  • Culture of Slop
    Apr 30 2025

    According to Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur, we live in perennial high school, where everyone wants to be accepted into the "in" crowd. A big part of that is staying up-to-date on the latest TV shows, movies, music, slang, and trends, such as Sabrina Carpenter, the Savannah Bananas, etc. Or as Tony and others would call it these days, slop.

  • Tribute to a Fallen Friend
    Apr 16 2025

    A much different Check Your Brain podcast this week, as Tony Mazur pays tribute to his friend Anthony Petrone, who passed away on April 6th at the age of 45. Anthony was one of Tony's best friends and biggest supporters, even being the first to subscribe to his Patreon (he later unsubscribed after three months because he "just doesn't listen to podcasts") In this episode, Tony tells stories about Anthony and discusses how we should all strive to be better friends.

  • Bruce Hall - Epstein, JFK & The White Hats
    Apr 9 2025

    Bruce Hall is a long-time friend of Tony Mazur's, dating back to his days of hosting a Sunday morning sports show out of Westchester, NY. Tony had Bruce come on to talk about the absolutely nothing coming out of both the Epstein and JFK files release, then he expanded on other theories that the corporate press has deemed conspiracy. Among these topics: who were the Dulles, the World Bankers' blood thirst for war, Big Pharma's impact, and "Our Greatest Ally."

  • An Exiled Host Returns to Terrestrial Radio
    Mar 26 2025

    No, not Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur, though he is certainly not on the lookout for a radio gig. But Anthony Cumia of Opie & Anthony fame has returned to regular radio at WABC and then some, as the rapid and rabid response for him garnered a syndication deal. Tony talks about why this is win-win for Cumia, as well as the state of radio in general, which usually shies away from "controversial hosts." Could this be a new beginning of former personalities returning to the airwaves?

    But before all of that, Tony answered some questions the listeners sent him for another AMA round.

  • Tony on Z-Man's Public Access Show
    Mar 19 2025

    Recently, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur was a guest on his pal Chad Zumock's Public Access Show, where they watch old commercials, talk all things retro, and harken back to both of their radio days. They both did the latter in discussing Anthony Cumia's return to terrestrial radio and his subsequent syndication deal.

    Admittedly, this is more of a video show without a set timeslot, so follow Chad on X (@ChadZumock) to see when the next Public Access Show is ready for streaming.

  • Five Years to Flatten the Curve
    Mar 12 2025

    The week of March 8th, 2020 began with a recommendation to wash your hands and don't touch your face, and it ended with "oh my God, the world is ending." That, of course, was a hysterical reaction, but that reaction continued on for well over two years. In his annual recap of the 2020 insanity, Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur lays out everything from the mandates like wearing masks in swimming pools and filling skateparks with sand to getting tattoos of your vaccine card. He then takes the listener/viewer to today, where there is some accountability directed towards the corrupt bureaucrats and actors who pushed this, though not enough have met the Damocles of justice.
