Vitamins

Building a Brand

Everyone's building a brand, or at least they say they are. But the truth is brutal: almost all never even launch, most die within five years, and many survivors limp along invisible. In this episode, Patrick and Amber go deep into what it takes to build something that lasts, from the dot com crash to the TikTok hustle. Forget chasing a viral hit, buying followers, or throwing money at influencers. None of it matters if you don't show up relentlessly, if you don't bleed out content when no one's watching, and if you can't connect on something raw and human. This isn't a step-by-step guide, it's a reality check on how to build a brand in a world that couldn't care less.

Evidence

Wellness is crowded with claims. Fibre lowering cancer risk, fluoride protecting teeth, strength training keeping muscle. These are built on evidence and they hold. Then come the rest. Lemon water detox, parasite cleanses, oil pulling, hydrogen water. They collapse the moment you press them. This episode is a stress test. Some rituals earn their place. Others belong to TikTok theatre. The difference is the evidence, and it is rarer than the industry wants to admit. We cut through myths and marketing to find out what is real and what is just wellness cosplay.

Vitamins

Vitamins are sold as the basics of health. C for your skin, D for your bones, B12 for your brain. Without them the body folds in on itself. They are the quiet machinery that keeps you upright, the line between strength and collapse. Which is why they get treated as harmless. But too much twists the promise. B6 hides in pills, powders, and fortified drinks until nerves start to burn out. Numb hands, dead feet, trouble walking, all in the name of wellness. Most of us already have enough, yet the industry keeps adding more. We break down how vitamins went from survival to sales pitch, and why FLCK refuses to dump them in indiscriminately just to look "healthy."

Pain

Pain used to be something we treated. Now it's something we market. This episode dives into how trauma, discomfort, and the fear of suffering have become trillion-dollar industries. From opiates and antidepressants to ayahuasca retreats, ice baths, and TikTok tarot. We talk pharmaceutical trapdoors, rebound headaches, and why we keep inventing new ways to hurt ourselves just to feel alive. We also dive into lobotomies, brain-eating amoebas, salt & vinegar induced mouth cancer, and why Reddit is the worst doctor in the world. Pain sells. Relief sells more. And when that stops working? We sell pain again.

Belief

Why do humans need something, anything, to believe in? In this episode, we dive into belief in all its forms: gods, tarot cards, morning rituals, and the little personal superstitions that help us feel in control when life makes no sense. We talk about manifestation, spirituality as the new religion, TikTok fame as a brush with the divine, and why some people trade church pews for crystals and clairvoyants. Is it about purpose? Community? Or just trying to outrun our fear of the end? Pour your powdered greens (or don't) and join us for a conversation about why humans cling to the mystical, the spiritual, and the slightly absurd, because sometimes belief is the only thing between us and the void.
