Dinosaurs, Mammoths & Minnesota Mayhem: Jamie and Chris Don't Be an Idiot

In this episode of Jamie & Chris: Don’t Be an Idiot, the boys take you on a wild ride from dinosaurs to frozen beasts to government disasters.We kick things off with Jurassic Park—the movies, the dinosaurs, the chaos, the CGI vs. practical effects debate, and how Hawaii secretly doubles as the world’s most beautiful death trap. If Spielberg filmed dinosaurs there, imagine what Jamie and Chris would do on those beaches.From there, we jump 40,000 years into the past, or is it the future? Scientists just extracted actual RNA from a woolly mammoth in Siberia. Yes, RNA. The fragile stuff. The kind that shouldn’t survive a freezer, let alone the Ice Age. Which means… someone is definitely trying to clone a mammoth. And they have $200 million behind them.Finally, we head to Minnesota, where fraud makes the weather look warm. Massive Medicaid and program abuse, $250 million food-program scams, $100M laundered into Al-Shabaab, autism-center fraud, and Minnesota Nice turns into Minnesota “Ope, we lost your tax dollars.”And of course, we close with“You Know You’re From Minnesota When…”because no one says “uff da” as proudly as a Midwesterner.Dinosaurs. Mammoths. Fraud. Minnesota weather trauma. Perfect mix.Keyword's for this Episode Jurassic Park discussionJurassic Park Hawaii filmingWoolly mammoth RNA discoveryMammoth cloningColossal BiosciencesMinnesota Medicaid fraudFeeding Our Future scandalSomali Medicaid fraud Minnesota/Al-Shabaab fundingMinnesota news 2025Jamie and Chris Don’t Be an IdiotFunny news podcastComedic political podcastJurassic Park scienceDe-extinction ethicsMinnesota culture jokesDon’t Be an Idiot podcastMidwest humor
