IP... Frequently: A Not-Very Intellectual Business Podcast

David 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.

Some 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.

The 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.

Europe watches from the sidelines as the United States proceeds to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, and somewhere in the New Mexico desert, a retired general is wandering around looking for alien debris. Meanwhile, a quadruple amputee (and champion cornhole player) committed, executed, and survived a murder with more operational competence than NATO has shown in years.

Brad and David cut through the fog on the Strait of Hormuz, where tankers sit idle because insurers won’t risk Iranian drones. The same reluctance shows up at home: repeated attacks tied to radical Islam get soft-pedaled as “vehicle incidents” or “motives unclear,” even when the perpetrators shout their ideology loud and clear. From campus stabbings to synagogue car-rammings, the pattern is obvious, but naming it doesn’t fit the preferred narrative.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security sits unfunded, TSA lines drag, and we’re left all alone with our AI “girlfriends” and phones that know our every move before we do.

This week, three of Congress's sharpest legal minds requested a deposition with Hillary Clinton, took a victory selfie beforehand, and proceeded to get absolutely folded in half by a 77-year-old woman before the first hour was up. A masterclass in prosecutorial precision, just not theirs.

Kristi Noem, widely regarded as one of the great strategic communicators of her generation, spent $220 million explaining to America how great she was, and was rewarded accordingly. Her successor is a former MMA fighter who once attempted to resolve a Senate hearing in the parking lot. The transition of power is going smoothly.

Elsewhere, the United States and Israel are conducting a perfectly normal military operation in Iran, the Arab coalition that was supposed to hate this idea is on board, and Trump is simply working through a to-do list that happens to include regime change in three countries.

David also attempted to prove his humanity to a children's video game and was denied. Thrice. The monkey was not a bird. Better luck next time.

David's on the road taking the pulse of America, so we're raiding the vault. This week's best-of serves up the WNBA's bright green dildo epidemic, an 80-something German named Helmet Hammerhand crushing 293 walnuts in 60 seconds with a raw egg in his fist, the half-billion-dollar Trump judgment that an appellate court quietly reduced to zero, Letitia James and Adam Schiff's shared talent for mortgage fraud, and a NASA asteroid alert designed to alarm you and reassure you in the same breath.

A man in a wig shoots up his kid's hockey game, and the one thing you cannot say is the most obvious thing in the room. David and Brad trace the through-line from the Rhode Island rink to Canadian schools to the Trump shooting and ask: if this were the Gambino family, would we notice a pattern? Spoiler: yes. Also: the Savannah Guthrie disappearance, homeless New Yorkers dying on Mamdani's watch, and why what’s coming down the pike might also be coming down the pipe.

New York's communist mayor can't plow streets or pick up trash, giving New Yorkers a genuine taste of a political philosophy that has literally never worked. Meanwhile, 3 million pages of Epstein documents somehow only put one person behind bars. Plus: a perplexing kidnapping, one man’s catastrophic luck at presidential events, and the latest odds on the Second Coming. Your weekly reminder that the justice system works great…just not for you.

The Hall of Fame gatekeepers have spoken, and Bill Belichick isn't getting in. David and Brad dissect the petty jealousies and false moral superiority that kept the greatest coach in NFL history out of Canton. Then it's off to Minneapolis, where federal agents trying to enforce laws are being harassed by whistle-blowing martyrs with loaded guns (what could go wrong?). The guys tackle the impossible task of finding honest reporting on the ICE operations, debate the wisdom of pulling all federal support from cities that won't cooperate, and explain why showing up to confront armed officers with an air horn is a terrible life choice. Finally, the CDC reveals that between 2018 and 2023, Americans were far more likely to be killed by wasps and bees than by marine animals.
