Filip & Fredrik Podcast

The Chinese Public Diplomacy Think Tank is buying and Filip and Fredrik are for sale! This week’s episode all starts with a cough. An ominous sign when in happens in movies. But what does this say about Filip? As interns, young Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson remember old porno magazines in the bathroom, and naked pin-up calendars in the break room in the garage shops of Sweden in 1986. Where is the only respectable place to view a porno mag? Filip reveals all! Plus, Filip and Fredrik recall their first trip in New York City and the sadness of the Times Square porno booths. It’s a rough world and everything can be bought for the right price… including the dynamic duo’s first feature film! Tune in as Filip gives the history of his hometown of Koping, Sweden a Chinese rewrite.

Filip’s busy life might be getting to him. He’s now crying in front of his infant son. But Fredrik thinks that may be a good thing. Flying is something Filip’s gotten used to over the years but his relief when his plane passes over Greenland need’s some considering. Filip and Fredrik tell the tale of the Kangerlussuaq nightclub in Greenland. The duo remember seeing the most miserable turtle in all the world while visiting Greenland. Filip wonders in amazement how you can find a Chinese restaurant in the most remote places on earth. Fredrik has a beautiful mind for dates and numbers and apparently can’t be stumped even though his friend Filip tries. You won’t want to miss what might be the next great novel, “Mr. Fredrik’s Feeling for Years.”

The Filip and Fredrik Podcast returns! This week Fredrik gets an email for a potential dream opportunity so big he would abandon anything for it. The dynamic duo speculate that actor Alexander Skarsgard purposely picked the biggest fake penis to be smashed on HBO’s “Big Little Lies.” Filip tells the recent story of a Romanian artist who dressed like a Muslim woman carrying a back pack into the middle of an art exhibit. Was this art? What other personalities could have made an even bigger impact with this same stunt? You’ll never guess the list Filip and Fredrik come up with. It’s all here and more on an all new Filip and Fredrik Podcast!

Fredrik is still consumed with the Orson Welles biography and reads two profound quotes from it in an all new Filip and Fredrik Podcast. What do you have to be considered a genius or an innovator? The duo also discuss the epic failures of “reverse-innovators” like Swedish cross-country skier Gunde Svan, Zola Budd, Bjorn Borg and more. Filip is worried because he always learns about celebrity deaths while sitting on the bowl. Is there a correlation? But unlike the passing of David Bowie and Lemmy, he is amazed at the lack of mourning anyone has given Chuck Berry. Many artist have checkered pasts and are forgiven in death, but not, it seems, the Father of Rock and Roll. When a genius dies, what do you have to do to get a nice obituary? Find out the answer to this question and more on an all new Filip and Fredrik Podcast!

Filip and Fredrik are both in LA this week but the California sunshine hasn’t rubbed off on them. Sparks fly early this episode as Filip defends the new Apple “Park” being built in Cupertino, but his partner Fredrik rejects the term altogether, claiming there is nothing park-like about it. Arguments lead to inspiration as the dynamic duo wonder how Google could top Apple with their own park-like compound. Complete with carrots and kale growing outside office windows, only Filip and Fredrik could dream so bold! Fredrik is fascinated with the difference between the American and Swedish mindset surrounding April Fool’s Day (April First). Ringing the Bell of the New York Stock Exchange has lost its luster. An honor once reserved for titans of industry now goes to “The Jersey Shore” gang, and Stormtroopers. Filip and Fredrik ponder how this all came to be.

Fredrik confesses his recent inappropriate comment to a female cashier.

The Filip and Fredrik Podcast returns! Back from his trip to Sweden and Filip is feeling old looking in the mirror these days. Filip and Fredrik debate which movie bookstore is more nauseating; “You’ve Got Mail” vs. “Notting Hill”. The duo recreate the pitch meeting for the Hugh Grant classic directed by Richard Curtis. Fredrik explains why “Love Actually” is the worst movie ever made. It’s about time somebody put Tony Bennett in his place. Filip Hammar does just that! Fredrik despises “Love Actually” but Filip just might hate James Cordon’s Carpool Karaoke even more. Don’t miss the gem of an episode!
