Then we shift gears to cover the devastating flash floods sweeping through Texas and New Mexico and the communities affected.

    From there, we dive into some atmospheric mysteries, discussing recent aurora borealis sightings and the buzz around HAARP. As the episode winds down, we pay tribute to the late country music legend Toby Keith, reflecting on his impact and legacy. Finally, we wrap up with a practical conversation about how to grow your social media following and boost engagement in today’s fast-moving digital world.

  • Deb VS. Healthcare
    Jun 12 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with our friend Deb — yes, that Deb, one of the top 100 most loved accordion players in the world — but this isn’t a story about music. Not yet.

    Deb shares a deeply personal and, at times, painful journey: from a violent encounter with police to a serious fall that led to unexpected medical discoveries. Along the way, she talks openly about the uphill battle of navigating a healthcare system that’s stretched too thin — and how being prescribed opioids turned her from a patient into a suspect in the eyes of many doctors.

    It’s a tough conversation, but an important one — honest, raw, and full of moments that’ll make shake your head in disbelief.

    In part two, we’ll get into the joy, weirdness, and wild stories of her accordion career. But for now, this is Deb’s story of resilience — and a system that needs to do better.
