The Gedunk Show

🇺🇸 The Gedunk Podcast with Dan & Bobby is back, and we’re diving straight into the aftermath of the November 2025 elections — the wins, the losses, and the warning signs both parties should be paying attention to.

In this episode of The Gedunk Podcast, Dan and Bobby dive deep into the shifting sands of American politics — is the MAGA movement finally losing its grip?

Tune in for a candid, veteran-led discussion on whether the fever is really breaking — and if unity is finally within reach.

Why do we demand accountability from coaches—but not from the people who actually run the country? In this episode of The Gedunk Podcast, Dan and Bobby tackle one of society’s biggest double standards: the culture of excellence in sports versus the culture of excuses in politics, education, and leadership. We break down: ⚖️ Why firing a coach for losing is normal—but politicians failing their communities face no consequence 🧠 What this says about American values and our definition of “performance” 🗳️ How sports culture could teach politics something about accountability and results 🏆 What true leadership standards should look like across every field 🎙️ Tune in for thoughtful conversation, humor, and the kind of real talk you only get from veterans who’ve led teams on and off the field.

In this episode of The Gedunk Podcast, Dan and Bobby dive into the power of sports as more than just a game. We talk about how athletics bring people together, why sports have always been political, and why any great school — especially one designed for young men — needs sports as a central pillar. We also push back on the nonsense of “red pill” podcasts that tell men they don’t need to compete and that others should worship them. Instead, we highlight how real strength comes from discipline, teamwork, and striving to be your best — not from entitlement. Tune in for a conversation that blends culture, education, leadership, and the lessons sports teach us about life.

In this episode of The Gedunk Podcast, Dan and Bobby cover the wide terrain of what it means to lead, to govern, and to wield power—especially in a world teetering on the edge of major change. From the solvency of Social Security and the future of Medicare and Medicaid, to climate change, healthcare access, and the impact of U.S. tariffs—this episode breaks down the interconnected systems shaping our lives. Most importantly, we ask the core question: Why have power? To protect… or to punish? We unpack how that question applies not just to American leadership, but to global conflicts like Israel and Gaza, where accountability and restraint are tested daily.
