About the show

Let’s Hash It Out with The Nerd. I value conversations - about all kinds of topics - and putting them on my professional page was never a good strategy when I like to have conversations about conspiracy theories and out of this world topics, true crime and scandals! We also love to talk about good things and business wins and losses... but this whole show is dedicated to conversations full of enrichment. Thanks for being here and thanks for talking. Hosted by The Nerd — Jenn, author & host of Marketing Is Mind Control and author of the book with the same title. From a corporate background in marketing to freelance niche industry PR, I've been there and done that. The mission now is to help you navigate the waters when you go to do the thing. The Marketing is Mind Control podcast stays on course of marketing topics & business. The Let's Hash it Out with the Nerd podcast is me... same brain... deeper conversations. Topics may include: • human trafficking awareness • grooming and manipulation psychology • addiction and recovery • institutional failures • recovering after medical or pharmaceutical or institutional harm • culture, power, media narratives • and the questions we aren’t always allowed to ask out loud apparently... I missed the memo. Again, sometimes guests will be introduced with full credentials... Other times, my guests may remain anonymous so ideas can be discussed freely without negative bot clapback on these folks' businesses... but not in the sense of let's spread hate, but more like, we are people and have conversations we want to grow the world into a better place for us all and don't want to evoke bot or elite targeting campaigns on everyone for everything. If a guest wants the acknowledgement, we'll do it. If not, we don't and we don't read them for twenty minutes while you stare at the guest while I read... that's for sure! This show isn’t about claiming absolutes or propping people up for stardom— it’s about thinking out loud, comparing perspectives, and exploring ideas together. If you enjoy curious minds, honest conversation, and asking better questions, pull up a chair. Let’s hash it out...

Why did Emma on The Imagination delete Brad Conley's interview?

🎙️ THEY DELETED THE ONLY INTERVIEW LIKE IT — HERE'S WHY THAT MATTERS What happens when a whistleblower lawyer's three-hour interview gets scrubbed from the internet — except for one copy found in Sweden? ABOUT THIS EPISODE The Nerd sits down with the story of Brad Conley — attorney turned whistleblower — whose 2023 interview with a prominent survivor podcast was deleted, stripped from every platform, and buried. All 191 minutes of it. In this episode, The Nerd breaks down why that interview connected so many dots across Hollywood, academia, child acting, false memory research, and the survivor community — and why she believes the suppression of Brad's story is itself part of the story. From Full House to UC Irvine, from Charles Manson's Cielo Drive address to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, from Elizabeth Loftus to NXIVM — Brad's original interview touched names and institutions that make a lot of powerful people uncomfortable. The Nerd shares what she learned, why she was labeled "dangerous to the survivor movement" for simply asking questions, and what you need to research for yourself. This one is for the dot-connectors. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [00:00] — Why this episode is being live-streamed: receipts, records, and real talk [02:00] — Who is Brad Conley? Lawyer, father, whistleblower — and why The Nerd started researching him [04:00] — His ex-wife: child actress, UCI tenured professor, and a marriage that unraveled publicly [06:30] — The False Memory Syndrome Foundation — who created it, why, and why it matters to survivors [08:30] — Elizabeth Loftus: memory researcher, expert witness, and why she's been wildly misrepresented [11:00] — The deleted interview: 500+ episodes, and Brad's was the only one scrubbed [13:30] — NLP, hypnosis, and the podcaster at the center of the survivor network blowup [17:00] — How a single question about a photo set off a two-year defamation campaign [22:00] — The names in the 11-minute clip: Manson, Sharon Tate, Roman Polanski, Bob Saget, Allison Mack, Jeff Franklin, NXIVM [27:00] — Brad's full post on X: every person, place, and institution mentioned [30:00] — Where to find the recovered audio interview and how to follow Brad's work [43:00] — The "sock account" controversy and what the original channel artwork proves Think for yourself. Research the names. Connect the dots. 🎧 Let's Hash it Out Podcast with The Nerd This episode is brought to you by Marketing is Mind Control — the book that pulls back the curtain on how influence, persuasion, and psychological tactics shape what you believe, buy, and trust.

Quick Tick Tip Under 1 Minute- You have time to listen!

Ticks are everywhere in 2026 - Use Cedarwood Essential Oil and maybe eucalyptus, peppermint, geranium, clove -- they all work well, but cedarwood oil is the important key.... and mix it into a sprayer bottle attachment for your hose and douse your yard or perimeter about every 2-4 weeks. Our yard is quieter for sure, and so many fewer ticks. It basically stops their breathing mechanisms, so they either can't cross that oil line or don't try to. Use cedarwood mulch/chips also as a perimeter to keep your yard walkable this summer. If you need help with this or any essential oil recipe, email Oil Lady J at GetMeOils@gmail.com - a happy sponsor of the LET'S HASH IT OUT Podcast with The Nerd Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/let-s-hash-it-out-with-the-nerd--5877309/support .

Media Betrayal of High Stakes Whistleblowers with Brad Conley

Media betrayal as a high stakes whistleblower: Unveiling the Hidden Manipulations 0:01 - Introduction We discuss the importance of conversation amid the manipulation of narratives available when one goes searching for "news." ... What can you trust and how do you find out what's going on when everything is an illusion of what's really happening? 0:12 - Infiltration and Disruption Brad shares insights on how genuine movements are infiltrated to dilute their impact, drawing parallels with past events. 1:36 - Media's Role in Narrative Control Discussion on how media coverage is strategically minimized to control public perception. 4:02 - Human Trafficking Hubs Exploration of Houston as a major trafficking hub and the systemic issues surrounding it. 6:10 - The Power of Non-Reporting How the absence of media coverage can be more telling than the coverage itself. 8:28 - Marketing as Mind Control The Nerd and Brad delve into how SEO and media narratives are manipulated to control public opinion. 12:03 - The Role of Big Churches Discussion on how large religious organizations use psychological techniques to influence followers. 26:28 - The Ash Conformity Study Brad explains the psychological study that demonstrates how group pressure can alter individual perceptions. 38:20 - The Grey Situation A look into the complexities and confrontations within the disclosure movement. 50:42 - Music and Mind Control The influence of music in religious and secular settings as a tool for emotional manipulation. 1:16:43 - Disneyland and Narrative Control Brad shares personal insights into how Disneyland is intertwined with broader societal narratives. 1:37:50 - The Role of Alternative Media Exploration of how alternative media can both reveal and obscure the truth. * Note: We discussed this live upon watching a news clip from the AllysArmy.com march for children and awareness against Human Trafficking that happened on May 30th in Houston - the news featured another survivor only, who never mentioned Ally's mission and why she organized it - or who helped. BUT I then heard Ally on a LIVE later that day - she said it so well, "I was glad a survivor got a minute, and great - it was covered." Perfect response - so don't hold us accountable for on-the-spot thinking of wanting Ally's group and their efforts to be rewarded with at least some airtime, but listen to Ally herself - Hawkshaw90 on X or AllysArmy.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/let-s-hash-it-out-with-the-nerd--5877309/support .

We should be able to talk about this...

In this crossover episode, The Nerd talks with whistleblower Brad Conley about technology and marketing in terms of the survivor movement and what's helped them survive, what's put them in danger and are they safer by speaking up or is that where handlers can find them? Our mission with these questions is NOT to ever question a survivor's story or their memories or their trauma, but instead, question more of the abusers and handlers motives and actions and people who exploit their pain and trauma in an effort to generate good marketing for a product or service they are selling - which if it benefits the survivors and those survivors are free and safe, then great- right? But if it's controlled opposition and we're all under a marketing spell that we think is truth, and we're no closer to solutions than we were fifty years ago - that's dangerous, right? Asking questions has been deemed offensive... We aren't asking questions from a stance that questions a survivors' pain which is what is reacted to sometimes, causing drama in the twitterspaces and speaking for myself, the nerd only - We have never believed that FMS or Loftus' premise that SRA didn't happen was a good stance- we are asking questions knowing their research and operating under the premise SRA did and does happen and marketing is where the public gets spun - and looking at the how and why to help us all prepare better for the constant psyops and traps. No absolutes, just questions in this tough conversation of Marketing is Mind Control. Follow Brad Conley on X (formerly twitter) at @jb_conley We know MK Ultra existed. We know it didn't end. We know it controlled minds and used spins similar to PR that covered it all these years --- so we have questions.

Montessori and Minecraft | Let's Hash it Out with High Stakes Whistleblower Brad Conley

Minecraft isn’t just a game. Sometimes it’s a classroom, a connection point, even a mirror... Sometimes it is a hotbed of corruption. In this episode of Let’s Hash It Out, my guest is Brad Conley - a high-stakes whistleblower out of Los Angeles. He and I get into something bigger than screens and schooling. We talk about what happens when digital worlds become spaces for corruption to hide. How institutions that should care about that corruption ignore it and how officials who are trusted with children, teenagers, and the minds of vulnerable people are misusing that trust and their resources to seemingly "harm the masses" or single victims. There is a lot to unpack here... Let's Hash it Out... NOTE: We discuss MINECRAFT, but not playstyle or in a good way, so little ears should NOT listen to this podcast. -- In case SEO brought little ears here by accident, this is not information made for little ears, but it's a warning to them, so parents, listen up.

Part 2 of 2 Hidden Voices, Real Stories | A discussion with high stakes whistleblower Brad Conley

Part 2 of 2 (so far) with @jb_conley about LA, Hollywood, Child Actors, Whistleblowers and Corrupt Family Courts. Ever wonder who decides which stories get heard—and which ones don’t? Here’s where things get complicated. In Part 2, we move beyond avatars and into the real-world landscape of podcasts, whistleblowers, and how narratives are shaped in real time. Not every voice is treated equally. Some are amplified overnight. Others are buried, deleted, or made impossible to find. And in between? A flood of conflicting stories, firsthand accounts, and platforms that may—or may not—have an agenda. We get into the messy middle: Why firsthand experiences matter, even when they’re uncomfortable? How have podcasts become the new gatekeepers of truth? What happens when multiple stories overlap—but don’t fully align...? And why is asking questions often discouraged when it matters most...? This isn’t about picking sides. It’s about putting everything on the table and thinking critically. Because when stories are filtered, suppressed, or strategically pushed… that shapes what people believe—and what they ignore. So how do you sort truth from noise? Thank you to my guest today. Please follow: JB - @jb_conley and if you care you, myself, The Nerd, at @TheNerdInCharge Thanks for being here. You Rock!
