In this throwback episode, we revisit the father-and-son podcast where my son and I chat about video games and sports, covering everything from Madden to the NFL to the NBA. It’s a pretty wide-ranging show, and I hope you enjoy it.

In my longest solo episode yet, I dive into two podcasts—The Tim Dillon Show and The Kyle Kulinski Show—calling out the nonsense and fact-checking their takes on the Iran conflict and the accusations they make against the administration, all in an epic hour and forty-five minutes.

You know that feeling when it seems like someone is watching you? That eerie moment when the hair on your neck stands up and you get goosebumps? That’s exactly how I felt listening to Dan Bongino basically use the same concept I had talked about the day before.

What if Trump was doing all of this on purpose? What if he was actually trying to turn the global economy upside down? I have a theory that explains it all, along with some podcast topics I need to get off my chest.

The Trump administration and Iran have reached a tentative ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, the usual figures from the Democratic side are expressing what seems like exaggerated outrage over the situation, even calling for the president’s removal.
