Politics Isn’t For The People!! The political middle is held hostage to the parties!! The Late Great Comedian George Carlin was a truth teller when it came to politics. Do politically unaffiliated voters have a home in politics? The 2 parties decide who we get to vote for and we get 2 choices. Does the political middle vote FOR someone or AGAINST someone? Where do we fit in? We ask if politicians even care about the country and the citizens. In the last few years, there have been a few stories following the money of politicians and their families and unsurprisingly, there seems to be some fishy things going on there. We just have an open conversation with ourselves about if our leaders are really doing what’s best for us or for their bank accounts.

Nicki Minaj Talks About Balls!?! Nicki Minaj talks about side effects from Covid Vaccine and people go nuts!! Recently Nicki Minaj tweeted about a possible side effect from the Covid MRNA Vaccines and the internet and major "news" networks went insane. We talk about why anything other than positive comments about the vaccines is shouted down. Why aren't side effects being talked about. Rather than allowing further study for vaccines that were rushed through, the establishment seems content to shame people for asking any type of question in regards to the vaccines. As a side note, I mistakenly said that Nicki Minaj interviewed Joe Biden before the election. Cardi B was the entertainer who interviewed President Biden before the election. I apologize for confusing the 2. I'm a 40 something male so pop culture isn't in my wheelhouse, but I should have done better research before the show. I apologize to both ladies for the error.

We're both raising fairly young kids right now. But as they're getting to the ages where they're going to be interested in social media, how do we steer them away from it? Or are we creating forbidden fruit by not having them on it? The studies out there show how toxic social media is. From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram. It's the "Look at Me" society and what prevails from it. It's already shown in studies that "likes" and "pokes" and compliments give the user a "hit" of dopamine in the brain and makes them feel good. And it can be extremely addicting. Adults have a hard time dealing with this, let alone our young kids. How are you raising your kids in this age of social media.

Lack of bus drivers led to a shortage of rides for kids to get to school. Our school district didn't let anyone know what happened until a couple of hours after school started. And then they didn't have a way to get the kids home. Bus driver shortages are happening all across the country and leading to a pretty serious issue for parents who work and depend on the school bus system to get the kids to and from school. We talk about what led to the bus driver shortage and how it may not be a simple answer. Is it because the Federal government was giving additional unemployment bonuses? Have the unemployed just not felt it in their pockets now that the supplements stopped in September? Or did the bus drivers with their specialty drivers licenses just not wait for the bus companies to call them back and they found other jobs that pay better? Or did a lot of them simply retire and move south? Please subscribe and rate this podcast on your podcast platforms like Apple and Google as it helps us a ton.

Apple recently announced they were enabling a feature that allows Apple to scan user photos on iCloud and personal devices. The stated use according to Apple is to scan for compromising photos of children to catch bad adults. But how effective will it be and is it worth the loss of what little privacy we have left from Big Tech? I also talk about the cpu shortage for cars and how that will continue to affect the car shortage and high prices. Since we were talking about privacy as it pertains to Apple, I talk about how cars are vulnerable now that cpu’s run the entire car now. It’s already been proven that a car is hackable. So why do we keep putting computer chips in cars??? And then to top it off, I get into a fun hobby of mine with Fantasy Football. Tom Brady vs Aaron Rodgers, Ronald Jones vs Leonard Fournette, Davante Adams vs D’Andre Hopkins… and my take on the Baltimore Ravens for the season!!

Afghanistan Withdrawal!! We talk about withdrawing from Afghanistan 20 years after we went. Was it the right time to withdraw? For some of us, we’ve been in the middle east throughout our adult lives. Did we follow in the same trap as the Russians? Was President Biden in a “no-win” situation and forced to hurry out?

Customer service is hard for companies to get right. Is the art of treating customers right a dead idea?? We talk about our experiences dealing with customer service. Are companies getting it right or just completely paying companies to give them advice that's completely wrong. What's been your experience with customer service at big and small companies? Are they getting it right? Some customers will never be satisfied and they're horrible people. Companies are staffed by people and people make mistakes. All a company can do is apologize for that and maybe offer a small token of their sincerity and both parties agree they're happy. But some companies have customer service ingrained into their training and it shows in how their employees treat customers and that in-turn, keeps customers coming back. It can be the one thing that determines whether your company is successful or fails. Please subscribe and rate this podcast on your podcast platforms like Apple and Google as it helps us a ton.

Every homeowner goes through debate of saving money and completing projects on their own or paying for the professionals to come and complete the job quickly but at the cost of a few extra dollars. Are you the type to try and save a few bucks or do you not want the hassle. With Youtube providing all the DIY videos you need, people can learn to do almost anything, but it's never as pretty or as easy as the videos show. When is it time to just break down and pay the money for a professional to come and handle things. Things as hard as re-wiring a bedroom to swapping out a car battery can be found online. But at what point is paying some extra money to a professional worth the time and aggravation of not doing something yourself? Do you apply the same logic to your car repairs? Is that more of a DIY situation than your home? Please subscribe and rate this podcast on your podcast platforms like Apple and Google as it helps us a ton.

What Makes Marriages work? We discuss whether more couples should discuss fundamental differences between them before getting married or just hope they won't matter down the road. Are couples discussing differences of religion, politics or toothpaste habits before they get married? Is it important to do so? Would less marriages end in divorce if these types of discussions happened? We obviously aren't debating whether these types of topics are the sole root of divorce, but just that it might play a factor in it. We both have marriages where we had/have differences at that core level and we discuss what we did before marriage and after. We hope you enjoy the show!

The Dumb Idea Podcast Episode 9 All you wanted was an expert opinion on that new item you were looking to buy and you got a 1 hour infomercial on one brand. Is anyone capable anymore of giving unbiased advice in the consumer world? Youtube videos are usually sponsored or have affiliate links associated with the content to generate revenue for the reviewer. Even the webpages that come up in your Google search results are usually niche marketing blog sites that get commissions off their "top 10" lists with Number 1 on the list offering the writer the highest commissions. Or how about unbiased car advice? When you give someone a specific set of criteria you're looking for about an upcoming purchase and they try and steer you toward what they want vs what you need or specified. Is it even possible to get "expert" advice anymore without someone trying to "sell" you something else? We talk more about that today. Please like, comment, subscribe and share this podcast/video.

With New York City announcing the need to show proof of Covid vaccination to attend a Broadway show or attend indoor dining, is this just the start of Covid passports? We talk about whether this is something that could be temporary or if this type of “proof of health for service” is just the beginning of something far bigger and possibly more serious. Are civil liberties being taken away with this? If this gets approval, what could be the next thing needed to show proof in order to gain entry or participation? Is this legalizing discrimination? And is the party of “my body, my choice” saying that’s only valid for certain circumstances? Is the other party over-reacting?

Mask Mandates in Schools for Fall 2021!!??

And with the delta Covid variant making the rounds, some school districts are mandating mask on children of all ages inside the school.

Brain Control Beats Mind Control Any Day Of The Week!! We talk about how the main stream media is framing stories to get the most clicks and views but not interested in providing actual news. More clicks and views equals higher ad revenue which is how these media outlets survive. We discuss the dilemma these companies face masquerading as news outlets when they're only focused on revenue. The actual news doesn't produce ad revenue which is why they can't simply report the news. We discuss how the documentary "The Social Dilemma" explains how social media and "news" outlets don't have any incentive to provide you truth vs what you want to see and how this also impacts you as more and more news outlets move behind paywalls. This further disincentivizes them to produce actual news vs what they're paying subscribers want to see. Please like, comment, subscribe and share this podcast/video.

The Dumb Idea Podcast Episode 7 We talk about the phenomenon that was TGIF and “Must See TV” television programming in the 90’s and early 2000’s. These were viewing events that people would talk about at work the next day. Why isn’t this something that can be reproduced today? Can it be chalked up to the prevalence of the DVR or is it more in depth like lazy writing or in your face messaging that people just aren’t tuning in for anymore. A shocking number of hit shows which still have cult followings today were introduced during this time. Are streaming services killing off “event” type tv where you tune in at the same time every week? Have the streaming services just purchased the better shows leaving network TV with scraps to air during prime time? Could it be a combination of a lot of things? Listen in as we discuss all of the possibilities and if there’s even a glimmer of hope of “event” type tv programming returning. Please like, comment, subscribe and share this podcast/video.

The Dumb Idea Podcast Episode 6 Goodbye Nissan! Thanks For The Memories We talk about our experiences with Nissan products throughout the years and how we loved the brand early when we were younger. But over the last 15 years the brand has seen a sharp decline in sales and it could see itself as an odd company out with other brands filling the void. The quality of the product has gone way downhill and soured people's vision of the brand. Their half attempts at reviving the brand doesn't seem to be working either and they're having to sell the cars at a steep discount. We tackle all of this in today's episode.

The Dumb Idea Podcast Show, Episode 5 Are People Really Living Their Religion?? Topics Discussed in this Episode: Are folks living their religion? Has COVID brought out the truth in people as to whether they are living by the ethos taught by their religion of choice? Or are people using the church as a glorified social gathering and the religious part is secondary? We discuss our experiences throughout the COVID pandemic as to how we’ve seen the true nature of people come out. With some people, it’s not meshing with the aura they’re trying to project as being a follower of their religion. We’ve seen some people do and say things exactly the opposite of the religious teachings of any religion. Are church leaders espousing the religion they’re preaching? Are they truly leading the flock with the religious ethos or are they profiteering? Is the social aspect of church and the fear of being “shunned” a reason why people “fake” the religious part? People may think that they could lose their entire friend community if they come to the realization they don’t want to live by the religious teachings and therefore they fake it to remain in the groups?
