  • Treasure, Rigged Maps & Why Finland Is Laughing at Us
    Dec 2 2025

    In this episode of Jamie & Chris: Don’t Be an Idiot, we dig into real treasure and real stupidity. A homeowner in France was digging a swimming pool and accidentally unearthed $800,000 worth of gold bars and coins. Yes, real buried treasure. Yes, he gets to keep all of it.

    From treasure hunting to political map-rigging, the guys break down:
    The wild story of the French $800k pool-digging jackpot
    How redistricting (gerrymandering) screws voters in multiple states
    Which states are the worst offenders
    The happiest and least happy countries in the world
    Why Finland wins every damn year
    And of course… plenty of jokes, roasting, and “Don’t Be an Idiot” moments

    If you’re into buried treasure, politics that makes no sense, or learning why Icelanders dance through life while Americans rage-commute… This episode is for you.

    Sit back, relax, and be glad you didn’t bury gold in your backyard and forget about it.

  • When Congress Accidentally Exposes Itself… With the Wrong Epstein
    Nov 26 2025

    In this episode of Jamie & Chris: Don’t Be an Idiot, we dive into one of the most hilariously avoidable political disasters of the year. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett took to the House floor aiming to drop a bombshell… but instead dropped the ball by calling out the wrong Jeffrey Epstein. Yes she accused Republicans using a totally different guy with the same name.

    Jamie and Chris break down:
    🔥 The viral Crockett “Wrong Epstein” moment
    📊 The actual Epstein political donation data (and who really took the checks)
    🤦 Why fact-checking is apparently optional in Congress
    🤠 A hilarious list of “You Know You’re From Texas When…”
    💬 Political stupidity, Texas culture, and big-time face-plants

    If you love comedy, current events, and watching people in power trip over their own talking points, this episode is for you.

    Grab a drink, settle in, and Don’t Be an Idiot.

In this episode, Jamie dishes on the adrenaline-fueled chaos of racing at Road America in Wisconsin—think high-speed turns, near-misses, and why track days beat therapy. Chris drops a bombshell: he's ditching his Costco membership for good, breaking down the warehouse wars (Costco in 47 states, Sam's Club in 44, BJ's lagging at 17— who's winning your cart?). We geek out on the future of clean energy with Helium-3, the miracle gas that could power nuclear reactors without the toxic waste nightmare, revolutionizing everything from space travel to everyday power grids. Plus, a list of the 10 states with the absolute worst drivers (spoiler: buckle up if you're road-tripping). And wrapping it up, "You Know You're from Florida When..." Whether you're a speed demon, a bulk-buying skeptic, or just trying not to be an idiot on the road, this one's got the laughs, facts, and facepalms you need. Subscribe, share, and don't forget: life's too short for bad decisions!
