About the Podcast
Earnest Mann - Earnest Perspectives
Useful information and unpopular opinions, given with colorful language, by an adult... for adults — on the system, and how to see it coming.
Hello, this is Earnest Mann.
If you're like me, you've heard enough bullshit to last a lifetime.
So stick around.This is a show for grown adults who are tired of being handled — by the companies that sell to them, the institutions that manage them, and the smiling people who explain why it's all for your own good. I'm not here to yell at you. I'm here to make a few things make sense that never made sense before.
Useful information and unpopular opinions, delivered in colorful language, by an adult... for adults.
Every episode takes one piece of the system apart — the fees nobody voted for, the language engineered to make you stop asking questions, the fine print that turns a fair deal into a subscription you can't cancel.
I tell you how it works, how it got that way, and what it costs you. Then I give you the part that actually helps: the rule sitting underneath it, so the next time it's aimed at you, you see it coming.
No experts. No lectures. No pretending I'm neutral. Just a man who's been paying attention for sixty-some years, sitting in a chair, saying the things most people only mutter to themselves in the car.
Come on in, pull up a chair, and relax — because you're definitely not going to hear the same old same old.
New episodes every Monday, and Friday. Reach out any time at The Earnest Mann Show.com — I read and respond to all of it.
You'll also find content there that isn't allowed on YouTube... or anywhere else.The Earnest Mann Show — useful information, and unpopular opinions, given with colorful language, by an adult... for adults.

About your host
Stephen Cobb
As I don’t wish to presume you have all the time in the world, here’s just a tiny little bit, about the Earnest Mann you’re reaching out to…..
I’m just a relatively normal man, I say relatively, considering all that life has put me through… so far.
In the shortest possible terms, I believe it would be extremely difficult, for anyone to have experienced all that I have in life up to this point, and not be expected to show some signs of physiological and psychological wear and tear as a consequence of those experiences.
Yet because of those experiences, are what produces something that simply cannot be bought or learned at University... character.
A very good lady friend of mine, once described me much like a well-old catcher’s mitt, used... but well oiled, comfortable and dependable to the user…
Well, if that’s what some folks consider to be character, I guess I don’t have any damn problem, being compared to an old catcher’s mitt at all! Ha, ha, ha.
As far as employment and business, I’ve done it all. From being a deckhand on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, – and almost dying as a consequence – to extensive experience, in the entertainment business, the restaurant/bar business, sociological research and sapient defense metrics to name just a few of my many life experiences.
Now, throw in a good deal of experiencing – and surviving – bizarre life situations, which I definitely would not have made it through, if not for utilizing my self developed Advanced Perception, and voilà, you end up with….well…. me, and sometimes, to be completely honest, sometimes, I was also very damn lucky! Hahaha.
So if your life’s not so great right now, or more accurately, if it’s gone to hell in a handbasket, reach out to me via the contact page below, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can, and we’ll see if we can’t make things better, perhaps, much better.
Until our paths fatefully meet friend, take care – Earnest.
