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...

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...

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...

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...

However, Is there science behind this?  Is this a show for you?  We discuss the...

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...
