    Ep.219 No One Wants To Talk About It! (Donna Monthei of Evervital Nutrition)

From probiotics and metabolism to gut health and yes, poop, Donna believes your body is always telling the truth… you just have to be willing to listen. In this episode, we cut through the wellness fluff and talk about what’s actually driving fatigue, inflammation, and the slow creep of “not feeling like yourself.” Donna brings a practical, no-nonsense approach to functional health that’s rooted in data, not trends — because feeling better isn’t magic, it’s mechanics.

    Ep.214 I feel Like An American (Alex Strenger-Podcast Host, Entertainer, Pedicab Owner)

    Guest: Alex Strenger is a pedicab driver and entertainer based in Austin, Texas who’s carved out a niche as a local provocateur and personality — think equal parts Austin street performer, municipal troll, and self‑styled commentator. He’s known for cranking up chaos at City Council meetings, openly mocking government officials, and hosting an irreverent podcast called Convos on the Pedicab that leans into local satire and “keep‑Austin‑weird” energy. He also makes rap songs about conspiracies and positions himself as a sort of civic jester who highlights absurdities in politics and government with humor and confrontation.
