Pridham and Sheafe
by David Prodham and Brad Sheafe
David Pridham and Brad Sheafe are big wheels in the world of Intellectual Property. 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 yo

Ep. 348 - No Shoes
Ep. 348 - No Shoes, No Shirt, Car Problems David returns from Europe with a formal grievance against a hoity-toity hotel whose house rules ban robes, glassware, and dogs, and instruct guests to "obey." They also require a shirt and shoes but never mention pants, a loophole the guys are quick to...

Ep. 347 - More Best of
Ep. 347 - More Best of IP…Frequently It’s the second best-of in a row. David and Brad are either too busy saving the world to record a new episode or hoping you won't notice. Either way, enjoy the highlights. New York's tenant czar says the way to dismantle white supremacy is to dismantle home...

Ep. 346 - Best of
Ep. 346 - Best of IP…Frequently An idiot swallows a Big Mac whole, an app lets you talk to your dead grandmother for a monthly fee, and somewhere in the White House, Joe Biden’s portrait was updated to a signature-stamping machine.

Ep. 345 - The Devil Wears Pink Shorts
Ep. 345 - The Devil Wears Pink Shorts A hung jury hands Lindsay Clancy eleven votes to acquit and one lone holdout, on a defense theory that boils down to women being too hormonal to be held responsible for premeditated murder. David and Brad walk through the Google searches, the CVS alibi, and…

Ep. 344 - Silent but Deadly
Ep. 344 - Silent but Deadly Atlanta has fully bureaucratized the fart: second graders now get a permitted emissions zone, a taxpayer-funded air freshener budget, and a command economy that's guaranteed to produce shortages, black markets, and worse air quality than it started with. David and Brad...
-
Ep. 343 - The Prince
Ep. 343 - The Prince and the Car Salesman Prince Harry blew through a hundred million Netflix dollars on shows nobody watches and now wants his old bedroom back at the palace, which David and Brad note is a rough way to test the theory that you can never go home again. Meanwhile in Belgium, a 26...

Ep. 342 - Best Of IP
Ep. 342 - Best Of IP…Frequently David and Brad are on holiday, so this one's a highlight reel. In Mississippi, a truck full of research monkeys carrying hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID flips on the interstate and the primates scatter into the woods. And a flashback to New York City electing a...

Ep. 341 - An Obstructed View
Ep. 341 - An Obstructed View Buffalo spends $2.2 billion on a new stadium and still finds room for a staircase planted directly in front of the fifty yard line, which David and Brad file as the week's tidiest metaphor. Then the real fireworks: the WNBA has spent years insisting gender is just a...

Ep. 324 - Looks Like A Duck
Ep. 324 - Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck Brad and David cut through the fog on the Strait of Hormuz, where tankers sit idle because insurers won’t risk Iranian drones. The same reluctance shows up at home: repeated attacks tied to radical Islam get soft-pedaled as “vehicle incidents” or...
