Pridham and Sheafe
David Pridham and Brad Sheafe are big wheels in the world of Intellectual Property. Protecting IP… negotiating licenses on behalf of IP clients… buying up IP’s. Having built one of the world’s largest intellectual property licensing companies, the pair know a lot about business. They also have a keen sense for politics – and how politics can impact business. Where other political shows are exclusively about politics, Pridham and Sheafe connect the dots between government policies, headline politics and growing your business. The two get political…They talk social issues. They jump headfirst into today’s headlines. It’s like listening i...

Ep. 329 - Alls Fair in Love and Cannons
<b>Ep. 329 - All's Fair in Love and Cannons</b><br /><br />The boys are back and waste no time on the JP Morgan fiasco featuring an office sex slave, Viagra pellets, and seductive cannons. From there it’s full clown world: a Kamala donor sprints through a metal detector at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner waving a shotgun while the President, VP, and half the succession line sip cocktails in the same Hilton where Reagan got shot. Then a California winery millionaire gets trampled to death by the very elephants he flew to Africa to murder for sport. Nature keep...
Ep. 328 - Best Of Running on Chalupas
<b>Ep. 328 - Best Of: Running on Chalupas and Other Existential Regrets</b><br /><br />David and Brad are still deep undercover on a global fact-finding mission. While the boys gather fresh intel, here’s some of the best clips from recent episodes.<br /><br />First, we harken back to the Taco Bell Ultramarathon, where runners are required to choke down burritos, chalupa supremes, and Baja Blast without launching a tactical rear-guard action. They also watch a pack of middle-aged white ladies in yellow windbreakers block traffic to protest a king who (checks notes) still doesn’t exist. Then settle in f...
Ep. 327 - Best Of: Sombreros, Subpoenas, and Scandals
<b>Ep. 327 - Best Of: Sombreros, Subpoenas, and Scandals</b><br /><br />Some podcasts do a Best Of to celebrate. David and Brad do one because the evidence needed to be organized. Judges demanding biological proof of French first ladies. Presidents trolling Congress with sombreros. A Biden portrait that's just a picture of a machine. Pull up a chair, because the archive is undefeated and the world has only gotten weirder since.
Ep. 326 - A Ballooning Problem
<b>Ep. 326 - A Ballooning Problem</b><br /><br />The trouble with keeping something big under wraps is that eventually, the bubble bursts. Case in point, Bryon Noem, husband of the former Secretary of Homeland Security, was quietly sending tens of thousands of dollars to fetish models and circulating photos of himself in fake balloon boobs across the internet until, inevitably, it all came out. When confronted, he simply said, "I don't care." Congress, meanwhile, has run the national debt from $3.3 trillion in 1990 to $38.5 trillion today, left the Department of Homeland Security completely unfunded, and fled Washington. Just ask Lindsey...
Ep. 325 - Full Metal Cornhole
<b>Ep. 325 - Full Metal Cornhole</b><br /><br />Europe watches from the sidelines as the United States proceeds to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, and somewhere in the New Mexico desert, a retired general is wandering around looking for alien debris. Meanwhile, a quadruple amputee (and champion cornhole player) committed, executed, and survived a murder with more operational competence than NATO has shown in years.
Ep. 324 - Looks Like A Duck
<b>Ep. 324 - Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck</b><br /><br />Brad and David cut through the fog on the Strait of Hormuz, where tankers sit idle because insurers won’t risk Iranian drones. The same reluctance shows up at home: repeated attacks tied to radical Islam get soft-pedaled as “vehicle incidents” or “motives unclear,” even when the perpetrators shout their ideology loud and clear. From campus stabbings to synagogue car-rammings, the pattern is obvious, but naming it doesn’t fit the preferred narrative.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Homeland Security sits unfunded, TSA lines drag, and we’re left all alone...
Ep. 323 - A Troika of Geniuses
<b>Ep. 323 - A Troika of Geniuses</b><br />This week, three of Congress's sharpest legal minds requested a deposition with Hillary Clinton, took a victory selfie beforehand, and proceeded to get absolutely folded in half by a 77-year-old woman before the first hour was up. A masterclass in prosecutorial precision, just not theirs.<br /><br />Kristi Noem, widely regarded as one of the great strategic communicators of her generation, spent $220 million explaining to America how great she was, and was rewarded accordingly. Her successor is a former MMA fighter who once attempted to resolve a Senate hearing in the...
Ep. 322 - Best Of
<b>Ep. 322 - It's the Bounce You Have to Worry About [Best of IP…Frequently]</b><br /><br />David's on the road taking the pulse of America, so we're raiding the vault. This week's best-of serves up the WNBA's bright green dildo epidemic, an 80-something German named Helmet Hammerhand crushing 293 walnuts in 60 seconds with a raw egg in his fist, the half-billion-dollar Trump judgment that an appellate court quietly reduced to zero, Letitia James and Adam Schiff's shared talent for mortgage fraud, and a NASA asteroid alert designed to alarm you and reassure you in the same breath.
Ep. 321 - Silence of the Diagnoses
<b>Ep. 321 - Silence of the Diagnoses</b><br /><br />A man in a wig shoots up his kid's hockey game, and the one thing you cannot say is the most obvious thing in the room. David and Brad trace the through-line from the Rhode Island rink to Canadian schools to the Trump shooting and ask: if this were the Gambino family, would we notice a pattern? Spoiler: yes. Also: the Savannah Guthrie disappearance, homeless New Yorkers dying on Mamdani's watch, and why what’s coming down the pike might also be coming down the pipe.
Ep. 320 - Seizing the Means of Sanitation
<b>Ep. 320 - Seizing the Means of Sanitation</b><br /><br />New York's communist mayor can't plow streets or pick up trash, giving New Yorkers a genuine taste of a political philosophy that has literally never worked. Meanwhile, 3 million pages of Epstein documents somehow only put one person behind bars. Plus: a perplexing kidnapping, one man's catastrophic luck at presidential events, and the latest odds on the Second Coming. Your weekly reminder that the justice system works great…just not for you.
