Before the polish, before the segments, this is where it started. These original episodes laid the foundation for everything that came after—raw, direct, and unfiltered. The message was always the same: cut through the noise, understand your rights, and stop letting others tell you what the law says. If you want to hear how this show found its voice, this is where you begin.
More original episodes from 2022–2023 are being added regularly. This page will eventually feature all 20+ original recordings.
A raw, first-ever episode of What You Think Doesn’t Matter. Chris takes on the rise of self-entitlement and breaks down the difference between true equal rights and preferential treatment disguised as equality.
An unfiltered look at the Castle Doctrine—what it really means, when it applies, and why understanding the four golden rules of gun safety is essential for every responsible firearm owner.
You keep hearing that we live in a democracy—but that’s not exactly true. In this episode, I cut through the noise and explain the real difference between a democracy and a constitutional republic. You’ll hear how the founding fathers designed this country, why mob rule was never part of the plan, and how modern politics twists these terms to push an agenda. No fluff. No sugar-coating. Just a clear, direct breakdown of how this system was actually built—and what it means for you.
In this episode, we go back to the roots of social media and social networking — two terms people love to use interchangeably, even though they aren’t the same thing. I break down the difference in plain English: social media is the content, social networking is the platform that spreads it.
We track the evolution of digital communication from the early days of landline-based connections, email chains, bulletin boards, and dial-up systems… all the way to modern platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. No internet as we know it today — just phones, crude systems, and a lot of patience.
I talk about how we got here, how these platforms became central to our daily lives, and why our culture is now so dependent — even addicted — to them. We also look at how that shift hasn’t always been good for us — from misinformation to toxic engagement to the pressure of constant connection.
Whether you grew up with AOL chatrooms or were born with TikTok in your hand, this episode pulls the curtain back on the rise of social platforms and how they’ve reshaped everything we do.
No sugar-coating. Just perspective, history, and straight talk.

Most people have no idea how offenders are actually housed once they enter a prison. They think everyone just goes to “general population” and that’s the end of it. Yeah… no. It’s a lot more complex than that.
In this episode, I break down the classification process — how offenders are evaluated, scored, and assigned — and why some end up in minimum custody while others go straight to max. We dig into how decisions get made, what factors matter, and why proper placement is crucial for safety and stability inside any facility.
We also look at the different housing units: • General Population • Segregation • Protective Custody • Mental-health units • Dorms …and why each one exists.
This isn’t Hollywood. This is the real system — how it works, why it works, and what happens when it doesn’t.
If you’ve worked in corrections, you’ll get it. If you haven’t, now you’ll understand what really happens behind the wire.
No sugar-coating. Just the truth from someone who’s been there.
