Ever wondered what's in the foods we eat in America? To us, that seems like an easy "Yes", but that's not really the case in the real world. We don't need to be worrying about our fruits, vegetables and grains, but we should be. We dive into the world of Glyphosate which is all the rage on the internet today partly because of Joe Rogan's guests and partly because of Andrew Huberman. Both arguably the best resources being a compilation of different experts' opinions and data on almost every topic we care about. So here we break it down for you in our own way and we hope you enjoy that! We also go into the current housing market condition because what's about to happen...may surprise you! It's not the doom and gloom story you're used to hearing from everyone on the internet. However, I didn't say it's all good either

In today's episode of talking to a wall we bring you some actionable advice in light of the current economy. There's a good chance we'll end up in a power grid scurfuffle and it's up to YOU to be sure you're ready for it. No, I don't mean by buying tons of canned goods and digging a hole in your back yard to hide in. I'm talking about a realistic approach to something that gets brought up in congress almost daily. The threat of cyber security. We've got all the apps in the world to keep our eyes busy and brains melt-y, but is that what we want? Then we load it up even more with the average working wage right now and how that's changed over the course of American history. Buckle up kids, it's gonna be a good one.
