Eric Robinson from Preacher to Breacher, Ex-Pastor’s Irreverent FBI Adventures S2-EP21

Fri, 22 May 2026 22:00:28 GMT

Join Havok and LX on the Space Tomatoes Podcast for a hilariously funny chat with retired FBI Special Agent Eric Robinson. After 12 years as a Baptist pastor complete with stress headaches from carrying every congregant’s drama, Uno scandals, and a debut sermon on circumcision. Eric traded sermons for search warrants and became a fed anyway.

He spills the beans on everything, botched SWAT breaches (couch blocked doors and eight swings of pure chaos), interrogation mind games that make Hollywood look ridiculous, drug ops, public corruption cases, and why pastors might just make the perfect feds. They roast Criminal Minds, debate the moral fine print on lying to bad guys, and preview Eric’s upcoming book Irreverent: From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI. Faith, firepower, poop filled basements (yuck), and non-stop banter this episode is pure gold.

Cathy Nesbitt - Worms in the Kitchen, Laughter Yoga, and Educational Silliness S2-EP20

Fri, 15 May 2026 22:00:28 GMT

LX and Havok welcome the unstoppable Cathy Nesbitt founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composter (24 years selling worms by the pound!), Cathy’s Sprouts, and Cathy’s Laughter Club to the Space Tomatoes Podcast.

What started as a “Toronto landfill just exploded and we’re shipping garbage to Michigan in a thousand trucks a week” panic became the ultimate indoor composting empire. Cathy reveals how red wiggler worms (yep, five hearts each) turn your kitchen scraps into “black gold” in a Rubbermaid bin even if you live in a condo.

Hear the legendary school workshop tales: over 100,000 kids, squealing worm hugs, one brave (or peer-pressured) student who actually ate a worm on a countdown, and the time the boys tried sticking worms to the bathroom ceiling like spaghetti.

Plus: why sprouts are your countertop superfood secret, how laughter yoga floods you with happy hormones (and why it feels super awkward the first time), and why Cathy once considered starting a dating site for “you got worms, I got worms” singles.

Practical, hilarious, and weirdly inspiring this episode proves sustainability can be fun, regenerative, and done from your apartment.

If you’ve ever said “eww, worms in the house,” Cathy’s got your number (and a comeback).

Drop a comment: Would YOU let worms move in?

Robert Mahoney on Humanizing Violence Prevention S2-EP17

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 21:00:28 GMT

Hosts Havok and LX welcome Robert Mahoney, founder and CEO of TVT Solutions (Targeted Violence & Terrorism Prevention) for a fresh take on why calling violence “random” is total nonsense. Instead of more cameras, battle-rattle cops, and fortress vibes, Robert makes the witty, human-first case for real prevention: spotting behavioral clues early, building multidisciplinary “care teams” in schools, libraries, FedEx routes, and beyond, and understanding how radicalization actually works (hint: it’s all about filling those identity, purpose, and community buckets).

From reframing radicalization and why feelings drive behavior (not logic) to the pitfalls of hyper specialized systems, AI overkill, and reviving the spirit of true community care without stomping on civil liberties this one flips the security script from fear-based to empathy-powered. Thought provoking, practical, and way less dystopian than you’d expect. Tune in and discover how spotting struggles beats waiting for the boom every single time!

Economist Dr Doug Cardell Exposes Central Planning Human Nature & Why Socialism Struggles S2-EP15

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:00:25 GMT

In this eye-opening episode of the Space Tomatoes Podcast, Dr. Doug Cardell — economist, historian, and author of Why Socialism Struggles joins us to break down why socialism, communism, and fascism all lead to the same dead end: government control of the economy.

Dr. Cardell explains:

• The real definition of socialism (government owns everything)

• Why centrally planned economies are doomed (chaotic systems + human self-interest)

• How early American colonies nearly starved under collectivism until private property saved them

• The difference between “working for a living” and creating value for others

• Why minimum wage, student loans, and healthcare costs exploded (government tinkering, not capitalism)

• A practical fix for boom-bust flipping with a scaled capital gains tax

He also shares his powerful mindset shift: “People shouldn’t work for a living. What we should be doing is creating value.” A must-watch for anyone tired of utopian promises and ready for evidence-based economics.

Havok and LX are back with zero script as they dive headfirst into Bitcoin with special guest Chris Liss (host of The Chris Liss Podcast https://fountain.fm/show/g91yDXlvog8DcsaszgD8). From “what the heck is this internet money anyway?” to Chris’s perfect “battery for your energy” analogy, this episode is an interesting and fun, no BS crash course on why fiat is quietly leaking value while Bitcoin just sits there holding the charge.

Expect rants on volatility “it only goes up… eventually”, why gold is cute but Bitcoin is the digital upgrade, Nostr’s value-for-value zaps that let you tip creators without the Substack guilt trip, Lightning wallets, self custody paranoia, and even a wild George Carlin as Satoshi theory. Plus, Chris drops wisdom on why normies should stop treating Bitcoin like a stock and start seeing it as the future of money itself.

If you’ve ever wondered “is this just gambling?” or “how do I actually buy some without getting rekt?”, this one is for you. Grab your sats, zap if you vibe, and join the conversation because in 2026, the printer is still running and the battery is looking mighty tempting.

From Attitude Era war stories and paying dues with the Wild Samoans, to Picard vs Kirk supremacy debates, Tribble rants, Quake LAN-party flashbacks, Elden Ring rage quits, and why Havok thinks your new music is “suspect,” Sean delivers two hours of high octane, ADHD fueled tangents, life philosophy (“find something you love… then figure out how to get paid for it”), and zero filter elder millennial wisdom.

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 23:00:25 GMT

Join Havok and LX on the Space Tomatoes Podcast for a thoughtful conversation with Dr. Marc J. Defant, professor of geology and geochemistry at the University of South Florida. A scientist whose career began with volcanoes, Dr. Defant brings a data-driven perspective to one of today’s most intriguing debates: evolutionary psychology versus social constructionism.

What shapes who we are, biology rooted in hundreds of thousands of years of hunter-gatherer life, or a blank-slate mind shaped only by culture? Dr. Defant explores how instincts, testosterone, gender roles, and evolutionary pressures still influence modern society, relationships, parenting, education, and even campus culture. Expect clear, evidence-based insights on masculinity and femininity, male parental investment, sexual selection, and why recognizing our biological heritage can actually support, rather than undermine, equality and understanding.

This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the timeless nature-versus-nurture conversation and its real-world implications today. Science-first, respectful, and eye-opening from start to finish.
