Being Friends with Jeffrey Epstein Wasn’t a Good Idea! | TMP 006

It turns out, being friends with Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t such a good idea! Pam Bondi … oof! Have you ever had to put your dog down? It’s fucking horrible. In this episode of The Marty Party, we take a look at the fallout (so far) from the latest Epstein files release and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's recent congressional testimony. UPDATE: Hours after this podcast was published, it was announced that Prince Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. For this week's culture segment, I waxed poetic on the cultural significance of the classic film "Casablanca" and how it is as relevant as ever today. Finally, I take a few minutes to remember my dog Lacie, who I lost last week. Anyone who has ever had to put their dog down knows exactly how I'm feeling right now.

They Don’t Want You to Watch This | TMP 005

In this episode, we're diving into the recently released Epstein files and exploring the extensive networks and high-profile individuals involved in the case. From timelines to legal implications, we cover it all. FACT CHECK: In this episode, I gave a list of people not found in the Epstein files to contrast with the oft-maligned individuals and the traditionally well-respected people found in the files associated with Epstein and his ilk. It wasn't entirely accurate, as the following individuals are "mentioned" in the files if you search for their names in the DoJ database. Context is important, though, as almost all of them were only mentioned in the context of them being famous, not because of any communication with Epstein: - Charlie Sheen is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Howard Stern is mentioned multiple times, often as an arch-enemy of sorts, and definitely not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Jimmy Kimmel is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Kanye West is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Tom Cruise is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Joe Rogan is mentioned in the context of Epstein asking for an introduction to him via a professor who was a guest on the JRE podcast, as well as multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. - Dennis Rodman is mentioned multiple times due to his celebrity, not because of any connection or communication with Epstein, implied or actual. Did you know we're going back to the Moon? After we're all thoroughly grossed out and disgusted by Epstein and his ilk, I transition over to discuss the implications of the Artemis II mission, which marks a new era in space exploration. And, of course, we can't talk about the Moon and space exploration without mentioning the new documentary "Age of Disclosure." We'll examine the national security concerns surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), the so-called "Legacy Project", and all the characteristics that make a UAP a... well, UAP. Finally, I'll share some insights on parenting in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of protecting children from both physical AND emotional damage. In this era of smartphones and internet access for all, we need to emphasize to our children how important it is to safeguard both their minds and hearts.

Border Patrol Shooting in Minneapolis, Iran Protests, and Alex Honnold’s Taipei 101 Climb | TMP 004

A Border Patrol agent shot and killed a VA ICU nurse in Minneapolis. The Iranian resistance is being brutally crushed. And Alex Honnold just climbed one of the tallest buildings on Earth with no ropes. In this episode of The Marty Party, I break down what we know about the killing of Alex Pretti during a federal immigration enforcement operation, including what the videos show, what the Constitution actually says, and why this case is very different from the last ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Then I bring you up to speed on the ongoing crackdown in Iran, where protests have shifted into underground resistance amid mass arrests, internet blackouts, and thousands of deaths—and what the U.S. may or may not do next. Of course, we had to talk about one of the most insane athletic feats ever recorded: Alex Honnold’s ropeless climb of Taipei 101, streamed live on Netflix. And finally, I laid out my 2026 health and fitness plan, including my weight-loss goals, strength goals, as well as my rucking and running plan... I'm getting ready to turn 40 and refuse to sit on the sidelines of my own life. If you care about constitutional rights, foreign policy, human courage, and doing hard things when it matters, you’re in the right place.

Greenland Tensions, Iranian Revolution, and Aquaman Apprehensions | TMP 003

This week, we’re diving deep into the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding Iran and Greenland. With everything going on, I thought it was important to start with a little historical context on Iran, tracing its tumultuous past from World War II to the present day and highlighting key events such as the 1953 coup, the Iranian Revolution, and the ongoing protests against the regime. And of course, I did my best to explain the implications of U.S. foreign policy in the region, including military actions and sanctions, and give you my take on the potential outcomes of a revolution in Iran. Transitioning to Greenland, I have… concerns. I’m not crazy about the Trump administration's aggressive stance towards acquiring the territory, which has led to tensions with our NATO allies. I acknowledge the strategic importance of Greenland, but we need to recognize the potential consequences of our actions on international relations—particularly in light of Russia's interest in the situation. With news out of the way, I dive into my recent re-watch of the Jason Momoa-led Aquaman movie with my daughter, before wrapping up this week’s episode with a few insights on stepping outside one's comfort zone, drawing from my own experiences in the military and life.

Venezuela, Iran, ICE, and Millennial Nostalgia | TMP 002

In this episode, I revisit the Monroe Doctrine and break down the Maduro capture mission in Venezuela, the revolution unfolding in Iran, and where I draw the line on a U.S. acquisition of Greenland. I have a few hot takes on modern U.S. foreign policy, and explore where power, restraint, and accountability collide. Back in the U.S., I dig into ICE operations in general, and the death of Renee Good in particular. I also took time to reflect on the end of the Minnesota Vikings season and dive into my thoughts on millennial nostalgia.
