The Viva La Dude podcast features unsolicited and unnecessary commentary on current events, culture, politics, and lifestyle from a dudely perspective. Brought to you by the guys your gf told you not to worry about, the podcast has been described by The New York Times as "Beavis and Butthead go to grad school."
Breaking rules is the most important education one can get. Implications are discussed. We also debate child care policies and the best character actors, briefly discuss the NBA playoffs, and review Apple TV's Severance. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vivaladude/message

We're back from our bye week, folkxs. We talk about the best kept secret in the parenting world: they have favorite children, hold an On The Podium: Basic White Bitch Anthems Edition, and develop the theory of the One Way Doppelgänger--when person A looks like person B but not vice versa, which we conclude is largely determined by relative attractiveness.
Critically acclaimed, what many consider the best episode of season 3, we dive into genealogy and explore whether the premise of becoming one's own grandpa is possible, a major plot point of 1995's The Stupids. Then we dive into some current events, I have a quasi-existential breakdown, and wax philosophical on the cultural import of dumb smart-guy movies such as Boondock Saints and Joker.

In this episode, we begin by complaining about the monopolized internet service provider industry. Then we pivot and announce our respective and official retirements from certain activities, debate the merits of walking on all fours as a way to get jacked and vascular forearms, consider the Copenhangen Interpretation of Ethics--which essentially says anyone who tries to solve a problem will end up being blamed for that very problem--and finally conclude with an On The Podium of companies with the worst customer service.
