6/23/25 - War Weren’t Declared

-Lucky episode #13! For the main topic, Doug and Todd discuss the attacks on Iran, the correlation to the Iraq War, and the greater geo-political implications.

In News of the Week, we have good news for Mahmoud Khalil, and bad news for anyone who uses cellphones, national parks, or marijuana. 

For What’s Geek this Week, we’ve got TV shows from video games, TV shows from comic books, and TV shows from old TV shows.

Lastly, in That’s Some Weird Shit, we learn about A.I. bigfoot and screeching like a seagull.

All that and more on this week’s episode of ADHP with Doug & Todd. Turn the volume up and take a ride!
