    #26: Titanic, the Federal Reserve, and Theories That Won’t Sink

    What if the Titanic disaster wasn’t just a tragic accident — but a perfectly timed moment in history? We are digging  into one of the most persistent historical conspiracy theories: the connection between the sinking of the Titanic and the creation of the Federal Reserve. We break down what’s fact, what’s speculation, and why theories continue to resurface more than a century later. From powerful financiers to missing opponents of centralized banking, we examine why people still question whether the Titanic was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time — or exactly where it needed to be. No tin foil hats required. Just context, curiosity, and a healthy amount of side-eye. #Titanic #FederalReserve #ConspiracyTheory 00:00  Why the Titanic Theory Still Won’t Die 02:45  The Titanic Disaster: What We Know 06:30  Who Was Onboard (And Why That Matters) 10:12  J.P.

    #25: Root Causes, Gut Health, and Taking Your Health Back— with Amber Warren

    What if your symptoms aren’t the problem — they’re the signal? This week, we're joined by Amber Warren, PA-C, IFMCP,  co-owner and provider at the Functional Medicine Institute in Idaho’s Treasure Valley, to talk about why so many people are frustrated with conventional healthcare — and what functional medicine does differently. From chronic fatigue and hormone imbalance to gut issues, inflammation, and “normal” lab results that don’t feel normal at all, we unpack why quick fixes often fail — and what it looks like to actually get to the root cause. If you’ve ever been told “everything looks fine” while still feeling awful… this one’s for you. Connect with Amber on IG @amberwarren.pa and follow the Functional Medicine Institute Podcast on all podcast platforms.

    #24: Stay In Your Lane — Why Context Matters More Than Your Hot Take

    We’re digging into the rise of virtue signaling, performative outrage, and why so many online opinions fall apart once context enters the conversation. We talk about how blending personal politics with business often backfires, and how surface-level activism has replaced actual understanding. We also get into federal law enforcement, ICE, and the realities of immigration enforcement that rarely make it past headlines and hashtags. Along the way, we break down media bias, the modern propaganda cycle, public misinformation, and the risks of forming loud opinions without full context. It’s optics vs substance — and why informed conversations matter more than viral hot takes. 03:05 Virtue Signaling and Performative Activism 05:53 Media and Public Perception 11:42 Law Enforcement and Public Reactions 16:00 Freedom of Speech and Consequences 21:30 The Reality of ICE Arrests 22:24 Hypocrisy in Defending Criminals 24:49 Protests and Hidden Agendas 30:07 Sanctuary Cities and Illegal Immigration 36:17 The Importance of Law Enforcement Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, & TikTok @dontevenbotherpod, email us at dontevenbotherpodcast@gmail.com, & share with your cool friends :)

    #23: Adult Friendships: Quality Over Chaos

    We get real about the chaos of maintaining relationships in a world that never shuts up. We dive into why a tiny, loyal inner circle beats a massive social network any day, and why most “friends” online wouldn’t survive five minutes in real life. We unpack the pressure to be everything to everyone, how social media turns every opinion into a public trial, and why so many people feel drained by constant connection. We also question how extroverts juggle huge friend groups without spontaneously combusting, and what it actually looks like to stay authentic when everyone’s watching. 03:33 The Importance of a Core Group of Friends 12:56 Navigating Social Media and Opinions 21:51 The Noise of Modern Life 27:48 Navigating the Exhaustion of Rabbit Holes 28:55 The Charlie Kirk Conundrum 34:53 Social Media Overload 37:09 The Value of Core Relationships 43:04 Balancing Authenticity and Social Expectations Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, & TikTok @dontevenbotherpod, email us at dontevenbotherpodcast@gmail.com, & share with your cool friends :)

    #21: Unpacking the Whiteness Narrative

    What does the “whiteness narrative” actually mean — and who benefits from how it’s being framed? Carmen is back with us to unpack how conversations around whiteness, power, identity, and guilt have evolved in modern culture — and where nuance is often lost in the process. We explore how broad narratives shape personal identity, social dynamics, media messaging, and public discourse, and ask whether these frameworks encourage understanding — or shut down meaningful conversation altogether. It’s a thoughtful discussion about language, culture, accountability, and the consequences of flattening complex human experiences into rigid narratives. If you’ve ever felt confused, hesitant, or pressured to agree without questioning — we invite you to think deeper. 01:31 Social Media Influence and Manufactured Hate 03:36 Merit-Based Systems vs. Diversity 07:06 Racism and Historical Context 10:27 Cultural Appreciation and Division 18:00 Immigration and Border Control 23:37 Illegal Immigration and Crime 24:22 Human Trafficking and Open Borders 27:54 COVID-19 and Social Experimentation 31:30 Media Influence and Public Perception 39:09 Personal Responsibility and Meritocracy Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, & TikTok @dontevenbotherpod, email us at dontevenbotherpodcast@gmail.com, & share with your cool friends :)

    #20: World of Government Affairs Explained — Lobbying, Policy, & Power with Travis Jones

    What does government affairs actually look like beyond the headlines and hot takes? We're joined by Travis Jones, a government affairs consultant, to break down how lobbying, policy work, and political decision-making really function behind the scenes. Travis shares how a love of history landed him in Washington, D.C., the moments that made him realize “this place is wild,” and why he ultimately traded Beltway chaos for life in Idaho. We talk integrity in lobbying, how policy decisions actually impact industries like agriculture, healthcare, renewable energy, and private property rights — and why nuance matters more than partisan noise. Along the way, Travis drops candid stories, sharp insights, and perspectives you won’t hear in surface-level political commentary. Fun, informative, and refreshingly unfiltered. 00:00 What Government Affairs Actually Is 03:45  How Travis Got Into Politics and Policy 08:30  Life Inside Washington, D.C. 13:55  What Lobbying Really Looks Like Day to Day 19:40  Integrity, Ethics, and Misconceptions About Lobbying 25:10  How Policy Impacts Real Industries 30:45  Agriculture, Healthcare, and Energy Policy 37:20  Private Property Rights and Regulation 44:05  Media Narratives vs Reality in Politics 50:10  Why Travis Left D.C. for Idaho 56:30  Advice for Anyone Interested in Government Affairs 01:05:20 Final Thoughts on Power, Policy, and Perspective Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, & TikTok @dontevenbotherpod, email us at dontevenbotherpodcast@gmail.com, & share with your cool friends :)

    #19: Faith, Culture, and the Price of Tolerance

    Time to dive into a raw and personal journey of faith — from a New Age childhood to embracing Catholicism as an adult. We talk about spiritual warfare, the reality of holding onto faith in a chaotic world, and what it feels like to watch cultural values shift faster than we can keep up. We get into the societal obsession of being “tolerant” of everything (ps: it’s gone too far!), the attacks on Christians, and the growing discomfort many people feel as Western culture changes around them. We also unpack the rise of competing belief systems, the erosion of traditional values, and why standing firm in your faith and everything you believe in matters now more than ever. Honest, messy, and thought-provoking — in other words, absolutely in our lane. 01:02 Personal Journey to Faith 03:31 Discovering Catholicism 06:46 Profound Experiences and Conversion 10:32 Challenges and Spiritual Warfare 11:25 Societal Issues and Faith 28:27 Freedom of Speech and Consequences 30:25 Concerns About Cultural Integration 31:09 Islam and American Values 33:55 Tolerance and Its Limits 35:10 Standing Up for Beliefs 41:13 Faith and Spirituality Follow us on Instagram, YouTube, & TikTok @dontevenbotherpod, email us at dontevenbotherpodcast@gmail.com, & share with your cool friends :)
