On this episode of The AUXORO Podcast, Noah Kahan and I get into how to nail a first date, Noah's fake Wikipedia page, how therapy can be a great tool to better know yourself, Noah's encounters with internet trolls, wisdom from The Office's Michael Scott, and more.
This episode with Noah Kahan was originally released on the podcast back in 2019. I wanted to re-release this conversation because Noah is one of my favorite artists who has exploded within the past year, and also, when I first released this episode I had a much smaller audience than what I have today and I wanted to introduce it to the vast majority of AUXORO listeners who may have missed it. Enjoy.
Guest Bio: Noah Kahan is a singer-songwriter and artist from Strafford, Vermont. His breakout track 'Stick Season' was recently certified platinum.

On this preview of the full episode only available on AUXORO Premium at AUXORO.SUPERCAST.COM, Zach reacts to the Destiny Vs. Milo Yiannaopolous debate on Christian Nationalism. Destiny is a YouTuber, political commentator, and video game streamer who has not shied away from discussing controversial topics like race, wokeness, and violence despite being banned from major platforms. I enjoy Destiny's videos and see him as a guy who makes engaging, rational content. Milo Yiannopoulus is a political commentator, provocateur, and an ex-gay Catholic. I've also enjoyed strains of Milo, and I currently believe that he's either trolling harder than he ever has before or has gone off the deep end. This one gets wild.

On this episode of The AUXORO Podcast, Zach and Chloé Valdary react in real-time to the recent viral debate between the infamous Andrew Tate and Psychologist David Sutcliffe. Andrew Tate, at one time the most Googled person on the planet, is a four-time world champion kickboxer who has risen in the ranks to become the most notorious face in social media and podcasting. Andrew Tate has not only broken the internet, but he has shattered many people's ability to look at things from a nuanced perspective.
The word on the street is that you either love or hate Andrew Tate, and for a lot of people that may be true. But I'm fascinated by the nuance of a man's spirit, and I know Chloe is as well, and we know that only when you dive deep into the psyche do you truly get to know a person. That is exactly what psychologist David Sutcliffe did in a masterful way during a two-plus-hour face-to-face showdown with Andrew Tate. The conversation is billed as a debate where it's Andrew Tate VERSUS the psychologist, but you'll quickly hear that it's less of a debate and more of an exploration of Tate's past trauma, present mind, and the future he sees for himself and society. In part 1 of this three-part series, Chloe and I react to about 45 min of this over two-hour debate, so buckle up. Come along with us on this ride where we watch a master psychologist surgically traverse the mind and soul of Andrew Tate.

On this episode of The AUXORO Podcast, James Kirchick and Zach record a thrilling two-parter. The first half of the episode focuses on James Kirchick's interview with Armie Hammer titled 'Armie Hammer Breaks His Silence' (published by Air Mail Feb 2023), the first and only interview given by Armie Hammer since he was accused of sexual abuse and cannibalism and blacklisted from Hollywood. We get into evidence that shows how Elizabeth Chambers, Hammer's now ex-wife, colluded with the main accuser Effie, why the "cannibal" accusations are unfounded and ridiculous, the shortcomings and negligence of the 'House Of Hammer' documentary, texts from Hammer's accusers that paint a completely different story than the one portrayed by the mainstream media, a #MeToo NFT minted and sold by one of Hammer's accusers, the origins of Hammer's interest in BDSM, and more.
The second half of the episode covers James Kirchick's book Secret City: The Hidden History Of Gay Washington. We discuss how homosexuality became intertwined with the heightened threat of communism, the purge of gay employees from the federal government, The Lavender Scare, the courageous story of Frank Cameny, the plot to out Reagan as part of a clandestine homosexual cabal, and the throughlines between the cancellation of Armie Hammer and the gay men in Washington who had their lives destroyed.
