De-Influenced with Dani + Jordan

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.

Plus, Dani recaps her girls' trip to Amazon Summit, they talk Taylor Swift's new music, andJordan uncovers some unexpected history surrounding their new Nashville neighborhood.

It's a little bit of everything this week. Let's get into it!

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” driving basically everything he does. Naturally, that sends them down a full AI rabbit hole involving therapy, data centers, almond milk, Google’s future, and whether robots are about to take over.

Just a normal week on De-Influenced.

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

ambition, motherhood, supporting your spouse’s dreams, and how you decide which

opportunities are worth saying yes to in different seasons of life.

Plus, Jordan takes us down a wild airplane rabbit hole, Dani shares an update on her new

workout obsession, and they recap everything happening in their lives lately.

Can you chase every dream and still protect what matters most? Let’s get into it.

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 Clayton Echard’s paternity scandal and the Love Trapped podcast.

Then we get a little deeper: Has our culture made marriage harder by convincing people they need to have their entire lives figured out before finding a spouse? We talk about building a life with someone versus waiting until you’ve built it alone, influencer culture at live events, and whether creators have officially gone too far.

It’s pop culture, marriage, internet rabbit holes and plenty of unsolicited opinions. Let’s get into it.

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 embroidery.

Plus, Dani and Jordan talk about how life has shifted since moving to Nashville, redefining what “success” actually looks like, and why being surrounded by people who value faith, family, and fruitfulness over achievements has been surprisingly challenging — in the best way.

It’s internet chaos, life updates, a few rabbit holes, and some unexpectedly deep thoughts. Basically… a very De-Influenced episode.

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 standard when it comes to modesty for men and women.

Later, things get a little deeper as Dani and Jordan unpack cessationism vs. continuationism,

spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues, healing, modern-day prophets and discernment. Dani shares

how growing up in a charismatic church shaped the way she approaches faith today —

including one question she still wrestles with: Is it the Holy Spirit… or is it the music?

And because no De-Influenced episode is complete without a rabbit hole, Jordan found data on

where single people should actually live if they want to get married… and apparently your ZIP

code might matter more than you think.

Basically: sleep-deprived parents, soccer dads, internet debates, spiritual gifts and dating

statistics. A very normal week over here.

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 before: IVF, frozen embryos and the complicated questions surrounding when life begins. We definitely don't have all the answers, but we talk through where we're conflicted, why this topic feels so personal and sensitive, and why sometimes faith leaves room for questions.

Plus, why we need to stop putting people on pedestals, Dani's thoughts on moms judging other moms, Jordan's Nashville makeover…and somehow, by the end of the episode, we're talking about whether dragons were real.

Basically, a very normal episode of De-Influenced. 😂

We love y'all!! Thanks for listening! 🤍

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 longevity may be based on faulty data, and whether churches and pastors should mix faith, politics and media.

Basically… marriage, parenting, internet drama and a few rabbit holes we probably shouldn't have gone down. Enjoy!!

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 like when the internet moves on to the next person.

And finally, we’re talking about the Lindsay Clancy case and the really difficult conversation surrounding postpartum mental health, postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility. This one is heavy, so we give a warning before getting into it for anyone who may not be in a place to listen right now.

Basically… deodorant, index funds, influencer existential crises and true crime. A very normal episode of De-Influenced 😂

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks for hanging with us every week. 🤍

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 we brought home with us. As always, this episode has a little bit of

everything!!
