À propos de ce contenu audio

“David & Stu . . . Unhinged!” offers a unique glimpse into the world's most pressing (and most trivial) issues through the eyes of two of Greenwich Village’s jaded residents, who are usually pissed off about something. From allowing people to legally sh** on our sidewalks to "discrimination" against fat people, David Simonetti, a writer and attorney, and Stu Richel, a critically acclaimed actor, screenwriter, and Vietnam War vet, offer an acerbic yet civilized perspective on politics and life in New York City. Occasionally veering into the abyss of rage, like Stu's unbridled contempt for Jane Fonda and David's rage about those who ask for ice cream samples, the duo from two different generations will enchant you with their common-sense reactions speckled with off-the-rails humor, anger, and dismay.Copyright 2026 David & Stu Politique et gouvernement Sciences sociales

  • 82: Stu’s Grand Return, Gold Coast Ghetto Living, a Demented Orangutan, & Snowballgate
    Mar 1 2026

    Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast.

    On this 82nd episode of David & Stu Unhinged, we cover the following topics:

    1. Stu has returned from his time in Florida and recounts his time away and his harrowing return to New York due to incompetently run airlines and a poorly administered air transportation system which makes air travel in America a nightmare.

    2. While Stu was away, David recounts how he has waged a transparency campaign in the dysfunctional building he has lived in way too long. He decided to broadly disclose the legal complaint and financials associated with his coop Board’s decision to spend double the budget installing an outdoor generator in the basement, which has ensnared the building in a never-ending lawsuit. Needless to say, his efforts weren’t greeted with kindness by Board members.

    3. In Washington Square Park, there was a snowball fight where police officers were pelted with snowballs, and some of them were injured. In response to this attack on the NYPD, Mayor Mamdani waffled about prosecuting aggressive snowballers. This incident raises the question of whether NYPD Commissioner Tisch and Mamdani can continue to play together in the same sandbox.

    4. Trump’s recent State of the Union address lasted 148 minutes and was filled with lies and undignified behavior, magnifying how far America has fallen from when President Lincoln gave the Gettysburg address in two minutes, which provided moral clarity about the justification for the Civil War. On the other hand, Trump’s self-indulgence and delusional speech highlight how he is almost, if not more, demented than his predecessor, Joe Biden.

  • 81: Stu’s Nine Lives, Yes to the Dress & those Irksome Citi-Bikes
    Feb 15 2026

    Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast.

    On this 81st Episode of David & Stu Unhinged from an undisclosed location, we cover the following topics:

    1) Stu recounts two near-death experiences, one of which was when Stu was given a shot by a doctor that he had a very bad reaction to, which derailed his plans to go to the racetrack, and he ended up back in the hospital, nearly unconscious, and the nurse could not feel his pulse. The second involved a serious car accident where a truck drove through a “Stop” sign into Stu’s vehicle, which also landed him in the hospital.

    2) David’s daughter announced she was getting married next year in June, and preparations are underway for a low-key wedding. As part of this story, David recalls how he married at the City Hall in Chicago, so he doesn’t have vast experience planning a wedding. But, being that his daughter’s mother died when she was nine years old, David has often had to step in and fill the void his daughter must feel not having a mother at pivotal moments of her life, including when shopping for a wedding dress.

    3) The Citi-Bike program was first implemented in 2013 by Mayor Bloomberg as a means to reduce congestion and help the environment. However, the program has been poorly administered, the bike rentals are expensive, and the kiosks are often malfunctioning. David recounts his experience with Citi-Bikes, including when riding one, and a cab ran over his foot and broke it on his way to an outdoor SoulCycle class during COVID.

  • 80: Havana Exit, Epstein’s BFFs, Greek Tragedy, & Trump’s Alamo
    Feb 8 2026

    Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast.

    On this 80th episode of David & Stu Unhinged, we cover the following topics:

    1. Michael Beck, a former National Security Agency (NSA) counterintelligence officer, died on January 25, 2026, at age 65. The exact cause of death has not been publicly disclosed, but Beck was the earliest known individual to report symptoms later linked to what the U.S. government and media call Havana Syndrome. Beck was also diagnosed with Parkinson's at age 45. We will discuss the mystery behind Havana Syndrome and speculate as to what caused Beck’s death.

    2. On January 30, 2026, the Department of Justice released a plethora of documents from the Epstein files. This latest release further exposes the elites who congregated with Epstein, including some major figures in Trump’s universe, such as Howard Lutnik, and the parasite Elon Musk, even though both have steadfastly denied any involvement with the infamous sex trafficker. Even Trump himself has been implicated in this tawdry spectacle.


    3. As a result of a hazing death at Northern Arizona University involving excessive drinking, three fraternity brothers of a Delta Tau Delta fraternity were arrested. Under Arizona law, this death could be treated as a felony. This incident has spurred calls for more laws directed at curbing hazing and emboldened those who have called for banning fraternities altogether. Stu feels that it is an overreaction, while David fully supports the elimination of these antiquated institutions from all college campuses.


    4. Trump’s toxic brand is showing further signs of alienating Americans, including voters in deep red Texas, where a Democratic candidate, Taylor Rehmet, flipped a state senate seat that had been held by Republicans for 45 years in a special election. Instead of cementing his image on Mount Rushmore, Trump is heading towards lame duck status in a humiliating spectacle that demonstrates what a pathetic excuse of a president he is. Sooner or later, the Republicans might come to their senses and join the Democrats in impeaching his felonious ass.
