  • 475 - Dragon vs. Eagle: Will China Dethrone the US?
    Oct 6 2025

    From AI breakthroughs and supply chains to TikTok and military might, China’s rise has reshaped global power over the past few decades. Can the U.S. hold onto its superpower status, or is the “American Century” nearing its end? What will the world look like, if reshaped in China's image? All this and more on a VERY informative (and ultimately hopeful) edition of Timesuck.

  • 474 - Krumping for Christ! The 7M Cult & Christian Nationalism
    Sep 29 2025

    This week, we deep dive into Pastor Robert Shinn, his Shekinah Church, and his management company 7M Films - and examine how a modern cult has (allegedly) exploited TikTok dancers, financially abusing them, sexually abused them and other members, while also possibly being connected to the very popular and scary Seven Mountains Mandate that currently has strong Whitehouse connections. While this cult is scary, a brewing American attempt at a theocracy is the most disturbing part of this week's information-heavy episode for me. Hail Nimrod!

  • Short Suck #42: The Dingo Took the Baby: The Lindy Chamberlain Saga
    Sep 26 2025

    In 1980, a camping trip at Australia’s magical Uluru sandstone monolith turned into an international media storm when nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from her family’s tent. Her mother, Lindy, cried out that a dingo had taken her baby. What followed was a decades-long battle of flawed science, media hysteria, wrongful conviction, and one of the most infamous trials in Australian history.
