prayer out to Jesus to check on the Big Guy upstairs, because clearly He’s let the thermostat break. From climate instability to overpopulation, I lay out why this is less a freak storm and more a preview of humanity’s hot garbage future. Want it fixed? Ask people to have fewer kids. Or corporations to pay taxes. I’ll wait.

As always, I hope minimal harm came from this mess. But let’s be honest — weather is just the third wheel in life's inevitability throuple, right behind death and taxes. And unlike your ex, it won’t ghost you. Until next time, stay warm, stay skeptical, and for the love of your mental health, turn off the damn TV.

Hello, Earnest Mann here. Let’s set the record straight — food prices in this country aren’t just high, they’re obscene. And that difference isn’t just semantics. It’s the difference between being ripped off and being robbed blind. In this episode, I unpack a manipulative pricing scheme hiding in plain sight, engineered not by your friendly neighborhood farmer, but by the mega grocery store chains who have no interest in “razor-thin margins,” no matter how many press releases say otherwise.

You’ve been told that rising prices at the grocery store are just passed down from struggling suppliers, right? Wrong. Most of these large supermarket chains buy food at nearly identical prices — because there are only about six supply chain companies in the U.S. But unlike what they’d have you believe, these corporations dictate prices down to suppliers, not the other way around. The reason you’re paying more for the same bottle of ketchup at Whole Foods isn’t about ambiance or overhead — it’s corporate greed wrapped in marketing manipulation, pioneered by none other than Edward Bernays back in the 1930s.

“Marketing” sounds innocent. But what it really means is psychological manipulation. It convinces you that paying more is reasonable — even necessary — when in truth, it’s a tool for profit maximization at your expense. Grocery chains aren't reacting to prices — they're setting them, and using a well-oiled machine of consumer perception to keep you docile while they hike your bill.

They’ll claim razor-thin margins while raking in billions. Don't buy the story. I know the numbers. I’ve seen the wholesale costs and I’ve tracked the sky-high markup percentages. These corporations aren’t victims of inflation — they’re engineers of it.

Unless the government does what it did in the 1970s and institutes price controls, this runaway freight train will keep barreling down the tracks — crushing households under a mountain of manufactured scarcity and inflated prices. Right now, we’re letting the fox guard the henhouse. And not only is he still hungry, he’s also running the damn store.

This is Earnest Mann, and I’m furious. On January 7th, just one week into a shiny new year, ICE officer Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Mlin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three. This wasn’t an accident. It was state-sanctioned murder. And you can trace the blood trail all the way up to the throne of America’s very own aspiring dictator.

Let’s be clear: ICE was never meant to keep Americans safe. It’s a tool of authoritarian control, created and enabled by the delusions of a narcissistic autocrat who mistakes cruelty for strength. Without ICE officers on the scene, Renee would still be alive. But ICE isn't about protection. It’s about enforcement — plain and brutal.

Here’s the truth: ICE agents and some cops have become enforcers — like mob thugs in uniform, doing the bidding of a wannabe king under the guise of “law and order.” And what’s the real order? Obey or suffer. Protest and die. The message is loud and grotesquely clear.

The system has been tuned for maximum terror, offering immunity to violent officers while striking fear into everyday citizens. When Jonathan Ross pulled the trigger, he didn’t just kill one woman — he helped send a message. A message that says they can kill you too, and walk away clean.

But here’s a twist authoritarian rulers never see coming: Most ICE and police officers aren’t monsters. They’re human. They have consciences. And if they choose to stop playing the enforcer role and stand with citizens instead of oppressors, this whole rotten structure collapses. That’s not fantasy — that’s history.

Martin Niemöller warned us 80 years ago: Eventually, they will come for you. So don’t just march for the sake of marching. March with purpose. Protest with clarity. And direct your message where it matters — to the police who still have souls. Ask them to stop helping a system built on fear, intimidation, and death. Because if they do, the dictator’s power crumbles fast.

Renee Nicole Mlin Good should still be here. Her kids should still have their mother. And if there’s any justice left, her murder will be the last straw.

Hello, Earnest Mann here. Today I’m pulling back the curtain on the US military's new recruitment strategy—and let me warn you, it reads like satire... but it’s not. Starting mid-2026, the Armed Forces are shifting gears. We’re talking lowered ASVAB IQ requirements, reduced physical standards, and a whole new level of inclusivity that’s being marketed as progress—but smells a bit more like policy-by-committee.

The ASVAB test, formerly a gatekeeping tool to determine military roles based on aptitude, is being recalibrated. The new target IQ range? 60 to 75. Yes, you heard that right. This move allegedly solves two problems: it keeps the brain drain from sapping the private sector, and it ensures new recruits are, well, easier to manage. Think “don’t ask why, just comply” levels of docility. Apparently, that's now the ideal soldier profile.

Forget what you’ve seen in war movies. Physical standards are being dramatically reduced for both men and women, and the weight limit is going up by 40 pounds. Why? Because group cohesion apparently works best when nobody feels superior for being able to run a mile without collapsing. And if you think this is some kind of joke—well, I wish it was.

All of this is being spun as part of a “kinder, gentler” military. The recruitment funnel is being widened in the name of inclusivity, but the underlying message is clear: compliance over competence. Strength in numbers, not in ability. And if all goes to plan, we’ll end up with a force the Pentagon thinks could outshine even World War II’s enlisted ranks. No, seriously—they said that.

So what does this military transformation actually achieve? A larger, more malleable force that’s easier to manage but potentially less capable under pressure. The reduced entry standards might boost recruitment numbers, but at what cost to effectiveness, morale, and readiness? If nothing else, it’s a bold new chapter in military policy—or a bureaucratic fever dream, depending on how much faith you have left in institutions.

Hello, Earnest Mann here. Today I’m painting a very appetizing picture of modern America’s eating habits and then asking a simple question. Why are we still wasting precious minutes deciding where to eat when that decision could be eliminated entirely? In this episode, I introduce what I believe is the inevitable evolution of fast food efficiency and consumer convenience. Entrepreneurs, sharpen your pencils. This is the billion dollar lunch idea you didn’t know you were craving.

We already worship at the altar of fast food chains like McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Arby's, Jack in the Box, Sonic, and Carl's Jr.. So why not stop pretending we enjoy choice and unify them under one glorious, centralized feeding facility? The Hogs Trough solves the exhausting problem of deciding where to eat by offering everything in one place. No thinking, no debating, no regret.

The Hogs Trough improves on the current system by eliminating indoor dining altogether. No tables, no bathrooms, and no awkward human interaction. You remain safely sealed inside your vehicle while food arrives with industrial precision. This is drive-thru efficiency perfected, designed for people who want lunch, not social interaction or unnecessary eye contact.

In the near future, robotic automation takes over food prep and drive-thru service. No attitude, no mistakes, no fragile human emotions. Service androids will politely thank you no matter how unhinged you become over missing sauce packets. Consistency, calm, and compliance. Everything customers say they want, whether they realize it or not.

Yes, a few stubborn independent restaurants may linger for a while. But between corporate efficiency and government partnership, the Hogs Trough will gently guide consumers toward the only sensible choice left. Progress has a way of removing obstacles, especially inefficient ones with nostalgia and character.

Hello, Earnest Mann here. One thing I hear about constantly is the excessive cost of housing, and with the average home price hovering around 360K, I completely understand the frustration. So many of you listen to my show looking for real answers, not recycled nonsense. In this episode, I present a radical housing solution that challenges the entire concept of modern home ownership, and I believe it is something that not only can be done, but should be done.

For nearly 80 years, home ownership as the American Dream has been relentlessly pushed on the public. From the end of World War II until around 1975, that dream was achievable, even on a single income. I lived it. My father worked a union job at a steel mill, and that income paid for a home, a car, food, and savings. That world no longer exists, and anyone pretending otherwise is ignoring economic reality.

Workable solutions always require compromise. If you cannot accept that, then nothing changes. If you are sick of skyrocketing home prices, you must consider solutions that sound uncomfortable or even offensive at first. What I propose forces people to confront reality rather than cling to comforting illusions about ownership.

The only rational solution is to end private home ownership for the working class and convert housing into properties rented from banks and large financial institutions. I call this proposal Never Own a Home Again, or NOHA. Under this system, citizens are classified into citizens and subcitizens. Anyone earning under $1 million per year is a subcitizen and is legally barred from owning residential property.

There are no mortgages under NOHA. Mortgages are already a form of rent paid to banks, yet people falsely believe they own their homes. Until the final payment is made, the bank owns everything. NOHA eliminates that delusional thinking by making the truth explicit.

Under NOHA, subcitizens rent homes from banks or private equity firms indefinitely. They remain responsible for maintenance, repairs, and upkeep, because banks do not tolerate losses. When financial hardship hits, and it always does, the property is repossessed just as it is today, except now there is no illusion of lost equity or ownership.

This system protects banks, corporations, and those with multi-million-dollar incomes, while forcing working people to accept their economic position honestly. It is a solution that business, law enforcement, and financial institutions would fully support.

Hey, it’s Earnest Mann. In this episode, I break down the brutal truth behind Tyson Foods’ 3,200 worker layoffs in Nebraska and expose the unexpected connection to the sudden firing of Matt Walsh, replaced by the eerily similar but lesser-known Juan Valdez. This isn’t just about job cuts—it’s about the profit-first mindset of corporate giants and how even loud conservative voices get replaced when they become too expensive.

I begin by unpacking what really happened with Tyson. It wasn’t that the plant was failing—it just wasn’t profitable enough. That’s the new corporate standard. I ask listeners to view this through an inhuman lens, where workers are seen as profit leeches—a phrase I use purposefully. The company is now turning to migrant labor, replacing union workers with desperate, low-wage individuals in a move that reeks of corporate psychopathy. All in the name of maximizing margins.

Now for the twist—Matt Walsh is being replaced by Juan Valdez, a Colombian businessman with a shocking obsession with Walsh. This guy didn’t just imitate Walsh—he became him. Fluent in English and Spanish, Valdez appeals to a broader demographic, boasts stronger charisma, and most importantly, he comes at a fraction of the cost. Valdez offers everything Walsh did, but better, and cheaper. For the media corporations looking to cut costs while keeping the same messaging machine rolling, this was an easy call.

What ties this all together? The values. Tyson Foods and Matt Walsh share the same profit-first, people-last philosophy. So it’s fitting that both situations are dictated by money, not morality. Walsh, despite his persona, is now on the losing end of the same game he championed—replaced by someone who does his act for less. No need for tears—Walsh is still rich. But it’s a poetic irony worth noting.
