I got in a fight on TV and it went viral
Plus, my first time camping and everything I wrote + created for you this past week.
Hey everybody!
Welcome to the 2nd-edition of the newly-revived Weekly Brad. If you’re new here, this is my weekly email updating y’all on my life and the various content I’ve created over the past week—I do so much across different platforms now that it’s hard to keep up.
This is your one stop shop for all things Brad Polumbo. Because apparently for some bizarre reason that’s actually something people want…
I went camping with my boyfriend’s family this weekend—hence why this is coming out so late Sunday night. It was really nice, with a cornhole tournament and lots of sitting around by the fire. Whether it really constitutes “camping” is probably up for debate — we stayed in essentially a mobile home — but it was at a campground with very campy-vibes, I guess? Regardless, it was great and Reggie enjoyed all the new smells and people, although he’s very happy to be home.
One thing of interest that happened last week was a clip of me getting over a million views. Yeah, seriously.
I went on Kennedy on Fox Business on Tuesday night, as I do pretty regularly now, and another guest made what I thought was a thinly-veiled, nasty comment about “gay orgies” during what was supposed to be a substantive conversation about government policy regarding the monkeypox. All hell broke look. You can click here/below to watch the segment, but it went pretty viral, getting 1.2 million views on Twitter.
I’ve gotten a LOT of hate and blowback, in addition to some good-faith criticisms and disagreement, but also many messages of support saying they’re glad I spoke up. What do you guys think?
In other news, I scored a goal for my new soccer team this week and during the camp trip absolutely wrecked my boyfriend’s cousins in basketball. I may be like a real adult now, but I’ve still got it!

Media Round-Up:
I was on KENNEDY on Fox Business Tuesday night for the party panel. In our first segment, we discussed the emerging clash between Donald Trump and Mike Pence—which one should the GOP choose?
I also made my debut on a NEW show I’ve never been on before, on the main Fox News channel, Fox News Live. I was on Sunday around 4:40pm, after coming home from camping, and discussed Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act” and why it’s such a policy disaster. Watch the segment here:
