Pod Fiction

Oh man do we love summer! Vacation made easy. We're back after a week off, with some absolute nonsense. Is not being able to smell a thing? Are those people discriminated against? Do toddlers take the biggest poops of all time? These are questions we often ask ourselves and we hope you ask them of yourselves too.  The Lychee and Dog Meat Festival, in Yulin, Guangxi, China, is insanity and we want to talk about it. And to clear shit up now, we did NOT know "Lychee" was a fruit and not a place. The festival began in 2009 and spans about ten days during which it is estimated that 10,000–15,000 dogs are eaten. Dogs. They eat dogs. My best friend is my dog. It is our dream to save them all.   As racism creeps back into our podcast lives we begin a conversation on the topic of men. Men fight, a lot. Its in our DNA, at least evolutionary psychology says that it is. That our most barbaric ancestors passed down violent tendencies spanning generations. Just thinking about scenarios in which we may have to fight will ra

Politically correct? Probably not. Our apologies to Cardi B, nothin but love for ya, you just scare us a little. Is it racist to use a southern accent in contempt? We'll find out. As unpopular an opinion it may be, we intimately believe that punching a nazi is for the greater good. We demonize groups like Antifa for violent tactics while forgetting the violence that made groups like the kkk, infamous. The 1st amendment is and should be protected ultimately and persistently, but violent movements that aren't met with their match immediately, grow, while slowly it grows into what we have seen more than once through out history but 1940s Germany comes to mind. Just our opinion. 

Most people think that Top Ramen is the go to for poor people, we say its buttered tortillas. Ketchup, honey, stale tortilla chips, butter, these are the staples of a poor family's kitchen. Does pineapple belong on pizza? Are bloody marys part of a juice cleanse? Our views on life may be a little skewed but they make more sense than the continental army protecting airports.  Day in and day out we as a people are stuck on a never ending hamster wheel, like perpetual motion powered by a continuous natural force. We sweat, bleed, cry and beat ourselves down consistantley to make people whom we have never met, rich. Wanna skip college and get a job? Fucked. Maybe you do want to go to college, except that leads to a slightly better job. Fucked.  This domination only breaks when more and more people realize that happiness doesnt stem from how much money someone can pay you but from the freedom of being able to choose. Also, Ursula was purple, who the fuck is gonna portray her? #ebonyariel

Happy 4th of July, a holiday celebrating treason. Before we get in to the concentration camps of Texas we legitimately discuss finding your kids porn collection, even though that would be hard to do these days. Porn is creating an actual fear for step moms every where and really is leading to the #himtoo movement.  Clint Texas, the concentration camp of the 21st century. Kids sleeping on concrete, with no access to anything, especially their family and including a toothbrush is the 'new way to say this is 1942 Germany. At some point we all will have to realize that humans are humans and persecuting them to the enth degree is doing nothing more than creating the next level of hate. How many tries do we get? Subscribe where ever you listen to podcasts. Remember we aren't just dumb, its by design. 

We're back! Unfiltered because it makes us laugh.  We discuss the difference between polyamory and polygamy because Brandon watched a fuckin T.V. show on shitty CBS. Also Remington is polyamorous, so put that in your pipe and love whoever you want to.  Although neither of us really understand how taxes work, which is a tragedy in itself, but one of us believe they're probably necessary and the other wants to protect his land from thievery.  Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to the podcast wherever you listen! Leave a review if you hated us and don't if you laughed, cause that's how it works, right? People are only motivated to leave reviews when they're pissed off, I mean I love Chili's but according to Google every Chili's ever is... just the worst.  DUMB BY DESIGN PRODUCTION 

The name is changing but we are sticking around! Dumb by design is a brand that we are building and changing the podcasts name was a final step towards that.  The two of us have an opinion on just about everything, they are NOT ALWAYS well informed opinions but they are our own, and we intend to vomit them all over the mic. This is not to say our opinions do not evolve. Evolution is a part of life. Our views on: Politics Social issues Romance Monogamy the Environment What it means to be a man in today's society Psychedelics Dystopian futures Other shit And more than likely we will continue to evolve as is inevitable.   

A little true crime on this episode for ya - The Dominican Republic are some assassins. And later in the episode we discuss wages in the workplace and pay transparency.  Hit the subscribe button on your way out! 

Single, dating, married, or married with children (Al Bundy is not what we're talking about). If you're single you might think you're getting it all the time, but you're not. You're not really getting it until you're doing it out of boredom. "You wanna bone?" "Might as well, nothing else to do.".    Pod Fiction will be changing to DUMB BY DESIGN in the coming weeks/months. Keep an eye out for the change so to stay subscribed and to keep from missing new episodes!  SUBSCRIBE, SHARE, LISTEN!

It's only kinda funny that two white guys are speaking so confidently about a bunch of different forms of discrimination.. kinda funny. Please, feel free to not be too offended by our jokes, or don't not do that, whatever.    Don't forget to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.

We know we know... deevolutionizing isn’t a word, or is it? Remington’s a fat kid so he’s allowed to tease. Brandon is just a really great friend. Smaller brains, fatter bodies and a few headlines to laugh at. Happy National Old Maids Day.    Subscribing is good for your health and adds years to your life (probably not true). SUBSCRIBE!!

The wealth gap in America is huge... like its a large gap. On this episode we tell a bunch of stupid jokes and laugh about an invisible friend, and then get super serious talking about stats that are actually pretty fucked up. We are not socialists and capitalist is a strong word. SUBSCRIBERS! STICK WITH US! We aren't going to miss a beat, only the name changes.  Welcome to Dumb by Design.  

POD FICTION UPDATE: We will be changing the name of the podcast from Pod Fiction to our parent company's name 'Dumb by Design'. We plan to keep all episodes etc and will have more info soon.    On this episode the guys continue to rant about nothing until deciding to take on the social issue of Guns in America. Yippiekayyay Mother Fucker.    SUBSCRIBE WHEREVER YOU LISTEN! 

As a small apology to ourselves for not releasing a couple Tuesday episodes over the last few weeks, we decided to give you a BONUS episode.. Not sure if the math works out but okie dokie. The episode title says it all, just a bunch of shit in a bag.   HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! SUBSCRIBE! DUMB BY DESIGN COMING SOON! 

You're in the thick of shit. Which would rather have your back, a testosterone filled, pimple faced, child? Or a weathered, leather skinned, angry at the world, Clint Eastwood Gran Torino type? We're of the opinion that you shouldn't be eligible for war until 55. White women don't age well, why wouldn't men be pissed off?  SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES, SPOTIFY, STITCHER AND MORE! 

One of us was a little too quick to jump on the Manson train, and the other has subconsciously embodied the female collective. Mushrooms are decriminalized in Denver and Jon Snow probably wishes he just had a really bad trip. We go for broke in this latest episode, as if that's not a thing they do. Stay tuned through the end to hear us actually talk about something serious.  PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW US ON TWITTER @Pod_Fiction

These guys think bringing a knife to a gun fight is a good idea. Its not. Its not a good idea. Headline speculations take a slight turn this episode when Brandon starts reading articles. Finally, the guys living in the real wild west compared to inside the HBO series Westworld. Its unanimous, HBO wins again.  Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

Headline speculations continue but the only thing to take away from this episode is if you wanna know what the future is going to be like... watch The Simpsons. There is only one real time traveler and it isnt Antman or any of the Avengers. It isn't Marty McFly. It's Matt fucking Groening. SUBSCRIBE ANYWHERE YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS!

HAPPY FRIDAY! Spoiler alert - The Night Kings killer is a FUCKIN NINJA regardless of what scared little boys on the internet say, and stoners do exercise apparently, only our experience with that is minor.  Just to be clear - The opioid epidemic IS an epidemic. We just believe that we should all admit that the war on drugs was actually a severe epidemic as well... or that we should just incarcerate millions of white people now. Probably both. Enjoy!    Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!!

Annnd we're back! We missed an episode and are late on another but we're back with some same studio magic!  Brandon traveled to Oregon for the weekend and helped Remington clean his garage, shot some fuckin arrows, threw some knives and recorded one hell of an episode!  Space, chickens & elephants, and reincarnation. Remington is Batman and we no longer care if you like us! Still though - SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE!!! 

San Francisco has a poo problem and we should never underestimate the power of porn addiction - our speculations ensue. The hosts banter on about Easter and the relevance the beloved bunny and briefly discuss some of the news revolving the holiday.  SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE. As always, let us know what you think - give us a review!!
