  • EP 72: The Weekly Tank: The 2025 Super Bowl The High’s, The Low’s, Winners & Losers.
    May 8 2025

    This is episode 72 of The Truth Tank

    This is Episode 3 of The Weekly Tank. In this episode, We’re diving into the 2025 Super Bowl - all the highs, the lows, the glamour, and the glory of what might be the most overhyped sporting event in the world.

    In recent years, the NFL has faced criticism for favouritism - a problem not unique to American Football. The AFL has experienced similar issues, with concerns over certain teams, prioritising corporate interests over those of the fans, and a growing obsession with profit. The last few Super Bowls have been boring and predictable, with the Kansas City Chiefs dominating the league over the past five seasons. So you could be forgiven for thinking they’d have an easy game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

    But this game was anything but predictable. Was it rigged? Did the NFL finally listen to fans who have long called out what they see as blatant favouritism towards the Chiefs? We’ll also look at Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show, the parade of celebrity spectators, Travis Kelce’s rough night (cue the tears?), Patrick Mahomes struggling to get going, the San Diego Chargers big move, Jalen Hurts’ domination, and everything else that makes the Super Bowl more than just a game.

    WARNING: This episode is NOT Chiefs fan friendly.

  • EP 71: The Nord Stream Pipeline: Accident Or Sabotage?
    Apr 16 2025

    This is episode 71 of The Truth Tank.


    On September 26th, 2022, several underwater explosions were detected on the Nord Stream NS1 and NS2 pipelines, resulting in multiple gas leaks in 3 out of the 4 pipelines. The Nord Stream pipeline is located in international waters in the Baltic Sea and transports natural gas from Russia to Germany, with the majority of the infrastructure being Russian Owned.


    In the episode, we take a deep and detailed dive into the pipeline’s destruction and the investigations that followed. what is Nord Stream? What happened? Who are the suspects? And Why was it targeted? We’ll explore four different perspectives on the incident from four countries that were either affected by the pipeline’s destruction or are suspected of having some involvement in it.


    The pipeline’s destruction released approximately 800 million cubic meters of methane gas into the atmosphere. What are the potential environmental impacts of such a massive release? Who stands to gain from the pipeline being taken out of commission? What does it mean for energy supplies across Europe? Explosive traces were found on a nearby yacht, suggesting sabotage may have played a role and potentially, a cover-up.

    The big question remains: Who is behind it?

  • EP 70: The Weekly Tank: A Complete Unknown Film Review, Tim's Triumphant Transformation
    Apr 3 2025

    This is episode 70 of The Truth Tank.


    This is the 2nd Weekly Tank Episode, where I will be reviewing A Complete Unknown. The Bob Dylan bio-pic starring Timothee Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook and Scoot McNairy, Directed by James Mangold.


    The film is much more than the average musical bio-pic, set in 1961 New York, a young Bob Dylan arrives in a new city with just the clothes on his back, a guitar, a notebook and a dream of meeting his musical idols. The film looks at Bob’s rise to fame, conflict with the Folk Music establishment and his turbulent transition to electric.


    I will also be looking at how A Complete Unknown compares to other music bio-pics, some of my personal favourite bands and how they have changed styles over the years, the films attention to detail, Chalamet’s transformation as Bob and the thrill of seeing Bob Dylan Live.

  • EP 68: The Weekly Tank: Disney & Netflix The Death Dealers Of Physical Media
    Feb 13 2025
    This is episode 68 of The Truth Tank.This Episode is the first Weekly Tank. The Weekly Tank will look at current events, sport, strange stories, entertainment and more in-between the bigger shows. In this episode, We will be looking at Disney’s decision to discontinue physical media in Australia, New Zealand and most of the Southern Hemisphere due to declining sales. No one can deny there has been a decline in physical media sales, however Disney has a vested interest in signing up as many people as possible to Disney+ hence their and other Streaming Giants like Netflix crusade to destroy physical media to drive subscriptions over to them. The last Disney DVD/Blu Ray to be released was Guardians of the Galaxy 3 in 2023. Here lies the problem, Disney own 20th Century Fox, Lucasfilm and Marvel and their vast collections of legacy IPs such as Star Wars, Aliens, Planet of the Apes & Indiana Jones to name a few. In recent years they have pumped out theatrical released sequels and no physical copies, so if you want to buy in the southern hemisphere you'd have to source them from overseas retailers. If a film is released in a cinemas, it should be available to buy everywhere, unfortunately this trend will continue around the world. Can Film Fans and directors like Christopher Nolan help turn the decline in physical media sales and save DVDs/BRs for future generations and film history?Promos:Cheers Big Ears!https://open.spotify.com/show/4VLtctfP6azm0cY9pKfcZ0?si=3d2982a95bd04cc3Mikey On Mutehttps://open.spotify.com/show/2TdkgQuAhyuV5sv2vZx1FS?si=19a3949a821741a1Socials:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/thetruthtank/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/ThetruthTankListen:Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0P4Hcqlgc6kCG0bYyAS2SuApplehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-tank/id1463256905YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrhX1ZqvZx_xM59bk-tRa6QAmazonhttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/791410e2-fa17-43e7-84db-6c81325f4203I Heart Radiohttps://iheart.com/podcast/76110779Castboxhttps://castbox.fm/channel/The-Truth-Tank-id5627421?country=usSources:https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadgate/2023/08/02/with-sales-dropping-disney-will-no-longer-sell-dvds-in-australia/https://7news.com.au/business/retail/disney-to-stop-releasing-dvds-and-blu-ray-discs-in-major-change-for-australian-customers--c-11414857https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/end-of-an-era-disney-announces-huge-change-for-australian-fans/news-story/fde5b9eb6e9fb35d645779ccc3c7cd83#:~:text=It%20is%20understood%20the%20decision,company%20before%20its%20internet%20era.&ved=2ahUKEwjo34ihpOqKAxXmRmcHHbStMokQFnoECBcQAw&usg=AOvVaw2U0h6pvk__jm62175x9VXJ

  • EP 67: The New Years Eve Terror Attacks The Cybertruck Explosion Outside Trump Hotel Pt:2
    Feb 6 2025

    This is episode 67 of The Truth Tank.


    We will be continuing our look at the terror attacks/explosion on NYE in New Orleans and Las Vegas. In Part Two, We will look at the CyberTruck explosion outside of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and Matthew Livelsberger, the man who carried out the explosion in the CyberTruck. Who was he? Why did he shoot himself before detonating an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) outside of Trump Hotel? It is a weird case, and something just doesn’t add up.


    Livelsberger was an Army Green Beret who had recently returned back to the US from being deployed overseas; He had suffered from mental health issues, PTSD and had history of a traumatic brain injury, filled a rented CyberTruck with legally bought fireworks and drove the CyberTruck to the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on New Years Day.

    Is there any connection to the events in New Orleans?


    Livelsberger left a note on a phone which was found in the CyberTruck explaining his actions and that he wanted to draw attention to Alleged war crimes committed in 2019. Is this a case of PTSD or something more nefarious? His military ID, driver's license, phones and two firearms were found in the burnt CyberTruck which begs the question if his body was so badly burned in the explosion, How did his personal belongings survive such an intense blast?

  • EP 66: The New Years Eve Terror Attacks On Bourbon Street, New Orleans Pt:1
    Jan 30 2025

    This is episode 66 of The Truth Tank.


    This is Part 1 of a 2 part look into the events that took place on New Years Eve 2024. The New Years Eve Terror Attack in New Orleans and the CyberTruck Explosion outside of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Beginning with the events that unravelled on New Years Eve in Bourbon Street when a former US Army veteran planted IEDs before driving a rented truck into a crowd before being killed in a shoot out with the police.

    Both the New Orleans and Las Vegas have some striking similarities; both used rented vehicles via the same app, and they both involved explosives and firearms. In Part One, we will be diving deep into the motivations and background of the New Orleans attacker. Why did he carry out this attack? He had a decent job and had served his country. What could possibly possess someone like this to take 14 innocent lives?


    Attacks like these are on the rise globally. Are the attacks in New Orleans part of a bigger network? What can be done about it? Can the use of Artificial Intelligence help screen potential suspects preventing future attacks? And what can be done to turn disillusioned people looking for an outlet to channel their hate through from the path of terror?
