About this listen

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.
