Crowds For Hire: Inside the Protest Business | Adam Swart | Episode 73

Producing Bussin' with the Boys, Building Make it To Midnight & Why Authenticity Wins w/ J.P. Hovey

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2353648/fan_mail/new] J.P. Hovey joins me in studio to talk producing Bussin' With The Boys, hosting Make It To Midnight, and co-hosting The Slice Tennis Podcast. Two South Carolina guys, one conversation about the world of podcasting and the future of human connection.  J.P. shares the unglamorous origin story: working as a houseparent at IMG Academy, knocking on doors in Boca Raton, paying $600 a month rent thanks to a generous friend, and grinding through two years of loneliness before landing the Bussin' With The Boys gig through a chance connection with Michael Chandler. Five years later, he's been cage-side at the UFC, on the field for College Football Playoff games, and interviewed guys he grew up idolizing. The conversation goes deep on the stuff most podcast interviews skip:  * Turning 30 and what actually changes  * The "strength of weak ties" and how every major break comes from someone you barely know  * Why authenticity is going to win the next decade of media  * The looming AI bubble and what happens when people start craving real human connection again  * RFK's media strategy vs. pro-athletes who often want clips edited out  * Why long-distance runners and pro tennis players are leaving millions on the table by ignoring their personal brand  * The Michael Vick redemption arc  * David Goggins, mogging, and how kids today are growing up in such a different world than we did * J.P. also breaks down the vision for Make It To Midnight, a passion project built around a line his dad gave him during one of the hardest stretches of his life: "You just gotta make it to midnight every single day. You never know what could happen in the next 24 hours, but you've gotta show up for them."  Follow J.P.: @jhovey34 Make It To Midnight: @makeit2midnight  Bussin' With The Boys: @bussinwtb  The Slice Tennis Podcast: @theslicetennis The Cameron Brown Show is where people, ideas, politics, culture, science, and the unknown collide.

Footage From Inside a UFO?! | MUFON's 10-Month Investigation | Ep. 74

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2353648/fan_mail/new] In December 2021, John was scrolling through his phone deleting old photos when he found a 43-second video he had no memory of recording. The timestamp said 1:15 a.m. on June 12th, 2021. The footage shows what he believes to be the inside of a craft, multiple entities, and a cell tower at eye level. This is episode 74, and it's a follow-up to John's first appearance on the show in episode 36 . This time he's joined by Matt Kellison, Florida State Director for MUFON and a retired US Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer with 30 years of service, 2,000+ flight hours, and certification as an aircraft accident investigator. Matt spent 10 months and hundreds of hours building a full investigative report on John's video. We sat down to go through it. We get into the cell tower math that places the camera roughly 130 feet from the tower lights instead of a quarter mile away. The "ceiling fan" object skeptics latch onto, and why the frame count rules it out. The entities John describes under regression, including grays, a frog-like being, and a reptilian figure he read as a scientist. The unexplained physics inside the craft. The metadata review that found no tampering. And what John believes the tall gray meant when it told him he has a job to do. John is appearing under a pseudonym and his identity is not being shared. Matt's full report is available in the link below and we encourage you to dig into it yourself. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KueZo1bUGJiNEe9U1cE8XP0qm3bhq0Zi/view?usp=drivesdk As both guests say throughout this conversation, the science comes first. Timestamps 00:00 Intro 02:27 John's lifetime of experiences 04:13 Finding the video he never recorded 08:00 How the MUFON case started 09:51 The finding that stopped Matt cold 11:01 Recovering memories through regression 14:15 Matt's investigative background and method 16:00 The "ceiling fan" object and why the math rules it out 20:36 Could the craft itself be organic 21:59 The cell tower and the 130-foot calculation 25:35 Metadata, forensic review, and Stephen Lea's analysis 27:50 The frog being 33:48 Frogs in other experiencer accounts 35:53 The reptilian figure 39:52 The five entities and the visual evidence 42:25 Toroidal spin, gravitational lensing, and the physics inside the craft 46:36 Biological robots and the small grays 48:30 The white strip, frozen light, and craft atmosphere 51:12 The woman's voice in the audio 54:08 Disinformation and how to discern what's real 55:17 Why this information is being allowed out now 58:57 The quickening and the missing scientists 01:01:18 What disclosure looks like over the next 10 years If you have expertise in video or audio analysis, John and Matt are inviting qualified people to examine the footage and the report.

Crowds For Hire: Inside the Protest Business | Adam Swart | Episode 73

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2353648/fan_mail/new] Paid protesters are real. Adam Swart has been paying them for 14 years. Adam is the founder of Crowds on Demand, a firm that organizes political demonstrations, advocacy events, and public appearances for causes, companies, and campaigns across the country. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on an industry most people don't know exists and makes the case that what he does is more transparent than most of what happens in politics. We get into how the business started, who the clients are, what protesters actually get paid, and where the line is between legitimate advocacy and manipulation. We also talk January 6th, federal entrapment, foreign influence in domestic protests, and the transparency bill Adam is pushing in Congress that would require full disclosure of funders behind any organized demonstration. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is a business. And this episode explains exactly how it works. cameronbrownshow.com Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/TheCameronBrownShow]

Is It Time for New Leadership in South Carolina's 4th District? | David Atchley | Episode 71

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2353648/fan_mail/new] David Atchley is a Republican running for Congress in South Carolina's 4th Congressional District, challenging incumbent William Timmons. In this episode, we sit down to talk about why he's running, what's driving his campaign, and the issues he sees facing the Upstate. A business development and fundraising expert with over 20 years of experience, David has led capital campaigns and strategy for organizations including Clemson University, Furman University, the Buzz Aldrin Space Foundation, Greenwood Genetics Center, and the Faison School for Autism. He is also a nationally recognized advocate for Autism research and educational access for children on the spectrum, a cause shaped by his experience raising a son with special needs. Running as a common sense Republican, David's stated priorities include term limits, insurance reform, fair immigration policies, and cutting wasteful spending. He has completed 20 marathons and brings that same discipline to his campaign to put the Fourth District first. We cover the race, his motivations for entering public life, and what he believes the 4th District needs in its next representative.
