    The Social Cost of Not Drinking

    Hey hey you limp biscuits. Welcome back to Bad Ideas with Big Al and (Emmett). In today’s episode we showcase to you an epidemic, a silent epidemic, an epidemic that most just seem to not want to shed light on. I’m not talking about the next COVID or the peptides. I’m talking about the epidemic of the fellas not going out for a drink anymore. The lack of social battery that is plaguing our generation. The utter and slow trickle of diminishing memories made with the the group chat. It has to end now, otherwise we will turn into the worst types of people. Those squids from your hometown. Don’t let it become you and your friend group. Tune in this week to find out how Alec and Emmett can help you prevent this. I love you all. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Stop Going To Erewhon

    Hey, pickup that shopping basket at a grocery store that's for the people. In this week's episode, we explore the rising trend of Luxury Grocery stores. We discuss the economics behind their rise, the social media influence of those promoting, and why you should not allow your local grocer to fall prey to these taupe colored venture capital backed fruits and vegetables. We even had another substitute teacher Luis Galilei stop by to share some hard knowledge.

    How Private Equity Took Over Sports

    Listen up you Crusaders! Private Equity is destroying everything we know and love. The vest wearing cucks have gotten their grubby hands on pretty much everything that our capitalistic society has to offer. But in most recent developments they’ve been working in the shadows. Hoping we wouldn’t notice. But Big Al noticed. And he’s pissed. And frankly, we all should be.. In today’s Bad Ideas episode featuring Noel Miller, we take a deep dive into how private equity has started to show interest and has created a monopoly in the one element of our society that was truly bi-partisan. Free from the shackles of Blackrock and Palantir and other companies run by liver-spotted hands of the elite cucklords. Mark Zuckerfuck to name a few. That one element we’re talking about is sports. But not just professional sports teams-- no, these scumbags are targeting YOUTH SPORTS specifically. And Alec wants to shed light on this before it gets out of hand. So get a pen and paper, take some notes, and grab a weapon (satire) because after seeing this episode, you may want to break something…or someone for that matter (satire again).

    Property Damage Brothers

    EUGENE, TACOMA, IRVINE, SAN DIEGO ALL COMING UP COME SEE ME LIVE https://punchup.live/alecflynn/tour We are so back people. No Kalshi or Polymarket ads here. No absolute embarrassment of a showing against Belgium here. No corporate sponsored reserved seating at the game here. No private equity company sucking the joy out of your beloved team here. No pop-up accept all cookies tabs and jerkmate ads here. Just two guys sitting down with some iced coffees in the sun, chilling with a grill they don’t use because Alec didn’t bring any food. We are sorry we took such a long break but we are back rejuvenated and ready to create and thrive for the rest of the summer. We wanted to go back to the basics. Back to why we love doing this podcast in the first= place--Alec aggressively monologuing at Emmett in the park under the intense sun. We wanted to give you a virtual hang this summer, you all are always welcome (especially Emmett’s discord kittens). If there is one thing the World Cup has shown the rest of the world it’s that sports bring people together. Well, we don’t have sports here but we do have some laughs and a grill that sometimes cooks food. Beggers can’t be choosers I guess. Get your sunnies and some sunscreen and join us for another beautiful day for hang in the park Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Straight Men Should Watch Bravo

    Don't be shy, lads. Bravo is FTB. In this weeks episode of Bad Ideas, I break down why it's imperative for the boys to be watching a little bit of bravo in their media diet. How we can take examples from the train wrecks of these people's lives and integrate those lessons into our own. Avoid the performative men, stay out of toxic relationships, and be the best versions of ourselves. This information was taken primarily from my own viewing experience and from the rolling stone article by Kristen Lee Yandoli https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/summer-house-west-wilson-bravo-fan-favorite-1235007340/ COME SEE ME LIVE IN GREENVILLE, NASHVILLE, CINCINNATI, EUGENE OR, AND TACOMA https://punchup.live/alecflynn GET THIS SHOW AD FREE: https://tmgstudios.tv/ FOLLOW ME ON: https://www.instagram.com/bigals.grillasmr?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== https://www.instagram.com/bigalflynn/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D# https://www.tiktok.com/@alecflynn?_r=1&_t=ZP-92Fl4peSM8M Learn more about your ad choices.

    Boomers Are Killing Us

    I'm (((this))) close to breaking some hips. This week on bad ideas, we explore the gerontocracy. We deep dive on how the geriatric boomer class has consolidated wealth, political power, and property at the expense of their children and grandchildren. We have to ask ourselves, why wouldn't they lead as good Shepards for a greater American future? The information was garnered from Samuel Moyn's wonderful essay in Harpers titled "The Old Guard: Confronting America's Gerontocratic Crisis" https://harpers.org/archive/2026/05/t...
