Just Dumb Enough Podcast

Being “Just Dumb Enough” is all about being okay with yourself, and the situation you find yourself in, after you bring up a topic in front of a real expert. My name is Colton Petry, I am the Host of the Just Dumb Enough Podcast, and I‘m your professional idiot. The premise of the show is exposing the general listening audience to topics, careers, experiences, or lifestyles they may otherwise know very little about.

There are only a couple people in the world who give me voice envy, but our expert today is one of them. And even with me saying that, he doesn't believe his own voice is truly radio ready.

It's no secret that those we consider necessary for a high quality of life, from paramedics to teachers, either work a very short amount of time before flaming out; or sacrifice everything else in their life so they can keep picking up the pieces for everyone else, while neglecting their own.

When I think of an easy instrument: The very last thing I think of is a piano, and most of you out there would probably think the same... Except for maybe the Unipiper, but he's not our topic. Instead I have an expert who insists that absolutely everyone can play the ivory keys.

Up top, I promise that this episode is not more politicized dribble. I hear it everywhere, every day, and I just will not make room for it in this show. Instead we'll be discussing the candidates who are so often looked over.

The ever-present and always hot button issue here in the US: Immigration. Be it legal, illegal, or historical; we just can't seem to stop arguing over it. For that reason, we're joined today by someone who grew up in a split migrant family, who can give us some honest perspective.

I'm certainly not educated well enough to say what exactly has led to the dramatic reductions in global testosterone levels, be it plastics, sugars, antibiotics, processed chemicals, or whatever else. However, my guest today is a hormone replacement expert, so we'll find out together!

We can never seem to stay away from sad topics for too long on this podcast, but I always look at them as a way to help this community prepare and heal from all that sadness that we usually suffer alone. So, be sure to take some notes.

After three and a half years of doing this show at least once a week, I think I've found what might be the most difficult skill to learn; as it took our expert today over seven years of one on one study with a lifetime master of the craft before he was able to attempt it on his own.

When I hear the word "Prayer": I immediately think of a catholic mass in a regal church, or a solemn beg for more time from a sick person. But our guest today says that it doesn't even need to be specific to any religion in order to heal what ails you.

Hey hey everyone!  It's your favorite professional idiot, Colton Petry.  I'm just dropping a little surprise announcement that I will be touring in Japan in May of 2025.  And some might ask, why Japan? Why not Magunka county?  The answer to that is two fold. Number one, I've always wanted to visit Japan to tour the shrines and temples. Number two, I guess they just care to see me more than you do... or are at least more verbal abou...

Taking quotes out of context is a favorite pastime from both news agencies and trolls worldwide. I think one of my out of context quotes went: "You're going to be punished for having a moment of space to breathe." And while that's hard to decipher, truly inspiring quotes are much better.
