Trump's and Bernie's Jet Quagmire, Met Gala Gaucheness, & Baseball Dreams

Welcome to episode forty-four of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) A discussion of some notable achievements of two loathsome individuals, Robert F. Kennedy's attempt to eliminate dyes from our food and tackle the obesity epidemic and Trump's deal-making that may benefit the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, Trump undermines the little positive achievements of his Presidency by accepting a lavish plane from Qatar to replace Air Force One as a gift, further highlighting his lack of ethics.

2) Bernie Sanders has been crisscrossing the country campaigning against Oligarchs with AOC flying in a private jet, which exposes what a fraudulent hypocrite he is as he spews carbon emissions into the atmosphere while pontificating his antiquated socialist views.

3) The 2025 Met Gala was a gauche and garish spectacle of bad taste organized by the loathsome Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, who has promoted elitism, racism, and eating disorders. The entire event is a disgrace, and Ms. Wintour deserves a long overdue cancellation.

4) A story of a baseball underdog, JC Escarra, who made it onto the Yankees at age 30 through persistence and grit. This uplifting story is at least one example of some positivity in a very dark period of American history.

In this episode, Adam and Tom dive deep into the fogginess that entrepreneurs experience when they lose clarity in their businesses. They explore how to clear that fog not with Benadryl, but with truth, intention, and aligned action. The conversation is a powerful reflection on the importance of letting go of excuses, embracing reality, and fully stepping into who you are right now, rather than waiting for the “perfect moment.”

🔑 Key Takeaways

🌫️ 1. Business Allergies and the Fog of Confusion

1. Just like seasonal allergies, entrepreneurs often go through “foggy” seasons in business.
2. Lack of clarity stems from resistance to change or trying to force solutions that don’t fit.
3. The remedy? A dose of honest reflection and intentional action, not more noise or tactics.

🧭 2. Submit to Your Reality

1. Success lies in recognizing what actually works for you, not what’s trending or “supposed to work.”
2. Adam shares their journey of discovering that relationship-building, not advertising, is their strength.
3. For many relationship-style businesses (like coaching or consulting), personal connection is the foundation, not flashy marketing.

❌ 3. Stop Making Excuses

1. Excuses become self-imposed obstacles. The more you repeat them, the more you believe them.
2. Instead of blaming external conditions, face the reality: if something isn’t working, fix it or change it.
3. Tom emphasizes that success requires iteration, not perfection.

🔁 4. Shift From Have-Do-Be → Be-Do-Have

1. Common mindset trap: “Once I have money, I’ll do more work, and then I’ll be successful.”
2. New approach: “Be the productive, helpful person now, do the work, and you will have the results.”
3. Flip the script — identity first, then action, then outcomes.

🔥 5. Be the Coach — Even Without the Client

1. Waiting for sales before stepping into your role keeps you stuck.
2. Don’t wait to be the coach, creator, or service provider — start being it now.
3. Genuinely help people first; the business will follow naturally.

🧠 6. Set the Right Intention Based on Who You Are

1. Intentions change based on the role you choose to embody: coach vs. salesperson.
2. Focus on the main thing you want to be, even if you wear multiple hats.
3. Your roles should serve your purpose — not distract from it.

🌟 7. Live and Express Your Purpose

1. Tom shares how his life purpose...

Mary Chieffo's Klingon Adventure in "Lower Decks" & Farewell to Discovery

The last time Trekkies saw Mary Chieffo was back in the second season of "Star Trek: Discovery," as she played Chancellor L'Rell. Fast forward a few years later, and May has returned as a different Klingon - K'Elarra in the fifth season episode of "Lower Decks" titled "A Farewell to Farms. We chatted with Mary about her time on the popular animated series, what it was like doing VO work, her growing fandom and passion for Trek, thoughts on what happened to L'Rell, and what's next in the Star Trek universe for this lovely actress.

Hanoi Jane Emerges, Trump's 100 Days of Buffoonery and Outrage, and the New Anti-MAGA American Pope

Welcome to episode forty-three of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) The Audubon Society, an organization Stu supports, awarded Jane Fonda for her environmental work, which caused Stu to boycott the event and consider a protest against her due to her traitorous behavior during the Vietnam War.

2) Trump's insulting and outrageous proposal to rename Veterans Day, which was greeted with consternation by those who served their country in the military, unlike Trump, who evaded service by claiming he had bone spurs like the cowardly nepo baby he is.

3) The election of Mike Carney as Prime Minister in Canada. Carney is a far-left candidate, and the conservative was expected to win. Instead, due to a Trump backlash over his calls for annexation, the Canadians revolted, indicating how weak Trump's influence is globally. Similar electoral results occurred in Australia, indicating how poorly the MAGA brand sells internationally, unlike Reagan, who brought his revolution to the world and won the Cold War.

4) The ridiculous proposal by Trump to repurpose Alcatraz as a federal prison when it is basically in ruins and would require rebuilding and probably would be impractical to operate. This is another stunt that further indicates how weak his presidential leadership has been.

5) Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, an American, was chosen as the new Pope Leo XIV, and he is not conservative either. In fact, he had previously condemned Trump's and JD Piglet's immigration policies. Meanwhile, Trump disrespected Catholic tradition at Francis' funeral and then posted an AI image of himself as Pope. Imagine what the liberal elite media would have done if he had posted himself as MLK or Mohammad.

In this episode, Tom and Adam dive deep into what really makes sales happen — and it’s not just slick tactics or great networking. It’s about consistency, mindset, and mastering the simple selling system that turns casual conversations into paying clients.

You’ll hear stories from their 5WH program, real client breakthroughs, and how combining execution strategy with mindset mastery is the game-changer for business owners. Whether you're overwhelmed by follow-ups, frustrated with unproductive networking, or struggling with sabotaging behaviors — this episode has the tools, mindset shifts, and clarity to help you close more deals with less stress.

________________________________________

Key Takeaways:

• ✅ Follow-up is everything. If you’re not following up consistently, you’re leaving money on the table.

• 🧠 Your consistency doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Define your version and stick with it.

• 💬 Conversations that close are built by asking the right questions. When done correctly, prospects will literally tell you how to close them.

• 🔄 Sales success isn’t just tactical—it’s internal. Saboteurs, limiting beliefs, and disempowering self-talk can crush your ability to execute.

• 📅 Networking without a system is a waste of time. The stack of business cards means nothing if you don’t have a plan to engage the right people.

• 💥 The ‘People Pleaser’ trap is real. Learn to set boundaries and say no to the wrong people so you can say yes to the right ones.

• 🔁 Repetition makes it real. Like golf, the awkwardness of new techniques fades with practice and the system becomes second nature.

Tish Saves Preston, Corpse Hawking, Trump's Handmaid's Tale, & Stu's Tribute.

Welcome to episode forty-two of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:

1) Some updates about past issues we covered, including how David is repulsed by Levis, and is steadfast that AOC is more palatable than JD Piglet Vance, who met the Pope one day and the next day the Pope died of a stroke. We also discuss how NY Attorney General Tish James, a Trump nemesis, cut a real estate deal and saved the Preston school, while Trump has not closed any significant trade deals or ended the war in Ukraine or Gaza.

2) Harvard has had its share of scandals these days, including how a morgue manager, Sedgwick Lodge, was selling body parts for cash in what can only be described as a comic macabre criminal enterprise.

3) Trump has proposed paying women a $5,000 bonus if they have a baby and are US citizens in order to increase America's declining birth rates. We suspect that this must be a brainchild of his best friend, Elon Musk, who pays women $15 million for having his babies, as noted in a recent Wall Street Journal article. This proposal is truly sickening and reflects the values of Elizabeth Warren rather than the Republican Party.

3) Stu ends the show by reading a letter from a friend who is close to dying and his farewell which is rather poignant. This fitting tribute is heartfelt and moving.
