Old Enough to Know Better
Wisdom earned. Sarcasm sharpened. And no topic too sacred.
From the front lines of disaster zones to the shadows of homeland security briefings, Old Enough to Know Better is not your average podcast. Hosted by longtime responder, threat analyst, author, and proud curmudgeon E.G. Weiss, this show dives headfirst into the world of emergency response, law enforcement, and national security with the unapologetic voice of someone who’s been there, done that, and probably wrote the field guide afterward.

Married to the Mayhem — The Truth About First Responder Marriages
Married to the Mayhem — The Truth About First Responder Marriages
First responders run into burning buildings, gunfire, and chaos daily. But the real heat? It’s at home.
In this powerful new episode of Old Enough to Know Better, we dig into the psychological science, relationship-damaging stressors, and emotional fallout of the responder lifestyle. With humor, hard truths, and stats that’ll make you rethink your agency’s priorities, we explore:
- Why trauma follows you home and how it shows up in your marriage
- The brain chemistry of burnout, isolation, and emotional numbness
- What agencies should be doing to support not just responders, but their families
- Real, science-backed strategies to prevent divorce and reconnect
- And yes… sarcasm included (as always)
If you’re in public safety (or love someone who is) you need this episode.
