    White Men Are Lying About Being Black Women

    The Dudes open on the neocon case for Ukraine’s dirt. Lithium, titanium, graphite, rare earths — Kyiv has claimed roughly 5 percent of the world’s critical raw materials, a chunk of it already under Russian control. Trump sold the U.S.–Ukraine minerals framework as payback for wartime aid and a reconstruction fund; the fellas ask who actually ends up holding the offtake. That turns into Greenland. On September 22 at the UN, Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and Greenland’s Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed a security deal amending the 1951 defense treaty. Two bases — Narsarsuaq in the south, Mestersvig on the east coast — plus an expanded Pituffik Space Base and a Golden Dome slot. Trump called it “permanent control over security.” No sovereignty transfer. Non-NATO adversaries barred from bases and sensitive investments. Same map, different minerals. Later, the fellas break down Trump walking Xi Jinping down the White House Presidential Walk of Fame during the September 24 summit. Two Trump portraits, then a framed autopen where Joe Biden should be. “Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen. It’s Biden.” Xi laughed. The plaque underneath calls Biden the worst president in American history. Granite helipad tour included. From there it’s Sunny Hostin on The View, answering Judge Judy’s praise of America: as a Black woman in the United States she doesn’t do negative self-talk, because she’s criticized constantly and her average has to be excellent. Same week she said her kids took “psychological trauma” at predominantly white private schools. The guys close on women in physical altercations with law enforcement — the bodycam-and-bystander clip circuit, resistance versus force, and who the feed decides is the victim before the report drops. Then a Chicago good Samaritan and a CTA Route 22 bus stuck downtown while a man with a cart blocked the lane. Bystanders watched. One guy walked up, pulled him out of the roadway, belongings scattered, bus rolled. CWBChicago’s read: he was hoping the bus would hit him. No payday. They wrap on Karmelo Anthony. Convicted in June of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf under a tent at a Frisco track meet in April 2025. Thirty-five years. Self-defense claim. Retired Judge Michael Chitty denied the new-trial motion. Trial judge John Roach Jr. was recused. Defense says they’ll take it to the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas. The jury’s verdict still stands.   🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: dudeman@dudemanpodcast.com If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/   Lower Your Brow & Your Expectations

    The Ring Of Death

    The Dudes open on streamflation: too many apps, too many thumbnails, nothing you actually finish. Households stacking 10-plus services, $70 a month, 39% of Americans canceled something in the last six months. Gen Z rewatches old shows to dodge the scroll. That turns into the darker question — when the feed is this loud, who plants the next story. The guys walk the rumor that a false flag is being teed up to flip public opinion on the Iran war: U.S.–Israel strikes since Feb. 28, polls underwater at home and abroad, Tehran running AI-faked victory clips, Washington still trying to sell a war most of the planet already rejected. Later, the fellas dissect Bill Gates on Meet the Press and Ezra Klein. Unchecked AI could “cause a billion deaths.” Kill switch “not enough.” Self-regulation is “insane.” Cyberattacks, bioterror, mass job loss — and he wants Congress in the room. Then the same interview circle: Jeffrey Epstein. Gates says he never victimized anyone, the fundraising pitch was a “complete dead end,” and the time still “helped his reputation.” An outside review put the Foundation in the room with Epstein about 30 times. The warning and the denial land in the same week. The guys close on Last Ditch, the Greenfield, Massachusetts lesbian bar that went mask-optional on Saturday nights to stay solvent. Owner Jackie Matellian posted it “with love” to the “immunocompromised disabled divas.” The comments called it a mass-disabling event and worse. Boston Globe ran it. Ted Cruz piled on. Six years after COVID, one night without a KN-95 became national content. From there it’s DJ Rodfather’s roach protocol — bait the kitchen, don’t fog the whole house — and Xi Jinping’s three-day White House visit: first Washington trip in a decade, two-month trade truce, pandas for Atlanta, Thucydides Trap talk, Taiwan line, almost no Iran or AI deal, next meet set for APEC in November.   🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: dudeman@dudemanpodcast.com If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/   Lower Your Brow & Your Expectations

    We Need A Millennial On This Podcast

    The Dudes open on the real genesis of Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” That turns into a larger conversation about how Mike Tyson put the song back in the bloodstream: The Hangover, 2009, air-drumming the fill in a Vegas suite. Rolling Stone called it the moment the fill went immortal.  Later, the fellas deep-dive a stack of half-forgotten Hollywood titles and land on Michael Douglas in Joel Schumacher’s Falling Down (1993). William “D-FENS” Foster walks off an L.A. freeway in a heat wave and spends one day collecting every petty grievance in the zip code. Robert Duvall as Prendergast. “I’m the bad guy?” A number-one movie that got filed as a vigilante fantasy instead of a warning. The guys close on digital polyculture — one country, a dozen feeds. Exhibit A: Lindsay Clancy. From there it’s Family Guy’s “Back to the Pilot”: Brian stops 9/11 and the country eats itself anyway. Seth MacFarlane missed American Airlines Flight 11. They wrap on the Jan. 6 clip circuit — MAGA hats in the Capitol, “undercover agent” overlays, Speaker Johnson’s footage dump — stacked against the DOJ inspector general: no undercover FBI employees in the crowd, 26 confidential sources in D.C., four inside the building, none authorized to go in or egg anyone on. 🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: dudeman@dudemanpodcast.com If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/   Lower Your Brow & Your Expectations

    And Remember The Microphone

    The Dudes open on Macklemore announcing a Free Palestine Tour after getting cut from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour. MetLife, “Free Palestine,” “Hind’s Hall,” NFL stadiums blinking, openers walking, Sheeran blaming promoters. Ten days later: Dublin 3Arena Oct. 26, Paris Accor Arena the 29th, London’s OVO Arena Wembley the 30th, U.S. dates coming, tickets Sept. 30. Proceeds to Gaza Soup Kitchen, Anera, PCRF, JVP, UNRWA USA and the rest. That turns into the larger argument that Palestine has never existed as a sovereign nation-state — Roman Syria Palaestina, Ottoman provinces, British Mandate passports, Golda Meir in 1969, and Arab leaders in the 1930s calling it southern Syria. Later, the fellas dissect Greta Thunberg calling Ed Sheeran spineless: bigger platform, bigger responsibility, “silence is complicity,” “you cannot be neutral in a genocide.” Then they break down touring as a loyalty test. Damon Albarn and Gorillaz opened the U.S. Mountain tour at Orlando’s Kia Center on Sept. 17, held up a Palestinian flag, and told the room, “Don’t ever be neutral.” The guys close on Benjamin Netanyahu’s Sept. 24 UN General Assembly speech — walkouts in the hall, elections hanging over every line. Outside, a Jewish Voice for Peace sit-in on First Avenue. NYPD zip-tied roughly 100 people, including Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder. Cynthia Nixon, Chelsea Manning, Chi Ossé, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus were in the mix. They wrap with Candace Owens’ never-ending Charlie Kirk murder mystery: Kirk shot at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, Tyler Robinson charged, prosecutors stacking video, DNA and an autopsy — while the fangirl lore still wants a patsy, an exploding mic, and Israel in the credits.   Thank you for listening and supporting the show.   🎙 Full Episode: → YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/hlJcRRFQw3g → Rumble: https://rumble.com/TheDudeManPodcast/live Subscribe & Follow: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@dmpstudios Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheDudeManPodcast Website: https://www.dudemanpodcast.com/ X:   / dudeman_podcast     / dudemanpodcast1   Email: dudeman@dudemanpodcast.com If you're in the Bradenton or Tampa Bay area and are in need of an on-site fiberglass & gelcoat repair specialist: Bandana Man: Visual Marine Repair  https://www.bandanamanrepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Bandana-Man-Visual-Marine-Repair/61578067983913/   Lower Your Brow & Your Expectations

    Just The Beef

    Mike and Frank open the show on why losing weight in Chicago feels impossible — deep-dish, late nights, and a city that treats “just walk more” like a personality. That turns into a bigger rant on groceries sealed in plastic, microplastics, and whether the packaging is doing as much damage as the food. Later, licensed Chicago plumber Mike walks through the chaos Indian restaurants inflict on pipes, grease traps, and building stacks — the stuff inspectors and landlords never put on the menu. Then the guys break down a new wave of reporting on GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide) and rare but confirmed cases of sudden vision loss, including NAION, the “eye stroke” now showing up in studies, lawsuits, and European warning labels. They close on Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker going public about his 80-pound GLP-1 weight-loss after a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis — and what that signals for a possible 2028 run — plus the most overpriced caviar in Las Vegas and a theory that the DNC is floating Abdul El-Sayed to test the water for an AOC 2028 presidential bid.

    She’s Thirty Five

    The Dudes open the show on the sudden lack of chemtrails over Tel Aviv — empty skies that don’t match the usual spray pattern — and that kicks off a larger conversation about Tom Cruise’s American Made, the Barry Seal story Hollywood sold as a wild caper. The real thread is the CIA pipeline: guns south to the Contras, cocaine north from the Medellín cartel, Mena, Arkansas as the hub, and Iran-Contra as the official cleanup name for something much uglier. Later, the fellas dissect the Hollywood-ization of real operations — how a Cruise vehicle turns gunrunning and coke flights into a charming rogue-pilot movie and buries the conspiracy in plain sight. Then they break down Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding to Bettina Anderson and the ProPublica reporting that Putin-tied Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, head of the International Boxing Association, covered hundreds of thousands in island rental, fireworks, and after-party costs through a Dubai-linked entity. The guys close out the show on the unverified rumor that Xi Jinping suffered a stroke or mini-stroke at the September BRICS summit in New Delhi, what it would mean if aging world leaders are quietly swapped for harder-line replacements, and Kim Yo-jong’s climb inside the Workers’ Party as Kim Jong Un’s sister and possible contingency power in North Korea.

    You Know They Haven’t Eaten In A Couple Hours

    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 drones now matter more than the next fighter jet. Later, the fellas dissect the Lindsay Clancy mistrial in Plymouth. Holdout juror Michael Péguy Desronvil finally speaks: he says he never had reasonable doubt, the other eleven “cut him off,” and he would not sign not guilty by reason of insanity after the Massachusetts nurse was accused of strangling her three kids. Then they break down Gayle King on CBS Mornings going quiet when fellow juror Paula Devlin confirmed the lone holdout was also the only Black man on the panel — “Whoa, I have to sit with that for just a second.” The guys close out the show on Sydney Sweeney’s nearly-nude Novig sports-betting campaign, the female-athlete pile-on (“this is what women in sport look like”), and whether the outrage is about objectification or just another ad that worked. From there it’s Nike’s multi-year stock collapse, leftover DEI baggage, the Converse ad mess and Colin Kaepernick pushing back after AOC called “Woke 1” crazy — arguing the label is a right-wing frame, not the work itself.

    You’re The Useful Fool

    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, citing recent stage remarks plus a “broader history of antisemitic rhetoric.” Other NFL stadiums followed. Macklemore was cut from the remaining U.S. dates. Then Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe, and Sheeran’s touring band Beoga walked off in protest. Sheeran said the promoter made the call. The internet made him the story anyway. The guys close out on the money behind the anti-AI and data-center protests—Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, U.K. climate foundations and the Neville Roy Singham network on one side, Amy Kremer’s Humans First rallies on the other—plus the first-20-months inflation comparison between Biden and Trump 2.0 (Joint Economic Committee: roughly $2,881 less in extra household costs under Trump), and Anthropic’s September 2026 threat report: China, Russia, Iran, and a Yemen weapons cell using Claude for cyber ops, surveillance, missile guidance, and other work the company says it shut down.
