Football Scripting, Star Wars, and a Special Recipe - Episode 59

Thu, 14 Sep 2023 03:00:00 -0500

Have you ever noticed how unlikely a Football season ends up, compared to its pre-season projection? Is there a master plan for sports? It sure looks like it might be.

If you don't want to watch football, then what do you watch? The answer is Star Wars. But you probably aren't watching Star Wars like you should be.....

Whether you're watching Star Wars or Football, you need amazing food. And you CANNOT go wrong with a "foil pack" meal. The recipe is towards the end of the episode.

Sic Semper Tyrannus - Episode 58

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0500

What? We're talking about COVID-19 again? Well, when the government starts talking about mask mandates, a new jab, lockdowns, and alllllll of the same unconstitutional bullshit from 2020, I guess we need to talk about it.

But WHY do we NEED to talk about it? Because WE THE PEOPLE must stand up. WE THE PEOPLE must reject and resist the unconstitutional and immoral government overreach into our lives and livelihoods.

Join with us and think critically, ask questions, understand that the mass media is the mouthpiece of the radical left, and take responsibility for your own paradigm.

Republican vs Democrat Puppies - Episode 57

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 18:00:00 -0500

Cognitive dissonance. WTF is that? It's the inability to accept new information, regardless of its supporting evidence, simply because it differs from your current dogma.

Let's apply that to "gun control". How can we stop drunk driving deaths? Well, clearly, we can ban all sober people from driving cars. That way, no sober people can be killed by drunk drivers. That's EXACTLY how "gun control" works. Don't agree? Let's talk about it. HOW is that not an accurate comparison? What data can you cite and what evidence can you present? Want to come on the show and discuss it? Let us know.....we'll have ya on the show.

In pivotal issues to our society, we MUST take emotion out of the conversation. Emotions are EASY to manipulate. Logic and rational thought is not.

Also in this episode, we discuss something specific to Tennessee politics as Governor Bill Lee has called for an illegal closed special session of the legislature specifically in an attempt to enact Red Flag Laws -- yet the conversation of Red Flag Laws is NOT, in any way, a state- or city-specific issue.

Guns are "scary", right? Our children are in danger of being killed by guns in droves.......right? Welllllll, that's not what data tells us. In fact, one of the most dangerous places a child can be, is in the womb.

What the fuck?!

Let's talk about that......

Boys Have a Penis, Girls Have a Vagina - Episode 55

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 07:00:00 -0500

Gender. What the fuck is it? Biological fact? Something you can "choose"? Does your "gender" differ from your "sex"? How does it affect your reality? Is it a mental health issue? How does it impact our society? We're trying to figure this shit out, together -- with you!

Being Functional in a Dysfunctional World - Episode 54

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 04:00:00 -0500

We're trying to make logical sense of what the fuck our world is turning in to. They scream gun control , to "save" our children, but not when it pertains to saving the life of an unborn child. They say gun control to stop violent crime, but the cities that have the most strict gun laws have the highest violent crime rates.

They say hate "this" person or "that" person based on their race or belief or creed or sexual orientation.

They encourage us to hate our fellow human just because we think differently.

We NEED to have an ACTUAL common sense discussion regarding violent crime, and where it comes from.

Opinions, Cruelty, & The Paradox of Tolerance - Episode 53

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 06:00:00 -0500

Everyone has the right to their opinion, and they're all equal....right? What if someone's opinion allows them to harm another person? Should such an opinion be tolerated? You probably IMMEDIATELY thought, "hell no!". What if I told you that we have been and are being conditioned to tolerate such opinions in society.

But how? Why? To what end? That -- and more -- what we discuss in this episode

Gnostic Cosmology & Alternative Thought with The Juan - Episode 52

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Multiple dimensions of existence, King Solomon's magic, Divine Feminine, the Law of Attraction and ooooohhh so many more topics were purposefully left out of what we now call the Christian Bible. But why?

The study of such extra-canonical works is called Gnosticism. The Gnostics and the excluded "false" teachings they studied were deemed heretics by the early Christian church. But why? What harm can asking a few questions be? Sound familiar?

Take the first step off the ledge into the deep dive that is Gnostic Cosmology with Jeffrey and first time guest, The Juan from "The Juan on Juan Podcast". Such a great conversation....and the first of many!

Equality vs Equity...With All Things Being Equal - Episode 51

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Equality. Equity. What do these words mean in a social context? That's a question we need to be able to answer considering how hotly they're being thrown around our society, don't ya think? Are we massively oversimplifying the conversation? Is it really a "black and white" issue or is it full of many subtle shades of gray? These are the questions we begin discussing in this episode.

What do you think about the issue? How would you answer some of these questions? We'd love to hear your thoughts and maybe even have ya on the podcast.

Emotional Triggers, Personality Types, & The Lost Art of Conflict Resolution - Episode 50

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 09:00:00 -0500

Everyone has triggers. Everyone has a definitive personality type. Almost no one seems to be able to resolve conflicts in a healthy way. In this episode we work through an actual real life conflict in almost real time.

It's amazing how interconnected your personality type and emotional triggers are when it comes to the way you approach and, hopefully, resolve conflict....which is a lost art (or is it a skill?) in today's society.

What's your personality type? What are some of your emotional triggers? Have you ever actually explored those things about yourself?

Double, Double Toil & Trouble: Stirring the Double Standard Pot - Episode 49

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Have you ever noticed how many double standards abound in our society? In this episode we discuss how (or is it why?) they exist, how they endure, and even dissect a few including abortion, discrimination, and gender identification, and medical mandates.

We also discuss a surprisingly little-known fact about the brain that may actually account (or at least play a role) in such a cultural phenomenon. So pack. your bags and let's go on a journey. Won't you be my neighbor?

An Eye-Opening Glimpse Into Being Homeless Through a Convo With a Person Without a Home - Episode 46

Fri, 02 Apr 2021 07:00:00 -0500

Have you ever had a conversation with a "homeless person"? Yeah, me neither....until now. Eye-opening is an understatement. If you don't have a reality check, a few laughs, and probably tear up a time or two from this episode, then you probably don't have a soul to begin with.

Check out this episode with Eric Hunt from the Eric & Gord: What If We're Right podcast as he goes describes how he ended up homeless, what it was like being homeless, and how he -- just recently -- was able to move on from life on the streets.

Prejudice, Gun Control, & Vaccine Passports - Episode 45

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 17:00:00 -0500

Equality in culture and practice, the 2nd Amendment, "mass" shootings, vaccine passport restrictions, and transgender sports are just a few of the topics we discuss in this episode. But ya know what? We don't talk about these polarizing topics from the perspective of being "right". We want to hear what YOU think. We welcome continued conversation whether you share the same opinions or not.

So send us an email FunctionallyDysfunctionalShow@gmail.com and hell, maybe we'll have ya on the podcast to have a good conversation.

**And for the record, Jeffrey did misspeak in saying that "800 million people in the United States own guns". He had a mind melt that fused about three different thoughts into one sentence. The actual number is almost 400 million estimated firearms in the possession of civilians**

Ways to IMMEDIATELY Reduce Stress, Fight Anxiety, and Boost Your Immune System That You've Never Heard Of - Episode 44

Thu, 11 Mar 2021 10:00:00 -0600

What if there was a certain music that you could listen to that had scientifically proven health benefits that include: reduced stress and anxiety, increased immune system function, nervous system health, and hormone balancing.

Sounds too good to be true doesn't it?

Well study after study after study shows that such a music actually exists. And it's not a style of music, but rather a frequency of music. Music tuned to 528 Hz frequency (rather than the normal 440 Hz) has all of the aforementioned affects, plus many more.

Sounds like bullshit doesn't it? Yeah, I thought so too when I first heard it.

Fortunately, I took the time to do some homework and see if there was any scientific study to such claims. And come to find out, there are MOUNTAINS of it.

But 528 Hz sound waves aren't the only thing your doctor isn't telling you about. There is also EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) that is an even newer modality that is showing impressive results for anxiety, PTSD, and other conditions in studies thus far.

The "Equalizer" of Double Standards - Episode 43

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 18:00:00 -0600

Do you watch the new show that stars Queen Latifah, called "The Equalizer"? It's a TV series take on the Denzel Washington movies, that are a take on a book series by Michael Sloan.

In this episode we break down a first impression of the show, as a whole, but also get into the social innuendo of the show. In Episode 4 of the the first season of The Equalizer, Queen Latifah accosts a man in the shower of a men's locker room at a gym, and apparently that's ok.

What if a man in the show had of walked into a woman's locker room and accosted her in the shower?

This is only one of the MANY social double standards that we discuss in this episode.

Cancel Culture: This is NOT The Way - Episode 42

Fri, 12 Feb 2021 13:00:00 -0600

We stand at the edge of a precipice. Hate has NOT been eradicated in our society, it has been embraced, encouraged, and rebranded. If you have an opinion that differs from the iron triangle that is made up of politicians, media, and big business, you are at risk of being cursed, discriminated, denied civil rights, refused healthcare, lose your job, and all around be "canceled".

Not only is this being seen as socially acceptable at an alarming rate, it's being encouraged by the mainstream media.

The thing about propaganda is that you must dehumanize an enemy before you can hate them. And you must hate them, before you can go to war with them. The American people have been set against each other.

And it wasn't the Nazi's that beat Jews in the streets of Germany, it was their neighbors that had been convinced by the Nazi party that the Jews were the enemy.

We dive DEEP into this frightening behavior of "cancel culture" in this episode, beginning with The Mandalorian's Gina Carano.

How the Subtly Subliminal Shapes Our Psyche - Episode 41

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 13:00:00 -0600

The news media gets a lot of attention for being biased and slanted, but what about movies and TV shows? Wouldn't it be easier to program your thinking and or influence your thought process through characters that you're invested in? Does it catch your attention when TV shows or movies reinforce and/or push political or social ideas?

Opinions Are Like Assholes. Everyone Has Them, & Most of Them Stink - Episode 40

Sun, 27 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0500

Join us as we journey down the rabbit hole of opinions, and the slippery slope of subconsciously believing that your opinions are the absolute truth, or even just a fact -- rather than just your opinion.

And what happens when you use your opinions as a measuring stick to judge the "goodness" of other people? Hmmm.....

In this episode Jeffrey and Heather discuss the polarizing opinions of cursing, Breonna Taylor's death, religious beliefs, gun control, the 2020 election, Trump, Biden, and more.

Emotional Abuse, Self Defense, & Helen Keller - Episode 39

Fri, 18 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0500

Are you a different person depending on who you're around? Does someone make you feel like your opinion doesn't matter?

In this episode, Jeffrey & Mills open up about their own baggage and abuse in a way that is rarely experienced. Why? Because they they KNOW that a fuck ton of folks are experiencing the same things, but feel alone and trapped.

You are NOT alone. This shit happens WAY more than anyone wants to admit. But we need to talk about it. You are not alone. You. Are. Not. Alone.

Thu, 27 Aug 2020 03:00:00 -0500

Even Smart People Have Biases - Episode 35

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 03:00:00 -0500

We the people....wait, we the who? What is the best type of government? Is there one? Does the almighty dollar rule everything? Are politicians truly elected or are they purchased?

Everyone has a perspective and opinion, and -- gasp -- a bias. Does that make one group of people inherently "right" or "wrong".

Fear & Censorship - Episode 34

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 07:00:00 -0500

Can we really know the truth of the world we live in? Is fear inherently a bad thing? Is our healthy fear exploited by people in power to manipulate us and hide truth? Do we allow ourselves to be censored by government? Can we really ever know the truth that is suppressed and censored from us?

BLM, Ancient Aliens, & a First Responder Walk Into a Bar... - Episode 32

Fri, 12 Jun 2020 02:00:00 -0500

Why has the world been burning and people been fighting with each other since the beginning of recorded history? Why are we fighting the same battles that we fought thousands of years ago?

Should we trust in Jared Padalecki and Jenson Ackles? What about Erich von Däniken or Giorgio Tsoukalos? What about politicians and philanthropists? Who should we trust in?

How can we change the fabric of our society and our world for the better? Why do we keep making the same fucking mistakes over and over and over again? Why do we war against our fellow human beings?

Join our host, Jeffrey Davis, as he talks with a free thinking, first responder, juxtaposition of a Christian as we dive into such questions that somehow actually pull on a common thread.

Ebony & Ivory Discuss Racism In Harmony - Episode 31

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 02:00:00 -0500

A white guy and a black guy talk about some touchy and confusing shit such as black lives matter, all lives matter, color blindness, white privilege, prejudice, police brutality, and oh so much more.

How the hell did we get here? What is the Black Lives Matter movement? Is "All Lives Matter" racist? What does it all actually mean? What's the history of oppression in the United States?

How can we begin to solve prejudice and move beyond what makes us different, and move towards justice for the oppressed, and equality for all humans?

George Floyd: WTF?! vs Racism vs Humanity - Episode 30

Fri, 29 May 2020 02:00:00 -0500

How the hell can a police officer murder a man restrained in cuffs? This is an absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable act of inhumanity. But is race the issue? Why is racism a thing? Can we really not get beyond race? Are we not all the same human species? How can one HUMAN treat another HUMAN like this?

How can a human kill another human just because they look differently? How can a human view another human of lesser value because of their ethnicity?

Is there a double standard of racism in our world today? Is it racist to feel like "all lives matter"? Does "black lives matter" perpetuate racism?

How do we move beyond viewing ourselves as "separate" to unite as a species? What if there are people in power behind governments that don't want us to unite as a human race?

Thu, 21 May 2020 02:00:00 -0500

You're a bad person if you don't wear a mask. You're a dumb ass if you do. Which is it? Do they actually help anything? Should masks be mandatory? Are we putting the cart before the horse and becoming the frog in the pot of water where the heat is being slowly turned up on us?

What if minor issues like masks are being put in the limelight to keep people from thinking about the bigger picture......like the way we're being manipulated and controlled as an entire global society?

What is the end game of the COVID19 narrative? Should you trust what "THEY" tell you? Do people in power really have the best interest of the average joe in mind?

Thu, 14 May 2020 02:00:00 -0500

Are we alone in the universe? Are we alone on our planet? What if life existed beyond this little blue-green rock? What if that alien intelligence has been shaping our society and species and existence since our beginning?

What if every religious text in existence actually describes alien interaction, abductions, and guidance in ancient times? What if the governments of the modern world know the truth and keep it from the public? If so, why?

"What If...?": The Dangerous Questions We Let Rule Our Lives - Episode 25

Thu, 23 Apr 2020 15:00:00 -0500

What if I don't follow the rules? What if I had of left five minutes early and been involved in that car crash? What if I can't find a job after leaving the job that's killing me? What if I die in a plane crash? What if I don't believe in a god? What if, what if, what if???

It's a subconscious question that we ask ourselves more than anything else every day. But what is the base of this question? It's the same thing that government, religions, and establishments of all kinds are based on......FEAR.

Fear is a powerful motivator. Perhaps the most powerful of all.

But does that mean that the question of "What if?" is inherently bad? Join us as we discuss it.

Thu, 26 Mar 2020 06:00:00 -0500

Quarantines, small business closers, panic buying, and over-crowded hospitals.....but why?

COVID 19: Bullsh*t, Legit, or Somewhere Betwixt? - Episode 23

Thu, 19 Mar 2020 14:00:00 -0500

Buckle up campers. In this episode we have spirited discussion about how big of a threat the COVID-19 virus actually is to our society. Is it a media frenzy? Is it a legit pandemic? Is it a measure of social control? Is it simply the evolutionary process at work? Or is it somewhere in the middle of that shit storm?

Whereas we normally have just two folks on mic, this week we have three. And by complete happenstance, we all found ourselves split between the different perspectives of this global Coronavirus situation. And though we have some passionate disagreements in this episode, no punches were thrown or feelings hurt, or animals harmed in its making.

As always, we want to hear what YOU think on the topic as well.

Honest Questions From an Open-Minded Christian - Episode 16

Thu, 30 Jan 2020 02:00:00 -0600

Just because someone is a person of faith, doesn't mean they couldn't or shouldn't ask questions. And if you're gonna ask questions, why not ask really good and difficult to tackle questions? Everyone -- faith or no faith -- asks those questions in the secret places of their soul, but few are brave enough to ask them to the world....let alone discuss them on a podcast.

And that is exactly what my guest for this episode, Billy Bohem, is doing. He's a person of faith that is asking real and difficult questions that everyone in every church is asking themselves, whether they would admit it or not. In this episode, listen to him share some of those questions and thoughts, and then let us know what some of YOUR questions are.
