Volume 47 of Brad & Mira For the Culture.
In this sleep-deprived yet fully charged episode, Brad and Mira dive into a chaotic mix of meditation-induced existential crises, protest politics, the cultural significance of Sabrina Carpenter’s new album art, and the strange allure of Scrotox. They discuss the absurdity of performative wokeness, the hypocrisies of pop culture outrage, and why no one actually cares about what scrotums look like. Along the way, they cover:
The perils of insomnia and overmeditating
LA protest sign culture and property damage politics
Angry Adam's transformation into Anguished Adam
Jack Black at a protest—and the ethics of celebrity selfie requests
IKEA cosplay and River’s obsession with big-box stores
Sabrina Carpenter's new record (Man’s Best Friend), her controversial album art, and what it really says about sexuality and pop culture
Feminism, purity politics, and whether women need to tailor their art for dumb men
The supply-and-demand logic of porn and whether Gen Z is too scandalized by sex
The Bravo show The Valley, Zach Wickham’s scrotox procedure, and the aesthetics of Botoxed balls
The ethics of kink in pop culture and why Mira thinks a Bugs Bunny in drag is more sexually provocative than Sabrina Carpenter
Kanye West's recent stint in rehab and cryptic tweets about no longer being a Nazi
It’s raw, unruly, and refreshingly unfiltered—exactly what you’ve come to expect from Brad & Mira.
Sabrina Carpenter – singer, subject of album controversy
Taylor Swift
Jennifer Lopez
Britney Spears
Madonna
Jack Black
Paul Newman
RFK Jr.
Pete Doherty
Phil Donahue
The Meat Puppets
The Minutemen

Otherppl podcast
Newman's Own
The Painted Turtle Camp, Hole in the Wall Gang Camp
Reconsider your opinion on Sabrina Carpenter. Is she offensive—or just doing clever branding?
Think about your relationship with porn. Does it affect how you interpret art or interact sexually?
Google Zack Wickham’s hairline. You will not be disappointed.
Watch The Valley if you dare.
Make a protest sign that says “Scrotox for All.” Then burn it.
“Jesus Christ liked to have his hair pulled by Mary Magdalene, I believe.” – Brad
“It’s like when Bugs Bunny is in drag.” – Mira
“He kind of looks like a scrotum with Botox in it.” – Mira, about RFK Jr.
“If you really want to provoke people, you should be pissing on the album cover.” – Brad
“Porn didn’t invent choking. People wanted it, so porn delivered.” —Mira
