Alan brings together Dr. Lance Timmerman and Dr. Brady Smith for a lunch conversation at VoD Lite 2025. The trio discuss the unique, small-scale nature of the event, which was planned just three weeks beforehand and features a food truck instead of a hotel's expensive catering. Lance and Brady talk about their professional lives, including their pride in their respective hometowns' (Seattle and Portland) high poop-on-the-streets-per-capita and their mutual surprise at the high cost of a hard-boiled egg at hotels. They also delve into their unconventional dental practice models, with Lance discussing his use of the EMS Guided Biofilm machine and Brady explaining his two-day, 32-hour work week and his decision not to hire a hygienist. Their conversation also touches on Brady's side career as a stand-up comedian and the challenges he faces, from dealing with angry hygienists who file board complaints against him to navigating the complex and expensive world of venue rentals.

A group of smart Purdue fans, cloaked in secrecy, makes their predictions about the upcoming season...and BDowd tells you about it

0:00 - Are you a fan of the Home Run Derby? Brett's a derby sicko, Moser hates it, and Vic's somewhere in the middle.20:18 - A few shorts weeks ago, we couldn't BELIEVE the Nuggets established this weird Co-GM Vice Presidents thing. The reaction wasn't particularly positive. Now, after all these roster moves, Nuggets Nation has complete faith in them. Quite the turnaround!35:43 - Rookies are scheduled to report to Broncos training camp tomorrow, and yet multiple Rookies haven't signed a contract yet (including Jahdae Barron and RJ Harvey). We weren't worried about this before. Should we be concerned now?

On todays show James, Dwayne and Tim Green (the Brain Trust) talk about  the aftermath of the Guadalupe flood, with 120 confirmed deaths and over 170 people still missing. The conversation shifted to the Supreme Court, criticizing Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for her incompetence and political bias. They also discussed the Epstein case, speculating on the national security implications and the potential for prosecutions involving high-profile figures like Brennan and Comey. The group debated the effectiveness of tariffs in raising revenue and the impact of the recent budget bill, highlighting the need for strategic decision-making in governance. The discussion centered on the U.S. imposing tariffs on copper exports, citing national security and competitive advantages. Speaker 1 criticized the tariff, suggesting it should be replaced with deregulation to boost domestic production. The conversation also touched on international relations, particularly with Brazil, and the potential for reciprocal tariffs. Additionally, they discussed a federal court case involving a Maryland man, Garcia, charged with serious crimes and the complications arising from his immigration status. The Biden doctor's refusal to testify about President Biden's mental capacity was also debated, highlighting issues of executive privilege and patient confidentiality. Don't miss it!

0:00 - We're gettin' the band back together! Tyler and Scotty are back on the show. What do they think of everything that's happened to the Nuggets in the past week or so?16:00 - Our real enemy in the Valanciunas fight isn't Greece as a whole. It isn't Lithuania. So who is it?35:08 - The Nuggets completely overhauled their coaching staff after the new Brain Trust took office. Are we surprised by that at all? Should we be?

0:00 - Yesterday, Michael Porter Jr was traded to Brooklyn AND the Nuggets brought back Bruce Brown. Happy trails, MPJ. We wish you the best. No hard feelings on our end. Good luck in the Big Apple.20:11 - With the moves that happened yesterday, do you have any more faith in the New Nuggets Two-Headed brain trust?35:48 - After offloading MPJ's salary, the Nuggets have a good chunk of cap space to play with. They hae room to make even more changes to this roster.

My special guest is author Peter Kirby who's here to discuss his book Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project.Every applicable government agency and almost all mainstream media outlets claim that chemtrails are merely a ‘conspiracy theory.' They say that the lines in the sky are harmless condensation trails and that jet aircraft have always produced emissions that can linger in the sky for hours as they spread out and form a hazy cloud-cover. They say that anybody who asserts that aircraft are routinely spraying us with toxic materials is crazy. If this is so, then why are we consistently seeing anomalously high levels of toxins in rainwater samples as well as in ambient air samples? Why are there hundreds of scientists and scores of scientific organizations advocating for spraying substances from aircraft and calling it ‘geoengineering?' The Brain Trust has a LIMITED NUMBER of available spots.

Fingers crossed! The H.O.R.N. Brain Trust may have solved the crazy file size problem. Please let me know.  Chuckles Grassley gets an earful in Iowa. Our betters say "I told you so" to the MAGATS trashing immigration law. B-T-W: there's a difference between "scare" and "terrorize." ICE kidnaps another innocent . . . an NYC teenager who fled Venezuela with his daddy. He's in El Shitholador now. Judge Xinis grows impatient with pettifogging DoJ pettifoggers. And a discussion arises about the ideological purity of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.   The funding deficit is getting bad. Halfway through April, and almost the entire month is unfunded. The program is, and always is free, but it does take money to pay the bills. Can you help one of the oldest independent progressive broadcasts stay afloat?
