Protecting IP… negotiating licenses on behalf of IP clients… buying up IP’s. Having built one of the world’s largest intellectual property licensing companies, the pair know a lot about business. They also have a keen sense for politics – and how politics can impact business. Where other political shows are exclusively about politics, Pridham and Sheafe connect the dots between government policies, headline politics and growing your business. The two get political…They talk social issues. They jump headfirst into today’s headlines. It’s like listening in on what two businessmen/entrepreneurs have to say about everything going on around them. And like any A-types, David and Brad pull no punches. But they do throw in a lot of humor. So, when you want to practice the best practices as they relate to growing your business…when you want to know how intellectual properties can benefit your company…and when you just want a good laugh – tune in to Pridham and Sheafe – you’re guaranteed to learn and laugh - they're two funny!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 309 - Free Buses","slug":"ep-309-free-buses","published_at":"2025-11-13T03:32:52+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-309-free-buses","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-309-free-buses--68548803","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68548803/ep_309_free_buses.mp3","summary":"Ep. 309 - Free Buses & $30 Burgers: A Socialist Love Story David and Brad dissect New York City's newly elected Marxist mayor and his fever-dream platform of free groceries, $30/hr minimum wages, and replacing cops with social workers armed with hugs. They explore the inevitable exodus of the 1%, calculate the hilarious math on 55% tax rates, and propose walling off Manhattan to trap voters with the consequences of their choices. Plus: the alarming rise of Americans dating AI chatbots, complete with digital jealousy and uncomfortable sushi dates. Spoiler alert—neither socialism nor robot girlfriends lead to increased birth rates, which might solve both problems eventually.","meta_description":"Ep. 309 - Free Buses & $30 Burgers: A Socialist Love Story David and Brad dissect New York City's newly elected Marxist mayor and his fever-dream plat…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2964,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/episodes/ep-309-free-buses/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-309-free-buses.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
