The Dude Man Podcast

The Dudes open on their expectations for the midterm elections. One clear story is Abdul El-Sayed’s win in Michigan, making him the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. That turns into the larger conversation about the Pod Save America hosts telling Jews to vote for him. Co-host Jon Lovett said Jews in Michigan have a “moral obligation” to support El-Sayed, arguing that Trump’s rhetoric and rising hatred on the right pose the bigger threat. Exit polls of Jewish early voters in the state showed El-Sayed receiving roughly 57 to 60 percent, well below the support other Democrats on the ticket received.

Later, the fellas dissect the WNBA denying Enes Kanter Freedom entry into the league. Freedom has been in an ongoing public dispute with the WNBA over its gender eligibility rules and seating at the Finals. He is now threatening to expose the NBA’s ties to China. On the Sage Steele Show he claimed he has recordings of conversations with Commissioner Adam Silver and league officials. He said officials threatened to ban him for wearing “Free Tibet” shoes and that Silver acknowledged China’s different system before adding “at the end, we are a business.” Freedom’s line: “People think what I’m doing with WNBA is a lot. Wait till what I’m going to do with NBA.”

The guys close on the Pentagon’s doomsday scenario plan called FORTRESS. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled the initiative to keep major U.S. military bases operating independently for at least 90 days without outside support in a major war. It includes portable nuclear reactors, microgrids that can disconnect from the civilian grid, and strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, and supplies. Officials have said “power is combat now.” Then Playboy announcing the return of print publications. The magazine relaunched as a quarterly in 2026 under editor-in-chief Phillip Picardi, with recent covers including Karol G and Cara Delevingne. They wrap on Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson empathizing with Luigi Mangione.

The Dudes open on Macklemore’s Free Palestine concert series which turns into a larger conversation about the widespread destruction throughout the Gaza Strip. 

Later, the fellas dissect the election results from Israel deciding Bibi Netanyahu’s political future. In the October 27 vote, Netanyahu’s bloc finished with 53 seats, the opposition bloc led by Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party took 48, and the Arab parties combined for a record 19. Neither side reached the 61 seats needed for a majority. From there it’s the exposed DNC-linked ploy to add a second Dan Sullivan to the Alaska ballot. A New York Times report detailed how Mary Peltola’s campaign and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee aides worked on what insiders called the “ballot composition project,” recruiting a retired teacher named Dan J. Sullivan to run against incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan. The goal was to confuse voters.

The guys close on the legend of Pop Warner’s dirty tricks — the early football coach who built his reputation on schemes that walked right up to the edge of the rules. Then midterm elections predictions with the races still being counted and called. Next is the old Anita Hill allegation against Clarence Thomas from the 1991 confirmation hearings, the line about who put pubic hair on his Coke can. Thomas denied every claim and was confirmed. They wrap on the FBI raid connected to Eric Swalwell. On October 27 agents searched the Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire donor Stephen Cloobeck as part of the investigation into the former congressman, who resigned in April amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations. Earlier warrants had already hit Swalwell’s D.C. home and seized devices at San Francisco International Airport.

The Dudes open on James Talarico’s strange interest in drag queens. When asked at a campaign stop to name his favorite drag queen in Texas, he answered without hesitation: “Oh my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards.” Alyssa Edwards is Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, a performer who has described himself as a drag performer that works with children and owns a dance studio. Talarico has also said Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation and previously stated that “God is nonbinary” and that there are six biological sexes. That turns into the larger conversation about the rise of transgender-identified children among Hollywood elites. 

Later, the fellas dissect the rise of misogynistic new-age Gen Z manosphere influencers. The looksmaxxing wave, heightmaxxing, and black-pill framing of dating have moved from niche corners into mainstream visibility. From there it’s Clavicular joining the PBD Podcast. On episode #880 he sat with Patrick Bet-David and Antonio Sabàto Jr. to debate the spectrum of men capable of picking up women. They covered looks versus money, the male loneliness crisis, and the risks of extreme self-improvement. At one point Clavicular admitted Sabàto “mogs” him.

The guys close on food bringing more joy than partying in the elder years — a good meal with the right people eventually beats the late nights. Then growing up in the nineties when everything was extreme: the music, the fashion, the sports, the lack of filter. They wrap by reminding everyone listening to go out and vote in this midterm election. November 3 is here.

The Dudes open on worldwide warnings of impending cyber attacks. Recent hits include major banks in South Korea, a $6.3 billion Binance theft the FBI tied to North Korea, and Russia and Ukraine emergency apps that pushed fake nuclear alerts. Experts warn AI tools now let almost anyone become a capable attacker. That turns into the larger conversation about Orthodox Jewish communities receiving tax-supported funding to study full-time instead of work. In Israel, benefits for the Haredi sector have exceeded spending on hospitals and higher education combined, while male employment rates have stayed low under the existing incentives.

Later, the fellas dissect Democrat Haley Stevens endorsing Republican Mike Rogers for Michigan Senate. Stevens lost the August primary to Abdul El-Sayed, then on November 1 appeared with Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit and said she was no longer welcome in his campaign. The rift centered on Israel and an outside ad she called antisemitic. Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel called it a betrayal two days before the election. From there it’s democratic socialists aligning themselves against the world’s wealthiest elites.

The guys close on Abdul El-Sayed’s comments about Pete Hegseth’s youth athletic history. On Hasan Minhaj’s show El-Sayed suggested Hegseth was mostly a bench player whose parents still cheered hard for him. Hegseth’s actual record at Forest Lake High School included all-state basketball and school records for three-pointers. Hegseth’s father responded that El-Sayed had “little man syndrome.” Then mail-in ballots and the argument that they have undermined confidence in elections in Democratic strongholds. They wrap on Ted Cruz appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher. Cruz praised Maher’s monologue about Trump (“that was funny as hell”) and got Maher to concede that Texas Democrat James Talarico is a woke radical. Kid Rock was also on the panel.

The Dudes open on Barack Obama hitting the midterm campaign trail in the final stretch before November 3. That turns into the larger conversation about the Bush family staying quiet on the sidelines after leaving office. No rallies, no running commentary. The contrast is the point: one former president is still the closer, the other family largely disappeared from the public stage.

Later, the fellas dissect the conservative reaction to the Cheesecake Factory scandal. At a Cleveland rally Obama said Trump has “got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” MAGA treated the line as an elitist attack on a middle-class chain. From there it’s Bill Maher defending his second dinner with President Trump. The October 15 White House meal also included Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock. On Real Time Maher opened with “Yeah, I did it again, bitches” and “Fuck you. I like these dinners.” He said he challenged Trump on several topics and that Trump never lost his temper. Trump later posted a long rant calling Maher a complete and total loser.

The guys close on JD Vance’s fading chances for a 2028 presidential run, Clavicular giving young men advice on wearing lifts and heightmaxxing without getting called out and the death of classic dating in the online dating universe — apps, filters, and the shift from meeting someone to optimizing for the algorithm.

The Dudes open on the image of the laid-back Parisian lifestyle that turns into the longer argument about what rapid immigration has done to French culture. Recent unrest in the banlieues and student protests that spilled into looting put the question back on the table. Trump said Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon and told Macron to close the borders. Seine-Saint-Denis keeps showing up as the flashpoint.

Later, the fellas break down the effects of uncontrolled immigration across the European Union. Irregular crossings are down from recent peaks, but the politics keep getting sharper. The Commission is expanding Frontex’s role in deportations. From there it’s Polish MEP Dominik Tarczyński on Piers Morgan Uncensored. He said Islam is not compatible with Western values, that he would ban Muslims from entering Poland, and that “France has fallen, it’s done and it’s too late.” When Morgan called him a bigot he answered, “It’s better to be a bigot than a sellout to Qataris and Jihadists.” He also made the reciprocity point on mosques versus churches in Qatar.

The guys close on Frank’s theory that Republican donors have helped push socialist candidates to the top of Democratic tickets so the general election becomes MAGA versus open socialism. Recent filings show outside groups with Republican funding boosting a little-known socialist in a competitive Senate race. Then public schools closing across the country — Olathe, Kansas, shutting six schools; LAUSD enrollment down from more than 700,000 to under 400,000. They wrap on the workplace reality that personality now outweighs experience. The résumé still matters, but the person who can sell the idea gets the job over the one who has done the work longer.

Frank and Mike open on turning into old guys stuck listening to the same decades of music, which sparks a bigger conversation about the societal need for men to give up consuming porn and what that shift would actually look like.

They deep dive into the legend of the trumpets from King Tut’s tomb—including the stories of their unique sound and the curses tied to the discovery—then break down the upcoming Israeli election that will decide Bibi Netanyahu’s political fate and whether he holds onto power. The fellas close out the show on online rumors of an impending nuclear false flag, Bill Gates lamenting the failed COVID vaccine and its shortcomings, and a Parisian couple calmly sipping wine while Paris burns behind them amid the unrest.

Frank and Mike open on rumors Kim Jong Un died of a brain hemorrhage while in China, then dig into a new documentary alleging Lindsey Graham’s male escort escapades and the DOJ investigation into Ilhan Omar allegedly marrying her own brother as part of an immigration fraud scheme.

The dudes break down the documentary’s specific claims about Graham’s alleged activities and walk through the DOJ’s focus on Omar’s alleged family marriage for citizenship purposes, including the reported details around the marriage and the fraud allegations.

They close the show on the Milwaukee Brewers making a World Series run, Kara Swisher calling for formal investigations into Elon Musk, and mail-in ballots trending in favor of raising taxes. Straight dude talk covering the full range of stories from the week.

Frank and Mike open on the rise of new retro slang and how it’s fueling toxic masculinity, with Nick Fuentes making offensive language popular again.

The conversation digs into why old-school, unfiltered talk is coming back, who’s pushing it, and whether the “toxic masculinity” label is just a way to shut down normal male behavior. From there the fellas break down the Committee of 300 and the claims about its long-running control over banks, media, and world affairs. They also look at Sacha Baron Cohen’s experience working with Marvel Comics, including the behind-the-scenes friction and the stories that didn’t make the press tour.

They close with LeBron James ignoring the National Anthem, the WNBA’s decision to deny Enes Kanter Freedom acceptance into the league despite his background, and Mark Zuckerberg appearing on a recent Theo Von podcast while seeming to work overtime at pretending to be human.

Frank and Mike open by roasting Democrats distancing themselves from socialism ahead of the midterms, which quickly turns into the rise of antisemitism and the odds of a Hitler-like candidate winning the 2028 primary.

They then tear into Hassan Piker dressing up as Mao while explaining the mortgage on his $2.7 million mansion, then break down how communism crushed car production in East Germany during the Cold War.

The fellas close with Kid Rock teaming up with Eminem on a new Christian rock album, the Russell Brand rape case heading to trial this week, and No Kings protests conveniently avoiding the Southside of Chicago. Unfiltered takes, zero corporate spin, just two dudes calling the hypocrisy.
