Ep 008 - Show Description
5/20/2025
In a fast-paced edition of ADHP with Doug and Todd, we check in on a few of our past main topics to see how things are looking, and judge whether our previous takes have played out as we thought.
In News of the Week, we discuss Donald Trump’s executive order con regarding prescription drugs prices, we review a couple of local stories for Washington State, and we learn that the Golden Globes are creating a Podcasting category. Can ADHP win? Short answer, no.
For What’s Geek this Week, we have a triple-shot of Disney-related stories, and an update on a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot.
Lastly, we close out the show with That’s Some Weird Shit! Amid some horrifying drunk-driving news and a record-breaking Smurf-a-thon, we talk Turkey with news on Noah’s Ark, and and Turkish town that gets high together when police burn 20 tons of confiscated weed.
All that and more on The Real Eighth Episode of ADHP with Doug and Todd. Turn the volume up and take a ride!
