    #31: Are We Vintage… or Just Old? (90s & 2000s Nostalgia)

    Are we vintage… or just emotionally attached to the past? We're spiraling hard into nostalgia, revisiting the cartoons, movies, toys, and random childhood obsessions that shaped us in the ’90s and early 2000s. From My Little Pony figures and Strawberry Shortcake stationery to truly unhinged collectibles (including George W. Bush playing cards), nothing is off-limits. We mourn the loss of Blockbuster nights, disposable cameras, and the unmatched joy of renting movies and ordering pizza like it was a full-blown event. We also ask the real questions:  Why did fashion get harder? Why are jeans impossible now? And when did life stop feeling fun without a subscription? If you miss a time when we weren’t always online, plans were simple, and nostalgia hits a little too close to home — this episode is pure comfort listening. 00:00  Are We Vintage or Just Nostalgic? 03:20  Childhood Cartoons and Core Memories 08:45  Toys, Collectibles, and Unhinged Merch 14:30  The Era of Stationery, Stickers, and Stuff 19:40  Fashion Then vs Fashion Now (Why Are Jeans So Hard?) 26:10  Blockbuster Nights and Movie Rentals 32:55  Disposable Cameras and Pre-Internet Fun 38:20  When Plans Were Simple and Not Digital 44:10  Why Nostalgia Feels So Comforting 50:25  Missing Life Before Subscriptions 58:10  Final Thoughts: Are We Vintage?

    #30: Rationalizing Time — Calendar Conspiracies Explained

    Who decided how time works — and why do so many people question it? Today, we unpack calendar conspiracies, alternative timekeeping theories, and the history behind how modern calendars were created and standardized. We explore why the calendar feels arbitrary, where conspiracy theories around time manipulation come from, and how religion, power, history, and control all intersect with the way we measure days, months, and years. From missing time theories to why questioning systems feels uncomfortable, this conversation lives at the crossroads of curiosity, skepticism, and cultural storytelling. Not a doomsday spiral — just a thoughtful, slightly unhinged (in a fun way) discussion about why humans love questioning the systems we’re told are fixed. If you’ve ever looked at the calendar and thought, “Who decided this?” — welcome. 00:00  Why We’re Questioning Time at All 02:55  What Are Calendar Conspiracies? 06:30  Who Created the Modern Calendar 10:48  Religion, Power, and Timekeeping 15:40  Missing Time and Calendar Theories 20:05  Why Humans Distrust Fixed Systems 24:30  Conspiracy Thinking vs Curiosity 29:10  How Time Shapes Culture and Control 33:45  Why These Theories Keep Resurfacing 38:20  What Questioning Time Reveals About Us 42:10  Final Thoughts: Curiosity Over Certainty Click to Subscribe on YouTube, Follow on Instagram +  TikTok , email us at dontevenbotherpodcast@gmail.com, + share with your cool friends :)

    #27: Why Boise Is a Braggable Destination — With Andrew Heidt

    What makes a city worth visiting — and worth living in? We sat down with Andrew Heidt, Vice President of Sales at Visit Boise, to break down how tourism, conventions, and city branding help drive economic growth in Boise. Andrew explains how cities attract major events, conferences, and visitors — and why those decisions matter for local jobs, small businesses, and long-term economic development. We also dig into Boise’s “Braggable Destination” campaign, how tourism marketing works behind the scenes, and why livability is one of the biggest factors in a city’s success. From convention sales and destination branding to quality of life and rapid population growth, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how cities compete for attention — and why Boise continues to show up on national “best places to live” lists. If you’ve ever wondered how tourism actually impacts a city’s economy, what makes Boise unique, or how cities balance growth with livability, this episode offers an insider perspective on the strategy behind it all.
