Notorious Friday Night Posse (NFNP)

Could Grand Theft Auto VI really be a $2 billion video game?

Rockstar hasn't confirmed the final price tag, but high-end estimates have put the total cost of developing and marketing GTA VI near $2 BILLION, potentially making it the most expensive entertainment production ever created.

Bright and Duds dig into what could possibly cost that much, from more than a decade of development and hundreds of thousands of animations to an absu...

Bitcoin is ripping again, so Duds starts us down the money rabbit hole and somehow we end up discussing fiat currency, investing, GameStop and a $20,000 refrigerator.

Then we get into TLC’s new St. Louis-based Double Lives of Suburban Wives. Former teachers, suburban parents, adult-content careers, student loans and some absolutely wild money.

But that leads to the bigger questio...

Then the ...

Bright and Duds are back for NFNP 2x27, and this week the question is simple:

Is everything a scam now?

After the success of the Mark Greaves housing episodes, the guys roll straight into another piece of modern American misery: the scam economy and the daily admin tax of being alive.

AI is loose. Money is fake. The system is rigged. And St. Louis finally figured out how to spend the Rams cash.

Bright and Duds are back for NFNP 2x24, starting with a mid-summer blah mood before spiraling into quarter-life crises, useless degrees, AI taking over work, and the possibility that artificial intelligence is already breaking out of the box.

Part 2 of our July NFNP hangout episode is here — and somehow, this one turned into a prophecy.

From there, Bright and Duds recap Fourth of July weekend: fireworks, neighborhood war zones, BBQ, pork burnt ends, ...

A Texas murder suspect posted a $1 million bond, surrendered his passport and was placed on GPS monitoring. Then, according to authorities, Lee Gilley cut off his ankle monitor late on a Friday, traveled from Texas into Canada and boarded a flight to Italy using a false passport.

On NFNP 2x21, Matt and Duds a...
