The Thomas FreeMe Show: From Prison to Prosperity!

What happens when the kings of comedy trade their artistic integrity for a corporate paycheck? You don't get stand-up—you get a puppet show.In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain on the heavily manufactured, deeply uncomfortable reality behind the latest Hollywood roast. What was packaged as "edgy, no-holds-barred comedy" was actually a masterclass in corporate gaslighting. We break down the forced awkwardness, the deeply offensive jokes that crossed the line from comedy to pure disrespect, and the chilling reality of an industry that pays its stars to act as mouthpieces for a broader agenda.We aren't just talking about a bad comedy special; we are talking about the illusion of free speech.In this episode, we unpack:The Hollywood Grip: How stand-up morphed from raw, authentic truth into sanitized, executive-approved messaging.Puppets for a Paycheck: Why major stars are compromising their integrity and reading scripts they didn't write just to stay relevant in the establishment.The Chappelle Factor: Why true independent voices recognize the machine and refuse to step on that stage.The Free Speech Illusion: Why heavily funded, scripted agendas aren't "free speech"—they are corporate transactions.

Part 1: The Minor League Pitch and the Perfect FraudHow did a former professional baseball player go from pitching at 90 MPH to orchestration the largest sports memorabilia fraud ring in eBay history? We step inside the operation, and the mental state that built it.In this episode, The Athlete's Shadow: Analyzing the psychological state of an athlete facing career failure (injury, release) and how "minor league" fame creates a dangerous vacuum that fraud can fill.The Genesis of the "Racket": How the operation began with small-scale forgeries and scaled rapidly, utilizing close personal relationships—including his mother and friends—to create a "trust circle" that shielded the fraud.The Power of the Marker: The mindset required to forge thousands of autographs, from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter, and the specific high-level manipulation used to convince collectors of authenticity.Mental State of the Catalyst: What psychological triggers led him to believe he could, and should, get away with it on such a monumental scale? Was it purely greed, or an act of desperation and entitlement?

A short clip on why crime is always growing and fluctuating. Just like the Medical field and any other large institution in America. It's a profitable business.

Welcome back to another episode. This is a very important episode as in light of the recent floor votes in our personal security, the Federal Government is STILL allowed to surveil United States Citizens without a warrant. Mr Alex Charns who is today's guest outlines the past of how the FBI was formed under Hoover and the corruption that was in place then which set the tone for what we are seeing in today's F.B.I. A ruthless organization that abides by no law other than the ones "they" set. A true definition of Democracy.

Welcome everyone to a new episode 3.10.24 where I bring back an old guest by the name of Alex Glass. Alex spent a little time in the Federal system for bank robbery. That experience woke him up to the fact he was a father and needed to start being a provider. Seeing an issue of correspondence and resources within the Federal system, Alex got out a reformed man and created what is now known as Phoenix Reentry Resources. (www.phoenixreentryresources.org) In this discussion Alex and I break down what it truly means to build our own nonprofits versus working for one. We get into how corporate minds have moved into the not for profit sector looking for profits and handouts. We talk about how greedy county commissioners line themselves up with these greedy non profits to take tax payers money that is used to help clean up the streets. All opinions in this show are that of the show and no one else. None of these allegations have been proven and are only truths of our experiences. 

Welcome back to another week and another great episode. This weeks discussion is a playback from one year ago where Paul Kratsas and I talk about the atrocities we can get ourselves into. Growing up in and out of prison, I learned at an early age how my decisions could get me un-alived quickly, or even worse if you can imagine that for a second. So it was understanding that our choices can lead to the very chaos we are trying to avoid. Thank you again for tuning in and next week will be a new episode about racist District Attorney Doug Evans. Doug Evans was the D.A. for Jackson Mississippi who tried Curtis Flowers 6 TIMES!! He got scathing opinions from the Supreme Court that ultimately forced Doug Evans to retire. But Curtis Flowers wasn't the only one!!!

 This is a hardcore look at what having no hope in the community looks like. No one wants to admit that they are hopeless so we lie to ourselves in order to cope with the reality we have dug ourselves into

Welcome back and thank you for the recent growth. *Trigger Warning***Adult content and graphic prison talk**Todays episode is about how friends can get you into situations taht last a lifetime. Also we get into prison violence and the things we have to do during our incarcerations and then expected to switch upon release. Bonus video: The night before I left for Federal Prison

Thank you all for the recent growth!! I pray all is well and everyone is living their best lives. Today Tony and I go into depth about our relationships and addictions. Tony is a residential here at Coming Home Coalition in a program called inside out. Inside Out is exactly that, I work on the root of the issues. Which is why rule number one is accountability. We must know that we have fault in all things chaotic. Let me know how the improvements are as I am continually trying to improve your listening enjoyment. 

Hello every one and welcome back to season 4. Things have been really hectic to close the year out, trying to set this non-profit in stone here in Pasco and all the competition in that, things have been tough. But the end of the year is here and I have a whole slew of new content coming out. Getting back to the roots and bringing awareness to those who need it, Season 4 will be all about cleaning out closets.This episode is a prelude to just that. How many of us Americans have been carrot-sticked into believing our hard work and dedication will pay off?My father was one of those men who put a lot of work in for a school and a county who showed no appreciation or acknowledgement, only made his work conditions so horrible that he ultimately had to quit and seek professional help. 

Hello everyone and welcome back. Welcoming back once again Ms Penney Peirce I bring on a friend and a guest, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ms Courtney Cavall. Courtney has been plagued by a reoccurring dream about her being chased and murdered in a cottage town. We explore some of Ms Penney's experience having heart surgery and how she maintained her spirit through that ordeal and we delve into mindsets. How optimism or pessimism spawns from our environments as children.
