Moon landing questions and cultural skepticism are no longer fringe ideas. They are quiet conversations happening everywhere.

On this episode of At The Mic Friday Happy Hour, Keith Malinak is joined by Brad Staggs and Kelly Smith for a winding, unscripted journey through nostalgia, government trust, real estate trends, AI, trivia, prohibition, technology, personal stories, and the strange comfort of humor when certainty disappears. The conversation does not follow a straight line. It drifts, doubles back, stumbles into absurdity, then unexpectedly lands on something honest. What begins as jokes about tomatoes and microphones slowly becomes a reflection on memory, authority, and how easily truth bends when no one is looking too closely. This is not an episode about answers. It is about the unease that comes when the story you were given no longer fits.

Chapters:
00:00 Nostalgia, Memory, and First Assumptions
10:05 When The News Sounds Fake
18:19 Why Everything Is Gray Now
43:00 Identity, Family, and Inheritance
46:51 America Tried To Ban Alcohol

01:12:28 Technology Running Our Lives
01:22:30 Government, Trust, and Doubt
01:46:50 AI, Simulation, and What’s Next

So be honest. Did we land on the moon, or did we just land on a really confident story?
