The election is Tuesday, so now is as good a time as ever to contemplate the slow unraveling of American democracy. Will this be a fair election? Will Congress certify the election results? Could a solar storm a la The Carrington Event take us back to a world without electricity or internet before the results are in? Tune in and find out!

Kamala has spent $1B on her campaign so far, which seems like a lot of money. And while her speeches only average six-minutes long, she still finds time to call her opponent “literally Hitler”, while also accusing him of cognitive decline.  Whether you're tired of election season drama or just enjoy watching two guys systematically dismantle political nonsense while also covering important asteroid and UFO-related news, this episode's got you covered.

From the murky timeline of Lee Harvey Oswald's movements in Dallas to the uncertain future of American politics, this episode tackles mysteries both historical and current. Join David and Brad for a meandering journey through American history, politics, and buffet-style cuisine.

A vocal group of people in America think the same government that can barely control their own press conferences is secretly controlling the weather. In this episode, David and Brad navigate the turbulent waters of recent events, from weather manipulation theories to teleprompter-dependent politicians. They explore the latest election polls, dissect the consensus on the chicken-or-egg debate, and share tales from their salad days.

There was a time when hiring a Russian-Ukrainian hit squad to whack a political opponent would raise some eyebrows. And it used to be the case that a politician borrowing a family to pose for his political campaign ads would be seen as disingenuous. Alas, we live in the year 2024, and these stories are a dime a dozen. Tune in to listen to in-depth analysis of all the news you need to know…and more…right here, on IP…Frequently.

Black Sabbath's "Mob Rules" is like a prophecy come to life, 42 years after they dropped that album. In this episode, Brad and David dive headfirst into the dumpster fire that is our current political circus. It's a choose-your-own-disaster situation: you've got Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz playing hide-and-seek with the public, while Trump's out there saying whatever pops into his head. In other news, Bobby Kennedy Jr. got mixed up in some sexting shenanigans, and the NYC mayor is getting indicted over...airline upgrades. Brad and David also take aim at the media's fun-house mirror version of reality, where what you see depends entirely on which political team you're rooting for. It's like watching two different movies playing at the same time, and neither one makes any sense.

Another week, another attempt on Trump’s life. It sounds crazy, but a substantial percentage of polled Democrats aren’t troubled by the fact that there have been two assassination attempts on former President Trump. Is this a product of sinister media bias or is there a negative cultural shift that normalizes political violence? In international news, an unprecedented coordinated attack on Hezbollah terrorists changes the landscape of modern warfare.

For everyone who was hopeful that the Harris and Trump debate would be an informative discourse on pressing issues in America…what were you thinking? The debate focused instead on Hatian migrants eating pets in Ohio, and a disagreement on what actually happened on January 6th, almost 5 years ago. Whatever the case, it may be wise to sit the next 4 years out in your bunker and hope for the best.

This week, David and Brad sample the varied flavors of recent political rallies. Vice President Kamala Harris attempts to spice up her appeal by adopting local accents, and former President Donald Trump makes a campaign promise to ban mosquitoes, which should garner rare bipartisan support.

Join David Pridham and Brad Sheafe as they dish out a smorgasbord of America's most bewildering current events in this "Best of" episode. From competitive eaters inhaling hot dogs to the Pentagon's appetite for lab-grown meat, our hosts slice through the absurdity going on in the world. They'll also unpack the latest rumblings from Mount St. Helens, expose the dark underbelly of mega-churches, and reveal the kink that’s sweeping the nation.
