The War Is Back On. Nobody Voted for It. Again. - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #155

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 17:00:00 -0500

Three weeks ago Trump signed a peace deal. This week the US bombed 80 targets in Iran, Iran fired missiles at a US base in Jordan, and the Strait of Hormuz slammed shut again.

No vote. No declaration. No debate. The war just restarted over the July 4th weekend while everyone was grilling.

Also this week — 57,000 jobs added against an expectation of 110,000. Real wages fell for the third straight month. The average household has spent $3,100 extra on essentials since January. And beef prices hit their highest in memory over the cookout holiday.

Oh, and St. Louis only has 12 ambulances. Half the federal guideline for a city this size. And they just pulled $500K from EMS to fund a police board nobody voted for.

Eric's not holding back.

Nobody Believes the Iran Deal Anymore. Not Even MAGA. - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #154

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Trump signed the peace deal less than a week ago. Iran's military says the strait is closed. Iran's own foreign ministry says it's open. The US says it never closed. Nobody agrees, and ships still aren't moving normally.

Tucker says it's a retreat. Schumer says Iran won. Ted Cruz says Trump got bad advice. The left and the right are united against this deal for the first time in years.

Meanwhile Trump's economic approval just hit the lowest of his presidency. The stock market hit an all-time high the same week. A self-identified Trump voter in Georgia called it a slap in the face.

And politicians are legally insider trading on prediction markets while your power bill subsidizes AI data centers.

The War "Ended." Iran Got Everything It Wanted - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #153

Fri, 19 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Trump demanded unconditional surrender in March. Iran just got its oil revenue back, a path to lifting every sanction, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. Even Lindsey Graham says the deal sounds awful.

Why end it now? Trump said it himself at the G7: "Every time we talked about the possibility of peace, the stock market shot up like a rocket ship."

Same week, Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire off SpaceX's IPO. And the FBI arrested five people, one from Missouri, allegedly plotting to attack billionaires and politicians on the White House lawn.

Eric breaks down who actually won this war, and it's not who you think.

Trump Got $16M. CBS Got a New Pro-Israel Boss. Coincidence? - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #152

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0500

A 36-year CBS veteran was fired the day after he asked why management was ordering him to put falsehoods on air. The new executive producer has zero broadcast experience. The new editor-in-chief was hired partly for her pro-Israel stance. And the owner's family just happens to be the largest private donor to the IDF.

Trump sued CBS, got a $16 million settlement, and the FCC approved the merger weeks later. Paramount is now seeking approval to buy CNN too.
Meanwhile the war hits 100 days. Iran still controls the strait. Airlines are cutting routes. Gas futures show we may not see $3 a gallon until 2032. And SpaceX just did the most retail-exposed IPO in history at a $1.77 trillion valuation while losing $4 billion a year.

Trump Just Made Himself Untouchable by the IRS. Forever - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #151

Sat, 30 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Trump sued the IRS (an agency he controls!!!) over a leak that exposed he paid $750 in federal income taxes. The lawsuit was almost certainly dead on arrival. So why file it?

To manufacture a settlement. His own DOJ, run by his personal former defense lawyer who was told to recuse himself, quietly posted a one-page document to a government website. The IRS is now forever barred from auditing Trump, his sons, and over 400 business entities. The word "forever" is in the actual document.

Also this week, a CIA officer with fake degrees, a fake pilot's license, and a fake resume stole $40 million in gold bars. For 17 years. Nobody checked.
And Google is getting $2 billion in tax breaks in Missouri, funded in part by COVID relief money meant for small businesses.

St. Louis Has $255 Million and Nobody's Been Helped? - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #150

Mon, 18 May 2026 11:00:00 -0500

One year after the tornado. 5,000 damaged homes. 69 demolitions completed. And the city just quietly signed a $26 million contract with an out-of-state company, no press release, no announcement, that's been audited for price gouging in three other states.

Oh, and AutoZone just quietly warned its managers about the largest motor oil shortage in American history. Because the Strait is still closed and nobody wants to say it out loud.

Plus RFK wants your kids eating grass-fed protein bowls at school while giving districts $4.60 to make it happen. And cutting the one program that made affordable local food possible.

Eric is fired up on this 150th episode. And he's not holding back.

The World Doesn't Want to Come to America Anymore - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #149

Fri, 08 May 2026 11:00:00 -0500

10-year-old boys are searching bone smashing on TikTok. Teenagers are injecting steroids to fix their jawlines. A meth-addicted 20-year-old with millions of followers was calling it "empowering young men" until YouTube finally banned him.

Meanwhile America is hosting the biggest sporting event in human history and the hotels are empty. 85% of Kansas City bookings are below projections. The world just doesn't want to come here anymore.
Eric is fired up this week and doesn't hold back on any of it: looks maxing, absent dads, the World Cup disaster, gerrymandering, and why $100k doesn't mean what it used to.

War Profits, Car Surveillance, and Nobody's Going to Jail - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #148

Mon, 04 May 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Three massive oil trades placed 15 to 20 minutes before each one. $2.3 billion total. The negotiations were classified. There was no public news.
Someone knew.

And the DOJ unit built to investigate exactly this? Gutted from 36 lawyers to two.

Then there's your new car. By 2027, a federal mandate requires infrared cameras watching your eyes and a kill switch that decides if you're allowed to drive. Meanwhile, 80,000 cameras across 49 states are already scanning your license plate 20 billion times a month — and ICE is accessing that data without a warrant.

This isn't coming. It's already here.

No Income Tax Sounds Great. It Isn't. - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #147

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0500

Missouri's "no income tax" plan sounds like a win. It isn't.

The top 1% saves $40,000 a year. You save $231 then lose $500 when sales taxes go up to cover the gap. 60% of Missourians end up paying more. And once you vote yes, lawmakers never have to ask permission to raise the sales tax again. On groceries. Rent. Car repairs. Prescriptions. No voter approval required.

One St. Louis billionaire has spent $45 million pushing this. Missouri voters already rejected it in 2016. Now it's back.

The Global Energy Crisis Nobody Voted For - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #146

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0500

In less than 50 days, the US started the worst energy crisis in the history of the global oil market. Then blockaded the same waterway we were screaming at Iran to reopen.

Japan is burning coal it promised to stop burning. South Korea's stock market crashed 12% in a single day because Samsung's semiconductor fabs run on energy that flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Germany says it's not their war. France is blocking Israeli military planes from its airspace. The UK prime minister is publicly fed up. And Trump is threatening to pull out of NATO entirely.

Oh and Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megan Kelly, and Alex Jones are all calling this a disaster. Trump's response was a 482-word True Social rant calling them low IQ, ugly, and irrelevant. While there's an active naval blockade on 20% of the world's oil supply.

The Ceasefire Was Fake - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #145

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0500

A self-taught independent analyst named Nick Nemo is making a case that 29 of the top 30 U.S. life insurers are technically insolvent without reinsurance credit that may not actually exist. The man who bet against subprime mortgages in 2008 is calling it a potential great financial crisis. The forensic accountant who spent 41 years inside the industry agrees. And Vermont passed a law making the books confidential — even under subpoena.

Meanwhile the Iran ceasefire everyone celebrated lasted about 10 minutes before Israel launched 100 strikes in Lebanon. The Strait of Hormuz still isn't open. Iran is charging a million dollars a ship to pass through what used to be a free international waterway. Both sides are claiming victory. Someone is lying.

Eric breaks down both stories this week: raw, unfiltered, and straight from the data.

Boomers Had It Better - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #144

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Boomers paid $738 a year for college. Millennials are starting life $40,000 in debt. Boomers bought homes at 3x their annual income. Millennials are looking at 7-8x. And boomers now own 51% of all U.S. wealth while millennials hold just 10%.

In this episode, Eric breaks down the real generational wealth gap with hard data: housing, wages, student debt, retirement savings, healthcare costs, and a Social Security system that may run dry before millennials ever collect. This isn't about blaming individuals. It's about understanding why things are so different for younger generations and what we can actually do about it.

Big Tech Got Exposed - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #143

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Eric breaks down 314 Day in St. Louis, the growing fallout from the Iran war, the LaGuardia crash, and the massive jury verdict against Meta and YouTube that could become a turning point for Big Tech.

Because once a jury says these platforms knowingly addicted kids, this stops feeling like a debate and starts feeling a lot bigger.

This Could Break The Global Economy - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #142

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0500

The U.S. and Israel are now in direct conflict with Iran and the consequences could hit far beyond the Middle East.

In this episode, Eric breaks down the history behind the conflict, why the Strait of Hormuz matters so much to the global economy, and how this war could send oil, food, and energy prices soaring around the world.

If the shipping lanes stay closed… this doesn’t just stay a regional war.

Why Young People Keep Losing - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #141

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 -0600

This episode lays out a simple thesis: the people with the most wealth and political power keep shifting the costs onto younger generations and the incentives make it almost impossible to fix.

If you’ve ever wondered why housing, taxes, and policy feel rigged… this connects the dots.

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 -0600

In this solo episode, Eric continues his unfiltered commentary on where things stand right now — personally, economically, and culturally.

This episode is less about headlines and more about patterns. Eric talks through the pressure people are feeling, the disconnect between what we’re told versus what we experience, and why so many feel burned out, frustrated, or stuck despite “doing everything right.”

It’s a reflective, honest conversation about expectations, reality, and the growing sense that something in the system just isn’t working the way it was promised.

If You’re Not Rich, You’re Losing - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #133

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

In this solo episode of The Official STL Podcast, Eric Brown opens with a headline-grabbing news story and uses it as a springboard into a bigger conversation about where the country’s at right now — culturally, financially, and mentally.

Eric digs into the “the economy is fine” narrative and argues that it doesn’t match what everyday people are experiencing. He breaks down unemployment stats, why the headline number can be misleading, and how the gig economy (Uber/DoorDash-style work) can mask underemployment and people who’ve dropped out of the workforce entirely.

It’s blunt, opinionated, and meant to spark debate — if you’ve felt like the numbers don’t match reality, this episode will hit.

The Ugly Truth About Suburban Growth - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #132

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:00:00 -0600

In this episode of The Official STL Podcast, Eric Brown breaks down some big news for St. Louis and why it ties into a much larger problem across the United States.

First, Eric dives into Waymo coming to St. Louis — what autonomous vehicles could mean for the city, how the rollout works, the safety record, the weird edge cases (like DDOS-style prank attacks on fleets), and whether we should actually trust driverless cars on icy Midwestern roads.

Eric wraps by talking about what this means for regular people: rising costs, stagnant wages, the generational wealth gap, and a future that doesn’t look as bright as it was sold — especially for younger people trying to build a life in systems that are already maxed out.

If you live in St. Louis, the suburbs, or any American metro that feels “off” lately, this episode will hit hard.

Money Talks - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #111

Fri, 02 May 2025 00:00:00 -0500

On this week’s episode of The St. Louis Podcast, Eric returns solo for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the intersection between politics, money, and consumer culture. Kicking off with the latest headlines, Eric unpacks the growing debate around government spending and how taxpayer money continues to be stretched, shifted, and sometimes squandered. From bloated budgets to questionable financial priorities, it’s a raw look at where the dollars are going - and why it matters more than ever.

Next up, Eric turns his focus to Amazon’s newest (and eyebrow-raising) idea: showing customers exactly how much a product’s price has increased over time. Is it a move toward honest transparency - or just a way to condition shoppers to accept inflation? He explores how this strategy could reshape buyer behavior and what it says about the broader state of e-commerce and consumer trust.

Rounding out the episode, Eric talks big tech and bigger price tags - specifically Apple’s never-ending price hike on iPhones. As device upgrades continue to get more expensive with fewer groundbreaking changes, he dives into why consumers keep lining up anyway, and what that says about our digital priorities.

If you care about where your money goes - from your taxes to your tech - this episode asks the uncomfortable questions and doesn’t hold back on the answers.

We would also like to give a special shoutout and express our gratitude to Mark Lee from Farmers Insurance St. Louis for being one of our valued sponsors.

This week, Eric is back solo with a fresh dose of frustration - courtesy of the absolute disaster that was his recent travel experience.

After venting about the nightmare that was his trip, Eric dives into the fascinating world of air traffic control, how the aviation industry keeps planes moving, and why things sometimes go so terribly wrong. Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes when flights get delayed or rerouted? This episode has you covered.

Of course, no solo episode would be complete without a little bit of political talk. From spending policies to travel regulations and everything in between, Eric shares his take on what’s happening in the news and how it all connects back to everyday life. Whether you’re here for the travel horror stories, aviation deep dives, or just classic Eric rants, this episode has a little bit of everything. Buckle up - it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

In our conversation, David shares his unique start in the business world - purchasing a garage with a house in the front yard and how this unusual beginning set the stage for his entrepreneurial success. He recounts the early days of working evenings and weekends, and how within a few short years, he transitioned from part-time to full-time in his “backyard gig.”

David’s story of perseverance is especially compelling as he describes the challenges he faced trying to secure a loan for a brick-and-mortar store. After being turned down by multiple banks, he realized the importance of understanding business fundamentals. This led him to SCORE, where he received invaluable mentorship, learning about income statements, balance sheets, and the nuances of managing a business that deals in both repair and sales.

Now, with a successful brick-and-mortar store, three employees, and two profitable revenue streams, David reflects on the core philosophy that drives his business: appreciation for people. He delves into his approach to making his three key demographics - employees, vendors, and customers - feel valued, a strategy that has not only grown his business but also helped him grow as a person.

Tune in to hear how David Marks turned his entrepreneurial dreams into reality, and how his focus on people and appreciation has been the cornerstone of his success.
