The Big Truth Podcast

In this episode of The Big Truth Podcast, we sit down with filmmakers Eric Kinsey and Joseph Zentil to break down their new film Born to Lose—a raw, unfiltered look at struggle, identity, and the forces that shape outcomes before you even realize it. But this conversation doesn’t stay in one lane. We also tap into chopper culture, kustom builds, and the legacy of classic biker films—the aesthetic, the attitude, and the deeper connection between rebellion, identity, and storytelling.
🔍 What We Get Into:
The real story behind Born to Lose — inspiration, message, and intent
How environment, upbringing, and systems quietly shape life outcomes
The line between personal responsibility and structural disadvantage
Why so many people feel trapped in cycles they didn’t create
The psychological impact of being labeled “lost” or “behind”
Independent filmmaking: building something real without industry backing
The crossover between film and chopper/kustom culture
How classic biker movies influenced the tone, visuals, and themes
The role of motorcycles as identity, freedom, and rebellion
Why authentic subcultures still matter in a manufactured media landscape

🏍️ Culture Thread: Choppers, Kustoms & Biker Film Influence This episode also digs into the DNA of chopper and kustom culture—not just as a style, but as a mindset. We talk:
The DIY, anti-establishment roots of chopper culture
How motorcycles became a symbol of freedom and non-compliance
The influence of classic films like Easy Rider and The Wild One
Why that energy still resonates today—in both film and real life
It’s not nostalgia—it’s a through-line.
🧠 Key Themes:
You’re not always starting from the same line—but you’re still in the race
Systems don’t always need to stop you—they just need to slow you down
Identity is often shaped externally before it’s ever chosen internally
Subculture is where real expression survives
Awareness is the first step—but action is what breaks the cycle

🎬 About the Film: Born to Lose is a grounded, character-driven project that explores what it means to grow up in conditions that quietly stack the odds against you—and what it takes to push back against that narrative. It’s not glamorized.
It’s not exaggerated.
It’s closer to reality than most people are comfortable admitting.
💬 Why This Conversation Matters: A lot of people feel stuck—but can’t explain why. This episode gives language to that feeling. And connects it to something deeper—identity, environment, and the cultures we attach ourselves to in order to find meaning and freedom.

You’re not getting the full story. Not because it doesn’t exist—
but because it never makes it to you. In this episode, Rob Rosen and I break down how media narratives are shaped long before they reach your screen. We cover:
Why some stories explode while others disappear
The pressure points behind media decision-making
How “acceptable narratives” are enforced without direct orders
The illusion of independent reporting
What this means for how you interpret the world
This isn’t about left vs. right. It’s about understanding the system behind both. If you want to think clearly in a manipulated environment—start here.

Episode: Big Truth Podcast — with Cary Brobeck (Owner/Editor-in-Chief, Choppers Magazine + Founder/Organizer, Chopper Fest) Core promise: A behind-the-scenes look at how chopper culture actually gets preserved and pushed forward—through print, shows, relationships, and a lot of unglamorous work. Cary Brobeck breaks down the real day-to-day reality of running an iconic print magazine in an internet era while still working a full-time construction/QC job, plus what it took to take over Chopper Fest and scale it to 10,000+ attendees. The conversation hits chopper culture's punk/DIY roots, the market's price swings, the importance of showing up in the industry, and a major mission: preserving David Mann artwork and artifacts via the David Mann Legacy Foundation.   Key topics & highlights ·       Chopper Fest: how Cary took over a 20-year legacy event (originally tied to David Mann) and doubled attendance year-over-year. ·       The grind nobody sees: why "owning a magazine" doesn't mean you're not still clocking in at a day job. ·       Why choppers (not just motorcycles): the punk/skate/custom-culture pipeline—loud, dangerous, DIY, and personal. ·       Market talk: vintage bike pricing swings (knuckles, pans, shovels), and why things feel like they're "breathing" again. ·       Publishing origin story: Dice → early projects → working with Easy Riders / Wrench → the path to Choppers Magazine. ·       Choppers Magazine name revival: how "Choppers Mag" (Ed Roth era) became available—and why Cary got the Roth family blessing first. ·       Preserving motorcycle art: the plan to collect and protect David Mann originals + artifacts so they don't disappear into attics, estates, and trash piles. ·       Harley sponsorship reality: how Cary views working with a corporation while staying rooted in the culture—plus why relationships matter. ·       What's next: more shows, possible "town takeovers," and future special issues (including an all-women riders edition idea).   For More Info: ·       Choppers Magazine (IG): @choppersmagazine ·       Chopper Fest (IG): @chopperfest   If you enjoyed this episode, follow/subscribe to the Big Truth Podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share this one with a builder, a rider, or anyone who cares about preserving culture—not just consuming it.

What happens when a decorated Marine combat pilot, squadron intelligence officer, Hollywood insider, and bestselling starts asking questions about UFO disclosure, government secrecy, and psychological operations? This one goes deep. The conversation goes far beyond "aliens." In this episode, M.D. Selig — author of the international bestselling thriller Hush — joins the show from a boat in the Pacific to unpack the uncomfortable intersection between military intelligence, narrative control, and the shaping of public perception. Drawing from his background in military intelligence and storytelling, he breaks down how narratives are engineered, why timing matters, and how institutions manage information during moments of public tension. We explore the possibility that disclosure itself may not simply be about revealing truth — but about controlling the context in which truth is received. From military information warfare to media framing, from MH370 to 9/11, this discussion pulls on the threads that connect secrecy, perception management, and long-term narrative control. This episode isn't about sensationalism. It's about examining how institutional power shapes what we're allowed to see — and what we're conditioned not to question. If you're interested in UFO disclosure, psychological operations, state power, military intelligence, or the broader war over reality itself, this conversation will stay with you Topics Covered: ·       The real story behind "UFO disclosure" — and why timing matters ·       Psychological operations (psyops), and how narratives are engineered ·       The architecture of state secrecy and perception management Military intelligence and information warfare
Government secrecy and institutional power structures
Media framing and engineered consensus
·       The disappearance of Malaysian Flight MH370 ·       9/11 and long-tail information control ·       Deep state dynamics and institutional power patterns ·       The blurred line between fiction, classified reality, and power ·       Speaking out publicly after serving inside the system   For more info: Web: http://www.mdselig.com   As always, please hit the subscribe button if you like and support what we do!
