If this were a 1980s sitcom, it would be promoted as 'a very special episode of The Grey Man Podcast.'  Since it isn't the 80s or a sitcom, we'll just call this the season finale. 

Join Host Mike as he talks about what's next for The Grey Man, and stay tuned for more seasons down the road.  In the meantime keep your head on a swivel and calm the fuck down.

Holy shit on a shingle, it's been a crazy ride the past week or so under the new/returning president.  Things were said, signed, and probably inappropriately touched.  Host Mike and Producer Jim discuss how we, as human 'murcans, talk about the things we can and cannot control.  

Check out the show for a specific challenge to those disagreeing with mass deportation.  Shitty Choices involves being silent, living in the past...

We finally hear "Why Not Harris" from Host Mike, then the gents cover topics ranging from US DOD Regulation 5240.01 to worldwide wars, and many points in between.  

There's no "Shitty Choices" segment this time around in honor of the actual real-world shitty choice Americans face on election day.  Even if you agree there's no presidential candidate worth casting a vote for, it's still each person&a...

Strap in for a review of a recent Supreme Court decision that will impact us all, and of course a Grey Man Podcast assessment of the first 2024 presidential election debate (debate debacle…debatcle).
