About this listen

 Seems Sus is a commentary podcast that questions narratives, exposes hypocrisy, and cuts through the noise of modern life. Hosted by Ed and Brandon, the show explores media manipulation, government overreach, social division, conspiracy theories, cultural contradictions, and the uncomfortable patterns that keep repeating no matter who’s in power.

From surveillance states and manufactured outrage to fake news, social media doom-scrolling, and a world obsessed with compliance and resistance at the same time, Seems Sus looks at how truth gets buried beneath narratives — and how people willingly defend systems that work against them. This isn’t left vs right, politics vs politics, or good guys vs bad guys. It’s about selective outrage, shifting principles, and a society drowning in information while starving for understanding.

No preaching. No team jerseys. Just real conversations about a world that doesn’t add up.

Question everything.
Trust nothing blindly.

    Ep. 6: Selective Outrage
    Jan 30 2026
    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed tackle selective outrage, political tribalism, manufactured narratives, and the growing emotional fallout of the last decade. From social media misinformation and viral panic to post pandemic anger and identity driven conflict, the conversation explores why society feels more divided, hostile, and confused than ever. We question why people blindly defend systems they distrust, why outrage shifts depending on who is in power, and how fear based narratives keep repeating with new faces and new excuses.

    Outrage has become the default state of modern society. In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed examine how selective outrage, misinformation, and political obsession fuel constant conflict while nothing ever truly changes. The discussion covers social media manipulation, fake headlines, AI misinformation, and how easily false claims spread when they align with existing beliefs. From exaggerated crisis narratives to outright fabricated stories, the episode highlights how little verification happens before people react emotionally. The conversation also dives into the long term psychological effects of isolation, pandemic era fear, and loss of trust in institutions.

    Brandon and Ed talk about compliance, resistance, shifting narratives, and why people who once demanded obedience now condemn it.

    Topics expand into political hypocrisy, voting disillusionment, government power, education and indoctrination, taxation, surveillance, and the realization that public outrage rarely leads to meaningful change.

  • Ep. 5: Snowmageddon

    Ep. 5: Snowmageddon
    Jan 29 2026
    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed take a wide ranging look at weather manipulation theories, government secrecy, outbreak preparedness, and how quickly society collapses under pressure.

    What starts as a discussion about strange storms and unusual weather patterns turns into a deeper conversation about control, fear, and how unprepared people really are when systems fail. From chemtrail speculation and unexplained aerial activity to zombie apocalypse hypotheticals and pandemic behavior, this episode questions whether humanity could survive a real large scale crisis without turning on itself.

    Extreme weather events, supply shortages, and emergency narratives have become normal parts of modern life. In this episode of Seems Sus, we examine why storms feel larger, crises feel constant, and public reaction feels increasingly irrational.

    Brandon and Ed discuss weather modification bans, chemtrails, unexplained flares and aerial phenomena, and strange activity near military installations. The conversation expands into government secrecy, surveillance, and why official explanations often raise more questions than answers.

    The episode also dives into zombie apocalypse scenarios as a thought experiment, using past pandemic behavior, lockdowns, shortages, and social compliance to ask a simple question. If people fought over toilet paper and bread, how would society react to a real collapse or infectious outbreak?

    Topics include outbreak preparedness, social panic, manufactured fear, media narratives, compliance, resistance, and the repeating cycle of crisis driven control.

    Topics Discussed
    Weather manipulation and climate anomalies
    Chemtrails and aerial activity
    Military secrecy and unexplained flares
    Government control and emergency powers
    Pandemic behavior and public compliance
    Supply shortages and panic buying
    Zombie apocalypse hypotheticals
    Outbreak preparedness and social collapse
    Media fear cycles and distraction
    Surveillance and institutional distrust

  • Ep. 3: We Survived the Alien Invasion

    Ep. 3: We Survived the Alien Invasion
    Jan 29 2026
    In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed kick off the new year by questioning global events, media narratives, political theater, and the nonstop cycle of outrage that never seems to slow down.

    From alien invasion headlines and manufactured panic to government actions overseas and selective hypocrisy at home, the conversation explores why nothing ever feels resolved. We discuss why the same stories repeat with new faces, why apologies never follow misinformation, and how both sides of every issue seem to defend systems that consistently fail the public.

    The world feels like it is stuck on repeat. Breaking news cycles come and go, fear based headlines dominate attention, and public outrage shifts on command. In this episode of Seems Sus, we examine media manipulation, political hypocrisy, and why people react emotionally without ever questioning who benefits.

    Brandon and Ed talk about global conflicts, government overreach, immigration narratives, selective enforcement, and the illusion of choice within political systems. The conversation also touches on surveillance, censorship, voter influence, taxation, healthcare, and the growing disconnect between everyday people and those in power. As the episode unfolds, the discussion moves into cultural conditioning, hive mind behavior, social media activism, and why public opinion is so easily steered. From viral outrage to ignored truths, this episode connects the dots between distraction, control, and compliance.

    Topics Discussed:
    Media manipulation and narrative control
    Fake news and manufactured outrage
    Political hypocrisy and selective enforcement
    Government overreach and surveillance
    Immigration narratives and public perception
    Censorship and information suppression
    Social media influence and hive mind behavior
    Voter trust and the illusion of choice
    Taxation, healthcare, and systemic control
    Cultural division and repeated patterns
