The Deep End

Isaiah Martinezthedeepend.buzzsprout.com
The Deep End is a deep dive into the fascination of Social Phenomenas. Here I help explore the polarizing sensations and what it is that drives us so crazy about them. It is intended to talk about current news, tech development and evolution of pop culture. At times, there will be movie reviews, sports commentary and even history parallels as sometimes these factors become very relevant with cultural changes and generational shifts.

#54 The Heard Depp Trial

It's over.... after months of listening to each side give testimony of about the other's dirty laundry, we finally have a verdict. Amber Heard is a liar. Lol What does this outcome really mean when we boil down to it? Does it mean it is the end of the #Metoo movement? Is it the beginning of #Mentoo? Whether you believe Amber Heard was lying or not, what we had on our hands was an old fashion Pillorying - except memes replaced the stones. Amber Heard is Eve, she is Madonna, Lady Macbeth... she is...

#50 Issues with Recording. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy 50th.

#48 Ye on Drink Champs, Travis Scott's Astroworld Hell on Earth

In this episode I give my reactions to Ye's appearance on Drink Champs and some things I found funny and interesting. I talk about what he said about his wife (still allegedly) and about some of the contradictions that make him appears crazy or narcissistic. I still think it's entertaining or funny to say the least, but it could be dangerous also... again interesting lol. Almost like you have to take out the weeds and find the gems in there somewhere. Then it leads into his bro-in-law, Travis Sc...

#47 Build Back Better, A Paradigm Shift in Politics, Joe Biden, FDR and The New Deal

In this episode, my friend Jaime assists me with talking politics! Currently there is a problem with getting this reconciliation bill passed because of some left wing ideals that are carried in it. A whole lot of money we are talking about here. Where is the funds going to come from is the debate and only 2 US Senators seemed to be the hold. They don't exactly agreed on some of the ideals nor the amount of where the funding is gonna come from and it might have Biden's Presidency hanging in the b...

#43 The End of Trump, The New Market and What Happened to Robin Williams

In this episode, I invite my longtime friend Mark Flores on the show. This was a more casual laid back episode where we just recap the political sphere we were all in in the past 4 years. My last episode was basically a finale of the Trump presidency and we discuss what's changed in 2021? Things are starting to come back to normal, but rest assured, 2020 was definitely a playbook for something in the future to come. We talk politics, social media, the market, and business- how have these things ...

#42 The Ballot or Bullet?

I wanted to discuss my synopsis on Trump's exit and why it wasn't only his failures alone, but Biden's successes that met the moment. There was much holding of breath with Biden, but somehow he overcame his own cringiness which is a testament on its own. With the storming of the capitol, what do we make of this? What are the links and ties between this event and our troubled history? How does architecture play a role with the meaning of "Heritage"? Ironically, it was social media that helped get...

#41 Where Are You Deep End?

With so much going on in the world between storming the capitol and the market scandal, I've finally dropped a new episode catching up on how I've been and what I've been up to since the last drop. This one is more personal and I reflect on what really matters in all this? Because todays news is gone tomorrow. We are so fixed on the next story... the next headline... the next sensation... the next loss ....that we don't feel anything anymore, we lost touch of reality and traded it for the matrix...

#40 It's a WAP

Why were tensions high in Portland? How does a peaceful protest turn into a potential street war? Relations couldn't be more strained with China and we've found ourselves in another cold war. Amid many things unraveling, one of the smaller issues surround the closure of the Chinese Consulate in Houston. China has retaliated and forced U.S. to close its consulate as well... except thats our nearest post to Tibet, but why is this small isolate state so important to us? And how could the Dalai Lama...

#39 It's All One Big Entanglement

In this episode, I talk about Dr. Fauci and the role he's played in Corona Virus Pandemic. From the outset, he was front and center in the televised WH briefings, but lately, he seems to be more and more excluded from national televised networks and I ask the question, why is that? In many ways, the murder of George Floyd in culminated everything BLM protesters have been speaking about. Why Colin Kaepernick took a knee.... And there was an outpouring of support for BLM unlike we've seen yet. Act...

There has been a lot of people going through it this year and right now, we are still mid-pandemic. I myself had some health scares that had me rethink about my life and changed my perspective on things. I guess you could say it was kind of a close call. In this episode, I talk about a real incident that happened to me this year and how it put me at risk of losing my life. The good news is I'm here now and I'm able to talk about it. Hopefully it helps anyone who might be facing these types of sc...

What shows were we hooked to these past decades and why? We realize that there are many podcasts talking about shows they watch right now, we are talking about game changing shows in o...
