De-Influenced with Dani + Jordan

Dani had a toxic shock syndrome scare, and she’s sharing the whole story so it never happens to you!!! Plus, the question all over our feeds this week: should Christians celebrate Halloween? 🎃 After weeks of UTI symptoms, two rounds of antibiotics and six OB offices that couldn’t see her, the answer was hiding in plain sight: a forgotten tampon. We talk the signs of TSS to watch for and why her doctor said this happens all the time. Plus: Dani finally got Jordan doing cardio at a HYROX-style class at Shed in Nashville, his Function Health heart results, and the two-degree pivots that changed his life. Then we get into the Christian Halloween debate, witchcraft on Etsy (yes, really), and whether skipping trick-or-treating has gotten a little performative. Jordan breaks down Empire of the Summer Moon, the story of Cynthia Ann Parker and Quanah Parker, and why Columbus Day vs. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is grayer than anyone wants it to be. We swap book recs (Angel Down and Whale Fall by Daniel Kraus) and talk about the book-to-movie adaptations Hollywood actually got right. And finally, the F-Factor lawsuit. We talk about Tanya Zuckerbrot’s settlement with Emily Gellis, why Jordan thinks it sets a new precedent for online defamation, and what it means for hate accounts and anonymous posts on Reddit. In this episode: • Dani’s toxic shock scare and the forgotten tampon • Jordan’s first cardio era (and his VO2 max) • Should Christians celebrate Halloween? • Empire of the Summer Moon and Indigenous Peoples’ Day • Angel Down, Whale Fall and the best book-to-movie adaptations • The F-Factor lawsuit and what it means for online haters This episode is conversation, not medical advice. If something feels off, call your doctor!!

Carl and Laura Lentz join Jordan for an honest conversation about marriage, infidelity, forgiveness, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal. After Carl's highly publicized departure from Hillsong NYC in 2020, their family faced a painful and very public season of change. Now, Carl and Laura are opening up about the years that followed, including the decision to stay together, the role addiction played in their story, and the difficult work of healing individually and as a couple. Laura shares why she chose to fight for their marriage, why forgiveness took years, and how they began rebuilding trust. Carl reflects on the choices that led to his downfall, taking accountability, and the lessons he's learned about faith, fame, and personal healing. They also discuss their book, Overcoming Infidelity, and the conversations they hope will help other couples navigating betrayal. This is a vulnerable conversation about second chances, family, faith, and what rebuilding a marriage actually looks like.

This week on De-Influenced, we're getting into a little bit of everything, starting with the internet having some THOUGHTS about our new house. Dani reads some of the comments surrounding a recent home update, and we get into the bigger conversation about influencer culture, money, and why people are so frustrated with what they see online. Speaking of influencers, Pete Davidson recently had some choice words about content creators and how much money they're making. Is he saying what everyone else is thinking, or is Hollywood just having a hard time accepting that influencers are the new celebrities? We also get into a parenting disagreement after Stella was embarrassed to go to school, and whether it's better to protect your kids' confidence or let them learn to handle uncomfortable situations. Plus, Dani opens up about the mom guilt spiral that comes from watching other moms seemingly do it all online. Between elaborate birthdays, picture-perfect fall activities, and the pressure to make every moment magical, when did simply spending time with your kids stop feeling like enough? And of course, Jordan shares his latest AI gadget purchase that might not be as life-changing as he thought. It's a little pop culture, a little parenting, and a lot of real life. We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

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.

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.
