LX and Havok welcome back repeat guest Russell Van Brocklen the dyslexia professor chilling in Albany, NY (definitely not the crazy downstate chaos). It kicks off with epic hotel horror stories: $113 steal one year, $429 nightmare the next, plus a Times Square shoebox room where the bed touches the wardrobe doors. Then Russell drops his no BS playbook for turning AI into a tireless teammate using ChatGPT 5.4 extended thinking + Claude Opus Coworker. Learn the exact 10 moves the top 1% use to double or triple their output while still swimming at the YMCA and living life. Meet 10-year-old Grayson (99th percentile math/science) who’s already gunning for a NASA Mars-terraforming PhD, plus why Russell won’t let kids touch AI until 9th/10th grade (hello, Craft of Research). He breaks down custom memory workflows, reusable prompts, beating hallucinations, and why humans still own empathy, creativity, and final calls. We also geek out on the wild future of jobs, robotics, and why the right AI skills could mean three offers for every qualified human. Russell shouts out his life changing professor and teases his upcoming book If You Can Write, You Can Read.

Grab your sats and a side of street tacos this episode of the Space Tomatoes Podcast is pure decentralized chaos in the best way! Hosts Havok and LX welcome the delightfully pixelated Duncan Cary Palmer (Bitcoin OG, Nostr daily driver, inventor, writer, and proud thorn in the side of certain agencies). Duncan spills the beans on his “checkered past,” why he rocks the wizard look on Nostr, and how Bitcoin + Nostr are the ultimate middle finger to the powers that shouldn’t be. Expect zero BS talk on self-custody (“not your keys, not your coins”), peer-to-peer freedom, Mt. Gox lessons learned the hard way, mesh networks, Reticulum, Bitcoin meetups, and why using sats as actual money beats HODLing forever. Plus: colloidal silver machines that actually work, spontaneity vs. planning (surfing wins), epic taco rants, and a heartfelt shoutout to the real King.

Hosts Havok and LX welcome Robert Mahoney, founder and CEO of TVT Solutions (Targeted Violence & Terrorism Prevention) for a fresh take on why calling violence “random” is total nonsense. Instead of more cameras, battle-rattle cops, and fortress vibes, Robert makes the witty, human-first case for real prevention: spotting behavioral clues early, building multidisciplinary “care teams” in schools, libraries, FedEx routes, and beyond, and understanding how radicalization actually works (hint: it’s all about filling those identity, purpose, and community buckets). From reframing radicalization and why feelings drive behavior (not logic) to the pitfalls of hyper specialized systems, AI overkill, and reviving the spirit of true community care without stomping on civil liberties this one flips the security script from fear-based to empathy-powered. Thought provoking, practical, and way less dystopian than you’d expect. Tune in and discover how spotting struggles beats waiting for the boom every single time!

Havok and LX are joined by award-winning author Diana Colleen (They Could Be Saviors) for a hilarious, heartfelt conversation about trauma, ego death, and her bold idea of using psychedelic therapy on billionaires to fix greed and climate change.

In this eye-opening episode of the Space Tomatoes Podcast, Dr. Doug Cardell — economist, historian, and author of Why Socialism Struggles joins us to break down why socialism, communism, and fascism all lead to the same dead end: government control of the economy. Dr. Cardell explains: • The real definition of socialism (government owns everything) • Why centrally planned economies are doomed (chaotic systems + human self-interest) • How early American colonies nearly starved under collectivism until private property saved them • The difference between “working for a living” and creating value for others • Why minimum wage, student loans, and healthcare costs exploded (government tinkering, not capitalism) • A practical fix for boom-bust flipping with a scaled capital gains tax He also shares his powerful mindset shift: “People shouldn’t work for a living. What we should be doing is creating value.” A must-watch for anyone tired of utopian promises and ready for evidence-based economics. Timestamps: 00:00 – Opening & Value Creation Mindset 01:03 – Welcome Dr. Doug Cardell 02:47 – What Socialism Actually Is 03:03 – Socialism vs. Communism vs. Fascism 05:58 – Austrian vs. Keynesian Economics 10:13 – Why the Fed Can’t Predict the Economy 16:07 – Jamestown & Plymouth: Collectivism vs. Capitalism 19:16 – True Capitalism = Voluntary Value Creation 27:59 – Minimum Wage & Lost Youth Opportunities 34:28 – The Power of Creating Value (Burger Flipper Story) 42:59 – Why Young People Are Drawn to Socialism 55:18 – Stimulus Checks & Government Intervention 1:05:55 – Current State of the U.S. Economy 1:19:15 – Dr. Cardell’s Next Book & Where to Find Him Buy the book: Why Socialism Struggles → Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target Dr. Cardell’s site: dougCardell.com If you want real talk on economics, freedom, and human nature, follow us, and drop a comment: What’s ONE thing you wish more people understood about capitalism or socialism?
