Tell Me You’re Joking
by Tell Me You’re Joking | Gaslight Studio STL
Tell Me You’re Joking leans into the taboo, popular, annoying, and entertaining subjects that rile us all up. This podcast will make those who say ”politics and religion are private” want to open up and engage. Based out of Flyover Country, St. Louis Missouri, host JB Anderson brings on guests that have a say, give a damn, and are not afraid to shoot it straight.

Aaron Perlut | "The Death of Compromise"
Aaron is a true renaissance man... no, really. Entrepreneur, husband, father, musician, songwriter, mustache grower, and author. He joined me to talk about his new book: The Death of Compromise: How an unquenchable thirst for power, racism and media has killed political and cultural compromise in America. (Amazon) We talk about the unfortunate inspiration for the piece (Charlie Kirk's murder), and the dots he connected looking backwards, talking to those who were part of the machine, and projecting forward into the "what if." We also discuss his other passion, music. Why being a middle-aged white guy that sings "dead country" songs has no hope, but loves it nevertheless.

Marc St Pierre on Suicide: Myths, Realities, and Recovery
On January 1st of 2026, Marc St Pierre was ready to start the New Year. A knock on the door early in the day from a neighbor would change everything... permanently. What he soon discovered was that the lifeless body of his best friend, his husband, was sitting just feet away in his patrol car, with a self-inflicted wound that brought about his own "End of Watch." Having lost my own brother Dana to suicide, Marc and I had a very candid, direct, unscripted conversation about our experiences. We talk about the lack of signs at the time that turned out to be somewhat prophetic in hindsight, the "what-ifs," and so much more. We talk about how we reacted to the inquiries, what we missed, and what justifiably makes us mad now, at them, for what they did. Consider donating to Special Olympics Missouri in honor of Officer Chris Pederson. Please follow Dana Michael Anderson on Spotify to hear his stories and celebrate the good. #suicideawareness #family #husband #gunsafety #talkmore #brother

Data Centers & Ai... Progress & Opportunity, or Fear & Loathing?
Jim Goebel and Matthew Porter are two leading voices in the Data Center value prop argument here in the STL Region. Given their experience in the field, as well as telecom, and their entrepreneurial visions, we discuss how and why St. Louis could benefit greatly from the new wave. They lay out the argument for leaning into the taboo, explaining why it shouldn't be scary, why we can integrate the new technology into our existing footprint & infrastructure, and why if we don't... someone else will. #datacenters #ai #stlouis #midwest #water #rivers #wealth #policy #growth #opportunity

NO-MO Income Tax? Who Benefits? And Who Pays For It?
I was joined by two state Reps from different sides of the aisle, but with respect and hands outstretched... a rarity in the "show-me-state." We discuss the upcoming proposal, strategy, reality, and hopes of the potential elimination of the State Income Tax. Will an increase of Sales and Service Tax's be enough to pay our bills, and more importantly... who will. actually benefit??? #moleg #incometax #politics #missouri #bryantwolfin #nickkimball

Matt James | TikTok, GC, Goats, Peppers, & Family
Matt James is an enigma. Let's add it all up... Grew up in a steel town. Military Vet. Worked in an oil refinery. Union. Retired. Kinda a Nudi$t. Grows peppers. Raises farm animals.

From Suicide to voyeurism, and a touch of fascism, there's plenty to chew on. #tiktok #military #veteran #farmer #nudist #stlouis #granitecity #suicide #maga #character

Joan VonDras | Democrat for Missouri 2
Democratic candidate for MO-2, Joan VonDras. A lifelong educator has been motivated to enter the race in an attempt to unseat the 13+ year incumbent, R-Ann Wagner. In a district that regularly is avoided by the current representative, Joan looks to approach this race with a message and strategy that not only addresses the actual issues constituents are facing, but promises to be accessible as an actual voice for the people.

Josh Smead | Democrat Running for MO-6
Josh Smead is a family man, an architect, a pragmatist, and a Democrat in the largest land district in Missouri with 33 counties. Many of the counties are rural, loaded with farmers. 3 of those counties are more dense and carry with them much different issues. Somewhere in the middle of all of that, Josh is coming up with a message, a strategy, and a priority to help them all. Brilliant conversation illustrating the candidates strategy, his focal points, and more. Josh Smead for Congress #missouri #democrat #primary #rural #farmers #corruption #affordability #podcast

Nick Kimble: Missouri Representative - 82nd District
A son of a cop and sheet metal worker from the southside of St. Louis... Nick Kimble is the current Missouri House Rep for the 82nd District. Nick talks about his blue collar roots and his approach to Jeff City in an attempt to operate as a more pragmatic D from a city many see as dying to push it's Progressive boundaries. In a supermajority Republican state that leans to the far right side of the "Red-Team" spectrum, his beliefs and approach try to balance focusing on his constituents while dealing with a largely uncompromising majority party.

We navigate through the three main pillars of Empower Missouri, those being: Housing, Food, and Community Justice.

TMYJ | Dr. Ed Weisbart - The Fight For Universal Healthcare
Everyone wants a Dr. who loves the Beatles. Meet Dr. Ed Weisbart!!! This Chicago native spent his early working days growing a family practice that helped form his viewpoint on healthcare in America, and resulted in a fight he continues to this day. Dr. Ed Weisbart is the national board secretary and MO chapter chair of Physicians for a National Health Program, a non-profit non-partisan organization of more than 25,000 physicians and other health care advocates in support of a publicly financed, nonprofit, single-payer national health insurance program that would fully cover medical care for all Americans. This is one of the most important conversations I have personally had on the subject. Having lost my entire childhood family to a multitude of different failures in our healthcare system, Dr. Weisbart helps present a glass-half-full outlook on what is transpiring, the wins over institutional for-profit healthcare providers, and implies we are closer than we think to a true healthcare for all landscape. #universalhealthcare #healthcare #chicago #thebeatles #edweisbart #jbanderson #singlepayer #insurance

Ryan Sheridan | Republican Running for Missouri 2
Ryan Sheridan for Congress. Running against "Wallstreet Wagner," as he likes to refer to the Missouri 2nd District incumbent Representative Ann Wagner, Ryan talks about why he is running, why he is different than Ann, and what he is going to focus on. Ryan opens up about wanting to address the elephant in the room with his own party, that being growing wealth inequality, the wage gap, and more affordable housing that doesn't simply rely upon lower rates and market forces. We focus on a few key areas of his overall platform, touching on the economy, "America First," accountability/term-limits, and "MAHA" (which is soon going to be rebranded in order to not convolute the real focus on healthier foods and activities, vs. debatable science at best). I challenge him on the role character should play from our top leaders, the language that is currently being used in a divisive manner, the use of Meme's to rally the base, and whether or not the President and his family should be blatantly cashing in on the office and their access... especially after Nancy's portfolio, and Hunter's use of his name. Be sure to follow his pages and keep up on his run for office against a virtually absent career fundraiser at this point... and I can say that because I am a Missouri 2 resident and voter. #politics #missouri2 #republican #accountability #RyanSheridanForMO #kirkwood #economy #healthcare #taylorSwift

Nikki Budzinski | US House Rep. District 13 - Illinois
On this episode I had the privilege to speak with US Representative from Illinois’ 13th District, Nikki Budzinski. The center left Democrat, who was influenced by her Union and Education based grandparents from the center of Illinois, took some time and chatted with me about the real kitchen table issues effecting Americans, the fallout coming from the “Big Beautiful Bill,” outperforming Vice President Harris in the 2024 election, and her success in bringing back over $680Million in federal tax dollars to her district to support Head Start, Infrastructure, and healthcare services. We had a little fun running through potential top of the ticket names, comparing and contrasting three of the most popular Governors from CA, IL, and KY. But!!! We also knocked around the idea of a Comedy Central Candidate that already has experience in passing legislation for veterans… Really.

Nathaniel Hudson | Seattle - Shanghai - STL
Nathaniel Hudson, a Seattle native who had had enough "Patagonia Clutching," decided to go make changes. This international teacher turned HR/Recruiting Consultant traded the dreary/wet Pacific Northwest for the "dry-heat" of Arizona, and then decided it was time to bounce... to Communist China... really. His work/travel took him from the far east to Africa to the Middle East, with a Euro vacay that seemed to have landed his partner (Villa grad no less), and ultimately landed in the STL to raise his family. Hosted by JB Anderson from Gaslight Studio STL & Anthony Bartlett of Acclimate City!

Term'd out, this attorney turned soccer dad, and now Creve Couer resident (sorry Peter, had to), sat down and chopped up his pathway, his passion, and why everyone just gets it all wrong when it comes to what D's should and shouldn't do. We cover a lot of ground, ranging from MAGA populism vs. Bernie Bro's, STL's fractured region, why ballot initiatives are better than politicians, and who's on the horizon that impresses. We also talk about his next run... kind of! #politics #moleg #democrat #shaw #stlouis #stlouiscounty #progressives #solutions

Mitch Meyers | From "Spuds" to "Buds"
Mitch Meyers is a powerhouse. This long-time ad heavyweight cut her teeth at a time when most of the men in the industry discounted women... period. She didn't care. As one of the brains behind arguably the greatest beer ad campaign ever, she has outkicked all the coverage. Bud Light was expected to be a flop... but little did the WORLD know, or realize, that Spuds MacKenzie (a girl, by the way) would change the face of beer forever. Now she's been battling in a new sandlot... Weed. Cannabis is an exploding industry providing untapped medicinal, social, physical, and psychological benefits, all while battling outdated public perceptions and legal challenges. Enjoy... she is truly amazing! BeLeaf Medical #cannabis #marketing #budlight #womeninindustry #stlmade #midwest

Alex Fabry | PE & The Silver Tsunami in STL
Alex Fabry is a moderate with simple, yet big ideas. The Chicago, via Boulder, via Palo Alto, via Austin, via back to Chicago, and now St. Louisan... eats rope provel like it's a bag of chips. But more importantly this Kellog grad has ideas and visions for the region that run counter to some of the louder more prevalant strategies and focuses. For example... population loss, in his view, isn't necessary a bad thing, and shifting focus from attracting to retaining is lower hanging fruit that would provide much greater community, business, and regional value. It felt like we solved a load of World (STL) problems, and possibly didn't. But!!! It was a great conversation that pushed the envelope on what could be, what is, what should be talked about, and what should be ignored here in our resources rich flyover country!!!

Is STL a "B-Side" City?
Anyone who is a true music fan knows that the "B-sides" are always cooler, more relevant, and more true to who/what an artist/band is. CITIES ARE NO DIFFERENT!!! Nobody who lives in "X" city frequents "X" city's tourist attractions on a regular basis. They prefer to keep their favorite eateries off Yelp and IG. Locals want their pubs to feel more like a Wes Anderson movie than a James Cameron showpiece! Anthony Bartlett (from Acclimate City) joined "half empty" Dave Messner and I for a long chat about the pro's and con's of STL's options, it's identity, and it's secret gems.
