The two get political…They talk social issues. They jump headfirst into today’s headlines. It’s like listening in on what two businessmen/entrepreneurs have to say about everything going on around them. And like any A-types, David and Brad pull no punches.

Ep. 333 - The Coconut Theory of GovernanceWhen the official White House page declared Harambe a "true patriot" on what would have been his 27th birthday, most people scrolled past. David & Brad take a moment. Because once the government is producing gorilla memorial content while simultaneously installing a UFC octagon on the South Lawn for America's 250th, you have to ask what exactly Valley Forge was for.As it turns out, there’s a through-line from the White House's foray into internet meme governance all the way to Denver International Airport's genius plan to silence the lizard-people conspiracy by opening some of the tunnels for public tours, which just tells every conspiracy theorist on earth that the other tunnels are where the answers are. The fix is always worse than the problem, whether you're running an airport, a cruise ship, or a country.The coconut, however, remains the answer. Roddy Piper knew it. Sister Rose Albert Malloy knew it. And if you've spent any time watching influencers validate each other's feelings on a screen, you know it too.
Ep. 332 - Friend Request from Tom SelleckThe economy is in freefall. Democracy is crumbling. The president is an idiot and we're all going to die. That's the story in the news, anyway. Meanwhile, the Dow just hit 50,000. David and Brad take a moment to appreciate how markets, unlike the media, don't have a narrative to protect.Also on the docket: Joey Chestnut, 17-time Nathan's champion and reigning Bologna Showdown king, has been cleared to compete by Major League Eating after a regrettable but jurisdictionally convenient incident outside an Indiana bar. And in the state of California, a woman spent months sending cash and gift cards to a man she believed to be Tom Selleck, who had reached out via Facebook to help honor her late friend. The lesson, delivered with appropriate gravity: if Tom Selleck contacts you on social media asking for a Starbucks gift card, do not send it. Especially not in Seattle, where the mayor has made that parti
Ep. 331 - Congratulations, You Don't Have Hantavirus (Probably)Eleven people on the planet have hantavirus. The CDC calls the risk "very, very low." The media has labeled it a crisis. Brad Sheafe is slightly more skeptical about a disease you'd have to wallow in rat droppings to contract. Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Lines is having a week, the Pentagon has released thousands of UFO affidavits featuring aircraft that defy known physics, and Bigfoot is back in Northeast Ohio. The aliens won't make contact. The Sasquatch won't give an interview. And the people actually running this country can't manufacture a semiconductor. At this point, the creatures hiding in the woods might be onto something.
Ep. 330 - Keep Away From Rat DroppingsPeople are dead on a cruise ship because someone thought a garbage dump was a birdwatching venue. The CDC, fresh off its COVID credibility tour and a poster advising Americans to masturbate through monkeypox, wants you to take this seriously. David and Brad are not sure you should. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has released the UFO files. Also: deviled ham is real, the airplane boarding process is a civilizational failure, and no one on a cruise ship has ever gotten their money's worth.
Ep. 329 - All's Fair in Love and CannonsThe boys are back and waste no time on the JP Morgan fiasco featuring an office sex slave, Viagra pellets, and seductive cannons. From there it’s full clown world: a Kamala donor sprints through a metal detector at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner waving a shotgun while the President, VP, and half the succession line sip cocktails in the same Hilton where Reagan got shot. Then a California winery millionaire gets trampled to death by the very elephants he flew to Africa to murder for sport. Nature keeps receipts. And because the week wasn’t deranged enough, Iran, with its navy gone and economy on life support, decides dolphin suicide bombers are the answer.
Ep. 328 - Best Of: Running on Chalupas and Other Existential RegretsDavid and Brad are still deep undercover on a global fact-finding mission. While the boys gather fresh intel, here’s some of the best clips from recent episodes.First, we harken back to the Taco Bell Ultramarathon, where runners are required to choke down burritos, chalupa supremes, and Baja Blast without launching a tactical rear-guard action. They also watch a pack of middle-aged white ladies in yellow windbreakers block traffic to protest a king who (checks notes) still doesn’t exist. Then settle in for Brad’s masterclass on the Book of Enoch: Watchers, Nephilim, pseudepigrapha, the whole Second Temple fever dream…while David ties it straight to Joe Rogan’s UFO rabbit hole and the left’s selective science fetish.This is the second Best Of in a row because your favorite hosts are out there doing the dangerous work of real journalism. Fear not, patriots. Pridham and Sheafe will storm back from their global expeditions next week, fully re-armed and ready to drop even heavier payload on next week’s fresh batch of lunacy.
Ep. 327 - Best Of: Sombreros, Subpoenas, and ScandalsSome podcasts do a Best Of to celebrate. David and Brad do one because the evidence needed to be organized. Judges demanding biological proof of French first ladies. Presidents trolling Congress with sombreros. A Biden portrait that's just a picture of a machine. Pull up a chair, because the archive is undefeated and the world has only gotten weirder since.
Ep. 326 - A Ballooning ProblemThe trouble with keeping something big under wraps is that eventually, the bubble bursts. Case in point, Bryon Noem, husband of the former Secretary of Homeland Security, was quietly sending tens of thousands of dollars to fetish models and circulating photos of himself in fake balloon boobs across the internet until, inevitably, it all came out. When confronted, he simply said, "I don't care." Congress, meanwhile, has run the national debt from $3.3 trillion in 1990 to $38.5 trillion today, left the Department of Homeland Security completely unfunded, and fled Washington. Just ask Lindsey Graham, who was photographed at Space Mountain with a bubble wand. David and Brad also check in on Tiger Woods, who is a billionaire, lives on a private island, and still cannot arrange a ride home.
