Speaking of Christmas: The Grinch, BB Gun Wars & Red One - Ep. 52
Coal for Christmas? A Darth Vader haircut? And Santa’s true identity?

Christmas episode, and Todd and Bettijo kick things off exactly how you’d expect: roasting each other’s hair, debating whether “DANG!” works as a holiday greeting, and diving headfirst into what really makes the holiday season the holiday season. From when Christmas decorations should go up to why Todd thinks kids might deserve coal, nothing is off-limits.The conversation winds through favorite (and least favorite) holidays, faith, and the meaning behind Christmas and Easter.

Along the way, they swap childhood memories, blended-family realities, and hilarious debates about Santa’s race, belief, and bargaining power.Things take a nostalgic (and slightly unhinged) turn with stories of Nerf gun battles, BB gun mishaps, and holiday chaos past—before circling back to what matters most: togetherness. Whether it’s kids believing just a little longer, families navigating whose turn it is, or simply showing up, Todd and Bettijo remind us that Christmas isn’t about what’s under the tree—it’s about who’s around it.They wrap things up with a festive ToddFlix recommendation (Red One), more coal jokes, and a heartfelt reminder to enjoy your family while you have them.

Shame vs. Guilt: Which One is Secretly Sabotaging Your Growth? - Ep. 51
Is your inner voice saying, “I did something bad”… or “I am bad”? That subtle difference might be the key to your emotional growth—or the reason you feel stuck.SUMMARYTodd and Bettijo Bridges strip things down to a powerful, honest, just-the-two-of-us conversation about Shame vs. Guilt—and why confusing the two can quietly sabotage your self-worth, parenting, recovery, and mental health.Sprinkled with their signature humor, the heart of the conversation centers on a crucial distinction:Guilt highlights a behavior that needs repair.Shame attacks personal identity, which fuels the addiction cycle and a desire to hide rather than grow.They discuss how shame often drives the addiction cycle, why “mom guilt” is more accurately described as “mom shame,” and how shaming language—especially in parenting—can damage a child’s developing sense of self. Bettijo reframes guilt as a signal for growth, not punishment, while Todd shares personal insights into how shame thrives in secrecy.The conversation also explores the intersection of faith, prayer, and meditation, specifically highlighting the danger of outsourcing personal discernment to technology. Todd and Bettijo discuss a sobering case where an AI reportedly assisted a 16-year-old with suicide, illustrating the devastating risks when digital algorithms are used to replace genuine human connection or spiritual intuition.HIGHLIGHTSIdentifying the "voice of truth" versus the voice that attacks your self-worth.

(28:32)LISTEN TO LEARNHow to tell when guilt is helping you grow—and when it’s time to let it go.Why shaming language sticks to a child’s identity long after the moment has passed.Why “mom guilt” is misnamed—and how to stop carrying shame that isn’t yours.Stop letting shame drive the bus while guilt sits in the back seat throwing snacks.

Using Data to Predict Relapse & Improve Rehab with Trac9 - Ep. 50
Getting sober has long relied on hope, promises, and big claims — but rarely on measurable progress. In this milestone 50th episode of DANG!, Todd and Bettijo talk with Dr. Jared Dempsey and Kevin Jones, co-creators of Trac9 Informatics, about what happens when recovery is measured with science instead of slogans.SUMMARYFor decades, addiction treatment has been a kind of Wild West: different centers using different questionnaires (or none at all), progress measured by gut instinct alone, and no reliable way to compare outcomes or understand what actually helps people stay sober. Today we welcome Dr. Jared Dempsey and Kevin Jones of Trac9 Informatics, two leaders working to bring scientific measurement into a field that has historically operated without it.As the saying goes (the one Bettijo was grasping for): “What gets measured gets managed.” And in recovery, measurement has often been missing. Dempsey and Jones explain how their standardized weekly assessments look at key psychological factors—like depression, anxiety, stress, and more—that actually predict long-term sobriety. With millions of data points collected across treatment settings, they’ve uncovered patterns that can reveal when someone is struggling, when relapse risk may be rising, or when a therapist might need to dig deeper.The discussion also turns to the wider treatment landscape: the push toward value-based care, where centers are rewarded for meaningful outcomes rather than simply filling beds; the need for greater transparency around what “success” in treatment actually means; and the persistent stigma that still keeps many families from seeking help sooner.HIGHLIGHTSIntroducing Dr. Jared Dempsey and Kevin Jones of Trac9 Informatics and their work in addiction treatment. (0:56)The nine key variables in their standardized weekly assessment battery, including spirituality and stress. (1:46)How the lack of measurement in treatment made the industry the "Wild West." (3:18)Explaining how Trac9 uses a computer learning system and customized algorithms to predict relapse risk for each treatment center. (6:59)Discussing their new feature that estimates the likelihood of relapse for an entire year post-discharge. (10:30)The concept of the "therapeutic co-pilot" and how the recovery data gives patients power over their substance use disorder. (13:02)How the fentanyl crisis is escalating the life or death danger of addiction (16:30)The actual death toll of addiction – killing more people each year than car crashes and many types of cancer (17:18)The importance of transitioning to value-based care where facilities are incentivized to achieve successful outcomes. (24:59)ToddFlix - Resident Alien (32:20)LISTEN TO LEARNHow weekly, science-based assessments are bringing order to the “Wild West” of rehab and redefining what real progress looks like.The psychological markers that actually predict lasting sobriety.How data can flag rising relapse risk before it becomes a crisis — giving therapists a true “co-pilot” in care.What families should look for (and avoid) when choosing a rehab facility.Follow on Instagram: Todd @toddbridges & Bettijo @pagingsupermom--------------------© 2025 Loop 101 MediaDANG! is produced by Loop 101 Media, Bettijo Bridges, Todd Bridges & Attalie AnneFor more information contact info@loop101media.com
