From pastries to "clean girl" lattes, we’ve been force-fed this muted green aesthetic for months.


But this nut isn't just a trend. It’s a trophy.


In this episode, I’m cracking the shell on the pistachio industry to reveal how a viral food craze is actually the final coat of paint on a decades-old campaign of economic warfare.


We trace the history from Iran’s ancient pistachio monopoly to the calculated US trade policies designed to cripple a rival economy. And, how this handed an entire global market to a few California billionaires.


It’s a masterclass in how those in power manipulate the "free market" to serve their own empires. And why the things we consume are rarely just about flavour.

I give updates. I answer some silly questions. full 1 3 One Saturday night I had the overwhelming urge to record a new episode for you all. I'm sorry about that.


I was also drinking rum iced tea, not vodka iced tea. But I would recommend it. Totally.


Neuigkeiten (news) was the main topic on the agenda.


Then I asked you all to send me some questions and you were all kind (and messed up) enough to help me on that one.


Again, apologies for this garbage. But I hope you enjoy it !!

I am so sorry. Still, a lot of things I talk about are relevant.


Where are all the worms gone?

Is JoJo Siwa a genius?

Why did it take me 27 years to try fresh figs?


There was no plan going into this but hopefully, it gives you some insight and some philosophical questions to ponder. Awaken the mind sheeple!
