The Brush UP

This week get "Brushed Up" on

-A farewell to Dolly

-NFL Players going back to College Football

-49ers owner busted trying to cop a 140$ hooker in a trailer park

-Trumps got Beef with the Beef Farmers

-Canada Trade deal up in smoke for good probably

-Florida lady gets a crazy license plate...and loves it!

Mike Wilson and Dunbar Dicks open with NFL preseason chaos — the Cleveland Browns' Deshaun Watson quarterback battle, Aaron Donald's rumored return for the Los Angeles Rams, and the Detroit Lions sitting at #3 in early power rankings — before landing on a 1,300-year-old Viking-era sword a first grader dug up on a school farm trip in Norway. From there it's a Pennsylvania cocaine ring busted across two Penn State fraternities (14 people charged, an alleged ringleader nicknamed "Pablo Pledge Kabar," and an operation clumsily titled "Operation Drugs Unlimited"), the "maxing" trend takeover — Tour de France cyclists stuffing water bottles and padding into their jerseys for a roughly 4% aerodynamic edge, and a TikTok "pheromone maxing" trend telling people to skip showers (and worse) to smell more "naturally attractive" — Senator Jon Ossoff's viral "he doesn't want to do the job" jab at Trump over aide Natalie Harp, a 404 Media investigation into Amazon allegedly scanning and destroying rare out-of-print books at a Las Vegas facility to train AI, and a Hong Kong study tracking 26,000 students whose test scores collapsed after using AI for homework. The back half goes deep on tech-oligarch bunker mentality, Elon Musk's moon rocket, and why the gig economy isn't the flex younger workers think it is.

Florida Behavior + AI Is Kills the Internet + MTV Turns 45 | The Brush Up Ep. 13 We break down why AI is killing the internet as we know it — Google pulling its Google Earth AI feature after a researcher dropped a nuclear reactor that doesn't exist into satellite imagery, and the $2.4 million Macmillan deal for Jerry Falade's debut novel Call Me, I'll Hide the Body that collapsed when his own agents said they could no longer authenticate the manuscript, all because copyright law says only a human can own what they make. Plus MTV turns 45 and we pour one out for Thriller, TRL, The Real World, Yo! MTV Raps and the network that was social media before social media. We both saw The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX and loved it, so we get into Elon Musk announcing his own "historically accurate" version — the one with modern earplugs and a two-eyed cyclops — plus Spider-Man's $360 million domestic opening, the biggest in U.S. history. Then a Dunning-Kruger lesson on what discovery actually means, how it got the charges dropped in the Trump reflecting pool case, why Capital One's anti-money-laundering team closed 300+ accounts, and a Hollywood, Florida steakhouse charging $250 a head to eat dinner completely naked.

It's all the good feels with feel good stories this week

How Internet "Clipping" Fakes Viral Trends + Trump's $14.7M Green Pool | The Brush Up

We break down the science behind Donald Trump's $14.7 million polyurea pool disaster — including why contractor John J. Cafaro's work wouldn't adhere to granite — plus World Cup 2026 tourists losing their minds over Waffle House, Texas Roadhouse, and ranch dressing. Then we expose the marketplace agencies like Spade and Clipping Culture behind fake organic content campaigns, dig into the wild Broken Bow, Oklahoma Arby's lawsuit, and react to a Long Island high school that somehow graduated 21 valedictorians at once.
