The Antichrist, AI & a Secret Meeting?!

This week on De-Influenced, Dani and Jordan are going down a few rabbit holes you won't see coming. Jordan shares why he backed out of Peter Thiel's secret Antichrist lecture after discovering where it was being held (hint: the Freemasons are involved 👀). They get into AI, spiritual warfare, and some pretty wild theories about where technology could be taking us. Then, Dani breaks down the disturbing Cornell fraternity allegations, shares what she witnessed during her own college Greek life days, and discusses the conversations they'll be having with their kids as they get older.

Maybe We Shouldn’t Have Said That…
This week, Dani and Jordan are questioning whether being too unfiltered on the podcast is finally catching up with them. Jordan issues an apology after his Alix Earle/Braxton Berrios “source” turns out to be… not so reliable, and they get into the weird reality of sharing honest opinions when the people you’re talking about might actually hear them. Plus, Dani recaps the Chiefs game with Brittany Mahomes, meeting Lainey Wilson, and the constant mom struggle of deciding what to say yes to. Then Jordan takes SIX personality tests, feeds the results to AI, and discovers the “primal loop”…

The Reality of “Having It All”
Can you really have it all — the career, the family, the marriage, the dreams…all at the same time? This week, Dani and Jordan are diving into the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, from Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing chaos to Jen and Zac’s struggle to balance marriage, family, and big career ambitions. But the conversation quickly hits close to home. Dani and Jordan reflect on a season in their own marriage when Dani was considering reality TV and they didn’t always see eye-to-eye on what pursuing the next big opportunity could mean for their family. They get candid about…

Have Influencers Gone Too Far?
We have A LOT to unpack this week. Dani is officially hooked on Alix Earle’s new reality show — and somehow Jordan is too — which leads us straight into the Braxton Berrios breakup, why Dani thinks Alix may have chosen her career over the relationship, and a little piece of information Jordan has apparently been sitting on: Braxton had a ring?! We also get into the Alix Earle vs. Alex Cooper drama and whether Alix Earle was actually taken advantage of by the Unwell Network or simply outgrew the deal she signed. Plus, Dani takes Jordan down the absolutely WILD rabbit hole of former Bachelor…

AI, Antidepressants & Grandma Hobbies
This week, Dani and Jordan are catching up on everything from Dani finally getting back into working out six months postpartum to a very real conversation about SSRIs, anxiety, and what happens when you try to come off medication too quickly. Then we get into the internet rabbit holes: the man who allegedly spent years pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player and scammed 26 women out of more than $1 million, AI agents that are starting to sound a little too much like the plot of a sci-fi movie, and why everyone suddenly seems to be trading screen time for sourdough, sewing, and…

Would You Pay $6,500 to Get Your Baby to Sleep?
Would you pay $6,500 to get your baby to sleep? Because apparently… that’s an option. 😂 This week, Dani and Jordan debate whether they’re desperate enough to hire a three-day baby sleep trainer — and somehow that turns into a much bigger conversation about all the things parents are told they need to be doing for their kids. Plus, Jordan officially becomes THAT dad at 4-year-old soccer, Dani survives her first workout back, and a missing credit card sparks a marriage argument. Then they get into the internet debate around Forrest Frank’s viral shirtless photo and whether there’s a double…

We Need to Stop Putting People on Pedestals
This week on De-Influenced, we are officially in our back-to-school era… and apparently that means approximately 400 drop-offs, pick-ups, soccer practices and things to remember every single day. 😂 We're talking about the chaos of getting the kids into a routine, whether we need to seriously re-divide the mental load in our marriage, and why Dani is apparently preparing for the collapse of the financial system by selling her clothes on Instagram. Normal stuff!! Then Jordan takes us down one of his latest history rabbit holes and somehow we end up having a conversation we've never really had…

Jordan Was Spiraling, Dani Gets Called Out & Are Blue Zones a Scam?!
Things got a little TOO honest this week. 😂 Jordan admits he was fully spiraling after a chaotic few weeks of traveling, sick kids and approximately zero alone time—and Dani shares the surprisingly simple thing that apparently fixed everything overnight. Marriage with four kids, people!!! Then we get into the internet's obsession with judging parents, Dani responds to getting called "out of touch" over her minivan comments, and we ask: can anyone take a joke anymore?! Plus, we're diving into the controversy around homeschooling, the wild claims that some of what we know about Blue Zones and…

Things We’ll ALWAYS Splurge On, Influencer Burnout & The Case We Can’t Stop Thinking About
Happy Thursday, De-Influencers!! We are ALL over the place today 😂 We’re starting with a little life update from Nashville before getting into the things we think are actually worth splurging on… and apparently Dani and Jordan have VERY different definitions of a “splurge.” We’re also settling the debate on tipping culture because WHY does every screen ask for 30% now?! Then things take a deeper turn. Jordan found a study on creator mental health that led us into a really honest conversation about Dani’s 15 years on the internet, burnout, tying your worth to numbers and what success looks…

We Took Our Shoes Off… And Lost Control
Our Costa Rica trip was honestly one of our favorite family vacations EVER…and then the trip home happened. 😂 This week we're recapping everything—from our flight getting canceled, getting stranded in Charlotte with four kids, and somehow still managing to laugh through all of it. We also ended up having a surprisingly real conversation about control, why Jordan finally took his shoes off (it's deeper than it sounds 😂), and what moving to Nashville has been teaching us about letting go. Plus we're sharing fun facts about Costa Rica, why we'd absolutely go back, and a few unexpected lessons…
