The Dude Man Podcast

The Dudes kick things off with Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump’s growing stack of AI drone bets — Powerus, Unusual Machines, XTEND — and how those companies keep lining up next to Pentagon contracts. That turns into a larger conversation about Ukraine’s record drone swarm on Moscow: hundreds of aircraft, the Kapotnya oil refinery on fire, two dead in the Moscow region, and why long-range cheap dro...

The Dudes open the show on what it actually costs to see live music in Colorado—Ticketmaster fees, Ball Arena get-in prices, and whether a night out still makes sense. Later, the fellas break down the Loop Tour blowup. Macklemore opened for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium (Sept. 4–5), yelled “Free Palestine,” and played “Hind’s Hall.” Patriots owner Robert Kraft barred him from Gillette Stadium, cit...

Jake Tapper is suddenly talking like a 9/11 commission on COVID would be a good idea — after years of the same media machine treating lockdowns, school closures, and “overreaction” talk as fringe. The Dudes kick things off with Tapper’s fly-fishing softball with Gavin Newsom, the hindsight tour on beaches, Purell & schools and why a CNN anchor calling for accountability now still sounds a lot...

The Dudes kick things off with Jeff Goldblum’s Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok—the gold robe, the Sakaar chaos, and why that performance still lives rent-free—then the conversation slams into President Trump’s Friday announcement of a U.S.–Denmark–Greenland Arctic security deal. Trump is calling it “permanent control” over Greenland’s security and “all other needs,” with a ban on adversary bases and...

The Dudes kick it off with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani smiling and hugging it out at the 25th anniversary 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero — while families were still reading the names. Was it a greeting, a laugh, or just another four-second clip the internet turned into a national argument? Mike and Frank walk through the footage, the 110,000-signature petition tel...

Mike and Frank open the show on the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial in Plymouth, Massachusetts — the Massachusetts nurse accused of strangling her three children, the postpartum-psychosis defense, seven days of deadlock, and the one holdout juror who would not fold. The Dudes walk through what that jury room reportedly looked like: pressure on the lone standout, the judge’s Churchill spee...

The Dudes kick things off with Frank’s trip home to Chicago and the eternal flyer argument: is Midway Airport actually easier than O’Hare? That Chicago airport rant rolls straight into a blow-by-blow on encountering racist TSA workers at Midway. Later, the fellas dissect AI CEOs suddenly calling for safety measures to dodge a potential AI apocalypse — the same industry building the thing now askin...

Mike and Frank open on Peter Jackson’s runtime problem: how the Fellowship, Two Towers, and Return of the King trilogy turned movie night into a three-hour commitment and why that still matters when a political meeting treats procedure like scripture. From there they walk through the Chicago DSA / Socialism 2026 gathering — Hasan Piker on the bill, hotel-worker protests outside the Hyatt, mask man...

The Dudes open the show on the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University — the “Freedom Built to Last” memorial, campus shutdown, protests and lookalike stunts — and that conversation opens a wider lane into the Oklahoma City bombing, official stories and what anniversaries do to a country’s memory. Later, the fellas dissect the fights around the 25th anniversa...

The Dudes open the show on the lack of diversity on Denver’s highways — what Frank actually sees on I-25 and I-70 — and that conversation rolls straight into Mike’s hard-earned lesson for young men: how to buy a used truck without getting smoked on price, rust, miles or a lemon with a fresh wax job.  Later, the fellas dissect Kamala Harris’s political rise and the DEI-hiring argument that still fo...

Mike and Frank open the show on the campaign to pull women out of political power — a conversation that slams into the O.J. Simpson murder trial, Nicole Brown Simpson and the media’s favorite charge of White Male Supremacy. Later, the fellas dissect what President Trump’s immigration crackdown is actually doing to Home Depot parking lots and day-labor corners, then break down the long tail of Joe...

The Dudes open the show on Steven Crowder’s fading heat after his infamous divorce — how the old “Change My Mind” machine lost altitude, what the audience actually punished, and why that conversation immediately spills into the Alex Jones vs. Tim Pool feud lighting up X. Secret meetings, Israel accusations, backstabber clips, a bare-knuckle challenge: is this a real rift on the right-wing podcast...

Elon Musk says switching to sustainable energy will not be enough. On X he argued that space satellites to control Earth’s temperature and massive geoengineering will be required — or it will be game over. The Dudes open the show on that post, sentient satellites at Earth-Sun Lagrange points, solar radiation management and whether “tiny adjustments” to incoming sunlight is climate science or a sci...

The Dudes open the show on the rise of socialism in Denver — a new poll putting more Mile High voters in the socialist column than the Republican one, and the aftershock of Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros knocking off longtime Rep. Diana DeGette. That conversation spills straight into Chicago, where Mayor Brandon Johnson is using city contracting power to steer taxpayer work toward Black-owned an...

The Dudes open the show on the lost art of the rock power ballad — the big hair, the big chorus, the lighter in the air — and how 80s hair metal still owns a lane Ye (Kanye West) is filling with allegedly packed stadium dates across the country. Later, the fellas dissect Jelly Roll’s late-night guest-hosting run on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Trump jokes, the on-air tears, and the fan backlash that fol...

Mike and Frank open the episode on the globalist depopulation agenda — the push to shrink the human population while AI robotics and humanoid robots are built to replace the workforce. Later the fellas dissect an allegedly leaked NASA rocket image that ice-wall and Flat Earth researchers say shows the legendary Antarctic ice wall ringing the known continents. Then they break down the deadly Nepal–...

The Dudes open the show on the continuing saga of missing Mitch McConnell — 75 days out of public view after his June collapse, a rehab stint, and an August 6 “recovering at home” statement with no video, no return date, and his office still saying they have “nothing to add.” That rabbit hole spills into Darline Graham, Lindsey Graham’s sister, winning the South Carolina GOP Senate primary after L...

Mike and Frank open this episode on Seattle City Council’s gig-economy rules and what Uber’s own data says they did to ride prices, trip volume, and driver pay. That turns into Frank’s running obsession with drinking less water. Later the fellas dissect Mike’s Army days drinking out of the Water Buffalo, then break down what one man would do in a moment of desperation over a bag of Skittles. They...

The Dudes open with Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White getting shut out of the 2027 WNBA Draft after declaring themselves women — and the neon-green dildo making another unwelcome return to WNBA arenas. Later, the fellas break down the FBI foiling an alleged ISIS-inspired bomb plot targeting New York and the bureau seizing Eric Swalwell’s phone and laptops after newly released files on his entang...

The Dudes open the show on the lost art of watching old network TV — which slides into whether Ben Gates is really coming back for another treasure hunt. Later, the fellas dissect Chicago’s daytime-biting mosquito surge and the conspiracy alarms around the World Mosquito Program factory in Colombia, then break down the unusual dynamics between Michelle Obama and her brother on their podcast. The g...

The Dudes open with Mississippi’s education system rising to one of the best in the nation — and the sharp decline in reading and math scores hitting hard in liberal cities like Chicago. Later, the fellas break down Mark Cuban slamming Democratic policies for making Los Angeles unaffordable for his own daughter… while simultaneously endorsing Democratic congressional hopeful James Talarico in Texa...

The guys close out talking...

The Dudes kick off the episode diving into old-fashioned antisemitism before unpacking Jen Psaki’s recent admission on MS NOW that the DNC picks establishment candidates in every primary. Later, the guys break down the celebration over Massachusetts signing abortion up until birth into law, then dig into Stacey Abrams and Kamala Harris agreeing that the American South has lived under soft authorit...

On this episode, Tony joins Frank and Mike to unpack the Luigi Mangione fangirl phenomenon and how it ties into America’s most notorious serial killers. The Dudes then dig into newly released Anthony Fauci COVID-era text messages that appear to acknowledge mRNA vaccine links to miscarriages, and break down the FDA’s approval of a new mRNA-based flu vaccine. Later, Mike shares a surprisingly useful...

The Dudes open with Soundgarden’s 90s classic “Black Hole Sun” which sparks a conversation about the James Webb Space Telescope and how it’s looking back in time across the universe. From there the fellas dig into the claim that human activity is driving planetary climate change, then break down the Candace Owens vs. Andrew Wilson debate over competing theories behind the Charlie Kirk assassinatio...
