The Functionally Dysfunctional Show

We the people....wait, we the who? What is the best type of government? Is there one? Does the almighty dollar rule everything? Are politicians truly elected or are they purchased? Everyone has a perspective and opinion, and -- gasp -- a bias. Does that make one group of people inherently "right" or "wrong". Be sure to hit us up on Facebook , Instagram , Twitter , or via email...

Can we really know the truth of the world we live in? Is fear inherently a bad thing? Is our healthy fear exploited by people in power to manipulate us and hide truth? Do we allow ourselves to be censored by government? Can we really ever know the truth that is suppressed and censored from us? Be sure to hit us up on Facebook , Instagram , Twitter , or via email at FunctionallyDysfunctionalShow@gm...

In this episode we talk about why you should tip your mail carrier, sky cap, and peg men for money. Wait, what? You'll have to listen to understand. Jeffrey and Mills also talk about white privilege, black lives matter, double standards, profiling, and the overarching problem of discrimination. Join us as we dig deep into some sticky topics that we all face in our world. Racism, prejudice, di...

Why has the world been burning and people been fighting with each other since the beginning of recorded history? Why are we fighting the same battles that we fought thousands of years ago? Should we trust in Jared Padalecki and Jenson Ackles? What about Erich von Däniken or Giorgio Tsoukalos? What about politicians and philanthropists? Who should we trust in? How can we change the fabric of our so...

A white guy and a black guy talk about some touchy and confusing shit such as black lives matter, all lives matter, color blindness, white privilege, prejudice, police brutality, and oh so much more. How the hell did we get here? What is the Black Lives Matter movement? Is "All Lives Matter" racist? What does it all actually mean? What's the history of oppression in the United State...

How the hell can a police officer murder a man restrained in cuffs? This is an absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable act of inhumanity. But is race the issue? Why is racism a thing? Can we really not get beyond race? Are we not all the same human species? How can one HUMAN treat another HUMAN like this? How can a human kill another human just because they look differently? How can a human view anot...

You're a bad person if you don't wear a mask. You're a dumb ass if you do. Which is it? Do they actually help anything? Should masks be mandatory? Are we putting the cart before the horse and becoming the frog in the pot of water where the heat is being slowly turned up on us? What if minor issues like masks are being put in the limelight to keep people from thinking about the bigge...

How effective is your mask at preventing viruses from reaching your nose and mouth, when a fart can be so persistently potent, against all odds? Be sure to hit us up on Facebook , Instagram , Twitter , or via email at FunctionallyDysfunctionalShow@gmail.com

Are we alone in the universe? Are we alone on our planet? What if life existed beyond this little blue-green rock? What if that alien intelligence has been shaping our society and species and existence since our beginning? What if every religious text in existence actually describes alien interaction, abductions, and guidance in ancient times? What if the governments of the modern world know the t...

It's ok to not be ok. When you find yourself feeling paralyzed, down, or in need of a day on the couch binging a new show or watching a good movie, we've got yo' back. On this episode we talk briefly about why it's ok to not be ok, and then go in depth on TV shows, Netflix/Amazon Prime/etc originals, and movies that are ABSOLUTELY worth checking out. Let us know if our recommen...

What do you do when the fear of what MIGHT happen in a given scenario keeps you from doing something you might enjoy and/or benefit from? We continue our conversation about the question that governs our every day lives..."What if?". How do you deal with stress in your life? Is it helpful or actually even more damaging? The key is to not be a menace in South Central while drinking your ju...

What if I don't follow the rules? What if I had of left five minutes early and been involved in that car crash? What if I can't find a job after leaving the job that's killing me? What if I die in a plane crash? What if I don't believe in a god? What if, what if, what if??? It's a subconscious question that we ask ourselves more than anything else every day. But what is th...

Many of us are falling on hard times as a result of the current COVID-19 hysteria. Is it insensitive to feel angry or hurt or confused or sad? Is it selfish to mourn the loss of your business or livelihood? Is it ok to express your true feelings? If it is necessary, it absolutely is.

Quarantines, small business closers, panic buying, and over-crowded hospitals.....but why? In this episode we discuss the age old question of what matters most, the needs of the few or the needs of the many? How many jobs is a life worth? Does it matter which life? Does all life matter equally? All very sticky questions to discuss, but all very important ones. So of course we discuss them! Join us...

Buckle up campers. In this episode we have spirited discussion about how big of a threat the COVID-19 virus actually is to our society. Is it a media frenzy? Is it a legit pandemic? Is it a measure of social control? Is it simply the evolutionary process at work? Or is it somewhere in the middle of that shit storm? Whereas we normally have just two folks on mic, this week we have three. And by com...

After seeing how the public reacts to the Coronavirus, it's no wonder the government hasn't told us about aliens. Be sure to hit us up on Facebook , Instagram , Twitter , or via email at FunctionallyDysfunctionalShow@gmail.com. We wanna hear what you think.

Faith and logic. Is there a never-ending war between them or are they closer to two sides of the same coin than we think? Can they coexist within the same person? Can a person have faith in a deity while also being highly logical? Or are faith and logic mutually exclusive? Are they two separate paths that never intersect somewhere off in the distance? We explore allllll of these questions and more...

Why do some people love to cuss? Why do some people hate to hear it? Why are people with neurological issues that prevent them from using "regular" words able to string together an eloquent chain of curse words?
