The one with McDonalds, mouthwash, Paris and Putin!

About this episode

The episode humorously explores the concept of heroism through various cultural references.

Welcome to The Hero Complex Podcast —where heroism gets put under the microscope… and occasionally laughed out of the room. Join Patrick Brusnahan and Adam Greene—two comedy giants with sharp tongues and zero sacred cows—as they tear into the idea of “the hero” from every possible angle. From McDonald’s to mouthwash, from Paris to Putin, nothing escapes scrutiny. It’s big ideas, small details, and wildly entertaining detours—fueled by camaraderie, curiosity, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Because in a world obsessed with heroes, it gets a bit complicated. This is The Hero Complex Podcast - it's just a bit of fun - don't worry about it!
