A Dude And A Bro Podcast Show

While the Dude and the Bro take some time off in the summer, enjoy an episode that was recorded in March of 2020 right in the thick of the Coronavirus pandemic. Thanks for your continued support and we plan to be back with a brand new season and brand new reviews starting again in July!

This week the Dude and the Bro discuss the fascinating podcast from Dax Shepard and co-host Monica called "Armchair Expert." On this episode, we hyper-focus on a recent show on a segment they often do called "Armchaired and Dangerous" which is a fun show that discusses the mind blowing concept of "Simulation Theory" with friend of the show David Farrier. When one thinks of "Simulation Theory" the easiest explanation is to describe the movie "The Matrix." But Simulation Theory is really just a branch of a common philosophical concept called Existentialism essentially.   We talk about Armchair Expert as a show in general and the Dude and the Bro wax poetic about life, simulation theory, and existentialism! A conversation you won't want to miss! Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

This week we discuss a new offering from PDX Public Radio and Sportswriter Joan Niesen entitled, "CRUSHED."   The Crushed Podcast takes us into the seedy underbelly of Major League Baseball's infamous STEROID scandal in the late 1990's centering around specifically the Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa homerun race of 1998.  Perhaps, a conversation that the Dude and the Bro have been salivating to talk about, we examine what actually constitutes "cheating" in professional sports, and is performance enhancing drugs even considered cheating? Crushed is a fascinating look into the challenging ethical dilemmas that plague professional sports considering there is a ton of money and stakes on the line.  To the fame and fortune, flash in the pan careers, and the injuries, substance abuse, and death of it all, 'Crushed' asks and examines those tough aspects of Baseball.

When we heard that the folks at Barstool Sports were producing a "TRUE CRIME" podcast, our interest immediately was peaked.  When we heard it was going to be hosted by sports broadcaster, Kirk Minihane, we immediately went to review it.  "The Case. [season one: boston]" has us to retracing the steps of the disappearance of 16-year-old of Jennifer Fay of Brockton Massachusetts in 1989.  Kirk Minihane revisits this cold case as it hits home for him being a Boston native and contemporary of Jennifer Fay.   Is this just another a run of the mill true crime show that has oversaturated the podcast-sphere? Or, does the Midas touch of Barstool compounded with the chops of Minihane make this a harrowing and compelling tale of a cold case with unsavory characters that lead you to more unsavory characters as you peel Boston's worst onion back and back? (perhaps that was a tell).  Listen along as the Dude and the Bro give their take on this offering from Barstool. Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

This week The Dude and the Bro review a brand new show that falls in the vane of TRUE CRIME, HISTORY, MYSTERY, and HORROR all in one show. And that is, "Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagen." On this show, we focus on the very first episode Daisy produces entitled "The Watcher House." Strange and Unexplained takes us back to a creepy true to life story of a family that moves into their dream house in a non descript rural New Jersey town and begins to get mysterious letters from what is apparently and obviously a local stalker.   Strange and Unexplained encompasses fascinating true stories that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.  But who is Daisy Eagan?  Who is the target audience for this show and who is the brand of humor supposed to be for that is awkwardly woven in?  The Dude and the Bro explore that and much more this week as we review this new podcast that is blowing up the charts. Also, Please check out the new podcast from Scott & Liam Kelly "Why Do We Say That?" podcast. https://open.spotify.com/show/3LhHcWaF1HijAAERBrhA0X?si=_RFgvzRaQaOOqNM18HxpwQ&utm_source=copy-link For more podcast suggestions and reviews please visit: www.primalstreammedia.com Go to our Anchor page (www.anchor.com) and leave us a message!

On a recent episode of the Spotify iteration of "The Joe Rogan Experience," Joe Rogan comments briefly on about the 42 or so episodes that Spotify has refused to carry in its catalogue.  This has sparked a tremendous amount of speculation and conjecture from fans and media folks alike about the motivations of Spotify and the large $100 million dollar media deal that the streaming media titan has made with the beloved giant of podcasting.  Even after some of the long awaited addressing of the 1000lb elephant in the room, there still remains a ton of questions as to why the episodes have been deleted. Did Joe Rogan have a part in it, and what was the true nature of the $100 Million dollar deal?  The Dude and The Bro discuss this in detail. Also, Please check out the new podcast from Scott & Liam Kelly "Why Do We Say That?"  podcast.      https://open.spotify.com/show/3LhHcWaF1HijAAERBrhA0X?si=_RFgvzRaQaOOqNM18HxpwQ&utm_source=copy-link For more podcast suggestions and reviews please visit: www.primalstreammedia.com Go to our Anchor page (www.anchor.com) and leave us a message!

This week we discuss the No Agenda Podcast.  Hosted by legendary former MTV VJ (Video Jockey for those millennials) Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak who is a legend in the tech and computing field in his own-right.  The show seems to have a very unique cult appeal to it as Curry and Dvorak seek to peak behind the curtain of what they consider a main stream media narrative pulling the levers.  The No Agenda team have successfully built their own pirate ship sailing the choppy waters that is the 21st century media landscape, but do they steer the ship too far course at times?  The Dude and Bro discuss this and much more on this episode.  Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

This week the Dude and the Bro discuss a phenom of a show taking the Podcast-Sphere by storm: "SLEEP WITH ME" This podcast has a mission of helping people with insomnia, those whose mind races at night, and people that have worries and anxiety fall asleep at night.  The show tells a bedtime story and purports to get more "boring" as it meanders on.  Said plainly, it is designed to help you fall asleep.  That's it. However, Is there science behind this?  Is this a show for you?  We discuss the SLEEP WITH ME podcast! Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

This week the Dude and the Bro discuss a new Sirius XM Radio show turned podcast Comedy Gold Minds with Kevin Hart.  Each episode, Philadelphia native Kevin Hart interviews some of the biggest names still going in Comedy.  For our review, we focus on the Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Burr episodes.  In a "PODCAST-SPHERE" where there aren't too many funny shows, is Comedy Gold Minds the gold standard?  Is Kevin Hart too saturated in the entertainment world?  Is there too much comedian "inside baseball" being discussed. The Dude and the Bro dive into all of those questions and more.... Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

Wow, iconic music legend Bruce Springsteen gets together with former President of the United States Barack Obama to record a series of conversations about their lives, music, race, politics, and the state of affairs of the United States.  When we saw this podcast launch, if for nothing else, we were intrigued by what this show would entail.  If you are a fan of Bruce Springsteen and President Obama this is unprecedent access to some really intimate thoughts, if you are not a fan of Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama, then ....this is unprecedented access some really intimate thoughts.  The Dude and the Bro breakdown the rest.

The Dude and the Bro react to Adam Carolla's recent appearance on the Megyn Kelly Show.  Is Carolla being too critical of many teachers and their respective unions holding up our children returning to the classroom? Also, his take on Cancel Culture as we know it, and is AOC's harrowing details of the Jan 6th Capitol riots something that we should commend or empathize with?

On this episode, The Dude and The Bro discuss the podcast: The Edge: Houston Astros.  As the Superbowl has now came and went, the glimmer of sports hope weighs on the emergence of Pitchers and Catchers reporting to Spring Training.  What better way to get ready for the Baseball Season than discussing Baseball!  The Edge, season one, takes us behind the scenes of sports reporter Ben Reiter who famously predicted that the  last place Houston Astros would win the world series YEARS before it happened. "The Edge" is the method and mantra that the organization bestowed throughout it from a top-down organizational philosophy.  But did that win at all cost and get an "edge" by any means manifest itself into the cheating scandal?  This scandal rocked the baseball world following the Astros dominating performances in its subsequent seasons after a history dismal outing the seasons before. The Edge attempts to answer that question. Please support our sponsors Huge thanks to Podcorn for sponsoring this episode.

This week are super stoked to discuss a new podcast taking 2020 now into 2021 by storm.  The All-In Podcast. This podcast takes you behind the scenes of the big tech / big finance world like none other before with industry leaders Chamath Palihaptiya, Jason Calacanis, David Sacks, and David Friedberg.  Not only are they industry veterans, but best friends.  The show covers current events, politics, economics, and culture.  We were blown away with this show and think if you are tired of the tribal, hacky, hyper partisan takes on your news and politics, I think you will find the commentary of these extremely bright and sharp minds refreshing. We go deep into the Robinhood/GameStop brew-ha (Episode 19) and discuss their take on this bizarre occurrence in the markets. Check out our review, then give "All-In" a listen!

In his "State of the Union(Show)" address, Adam lays out some surprising news about the direction of the show.  The next day, Adam interviews his career long co-host Dr. Drew Pinsky about his experience suffering with the Corona virus SARS Covid-19.   Dr. Drew had been under fire in the zeitgeist this year for sort of being skeptical and downplaying the hype surrounding the pandemic.  Many people have ridiculed Dr. Drew by taking pleasure and saw it as cosmic justice that Dr. Drew had been infected.  However, Dr. Drew offers some interesting takes on how the illness has effected him and describes some of the neurological effects it has had on him. Most importantly, Dr. Drew offers some interesting advice on what to do if you think you have been infected with Covid.   Adam and Drew point out that there are a variety of effective therapeutics and fantastic medications that have been implemented to treat Covid patients that are not being discussed in the mainstream media.  Also, the latest on the dust up between David Allan Grier and Adam & Drew What is the direction of the Adam Carolla podcasts?  Has Trump fatigue had an impact on the show?  Has Carolla's political opinions caused a rift between his co hosts Bald Bryan Bishop and News girl Gina Grad?
