In this solo episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith explores the idea of default emotional responses—what really happens when we get triggered, upset, or angry.

Inspired by a talk from Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dave breaks down the powerful metaphor of “squeezing an orange”: whatever comes out was already inside. He challenges the common belief that other people make us angry, arguing instead that our reactions are shaped by unresolved experiences, emotional conditioning, and unconscious programming.

Using real-life examples—from media narratives and political discourse to immigration debates, leadership training, and classroom dynamics—Dave encourages listeners to slow down, examine their knee-jerk reactions, and take responsibility for their emotions. He also shares insights from a high-stress leadership seminar that revealed how people react under pressure—and why awareness is the first step toward change.

This episode is a call for critical thinking, emotional accountability, and conscious response in a time when outrage is rewarded and reflection is discouraged.

Episode Highlights:

• Why no one can actually “make” you angry

• Dr. Wayne Dyer’s “squeezed orange” metaphor explained

• How unresolved emotions shape our default reactions

• The difference between conscious response and emotional knee-jerk reactions

• Media programming and conditioned outrage

• Logic, consistency, and critical thinking in emotionally charged topics

• Immigration as a case study in emotional vs rational discourse

• A leadership seminar stress test that exposed people’s core responses

• How anger, fear, humor, shutdown, or avoidance show up under pressure

• Why awareness—not blame—is the key to personal growth

• Language, accountability, and reclaiming meaning in modern culture

Key Takeaway:
Your emotional reaction isn’t caused by the moment—it’s revealed by it. Awareness gives you the power to choose a different response.About the Host

In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith kicks off a multi-part series critically examining pediatric gender dysphoria and so-called “affirming care.” Drawing from peer-reviewed medical and psychological literature, Dave focuses on detransitioners testimonies and raises concerns about current clinical practices involving puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions for minors.

Article read: Debate:Reality Check - Detransitioner's Testimonies Require Us To Rethink Gender Dysphoria, by Kirsty Entwistle. Published in Child and Adolescent Mental Health 26, No1, 2021, pp15-16

The episode explores gaps in long-term outcome data, the role of political and institutional pressure on gender clinics, and the need for broader psychological evaluation—especially when comorbid conditions such as autism, trauma, depression, or social isolation are present. Dave argues for a more cautious, holistic, and evidence-based approach to helping children, while maintaining that adults should retain autonomy over their own medical decisions.

This is a challenging, in-depth conversation about medicine, ethics, culture, and responsibility—intended to question prevailing narratives and encourage open discussion grounded in research and lived experience.

In this episode of And Another Thing With Dave, host David Smith and guest Jack dig into what they call “the dumbest time in human history” — the COVID era — and follow the thread all the way into UFO sightings and government secrecy.

What begins as a rant about mask mandates and casino hypocrisy morphs into a raw discussion about media fear, misplaced policy, and pandemic payouts before jumping headfirst into alien encounters, Bob Lazar, and Operation Blue Beam — a theory about staged extraterrestrial or messianic “invasions” powered by holographic tech.

The result?
A high-energy, irreverent, and thought-provoking ride through the last five years of collective confusion — full of barroom honesty, humor, and a reminder to “keep thinking for yourself, people.”

In this wide-open Sunday sit-down, host David Smith and guest Jack unpack America’s contradictions — from food aid and fairness to military spending, political corruption, and the pandemic’s fallout. What starts as a debate about SNAP benefits and welfare accountability turns into a full-blown conversation about foreign aid, CIA funding loops, pandemic psy-ops, and whether UFOs are already here.

It’s part kitchen-table talk, part late-night philosophy, part social autopsy — equal parts real talk and ridiculous.

They tackle:

• The truth and myths about EBT/SNAP and government aid.

• U.S. spending priorities — veterans vs. Ukraine, Israel, and the military-industrial complex.

• How COVID policy, vaccine kickbacks, and mask theater exposed public trust cracks.

• Whether AI, surveillance, and Agenda 21-style “smart cities” mean freedom or control.

• UFOs, Bob Lazar, Operation Blue Beam, and alien overlords (because of course it ends there).

This is “And Another Thing With Dave” at its purest: irreverent, unfiltered, and brutally honest — where serious ideas mix with satire and skepticism.

Host David Smith tackles the Point Reyes National Seashore controversy: a $30M settlement to phase out long-standing dairy and most beef operations in favor of expanded elk rewilding—and the community turmoil it’s sparked. Dave and co-host riff on whether this is conservation or eviction, what rewilding really means on crowded roads and fragile watersheds, and how policy, philanthropy, and PR shape who gets to live and work on the land.

The conversation zooms out to the culture war around Agenda 21/“15-minute cities”, digital control, and pandemic-era policy overreach—asking hard questions about freedom of movement, rural livelihoods, and whether “green” plans sometimes sideline working families. It’s sharp, irreverent, and very Marin: dairies, elk, ribeye's, merch jokes, and a few bumper-sticker-ready lines you’ll be quoting all week.

Content note: satire, salty language, and political humor.

Host David Smith dives deep into the hidden world of hormone disruptors, food corruption, and environmental manipulation in this hard-hitting episode of And Another Thing With Dave.

From PFAS in yoga pants and phthalates in air fresheners to BPA in plastics and Atrazine in the water supply, David and co-host Grok unpack how chemical chaos might be quietly wrecking fertility, cognition, and masculinity across the West.

The conversation veers into the political and cultural machinery behind it all — touching on the influence of major donors, nonprofits like HRC and the Trevor Project, and how environmental or “green” initiatives often mask corporate land grabs and globalist agendas that threaten local farming and food sovereignty.

They also discuss:

• The eerie truth behind Alex Jones’ infamous “turning the frogs gay” claim.

• Teflon, candles, detergents, and “fresh scents” — everyday hormone disruptors hiding in plain sight.

• How the Nature Conservancy’s Point Reyes land deal quietly forced out generational dairy families in the name of “restoring elk.”

• Why regenerative organic farming may be the last stand against synthetic food, fake meat, and corporate-controlled agriculture.

It’s funny, raw, and thought-provoking — the kind of podcast that makes you rethink what’s in your pantry, your yoga pants, and your politics.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith

Host: Dave Smith

Dave examines the clash between inclusion and competitive fairness in women’s sports—from Title IX history to today’s debate over trans participation, scholarships, and safety. Call-ins weigh bathroom policies, separate divisions, and why emotions often overrun facts. Dave argues for logic-first discussion, equal opportunity, and women leading the reform push.

(Content note: sensitive topics, strong opinions.)
