JOJ Ep. 49 - Algorithms, Arguments & American Grit

🎙️ JOJ Episode 49 — “Algorithms, Arguments & American Grit”

Runtime: 1h 12m 57s

In this episode of The Incredible Journey of Jack, the boys are back in the Texas sunshine for a raw, wide-ranging conversation covering everything from modern fatherhood in media to cancel culture, AI manipulation, and what it means to be an independent thinker in a world addicted to labels.

We unpack viral moments, pop culture debates, and controversial podcasts (Douglas Murray & Dave Smith on Joe Rogan) — while asking deeper questions about authority, truth, and personal freedom. You’ll get laughs, hard takes, and plenty of “did-they-just-say-that?” moments.
