I start this episode reflecting on the idea of soulmates and continue the discussion of Scott Adams’ book, Reframe Your Brain. I dive into how promises and compatibility shape relationships more than the elusive concept of a single soulmate, and how reframing fears, humor, and self-perception can enrich life. The conversation also touches on how
Arsenio Hall, Brain Reframes, SPLC
I start this episode exploring Scott Adams’ book Reframe Your Brain. I share highlights like transforming fear of embarrassment into a tool for learning, viewing problems as puzzles, and using positive reframes to handle mistakes and criticism.

NASA, Opioids, Ibogaine, Polymarket
In this episode, I talk about the Texas Ibogaine initiative featured on the Joe Rogan Experience. I share my own history using opioids, including the life-saving impact Ibogaine had on me. Rick Perry and Brian Hubbard’s advocacy has Texas leading the charge and I’ve never been more proud to be a Texan. They’ve secured $100
Why the Long Face?
In this episode, I share my ‘physiognomical theory of everything,’ and what could unaffectionately be referred to as “communist face.” Here I discuss facial structures, perceived softness, and why certain public figures project a collectivist energy based solely on appearance. This eventually turns into a broader conversation about leadership, optics, and testosterone (or lack thereof).
Useful Concepts for 2026
This solo episode starts with a celebration of the new year, 2026! I talk about time passing, aging, and the prospect of another year around the flaming hot ball in space.

How to Use Money to Buy Freedom & Independence
In this solo episode, I share highlights from The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel. I talk about getting what you want vs. what you need, how money shapes our independence, and why the book hit me at the right time. I also get into how our upbringing, culture, and past struggles influence our

Pelch then played professional baseball and represented Canada on the national team. He’s also worked as a scout
Body Counts, Swinger Lifestyle, Real Estate Commissions with Lauren McAlister Andrews
Lauren Mac, as I used to call her, is one of my favorite people from high school. If we’d kept in touch better, she’d be like my Chase or Capt. Byro, but female. But Lauren’s been busy raising 3 kids and and building a successful real estate career. Plus, I travel overseas a good bit.

Candid Camera, Freakonomics, Grab ‘Em By the Pu$$y
In this 17th solo episode, I talk about a beautiful mindset. And it’s all mindset. A cheerful disposition and a grateful attitude, that can change everything, regardless of your circumstances. Everyone experiences pain, whether physical or emotional/psychological. Knowing this makes envy disappear. Jealousy goes poof! I also talk about love and a connection to the
