Ep. 232 - The Irony of Ignorance: Universities and Mob Rule
In this eye-opening episode of IP...Frequently, David and Brad tackle a concerning trend sweeping across university campuses nationwide. Recent protests have shown a startling support for Hamas and its actions, revealing a deep disconnect between the protesters' understanding of the group they are endorsing and the harsh realities of its ideologies. The irony is stark: many of these students, advocating for a cause they believe to be just, are unaware that the Hamas terrorists that they support would enthusiastically slit their throats in return.
The discussion dives into the disturbing escalation of violence among these protesters. As campuses become battlegrounds for ideological conflicts, the implications for the future of the United States are profound. David and Brad explore what this means for free speech, the cultivation of critical thinking in our academic institutions, and how such movements could shape the political and social landscape of the country.
Tune in to hear a frank conversation about the consequences of ignorance in activism, the importance of educating our youth about the complexities of international conflicts, and what can be done to address this growing divide.

Fresh off a whirlwind tour which included a viral Chick-fil-A visit, former President Donald Trump is facing yet another round of legal troubles.

Ep. 229 - Are you suffering from TDS?
The latest polls in battleground states show Trump in the lead, driving a large percentage of people in this country to the point of near madness. Does the very idea of Donald Trump rile you up? Do you begin conversations talking about the weather and find yourself foaming at the mouth because of the former President’s latest scandal? If so, you might suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS.

Ep. 227 - I Want a New Guy

Ep. 226 - In the Name of Progress
America may be known as the land of the free, but lawmakers are restricting our freedom to enjoy such pastimes as moose dropping, bull snipping, chicken greasing, and dwarf tossing. Is this really progress, America? We think not. Also in this episode, we cover scandals happening across the pond with the Royal family.
Ep. 225 - May the best candidate win
There’s a high altitude balloon spying the skies of Wyoming, our adversaries are building a nuclear power plant on the moon, and this country’s leadership is driving the cost of a double cheeseburger north of $20.

Ep. 220 - Nobody Is Voting For Anything
With the 2024 US Presidential election looming, the two strongest contenders so far are Donald Trump and Joe Biden. What this unfortunate fact says about our nation is that people aren’t voting FOR someone, but rather AGAINST someone else. Dive in as Brad and David talk politics, ski resorts, arctic zombie viruses, and more.
Ep. 219 - I Would Love That
It’s been another crazy week in our crazy world, but David and Brad are here to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Ep. 214 - It Depends on the Context
Is there a chance Vladimir Putin won’t win the reelection he’s orchestrating? Did Hollywood celebrities use directed energy weapons in Maui? Did Harvard, MIT, and Penn University Presidents really use the phrase “it depends on the context” when asked if calling for genocide of Jews was against their code of conduct? It’s a crazy world we live in, but Brad and David are here to separate fact from fiction.
Ep. 213 - Dead and Alive
Amidst the backdrop of the 60th anniversary of JFK’s assassination, new evidence surfaces, suggesting discrepancies in JFK's bullet wounds compared to the official report.

Ep. 208 - A Terrorist Problem
You’d think the world would outright condemn the atrocities Hamas terrorists have committed. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Ep. 205 - Not illegal, just a little rude
Hotels across the nation are fully booked, in some cases because people with titanium status get whatever they want, and in other cases because people are bussed into a city and need a place to stay. Who are these people, and how does one get titanium status? Tune in for that and other pressing issues facing our nation, right here on IP…Frequently.
Ep. 204 - Scandal in the House of Burgesses

Ep. 203 Wastin' away again
After reminiscing about Jimmy Buffet, David and Brad turn their attention to the upcoming Presidential election, and the future looks grim.

In other perplexing news, a self-proclaimed shark expert blames humans for causing anxiety in the shark population, and a World War I artillery shell is discovered buried deep in the most unlikely of places.
Ep. 202 - Bringing Down the House
Houses, if well-maintained, can be functional for hundreds of years. The House of Representatives, on the other hand, cannot. With so many octogenarian senators finding it difficult to perform their civic duties, it may be time to again consider term limits. David and Brad discuss this and other news that business owners need to know, right here on IP…Frequently.

Pop some corn and prepare to reminisce as we bring you some of the best segments from the past one hundred IP…Frequently episodes.
Ep. 199a - Credit Crunches and Billionaire Brawls

Whether you’re traveling a few trillion miles or a few hundred, it’s always good to be prepared in case you get stranded. This includes charting out gas stations to ensure you’re not hiking in 110 degree West Texas heat, and also not getting captured by unnamed US governmental agencies. In this episode, David and Brad discuss the recent Congressional hearing about UAPs. Is it all a big cover up, or just a bunch of crazies who are making things up?
Ep. 197 - Force Majeure
Today, we delve into the journeys of two industry titans, David Pridham and Brad Sheafe, and uncover the events that shaped their remarkable careers.

Ep. 196 - Don’t they have cameras in the White House?
Who’s responsible for the baggie of cocaine in the White House? Does plastic melt in an air fryer? Do dwarves have to be short? It seems these should all have simple, straightforward answers. But this is 2023, and nothing is simple anymore.
Ep. 195 - High and Dry (with no wifi)
Brad is high and dry (with no wifi) in the Rocky Mountains, but that won’t stop him from giving the people what they want. And what they want is more IP…Frequently. This week, David and Brad unravel the new social media platform called Threads, ponder the consequences of eating 39.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes, and get to the bottom of the White House cocaine baggie.
Ep. 194 - Conspiracies and body doubles
Brad and David are back at it, smoking out the deep-state and blowing the whistle on the issues that Americans need to know about. In this episode, you’ll get informed about the superdelegate controversy, UFO sightings, recent Supreme Court rulings, shirtless RFK Jr., Putin body doubles, and more.
Ep. 186 - Anything But The Truth
Truth is overrated. Since people don’t really care for truth, the media helpfully curates the news to only show us what we want to see. Illegal immigration is down 90%, President Biden is so focused on his job that he, unfortunately, can’t participate in debates, and interviews with 2024 Presidential candidates are scrubbed to only show the good bits.
Ep. 185 - Drop the Anchors
It’s been a tumultuous month for news media personalities, with both CNN and FOX parting ways with their popular anchors. What will the future hold for how people get their news?

Ep. 182 - Indicted
A former U.S. President is in hot water, and we’re not talking about Bill Clinton. This week, David and Brad tackle Trump’s indictment, what it means for him, and what it portends for all the other politicians who have paid off women to sign NDAs (and there are a lot of them). Meanwhile, stories of more significance (like the U.S. Army missing recruitment goals by 50%) barely raise an eyebrow on the national stage.
Ep. 181 - A skewed view of reality
David and Brad tackle the AI chat phenomenon and discover its responses to political and social issues to be a bit one-sided. Could this be due to companies like Google feeding AI only what they believe to be true?
