What Are We Doing!?

You're telling me I sat at my desk, with three browser windows open, on two laptops and a phone, all with different Red Robin accounts, and I still didn't get the $20 All-You-Can-Eat Burger Pass?! What are we doing?! Episode 186 is here, and I'm breaking down what really happened when Red Robin's site exploded under the weight of every American chasing unlimited cheeseburgers and bottomless fries for a month. Spoiler alert: their third-party payment processor fumbled the bag HARD, and not one single soul has been confirmed to get a pass. Was it a scam? A PR stunt? Or did the intern just forget to uncheck “test mode”? We're getting to the bottom of it.Also this week—we're headed to SPACE. Not really. But Katy Perry did. Sort of. If going up and immediately coming back down counts as space. Apparently, it does, because now she and Gayle King are being referred to as astronauts. Yeah, let that one sink in. We're unpacking Blue Origin's “historic” all-female launch, Gayle clapping back at the haters, Katy Perry discovering she's “connected to love,” and me trying to figure out why no one played her alien song during the mission. Missed opportunity.And speaking of launches...

ChatGPT now remembers everything about me… and I'm oddly okay with it. Welcome to Episode 185 of the What Are We Doing? podcast, where I let the robots write my bio, pitch myself to Fyre Festival 2 (yes, that Fyre Fest), and publicly roast Selena Gomez's new dental work. It's what we do.We're kicking things off with OpenAI's latest update—ChatGPT's new Memory feature—and naturally, I gave it a go. I asked it to describe me based on everything I've ever typed into this little AI box of dreams, and what it spit back was…uncomfortably accurate. I'm talkin' “ax-throwing, satire-slinging, DJ-by-night WordPress wizard” levels of accurate. We turned that bio into an epic cinematic intro, complete with mystery music and unnecessary drama. You're welcome.Then, things get spiritual (and mildly inappropriate) when I introduce the AI-Jesus cinematic universe. We're talking full core AI-Jesus, passion project podcasts featuring Satan, and why we all might be a little too tired of our favorite murder pods. Move over Wondery, we want the Sermon on the Mic.But wait, there's more. FireFest 2 is allegedly still happening—Billy McFarland is back, baby! So I do what any sane, logical man would do: I pitch myself as the headliner. Not just a DJ set, no no—we're talking karate demonstrations, childhood dance routines, a live balloon-swallowing magic act, a DJ set and a live podcast taping. Oh, and a mistletoe Bieber cover. On the beaches of Mexico. In June. Billy, pick me. Choose me. Love me.Need more chaos? Don't worry, we got:

Episode 184 is here, and just when I thought life couldn't get any weirder, Lumos, my dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks French Bulldog, decided to give himself a black eye. Yep, you read that right. This genius thought that slamming his face into his crate would somehow convince us to let him join playtime with the kid. Naturally, the mothers in our lives insisted on an emergency vet visit, convinced it was either a bee sting, spider bite, or imminent doggy apocalypse. Instead, I trusted my gut (and wallet), gave him some Benadryl wrapped in a cheese stick, and voila, he's alive and well. Official vet diagnosis: "Because he's an idiot." Best $45 I've ever spent.Speaking of questionable decisions, Justin Bieber's recent Instagram live appearances have the internet convinced he's spiraling into a midlife crisis at the ripe old age of millennial fatherhood. But let's be honest—smoking a little weed, eating some shrooms, and making weird music in your $30 million backyard studio sounds like peak dad life to me. His marriage drama with Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez also continues, featuring Benny Blanco in a love quadrangle nobody asked for but everyone's obsessed with. We've even got exclusive (totally real, definitely not fake) leaked Bieber tracks dissing Benny and lamenting his Selena drama. You heard it here first, folks!Meanwhile, Donald Trump's tariffs have done the impossible: they've delayed the Nintendo Switch 2 preorders indefinitely. Thanks, Trump—guess my dreams of overpriced Mario Kart have to wait. Oh, and prices at the grocery store? Skyrocketing. But don't worry, Trump assures us everything is "booming"—the markets, the economy, your crippling anxiety about grocery bills—everything's just fine.Disney's Snow White remake is also still a disaster, and the only obvious solution to save the film is casting Sydney Sweeney as Snow White. It's a guaranteed billion-dollar box office hit—cover up the jubilee jubilees and slap a PG rating on it. Problem solved. And for those keeping track, Russell Brand is back in headlines for all the wrong reasons, with satire becoming indistinguishable from reality.Finally, the Barney reboot saga continues to perplex me, with the new, creepy, Ozempic Barney sharing shelf space with old Barney toys at Walmart. Someone explain the multiverse situation here, because I'm losing sleep over this purple dinosaur conspiracy.Don't forget to subscribe, like, share, and engage. Or don't, but honestly, you should—it's the patriotic thing to do. What are we doing?

Welcome back to another chaotic disaster of an episode of the What Are We Doing? Podcast — this is Episode 183, and I'm your host, Levi. Apparently, we're still doing this.This week, I'm breaking down the absolute circus that is Jojo Siwa's 2025 tour announcement, and folks — it's worse than we thought. Not only is Jojo charging $900 for a “VIP Dream Guest” experience, but she's also making you WORK for it. You're literally paying her to clock in early, set up chairs, carry drum kits, and basically be free labor for the Siwa Circus — all for the honor of possibly taking home her sweaty leotard. What are we doing?!While everyone's fighting over Chris Brown tickets in the group chat, I'm over here calculating how many credit cards I need to max out to afford Jojo Siwa's meet-and-greet-slash-employment package. But don't worry — if I can't go, I'm looking for one of YOU to take my place. I'll even pay for your ticket. All I ask is you vlog every second of your unpaid internship with Jojo.But that's not all — because apparently, world leaders are now planning military strikes in group chats. We cover the wild story of Trump's administration accidentally adding a journalist to a Signal thread where they discussed bombing Yemen. Homeland Security, national security advisors, and journalists all in one group chat… because what could possibly go wrong? I break down how Dave Portnoy and the rest of the millionaire boys club are finally realizing they bet on the wrong horse.And just when you thought the entertainment industry couldn't embarrass itself more, Disney's $250 million remake of Snow White hit theaters and bombed harder than a Jojo Siwa soundcheck. I tell you exactly why — and no, it's not because of the dwarves, Rachel Zegler's breakdown, or Gal Gadot phoning it in — it's because all the damn animals are CGI. What are we doing?! You can animate a deer but can't animate a decent script?PLUS, Actual Girl herself, Hailey Welch, has risen from her crypto coma with a ridiculous “I'm back” trailer. She's ready to sell you more snake oil, start a podcast, and pretend none of the crypto rug pulls ever happened. And we're supposed to act surprised.Finally, we wrap things up with the season finale of Could Have Been Love, where Drew Ski pulled the most diabolical elimination twist of all time and crowned Bambi his winner. Spoiler alert — there are already pregnancy rumors, and yes, I cover it all.If you want to know how we got here — a world where you pay Jojo Siwa to work for her, the government conducts warfare in iMessage threads, and Disney spends a quarter billion dollars on CGI squirrels — hit play. This episode is unhinged, unfiltered, and exactly why this podcast exists.Like the video, subscribe, and let's all ask together… What are we doing?*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD*************************************************************

This week, we're swimming through a tidal wave of chaos, starting with the rollercoaster of comments I've been getting lately. Last week, Jeanette was tossing shade, but this week, the love is flowing from RC Kelly and Cordell—though my new pal Munchlax hit me with an iconic "you're so gay." Thanks, buddy. Real helpful.Meanwhile, Elon Musk is under attack (again), and naturally, he's blaming mental illness for people blowing up Teslas and spray-painting swastikas on superchargers. Shocker, right? Apparently, it's not because people might be a teensy bit upset about Doge-related cuts affecting veterans, food banks, medical research, or that accidental cancellation of Ebola research funding. "Oopsie" doesn't quite cut it, Elon.And speaking of Doge, Musk and his buddy Trump's latest financial freeze means farmers and nonprofits like Passa in Pennsylvania haven't received funding for months. Now, their employees can't get paid—which means neither can I. Elon, bro, now you've crossed the line by messing with my wallet. What are we doing?In lighter news (well, sort of), I stumbled onto American Idol after like 17 years, only to realize it's basically TikTok auditions now. Nobody actually "wins," except maybe Kelly Clarkson, but that's ancient history. This week, viral TikTok star Sophie Powers performed her masterpiece, "Shut the F*** Up," which I hate to admit actually slaps. Laundry, groceries, traffic—shut up indeed. Still, the show's become nothing more than influencers trying desperately to make a 60-second viral clip.Of course, no episode is complete without food opinions. The MD Foodie Boys debated wings, and let's just say if you're ordering honey barbecue, we're not friends. Shout-out to Alibis in Carlisle for perfect wings, RIP thanks to a drunk college kid. Wingstop's lazy employees ruined my order so many times they put my name on the wall—free wings forever, I guess? Haven't cashed in yet; don't want to seem petty.Finally, in tech news, the Pebble smartwatch is back from the dead—thankfully without any AI nonsense. It has a 30-day battery, looks retro-cool, and is totally open-source. Apple, take notes: my wrist is ready.*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD

This week on the pod, things are getting wild—because nothing screams "totally ethical government" like a Tesla dealership popping up on the White House lawn! Yep, Trump casually rolled up to his new South Lawn Tesla dealership—complete with a free, live-streamed commercial on Musk's X platform. Ethics, schmethics! And hey, nothing screams "I'm totally into electric vehicles now" like last year's EV-hating candidate sitting in a Cybertruck and shouting out Elon Musk's patriotic greatness. Seems legit.Speaking of questionable decisions, Casey Anthony's back—again—because who wouldn't trust parenting advice from someone with her…unique qualifications? Casey's now on TikTok, claiming she's here to advocate for Caylee and give legal advice. Definitely sounds promising, right? Her attorney called it out perfectly: it's not about redemption; it's about clicks, controversy, and a chance to remind us all (again) how tragic her past is. Shocker.Finally, because the mobile gaming world just wasn't complete, Scopely now owns Pokémon Go. Yep, that Scopely—the folks famous for games like "Yahtzee with Buddies." Niantic handed over their golden goose, along with Monster Hunter Now and Pikmin Bloom. So get ready for your augmented-reality addiction to hit new heights—or new monetization nightmares. Probably both.This week's lineup has it all: ethical gymnastics at the White House, Casey Anthony's latest attempt at relevancy, and the corporate takeover of your childhood nostalgia. Seriously, folks, what are we doing?*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD*************************************************************

Ladies and gentlemen, episode 180 of the What Are We Doing podcast is here, and buckle up, because this one's a rollercoaster of absolute nonsense and sheer brilliance. We kicked things off by resurrecting a boy band that only 12 people remember—shoutout to Five—before diving into my guest appearance on the 280+ Podcast. Listen, Los needed a guest. The man was desperate. I threw him a lifeline, and we went DEEP. We tackled Trump, Elon, and how they're basically tag-teaming America into oblivion, while also touching on the disasterpiece that is Love Is Blind Season 8. Oh, and I may or may not have set the wheels in motion for Joe Exotic to appear on 280+—you're welcome, internet.Then, we had to address the greatest stand-up comic of our time: Donald J. Trump. The man took to the podium for what felt like 17 hours to rant about transgender mice. That's right. According to Elon and Trump, we're out here spending millions to gender-swap rodents. Spoiler alert: They meant transgenic mice. You know, the ones that help cure cancer? Yeah. Turns out, nobody in Trump's camp owns a dictionary. I even had to call Jessica, my AI assistant, to clear up the mess. She confirmed—mice are not out here getting top surgery. Science is wild, but not that wild. What are we doing?And because this episode wasn't unhinged enough, we had to talk about Steve Carell single-handedly funding prom tickets for high schoolers. Prom is a scam, kids. Why does your school need to charge you $100 for a chicken parmesan and a DJ? I guarantee the administration inflated the ticket prices as soon as they heard Steve was footing the bill. The real move? Scrap the prom tickets—just hand out scholarships instead. But sure, let's pretend free prom is the solution to life's problems.Then, we talked airline insanity because Southwest Airlines just gave us the wildest in-flight entertainment yet—a woman took off all her clothes and paraded up and down the aisles mid-flight. Peak aviation right there. If my Southwest flight to Mexico for the wedding doesn't feature at least one spontaneous nudist, I'll be disappointed. Apparently, Southwest is fully on board with the “no-pants policy,” so I'm expecting a very liberated flight crew when we take off. What are we doing?Finally, Fyre Festival 2 is back because America loves a good scam. Billy McFarland—fresh out of prison—is selling tickets for his nonexistent festival on an island in Mexico. The local government? No clue about it. Artists? None booked. The price? Anywhere from $1,500 to $1.2 million. You know I'm tempted to go just to live-stream the disaster in real-time. I could be the first performer. I'll do karate, tap dance, magic tricks, and a live podcast episode. Call it the Levi Eras Tour. Let's get this man another fraud conviction.************************************************************* ✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD

I kicked things off with my “New Year, new me” update, where I proudly announced that I've stopped biting my nails and, believe it or not, even managed to cut back on my daytime smoking. Yes, it's a small victory, but when you're trying to be wedding-ready, every little bit counts.My gym escapades at Planet Fitness provided plenty of comic relief. Picture this: me, barely a minute in, setting off the infamous lunk alarm, and having to explain to a very confused staff member that it's just my natural charm wreaking havoc on the quiet gym ambiance. Over time, I learned that five minutes on the StairMaster is the unofficial test of being a “bad bitch.” Trust me, if you can handle those stairs, you've already earned a spot in my inner circle.But the absurdity doesn't stop there. I laid out my wild plan to have Joe Exotic, yes, the Tiger King himself, officiate my wedding. I even joked about needing a presidential pardon—courtesy of Donald Trump—to get Joe out of prison in time. It's a ridiculous notion, but then again, so is my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.Nostalgia hit hard in this episode, as I reminisced about my childhood filled with Nickelodeon gems like “Hey Arnold” and “Angry Beavers,” alongside the life lessons of “Boy Meets World.” It's funny how those shows, once the center of my universe, now serve as bittersweet reminders of a simpler time, even as I navigate the complexities of adult life and reunions that are more awkward than heartwarming.Of course, no episode would be complete without a jab at modern technology and social media. I ranted about the ongoing drama on Facebook—yes, that relic—and urged everyone to ditch it for something more authentic. Meanwhile, I defended my love for Tesla's cutting-edge tech, not because I'm a fan of Elon Musk, but because I truly appreciate innovation when I see it.And then there was Pokémon Day. While the hype for downloadable collections and new game announcements fizzled out (once again), I managed to snag a holographic Articuno in a Twitter giveaway—another reminder that in this digital age, even our hobbies come with a side of irony.In a nutshell, episode 179 is a snapshot of my life: part self-improvement saga, part pop culture rant, and entirely unapologetic about the absurdity that is my world. What are we doing? Apparently, we're laughing in the face of chaos—and that's just how I like it.*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************

On this episode, I had the wild experience of chatting with Joe Exotic—a man whose life reads like a modern-day fable. Behind the walls of jail, he remained unapologetically charismatic, regaling me with tales of his once-rampant tiger empire and the fevered battles he fought against animal welfare activists, most notably his bitter feud with Carol Baskin. As we delved into every aspect of his tumultuous past—from his explosive personality and larger-than-life exploits with big cats to the stark reality of incarceration—I came away with a deep sense of both the man behind the myth and the extraordinary story that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.Learn More Herehttps://joeexoticofficial.com*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD*************************************************************More Bout Joe ExoticJoe Exotic is a figure whose life defies simple explanation—a blend of audacious ambition, larger-than-life showmanship, and a deep-rooted passion for exotic animals. Born Joseph Allen Maldonado, he carved out a unique niche in American pop culture with his extravagant tiger ranch and his unfiltered, flamboyant personality. His public feud with animal welfare activist Carol Baskin not only sparked a media frenzy but also highlighted the contentious world of exotic animal ownership. Whether it was his unconventional approach to business or his unyielding defense of his lifestyle, Joe Exotic became synonymous with controversy and spectacle.Behind the persona and the headlines, however, lies a more complex narrative marked by personal and legal battles. Serving a lengthy prison sentence for his role in a convoluted criminal case, Joe's life has taken a dramatic turn, exposing the stark realities of incarceration and health struggles. Even as he faces the challenges of a failing body and a deteriorating health condition, he remains defiant—continuing his plea for a presidential pardon and insisting on the integrity of his past actions. His story, rich with contradictions and marked by both triumphs and tribulations, invites us to ponder deeper questions about justice, redemption, and the human spirit's capacity for reinvention.*************************************************************Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.We must also emphasize that the information contained in this video has been produced with no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability, completeness, legality, or usefulness of what is said or expressed.

Welcome to this week's explosive episode of the What Are We Doing podcast, where we break down the most riveting stories making waves across digital media, music, and Hollywood. In today's episode, we tackle everything from high-profile summits and viral social media mysteries to historic performances and groundbreaking TV series announcements.❤️ FREE VALENTINES DAY BLUECHEW - $20 OFF!https://bluechew.com/?coupon=TZUHWe kick things off in Dubai at the prestigious World Government Summit, where the future of social media and Gen Z influence were the stars of the show. Influencer Nara Smith, alongside the energetic duo from the BFFs podcast—Josh Richards and Brianna LaPaglia—took the stage to share insights on how digital platforms are reshaping public discourse. They emphasized the critical importance of Gen Z's voice in charting the future of content creation, innovation, and policy-making. Adding a personal twist to the event, Gabi Moura was spotted lending her support to Josh Richards during his momentous achievement. We unpack how these conversations at the summit reflect a seismic shift in digital culture and why the youth are emerging as the true trailblazers of our time.Next, we dive headfirst into one of the internet's most bizarre viral phenomena—the case of Amalfi Jets. A TikTok video featuring a would-be private jet flyer comparing luxury travel costs to those of commercial flights quickly ignited social media, drawing millions of views. In a series of responses that were as humorous as they were perplexing, the supposed CEO, Kolin Jones, defended the exorbitant price points of private travel. But here's the twist: we reveal compelling evidence that suggests neither Amalfi Jets nor its elusive owner Kolin Jones actually exist! Join us as we present the clues, inconsistencies, and our own conspiracy theory that turns this viral sensation into one of the most intriguing internet hoaxes. Is it a well-crafted marketing stunt or an elaborate ruse designed to keep us guessing? We lay it all out for you.Shifting gears, we analyze a historic moment in music—Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance. Making history as the first rapper to headline the event solo, Kendrick delivered a 12-minute set filled with surprises. Notable highlights include a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson, who embodied a tongue-in-cheek “Uncle Sam,” and an electrifying collaboration with R&B star SZA. Despite the groundbreaking nature of his performance, many fans found the set underwhelming, describing it as “serviceable” at best. We break down his setlist, from iconic tracks like “HUMBLE.” and “DNA.” to live debuts that pushed the envelope, and explore whether the performance met the monumental expectations of such a colossal stage.Finally, we unveil an unexpected Hollywood twist: Taylor Lautner is stepping into a new role as both star and executive producer of the upcoming supernatural drama series “Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter.” Developed at Amazon MGM Studios and spearheaded by showrunner Daisy Gardner, the series promises to blend action, fantasy, and a touch of celebrity intrigue as Lautner navigates his double life as a Hollywood actor and secret werewolf tracker.Join us as we explore these diverse stories that challenge conventional narratives and redefine what's possible in today's fast-paced world. Hit play, subscribe, and let us know which story grabbed you the most—whether it's the digital revolution in Dubai, the enigmatic case of Amalfi Jets, Kendrick Lamar's monumental stage, or Taylor Lautner's daring new venture. Enjoy the episode!

Welcome to Episode 174 of the What Are We Doing podcast! We're kicking off 2025 in true chaotic fashion, and this week's episode is packed with more absurdity than ever. From TikTok bans to basketball shorts at the Presidential inauguration, and the return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office, we're here to dissect it all. If you thought the first 72 hours of the new administration couldn't get any wilder, buckle up, because it's been a ride. Let's start with the TikTok ban. For 14 hours, the app was offline, and while most people slept through it, I used the opportunity for a “romantic” detox getaway with Mags. Was the ban just a publicity stunt? Probably. But hey, it's back, and Trump is already taking credit. Speaking of credit, can we talk about John Fetterman's wardrobe choices at the inauguration? I'm all for comfort, but showing up in basketball shorts and a hoodie to a formal event is pushing it. Can we collectively agree to make “Pants for Pennsylvania” a thing? Trump wasted no time signing executive orders that have everyone talking. From ending birthright citizenship to withdrawing from the Paris Agreement (again), he's on a roll. And let's not forget his decision to pardon all of the January 6th rioters. Yes, all of them. Oh, and he also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the guy behind the Silk Road. Because why not? If that wasn't enough, Trump also made Elon Musk the head of Dogecoin at a federal level. How did he land this gig? By hosting a multimillion-dollar fundraiser at his mansion with a mirrored floor. Qualifications? Optional. The new administration is shaping up to be the Avengers of inexperience. Trump's picks for key positions range from an auctioneer running the IRS to a TV doctor leading health initiatives. It's like he spun a wheel of LinkedIn profiles and said, “Close enough.” And speaking of chaos, I managed to snag a ticket to the inaugural ball, thanks to Tim Dillon. It was an unforgettable night of cringe-worthy entertainment. Between Theo Von falling out of his chair and Billy Ray Cyrus attempting to sing Old Town Road a cappella, it was pure gold. Also, Trump launched a meme coin called TrumpCoin, which has already tanked. Shocking. On a more personal note, the recent snowstorms have been wreaking havoc on the East Coast. Even Florida got snow! My son's school tried to enforce a virtual snow day for kindergarten, but we weren't having it. He was outside enjoying the snow like a normal kid. Meanwhile, in Texas, a young cancer survivor made headlines for creating a hilariously morbid snowman involving swords and fake blood. What are we doing? Switching gears, let's talk about Trisha Paytas. If you told me a few years ago that Trisha would become the queen of 2025, I'd have laughed, but here we are. Between her sold-out “Trish Era” tour, a rumored Skims collab, and a one-night Broadway show, she's thriving. It's amazing to see her transformation from internet chaos to powerhouse success. Love really does change people, doesn't it? And for the drama lovers, stay tuned for next week when we dive into the Blake Lively vs. Justin Baldoni saga. Blake calling herself “Khaleesi” in texts? Big yikes. This has all the makings of an Amber Heard/Johnny Depp 2.0 situation. Once we sort through the 90-page court deposition, we'll break it all down. It's been a wild start to the year, and it's only getting crazier. From executive orders to snow day drama and celebrity chaos, there's no shortage of things to rant about. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. What's your take on Fetterman's hoodie, Trump's executive orders, or Trisha Paytas' comeback? Let's discuss! Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the What Are We Doing podcast. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more weekly madness. If you don't have a Valentine this year, don't worry—I've got you. Until next week, peace out, and as always… what are we doing?

Buckle up, folks, because this week's episode is hotter than California itself. Literally. Episode 173 dives headfirst into the absolute chaos that is the Golden State right now, where wildfires are blazing, insurance companies are ghosting homeowners, and Governor Gavin Newsom is busy blaming pipes and wind for the inferno. Spoiler alert: we've cracked the code—wind + dry trees = disaster. Groundbreaking stuff, right? But that's just the tip of the flaming iceberg. We're dissecting Megan Markle's With Love, Megan Netflix postponement. Was it an act of compassion for fire victims, or is Meghan playing the PR game harder than a Real Housewife in Beverly Hills? You decide. Meanwhile, MrBeast is out here doing what Congress won't—handing out prosthetic legs and exposing the health care system's failures. Shocker: YouTubers shouldn't have to fix what the government refuses to address. Speaking of ridiculous stunts, Joe Exotic wants out of prison and is offering Joe Rogan a used Ford Bronco in exchange for podcast airtime. Honestly, we're here for it—imagine the content! And let's not forget the TikTok drama. Will it get banned? Will it survive? Will your thirst traps end up on Lemon8? All that and more as we debate the app's fate while lying on our mattresses “made in China.” Finally, we wrap it all up with a heartfelt prayer for Ellen DeGeneres, praise for Canada's tech contributions (shoutout Linus), and a potential trip to Niagara Falls—because sometimes you just need to escape the madness. Grab your fire extinguisher and your VPN for this one, because we're asking the big questions: What are we doing?! 0:00 - Intro: California on Fire 2:30 - Blame Game: Wind, Pipes, and Politics 7:00 - Insurance Companies Bail Out 10:15 - Megan Markle Postpones Netflix Premiere 15:45 - Biden's $750 Disaster Relief Checks 18:00 - International Aid: Ukraine and Mexico Step In 22:45 - MrBeast vs. U.S. Healthcare 30:15 - TikTok Ban Panic 37:00 - Joe Exotic's Wild Pardon Strategy 45:30 - Jimmy Fallon's YouTuber Problem 57:15 - Closing Thoughts: Grinding into 2025

Welcome to 2025, where chaos reigns supreme, and the news feels like a fever dream! In this wild episode, we dive into the week's most bizarre headlines, starting with Donald Trump's brilliant plan to rebrand the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Is it a political statement? A golf course pun? Or just another Trump power move? Either way, we're calling it the Gulf of What Are We Doing. Then we're off to the Golden Globes, where Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Taco Bell-fueled love story was almost upstaged by Zendaya's jaw-dropping engagement ring courtesy of Tom Holland. We're breaking down Selena's Taco Bell order because, let's be honest, that's the real news here. Mexican Pizza and a Chalupa? Solid choice. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle's new Netflix cooking show With Love, Meghan is here to save your mental health. Forget therapy and pills—just toss on this pastel-filled series, where Meghan's three-tier cakes and perfectly curated aesthetics will lull you into a false sense of serenity. Did she actually bake those cakes? Spoiler: absolutely not. And what's happening in North Korea? Kim Jong Un has banned hot dogs, labeling them “treasonous” and too American for his taste. Oh, and if you're thinking about getting a divorce there, prepare for labor camp. We explore what this means for your local hot dog cart and why Oscar Mayer should start panicking. Plus, Jersey Shore drama hits the North Pole as Angelina's holiday antics allegedly involve a teddy bear and a three-foot actor in a nightclub brawl. Yes, you read that right. What are we doing?! From political rebranding to culinary controversies and everything in between, we're kicking off the year with the absurdity turned up to 11. Grab a Mexican Pizza and settle in for a new season of chaos!

That's a wrap on 2024! Episode 171 of the What Are We Doing podcast is here, and it's everything you'd expect to close out a year like this—chaotic, hilarious, and slightly unhinged. From bizarre Christmas gifts to Sabrina Carpenter's Dunkin' takeover, we've covered it all. Let's dive in! First things first, I've officially peaked—the Nvidia CEO gave me sunglasses for Christmas. (Yes, the story is as ridiculous as it sounds.) On the flip side, we had the annual mom gift disaster. This year? A pair of used socks. Nobody knows whose they were, but don't worry—they've been burned. Let's face it: millennials don't want gifts unless it's cash or a $100 Amazon gift card. We've got enough going on without pretending to love another stainless steel tumbler. From Coachella to her Dunkin' collab—the Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso is already iconic—Sabrina Carpenter dominated this year. We're calling it: she's on her way to Taylor Swift-level stardom. Dunkin', take all my money. Imported from Canada, these chips are a whole experience. The Chicken Chips stole the show, while the Dirty Burger flavor was a bit heavy on the mustard. Are we the only U.S. podcast to review them? Probably. Somebody give us a trophy. Brace yourselves for 2025: Happy Gilmore 2, Now You See Me 3, and Freaky Friday 2 are all happening. Hollywood, what are we doing? And if James Cameron claims he invented fire for Avatar 3, I'm done. Turns out Honey's browser extension has been hijacking affiliate links for years, stealing commissions from creators. Shoutout to mega lag for exposing this billion-dollar scam. Honey, what are we doing? Goodbye, Party City, Big Lots, and maybe Denny's. The retail world is crumbling, but hey—2025 is the year of live e-commerce. Start streaming now or get left behind. Gypsy Rose and Ken are officially done, and her baby bump drama is peak trailer park reality TV. Will Ryan swoop in? Will Ken cry on TikTok Live? The saga continues in 2025. That's it for 2024! From bizarre stories to chaotic takes, it's been a wild ride. Catch you in 2025 with more satire, more laughs, and hopefully fewer used socks.

We've got the tree lit, the Moose mug filled, and the jersey on—peak festive vibes achieved. And as a gift to you, our loyal audience, we're delivering THE definitive Top 10 Christmas Movie Tier List for the season. Will your favorite make the cut? Stick around until the end to find out (spoiler: it's scientifically perfect). But first—housekeeping, because that's how we roll. It's over, folks. After weeks of drama, intense debates, and a twist that would make M. Night Shyamalan blush, the backdrop situation has been resolved. The verdict? Jeff's fiancée pulled him back from the brink, and he's now Team Backdrop. Los from 280+ Podcast swooped in with a killer zinger (comparing it to the Roku screensaver), and honestly, we can't unsee it. Thanks, Los. Backdrop stays—it's a holiday miracle. We've heard you. The button sound effect has been a hot topic, sparking everything from mild annoyance to death threats involving my French Bulldog, LuBug (seriously, who hurt you?). After consulting friends, family, my therapist, and even Los, we've made a decision. Instead of removing it…we're quadrupling it. That's right—four buttons, four times the chaos. Hate it? Let me know in the comments, and maybe I'll make it eight. Democracy, baby. Breaking news: Haley Welch is awake after a two-week crypto coma caused by a rug pull on her meme coin. She's back tweeting apologies and linking victims to Berwick Law (shoutout, not sponsored). Jake Paul vibes all over this, but hey, at least she's alive. Luigi Mancuso (or is it Maroni?) is being treated like Gotham's #1 villain. NYPD rolled out SWAT-level security as they paraded him through New York, and Trump weighed in with his usual “this is terrible, but I know everything” energy. The man is now sharing a jail block with Diddy and Sam Bankman-Fried. What's next? Luigi starring in a toothpaste ad? Stay tuned—your boy is headed to NYC to crack this case true-crime style. The New Jersey drones saga continues. Trump says the government knows the truth, but I'll let you decide if they're just DJI drones or the opening act for WWIII. Either way, keep your eyes on the sky and your Nerf guns locked and loaded. The Ultimate Christmas Movie Tier List - Top 10: 10. Bad Santa 9.

Episode 169: Free Joe Exotic, Pennsylvania's Gambling Crisis, The CEO Who Couldn't Escape, and Taylor Swift's Legacy Buckle up for another wild ride on What Are We Doing! This week, we kick things off with none other than Joe Exotic. Yes, the Tiger King is clawing his way back into headlines, calling on Trump (again) for a pardon while dropping prison mixtapes on Rumble. Is it desperation or just another chapter in his bonkers legacy? Either way, the tigers are waiting. Next, we head to Pennsylvania, where skill games in gas stations and bars are wreaking havoc. Are they harmless fun or unlicensed slot machines in disguise? The PA Supreme Court is stepping in, but with crime spiking and Chipotle doubling as mini-casinos, it's clear we're in deep. Pro tip: maybe don't gamble next to your burrito bowl. Then, the true-crime plotline you didn't see coming: United Healthcare's CEO is gunned down on a Manhattan sidewalk, and the suspect? Luigi Mangione—a valedictorian-turned-ghost-gun-toting vigilante. He's caught eating McDonald's fries with all the evidence in his backpack. Is he sloppy or a genius? Either way, corporate America just got a lot scarier. And speaking of things ending, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is officially over. With 149 sold-out shows and over $2 billion in ticket sales, it was nothing short of historic. As Swifties mourn the end of an era, we're manifesting the next big thing: a Miley Cyrus “Eras Tour.” Hannah Montana, “Bangers,” “Flowers”—are you listening, Miley? America's ready! Finally, Trump's back at it, launching a fragrance line called Fight Fight Fight. Is it a rallying cry in a bottle or just the olfactory equivalent of fast food? Either way, MAGA supporters can now smell like victory—or a 78-year-old Florida man. What are we doing? From prison pleas to pop stars, slot machines to scents, we've got it all.

Welcome to Episode 168 of the What Are We Doing podcast—where chaos reigns and opinions collide! This week, we're kicking things off with a hotly debated topic: my podcast backdrop. Yes, folks, Jeff hates it. While the rest of you showered it with love, Jeff's critique hit like a wrecking ball, making me reconsider the very fabric of my creative sanctuary. Jeff, if you're reading this, I need you to reflect on the damage you've done—emotionally and financially. And to everyone else? Find Jeff on Instagram and ask him why he hates the backdrop. (You know what to do.) From there, we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, mourning the end of the CW's Arrowverse. Remember when we all pretended to care about Arrow and The Flash for a few glorious seasons before collectively ghosting them? Well, it's over now, and James Gunn is to blame. Apparently, you can't have TV superheroes competing with their big-screen counterparts. Gunn shut it all down faster than a Twitter thread gone wrong. RIP, Arrowverse—we'll remember you (until tomorrow). Speaking of bizarre storylines, have you heard about the recent murder mystery in New York? A UnitedHealth CEO was assassinated outside a Hilton in what feels like a real-life Gotham plot. Silencers, cryptic shell casings, and a suspect on a bicycle—it's giving "gritty Netflix docuseries." The reward for info? A whopping $10K. Yeah, that'll definitely lure someone out of their PJs to chase down an armed assassin. Newsflash, NYPD: Add a few zeros if you want results. And then we've got the comedy world, which—like everything else—is a circus on fire. Tony Hinchcliffe dropped his new stand-up “special” called Garbage. Spoiler alert: it lives up to its name. It's filmed in a bizarre 4:3 format, has zero lighting or editing, and hinges on a 20-minute rant about banned words on YouTube. Tony, my dude, if this is what you're calling comedy in 2024, we're in trouble. Oh, and Bert Kreischer is crying about Reddit again because users are taking bets on when his lifestyle will literally take him out. Tough love, Bert, but maybe lay off the Tito's for a bit? Not to be outdone, Kendrick Lamar stirred the pot with a new track that apparently calls out white comedians for coming after Black women. Andrew Schultz, feeling particularly Cinderella-esque, slipped into the glass slipper of guilt and went full-on defensive. Andrew, buddy, if the shoe fits, lace it up. This drama is spiraling faster than Brendan Schaub's Thicc Boy podcast ratings. Meanwhile, the U.S. is stuck in its own weird timeline. Between presidential pardons, holiday chaos, and inflation making $10K feel like Monopoly money, we're all just trying to survive. Stand-up comedians are clinging to free speech like it's their last lifeline, while podcasters like me are here to document the absurdity of it all. In summary: Jeff hates my backdrop, the Arrowverse is dead, CEOs are being targeted like Batman villains, comedians are losing their grip on reality, and America is one big soap opera.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're back—episode 167, baby! I've been sick, we've got a brand-new alien invasion backdrop (shoutout to the mayor of Chicago), and I'm here to unpack it all. From Ellen DeGeneres fleeing to England with Portia (thanks, Trump), to the Thanksgiving disasters that nearly ended my family gatherings, we're covering it all. Listen, if you're still buying dry turkey and ruining your Thanksgiving, just say it—you don't care about your family. Three words: Honey Baked Ham. You're welcome. And Black Friday? I worked the system, traded in all my old Apple junk, and scored a basically free Mac Mini. Meanwhile, Best Buy and their “you can't buy an iPhone without selling your soul to a carrier” nonsense had me questioning reality. What are we doing, Best Buy?! Oh, and let's not forget: I'm here to settle the ultimate holiday debate. Is Mark Zuckerberg's Get Low cover better than Bieber's Mistletoe? I mean, who knew Zuck could… “sing”? It's chaos, it's comedy, it's What Are We Doing. Episode 167—let's go!

Alright, folks, buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the absolute circus that's gone down this week. It's official: Donald Trump is back in the White House. Yeah, you heard me right. The dude who brought us Twitter meltdowns, all-caps tweets at 2 AM, and a MAGA movement that just won't quit is officially the 47th President of the United States, according to Vanity Fair's latest digital cover. And let me tell you, the internet exploded. Vanity Fair's IG post racked up more likes than that one time Kim K's kid painted a “masterpiece.”

Here we go with Episode 165 – packed tighter than a Costco on a Saturday. First up, Joe Rogan's playing the unexpected comedy advisor. He warned his buddy Tony Hinchcliffe not to use a Puerto Rico joke at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. But Tony, being Tony, went rogue, comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage” – and let's just say, the crowd's reaction was... mixed. Both Republicans and Democrats were quick to critique, but Rogan claims, “it kills in clubs,” while hinting Tony might “get stabbed” for it one day. Classic Rogan. And his verdict? The controversy will “blow over” – but will it really? Time will tell. Then there's Jimmy Fallon, who managed to go viral himself, but for all the wrong reasons. He brought on the Costco Guys – TikTok stars AJ, Big Justice, and the young Rizzler – to break down their “Boom meter.” But things got awkward fast. As they geared up to shout a chorus of “five booms,” Fallon interrupted, essentially shutting down their joy faster than you can say “low energy.” Viewers noticed Jimmy's barely concealed contempt and roasted him for not appreciating the “whimsy” of the trio. It's safe to say Fallon's audience loves the Costco Guys a lot more than he does. And finally, we've got a wildcard: breakdancer Raygun. After her Olympic debut went viral (and not in the way she'd hoped), Raygun's back with the #RaygunChallenge, inviting everyone to “out-dance” her for cash. Critics are tearing her apart, labeling her moves as “cringe” and “very basic street dancing,” but hey, she's still laughing all the way to the bank with that sponsorship deal. This episode unpacks the debate – is she milking her fame, or just proving that any publicity is good publicity? So, get ready as we dive into comedy blunders, TikTok tension, and Olympic-level facepalms. It's all here, raw and unfiltered, on Episode 165 of What Are We Doing. This week's all about the fine line between internet gold and absolute disaster.

Little Durk's in the slammer on federal charges, and with him out of the game, I'm ready to take up the torch. Who else is going to fill the rap void now? Listen up, because it might be time for my return with fire holiday mixtapes, verses hotter than ever. Yes, 2010 Levi is back in action—brace yourselves for the most electrifying comeback in hip-hop history. Then, New York City, of course, brings us something only 2024 could cook up—a fire hydrant fish pond. Yep, that's right, some residents with way too much time (and way too many goldfish) decided to turn a leaky hydrant into an urban aquarium. It's the cringe virality of 2024: fish swimming in questionable city water. And guess who highlighted this for us? Casey Neistat, king of “going viral.” But the dream ends here, folks, because the NYC Fire Department eventually got fed up and shut it down. No hydrant aquarium, no fish funerals in New York's unofficial ponds—what a loss for culture, am I right? Now let's dive into Love is Blind Season 7. We're down to just a couple of success stories, but most of these couples… total trainwrecks. Some broke up for logical reasons, like Ramses and Marissa, who figured they'd had enough of each other before even tying the knot. But let's be real, many of these contestants couldn't even handle boiling pasta or owning a decent suit. Justice for Nick D, though—this man deserves his redemption arc for sure. Last but not least, the McDonald's shift heard ‘round the world: Donald Trump slinging fries in Pennsylvania as a “man of the people” stunt. Turns out Gen Z found it pretty hilarious and kind of liked it, which either means he's nailed viral marketing, or we're all desperate for laughs at this point. But of course, it didn't come without a dig at Kamala Harris, questioning if she really did flip those burgers in her youth. I'll tell you what, Trump might not be working at McD's full-time, but hey, if he shows up in a visor next, we're getting popcorn and settling in. So, don't miss next week when we break down the Love is Blind reunion, more holiday mixtape announcements, and all the pop-culture twists you know you need. Catch us on all your favorite platforms and don't forget—Levi from What are We Doing for president.

This week, we took over a high school homecoming, and let me tell you, after hearing about the DJ disaster they had last year, I knew I had to swoop in and save the day. Last year's guy played all the wrong songs, capped the night with Mamba—which, I mean, why? So, they canned him and called in the pro (yours truly). The kids? They had a blast. I'm talking, Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield brought the house down. You know you've hit the right note when an entire room of teenagers collectively loses their minds two seconds into a song. Then came Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson, because obviously, you can't go wrong with early 2000s anthems at a 2024 homecoming. These kids? They get it. Who knew? But, let's get to the meat of this episode. We're in the final stretch, people—the 2024 election is less than 20 days away. And let's be real, nobody has any idea who they're voting for. We've got Zaddy Trumpets out here spinning his usual “policies” (read: nonsense). He's supposed to be answering questions at a town hall but ends up playing DJ with his summer playlist while people literally pass out from heat exhaustion. Instead of answering questions like a normal candidate, he's out here doing the YMCA for 40 minutes straight. I mean, what are we doing? But the highlight? Trump's diving into crypto now—yep, you heard me. He's promoting some sketchy token called “Liberty Financial.” Look, if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and dump your entire savings into it, but I wouldn't recommend it (not financial advice, wink, wink). The best part? You can't even withdraw your money until the “scheme”—I mean, system—decides you can. Yeah, read the fine print, folks. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is jumping on the Trump train, donating millions and becoming Trump's new bestie after they were practically enemies a few weeks ago. Musk is now campaigning in Pennsylvania like he's the freaking Director of Government Efficiency, which is a real job title Trump invented just for him. Honestly, the whole thing is starting to feel like a crossover episode of The Apprentice and Shark Tank. And if all that wasn't enough, we've got Ice Cube dropping new music—yes, that Ice Cube. The man who hasn't rapped in forever decided now is the time. I don't think anyone's listening to it, but hey, props to him for trying. Exhibit's also crawling out of retirement with a new album on a record label run by… wait for it… Conor McGregor. Yes, because when I think “music mogul,” I totally think “MMA fighter.” What are we doing? Oh, and shoutout to Dasani. They're back with a new formula—now without salt. Yes, that's right. The selling point for water is that it finally doesn't have salt in it. What a groundbreaking concept. Welcome to 2024, people. That's it for this week. It's all a mess, and I'm just here trying to make sense of it. If you haven't subscribed to the YouTube channel yet, what are you even doing? See you next week for more chaos.

In Episode 162 of the *What Are We Doing* podcast, I dove headfirst into a surreal whirlwind of headlines and hypothetical chaos—because what better way to spend an hour than questioning reality itself? From Elon Musk's over-the-top alliance with Trump to Red Lobster's bankruptcy recovery plan, there was no shortage of jaw-dropping moments. First up, Elon Musk is now not just Tesla's kingpin but apparently Trump's number one fanboy. Yes, the richest guy in the world is practically living in Pennsylvania, convinced it's the key to Trump's re-election. He's pouring millions into America PAC, hiring canvassers like it's a start-up launch, and has been hanging out with Trump like they're frat brothers. Musk's dedication goes beyond just tweets; he's bought a “dark MAGA” hat and even plans a campaign bus tour. The world's richest man might be funding Trump's campaign, but hey, at least he's finally putting his billions to *some* kind of use, right? Then, we switch gears to a much scarier topic: Halloween costumes. After countless trips to Spirit Halloween, I finally locked in the ultimate get-up—Twilight masks. Yes, I'm talking Team Edward and Team Jacob here, folks. I'm channeling my inner vampire heartthrob with an Edward mask that'll have you second-guessing who's really under it. The Jacob mask? Equally terrifying, and definitely not something you'd want to stumble upon in a dark alley. So, it's time for a serious debate: Team Edward or Team Jacob? Drop your answers in the comments—because I'm ready to defend my sparkly vampire alter ego to the bitter end. And while we're on the subject of hilariously bizarre, let's talk about Trump's latest merch—because apparently, he's not just selling coins and Bibles anymore. Enter the “Trump Wand,” a so-called “presidential pleasure device” designed for patriotic folks tired of buying foreign-made goods. Imagine, if you will, a world where every OnlyFans creator wields a Trump Wand for that premium content boost. It's a stroke of marketing genius—pun very much intended—and yet another reminder that in this election cycle, *anything* goes. Next up, I delve into Red Lobster's insane comeback story. After filing for bankruptcy, they've placed their fate in the hands of a fresh-faced 35-year-old CEO straight out of P.F. Chang's. His first act? Ditching the “Endless Shrimp” promotion that nearly tanked the company. But don't worry, the Cheddar Bay Biscuits are still flowing, and they're even celebrating with a new promotion for four years of free Red Lobster. Apparently, nothing says “we're back from the dead” like giving away even more free food—because if endless shrimp didn't sink them, surely a biscuit bonanza will. And of course, we couldn't get through an episode without Elon's next big venture: an army of Tesla robots. The man who gave us reusable rockets now wants to flood the market with Optimus bots that will soon be doing everything from babysitting your kids to checking your mail. I can't help but wonder, is Musk trying to replace *me*? These bots can serve drinks, water plants, and basically do all the things humans were once paid for. With a price tag between $20,000 and $30,000, these robo-butlers are poised to take over. Just think—someday soon, you might be handing your kid over to a Tesla bot instead of a babysitter. And I, for one, am not sure how I feel about being replaced by a metal clone. In true *What Are We Doing* fashion, I'm here to make you laugh, cringe, and question the absurdity of it all. Whether you're on Team Musk or Team Edward, one thing's for sure—2024 is gearing up to be one heck of a ride. So grab a Cheddar Bay Biscuit, hold onto your Trump Wand, and buckle up, because we're just getting started. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

I finally reveal the truth about my 2011 invite to a P. Diddy party. Spoiler alert: I swallowed a balloon during a magic trick and—well, let's just say Diddy was very impressed. Fast forward, and now there's a wild connection to why I was there... I might need therapy after this realization. Next up, we dig into some serious shenanigans involving Trump and his merch hustle. Yes, he's out here selling watches, coins, and even Bibles—because why not? And the man still has time to drop not one, not two, but FOUR NFT collections. Someone, please, tell me what we're doing. Oh, and don't even get me started on the real-life Frankenstein—some guy in Montana cloned a sheep and now he's creating hybrid creatures for hunting. The future is here, and it's freakin' terrifying. Finally, we wrap it all up with a deep dive into the Costco Family. I've seen some cringe on the internet, but these guys take the cake—or, I guess, the chicken bake. They're going full throttle with their catchphrase “Boom!” while the dad drives his kids insane.

Welcome to episode 160 of the What Are We Doing podcast, where we dive into this week's dumpster fire of news that's almost too ridiculous to believe. So, what's the hottest duo in town right now? No, not Kanye and his latest wife. We're talking about Sean Diddy Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried, shacked up together in the luxurious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Yep, Diddy's in there on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, denied bail not once, but twice—because, I guess, they just couldn't risk him starting another bad boy reunion tour from behind bars. Meanwhile, Sam's probably showing him how to trade prison food for crypto, and Diddy's making plans for the hottest new jailhouse mixtape. What are we doing? Then we shift gears to everyone's favorite former president turned late-night infomercial king, Donald Trump, who's apparently decided that being a GOP nominee just isn't enough. He's out here selling Trump Watches—because why not throw down $100K on a timepiece with his mug on it? And oh yeah, don't forget the Trump Coins. Perfect for when you want to pay your mortgage in pure patriotism. We're living in a world where a guy facing multiple indictments is out here launching a new cryptocurrency and pushing luxury merch like it's QVC on steroids. What are we doing? Oh, and Apple dropped the iPhone 16 this year—big whoop. It's got a new camera button, a slightly faster chip, and a whole lot of promises about this thing called Apple Intelligence. Spoiler alert: it's not ready yet. So if you just dropped a grand on the newest iPhone hoping for an AI assistant that's actually useful, congratulations—you've been bamboozled. But hey, at least you've got the same crappy Siri from your iPhone 12 on a shinier screen! What are we doing? So grab your overpriced Trump watch, your soon-to-be-worthless Trump Coin, and your half-baked iPhone 16, and let's figure out together what in the actual hell is going on. This is episode 160, baby.

In this bombshell 159th episode of the "What Are We Doing" podcast, Levi McCurdy goes off the rails to break down some of the wildest headlines in pop culture. Buckle up as we navigate through the latest scandals, epic fails, and jaw-dropping news that have set the internet ablaze. From legal battles to unexpected comebacks, this episode has it all. First up: Sean “Diddy” Combs. The legendary music mogul finds himself behind bars, accused of sex trafficking, racketeering, and running an empire of wild "freak-off" parties. Levi dives into the sordid details, from damning text messages to the infamous baby oil art installation (no, seriously), and questions what on earth Diddy has been doing with his billions. Diddy's fall from grace isn't just about his shocking behavior—Levi dissects the cultural impact and the eerie parallels to Epstein-level controversies. With witness intimidation fears and disturbing past patterns coming to light, this saga is far from its final chapter. Meanwhile, over in the land of influencer insanity: MrBeast, Logan Paul, and KSI have launched “Lunchly,” their so-called healthier alternative to Lunchables. Levi rips into this new kids' meal brand that's loaded with Prime drinks and Feastables candy bars, exposing the ridiculousness of pretending processed snacks are suddenly "good for you" because they're rebranded by internet celebs. Spoiler: the real nutritional comparison isn't quite the flex they think it is. Levi skewers their strategy, pointing out that targeting kids with flashy marketing is a desperate grab for relevance in a market that's seen it all. Then there's Logan Paul and MrBeast's lawsuits. While Logan Paul battles legal woes over Prime and forever plastics, MrBeast is facing scrutiny for his Amazon show, which brings into question the darker side of influencer culture. Levi doesn't hold back in his criticism, mocking the pair's desperate attempts to conquer the food aisle while dodging courtrooms. The duo's empire of "better-for-you" products seems built on shaky ground, with their legal troubles casting a long shadow over their glossy public images. And let's not forget Red Lobster. After emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the beloved seafood chain is clawing its way back to success, and Levi is here for it. With a new CEO at the helm, Red Lobster is ready for a fresh start, proving that it takes more than cheddar biscuits to stay afloat in a sea of competition. Levi breaks down the business strategies, the celebrity shout-outs, and why this American staple isn't going down without a fight. As the restaurant landscape continues to shift, Red Lobster's comeback serves as a testament to resilience in the face of near-collapse. This episode is a rollercoaster of celebrity scandals, questionable business ventures, and Levi's signature sarcasm. Whether it's Diddy's scandalous downfall, Lunchly's laughable attempt to outdo Lunchables, or Red Lobster's fight for survival, Levi keeps it real with unfiltered commentary on the state of pop culture.

Alright, friends, it's yours truly, Levi, and I am back in the saddle for this wild ride of episode 158. In it, first up we have Trump once again spiraling out after his most recent debate disaster, throwing out insane conspiracy theories; this one is about people in Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and dogs. Yes, you heard it right. The dude is on another tear, saying things that would be ill-advised to put on your Facebook wall, never mind a live television program. We get into the weeds, breaking down how this rumor took a life of its own, and also, why JD Vance thought this was a great idea to pass on some nonsense with Trump. And if that's not all, we delve into the drama of the Super Bowl Halftime show announcement: Kendrick Lamar? Really? I break down why this choice has left so many of us scratching our heads and what it could spell out for the show. Will he drop a new album just to give us something fresh? Who knows! But one thing's for sure: If I hear "Not Like Us" more than once, I'll be shipping LuBug off to Ohio (just kidding, LuBug, you're safe!). And while speaking of wild rumors, could it really happen that Taylor Swift is a surprise guest? Doubtful, but hey, it's all a possibility in this world of insanity. Touch on legends including Lil Wayne and his reaction to not getting picked for the Super Bowl show in his hometown. We spoil it: he is not happy and neither is Birdman. I break down why Lil Wayne's features could have made him the perfect pick, and what it says about the music business now. Oh, and did I mention the latest product drop from Trump? Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, we now have Trumptastic Trout: the animatronic talking fish that's going to make your next fishing trip, or political rally, really stand out. This thing's ridiculous, and of course, I'm all over it. Lastly, I take some potshots at the most recent Gen Z trend—drunk alter-egos. What's the deal with suddenly everyone having a different name when they've had one too many? JoJo Siwa becomes "Radical Rick," Haley Welch turns into "Harley," but this means very little for the rest of us. Probably not, but it sure is fun to talk about. All that and more in this jam-packed episode. Hit play, grab some popcorn, and let's journey together through the ridiculousness of it all. And don't forget to comment, saying sorry to Raygun, the number one breakdancer in the world, or she'll just turn up in your bedroom at 3 AM with her entire dance crew.

First up, we've got Alex Cooper, the queen of the Call Her Daddy empire, making headlines again with her latest move. She's signed a mega-deal with SiriusXM, and when I say mega, I mean MEGA. We're talking a cool $100-125 million over just three years. Yep, you heard that right. Alex is moving on from Spotify and bringing her Daddy Gang over to SiriusXM, where she'll continue to dish out that no-holds-barred content we all know and love. And let's not forget, this deal isn't just about the money—although, let's be real, that's a big part of it—it's about Alex expanding her empire with her Unwell Audio Network. The Daddy Gang is about to get a whole lot bigger, and I'm here for it. Now, speaking of drama, Anna Delvey—yes, the infamous fake heiress—is back in the news, and this time, she's got some beef with Whoopi Goldberg and the ladies of The View. After Whoopi made a comment about Delvey still owing people money, our girl Anna wasn't having it. She's demanding an apology, claiming she paid everyone back years ago. And as if that's not enough, she's about to strut her stuff on Dancing with the Stars—ankle monitor and all. The saga of Anna Delvey continues, and honestly, it's the reality TV drama we didn't know we needed. But wait, there's more. Former President Donald Trump has officially entered the TikTok chat, and he's making some bold claims. According to Trump, if you want to save TikTok in America, you better vote for him. That's right, folks. In this bizarre twist of 2024 politics, Trump is now positioning himself as the savior of everyone's favorite time-wasting app. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris is giving him a run for his money, having gained 5 million followers since she jumped on the TikTok bandwagon. And here's the kicker—a recent poll shows young voters are flipping faster than a pancake on a hot griddle, now favoring Harris over Trump by 13 points. The fight for TikTok is real, and it's bringing out all the stops in this election. So, what do we make of all this? On one hand, we've got Alex Cooper leveling up in the podcasting game, Anna Delvey demanding receipts, and Trump making TikTok the latest battleground in the 2024 election. On the other hand, I think we all need a moment to just breathe—because it's only September, and things are already getting wild. Join me as I unpack all these stories with a side of sarcasm, a dash of disbelief, and maybe a sprinkle of “what the actual…?” Because if there's one thing I've learned this week, it's that nothing—and I mean nothing—should surprise us anymore. Catch all the tea on today's episode, and as always, don't forget to like, subscribe, and share the madness with your friends.

Welcome back to another episode of “What are We Doing,” where we take the latest wild news and give it the roasting it deserves. This week, we're diving into the saga of a sunken superyacht, Trump's unexpected fertility plan, and Subway's attempt to stay relevant with a discount that's got franchisees ready to riot. First, let's talk about the Bayesian superyacht. This wasn't just any boat—it was a $40 million, 184-foot-long symbol of excess that met its match in a Mediterranean storm. One minute, it's a floating palace; the next, it's an underwater art exhibit. But the real story here isn't just the yacht going down faster than the Titanic—it's the insurance nightmare that followed. The hull was insured for around $40 million, but the real kicker is the protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance, covering all the “oops” moments—like, you know, accidental deaths and environmental disasters. Estimates put the P&I coverage somewhere between $200-300 million. Yep, when you're that rich, even your accidents need to be insured for more than a small country's GDP. And now, the investigation begins. Prosecutors are looking into the captain and crew, but don't hold your breath for answers anytime soon. Meanwhile, Captain James Cutfield pulled a classic “I'm outta here,” catching a private jet out of Palermo faster than you can say, “Not my problem.” Where he's headed? Who knows. Maybe he's off to find the next yacht to sink. As for the insurance companies, they're probably regretting every decision that led them to insure yachts in the first place. Premiums have been skyrocketing thanks to hurricanes and other “acts of God,” and now they're dealing with a sunken superyacht. Climate change might be sinking the yacht industry, but at least it's keeping the insurance companies busy. Now, onto Trump's latest “brilliant” idea: funding IVF treatments. Yes, the man who overturned Roe v. Wade now wants to play the fertility fairy. Trump's promising to either foot the bill for in vitro fertilization or force insurance companies to do it. Because nothing says “pro-life” like helping people create embryos while simultaneously trying to criminalize what happens to them afterward. The Harris-Walz campaign is all over this, reminding everyone that Trump is the reason Roe v. Wade is history and now he's trying to play nice by offering to pay for baby-making treatments. It's a classic case of trying to have your cake and eat it too, but this cake is made of contradictions and empty promises. And finally, we've got Subway's latest attempt to stay in the fast-food game with a $6.99 footlong deal. Franchisees across the country are ready to revolt, and honestly, who can blame them? Subway's asking these folks to take a massive hit to their already thin margins just to offer a discount on a sandwich that's barely worth it at full price. The North American Association of Subway Franchisees (NAASF) is telling its members to sit this one out unless they're cool with losing money faster than a gambler on a losing streak. Subway's been struggling for years, and this promotion isn't helping. Even Patrick Mahomes holding a footlong and a cookie can't save this sinking ship. So, there you have it! A yacht that couldn't handle a little wind, Trump playing fertility fairy, and a sandwich chain clinging to relevance. Just another day in the world of “What are We Doing?” where the news is crazier than fiction, and we're all just trying to keep up. Catch you next time, and remember: if your yacht insurance isn't worth more than your house, are you even really living? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

Hey, it's Levi, your favorite podcast host back at it again with another episode of "What Are We Doing?" And let me tell you, this one's a doozy. So, picture this: Theo Von, the stand-up comedian who can turn any conversation into a circus, somehow ended up interviewing none other than Donald Trump. Yeah, that Donald Trump. The two of them sat down at Trump's golf club in New Jersey—because where else would you have a casual chat about addiction and the 2024 election? In what can only be described as a surreal mix of reality TV and a fever dream, Trump decided to ask Theo about his history with cocaine and alcohol. Because when you're the former leader of the free world, that's the natural direction for a conversation to take, right? Anyway, Trump, who's apparently never touched a drop of alcohol or a single cigarette in his life (make of that what you will), shared a bit about his older brother, Fred Trump Jr., who struggled with alcoholism and passed away in 1981. Trump's life advice? "No drugs, no drinking, no cigarettes." And if you're thinking that sounds like a recipe for a very dull Saturday night, well, I'm with you. Theo, being Theo, didn't shy away from the topic and laid it all out there—he's in recovery from drug and alcohol use. And of course, Trump, with his trademark subtlety, asked Theo if cocaine is a "stronger up" than alcohol. You can't make this stuff up. Theo's response? "Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie, you know what I'm saying? You'll be out on your own porch, you'll be your own streetlamp." And honestly, I don't know if I'm more impressed with the description or concerned that it's probably accurate. But the episode wasn't just about who's been on what substance. Trump, never one to miss an opportunity to talk politics, dove into a whole range of topics, from healthcare to the 2024 election, and of course, threw in a few jabs at Biden and Kamala Harris. Speaking of Harris, she's been on a bit of a tear lately, and it's got the Trump camp shaking in their boots. After her speech at the Democratic National Convention, it's looking like she might just be the candidate of change that voters are craving—or at least that's what the headlines are saying. Is Trump worried? Probably. Should he be? That's for you to decide. And just when you thought this episode couldn't get any weirder, Chick-Fil-A decided they wanted a piece of the entertainment pie. Yep, the chicken sandwich empire is launching its own streaming platform. Because when you think "entertainment," naturally your mind goes straight to fast food, right? They're cooking up (pun intended) some family-friendly content, including a game show, because who doesn't want to watch contestants try to win prizes while craving waffle fries? So, there you have it. We've got Trump, Theo Von, cocaine stories, and Chick-Fil-A's Hollywood ambitions all wrapped up in one wild episode. If you're here for the laughs, the political hot takes, or just to see how absurd things can get, you're in the right place. Buckle up, because this episode is one crazy ride.

Let's kick things off with the internet's latest bizarre twist: Donald Trump accepting Taylor Swift's non-existent endorsement for his presidential campaign. Yes, you heard that right. In true Trump fashion, he took to Truth Social to “accept” Swift's endorsement, despite the fact that it never happened. The cherry on top? The images he posted are blatantly AI-generated. I mean, come on, Trump, you really think Swifties are jumping on the MAGA train after an ISIS plot was thwarted at one of her concerts? It's the kind of satire that writes itself, and yet, here we are, living it. Now, this isn't just your run-of-the-mill internet trolling. It's a glimpse into how AI can fuel misinformation at breakneck speed. With the release of Elon Musk's unhinged AI model, the internet is now a playground for deepfakes, and Trump just couldn't resist joining in on the fun. But let's be real, Taylor Swift endorsing Trump? That's as likely as me giving up podcasting to go back to trade school (we'll get to that in a bit). Speaking of satire, let's talk about my latest YouTube commenter who goes by the name FBGM Road Runner 456. This guy decided to grace my channel with his wisdom, telling me to “go to trade school” and calling my pop culture takes irrelevant. Two clown emojis and a poorly thought-out argument later, I found myself in a back-and-forth that could only be described as pure comedy gold. You see, this is what I love about the internet—everyone thinks they're an expert. But what FBGM doesn't know is that I already went to trade school. Graduated in 2010, thank you very much! But instead of working with my hands, I'm out here podcasting from my (fake) penthouse, living my best life, and getting my student loans forgiven. And no, I'm not lying about the helicopter rides to NYC. If you've got something to say, say it, but just know I'm zooming past you at 5,000 feet. Now, back to the AI chaos. The fact that anyone can create and share these AI-generated images is both hilarious and terrifying. We've got Trump as Uncle Sam, Swifties in MAGA hats, and even Zaddy Trump wielding an AR-15 on a plane (seriously, what are we doing?). The lack of restrictions on these models is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it's a playground for satire and absurdity. On the other, it's a breeding ground for misinformation that could have real-world consequences. But here's the kicker—Trump genuinely seems to believe in the power of these fake endorsements. It's like we've entered a parallel universe where facts are irrelevant, and the only thing that matters is what you can convince people to believe. And while it's easy to laugh at the absurdity of it all, it also serves as a stark reminder of the power and potential danger of AI in shaping public perception. Shifting gears a bit, let's talk about Philip DeFranco. I've been a fan of Phil for over 15 years, but lately, things have taken a turn. The once-vibrant and dynamic show that I grew up watching has transformed into something...well, a bit sad. Phil's moved from a slick studio to what looks like a spare bedroom, and his latest merch drop? Blank t-shirts, folks. BLANK. And he's asking us to tip him on top of it. Phil, what are we doing? It's a stark contrast from the days of SourceFed and the glory of the early 2010s. Now, it seems like the quality has dipped, and the content feels more like a cash grab than the passionate, informative show it once was. And don't get me started on the tipping culture rant. Phil's been railing against the explosion of tipping for years, and yet here he is, asking for tips on his merch site. It's the kind of hypocrisy that makes you question everything. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

Hey, beautiful people! It's your favorite podcast host, Levi, back with another episode of “What Are We Doing?”—the podcast where we dig into the weirdest, wildest, and most absurd corners of the internet. And trust me, Episode 153 is an absolute rollercoaster. First up, we dive headfirst into the bizarre and slightly disturbing world of MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, who's basically the fairy godmother of YouTube...if fairy godmothers were known for their multi-million dollar stunts and borderline dangerous challenges. This guy has been giving away everything from private islands to stacks of cash, but it turns out his latest venture, “Beast Games,” wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Think “Hunger Games” meets “Squid Game” but with a sprinkle of YouTube insanity. Contestants were practically signing up for a buffet of suffering, where the menu included starvation, injury, and the occasional stretcher ride. All for a shot at 5 million bucks. But hey, who doesn't love a good public display of questionable ethics, right? Then, we switch gears and jet over to Vienna, where a pair of not-so-savvy villains had some twisted plans for a Taylor Swift concert. Yeah, you heard that right. These wannabe terrorists were gearing up for a massive attack at Tay-Tay's show, aiming to outdo the worst tragedies of the past decade. But plot twist—thanks to some sharp-eyed U.S. intelligence, their sinister scheme was foiled before anyone could say “Shake It Off.” The concert? Canceled. The fans? Devastated. The suspects? Rotting away in a cold Austrian cell. Karma, as they say, is real. And finally, we wrap up with the wackiest story of them all—RFK Jr. and his dead bear debacle in Central Park. Yes, RFK Jr., the guy who thinks vaccines are the devil's work and has a talent for stumbling into controversy like it's his day job, decided to spice things up by dumping a bear carcass in Central Park. Why, you ask? Apparently, he thought it would be “funny” to make it look like a cyclist killed the bear. Spoiler alert: it wasn't. But hey, at least it wasn't another conspiracy theory, right? So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and prepare for a deep dive into the minds of people who probably shouldn't be left unsupervised. This episode is packed with jaw-dropping moments, a touch of sarcasm, and that sexy Levi flair you know and love. Don't miss it—Episode 153 is live now!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the "What Are We Doing?" podcast. My name is Levi, and this is episode 151. Strap in, because today, we're diving headfirst into the wild and wacky world of politics, absurdity, and the downright bizarre. To kick things off, let's talk about the next president of the United States. Elections matter, folks. When people vote, they order what they want, and this time, they got exactly what they asked for. It's time for us to do what we've been doing, and that time is every day. We need to talk about the significance of the passage of time. When you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time. Standing here on the Northern flank, the Eastern flank, talking about our NATO allies, we see a country in Europe called Ukraine being invaded by a bigger, more powerful country called Russia. It's wrong, plain and simple. We must work together to address the challenges we face and seize the moment to make possible what is unburdened by what has been. Switching gears, let's dive into the chaotic political landscape. We're dumping Trump, he's out, and Biden is out too. Biden sent a breakup tweet, and now, in the style of a high school drama, we're moving on. Trump got shot 13 days ago, Biden's out, and Kamala Harris is stepping up with record-setting donations and support. America wanted someone younger, and now it seems we're getting Kamala Harris as the nominee. What's up with this word salad, though? Is it the MK Ultra that scrambles politicians' brains? Trump, Biden, and even Kamala—they all have their moments of verbal chaos. And speaking of chaos, JD Vance, who's apparently always supported Trump, is now a vice-presidential nominee. Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” has some…interesting stories from his youth, let's say. Latex gloves and couch cushions? What are we doing? As we ponder the strange political maneuvers and endorsements, the question remains: who do we want? A coconut-falling Kamala or a murky Joe Biden? It's an election cycle for the ages, with surprises around every corner. And JD Vance? Keep him off your couch, folks. Now, on a lighter note, let's talk about the Olympics. Snoop Dogg is there, carrying the torch, living his best life. Snoop Dogg, who has done everything from cereal endorsements to owning a football team, is now lighting up the Olympics. Can we just appreciate how Snoop Dogg has managed to live out every dream he's ever had? It's inspirational. Switching to some personal news, I've been busy. I just got back from a grand opening event for another Dunkin' Donuts. DJ Daddy Donuts, out here cooking up some batter and playing tunes to turn cars into a Dunkin' factory. We had a blast with the mascot, raffles, and free coffee for a year. People showed up in droves, and we even gave away a 65-inch TV. What are we doing, right? In other news, Tim Dillon is returning to Netflix with a new talk show-style special on America and current events. Tim's no-holds-barred humor will surely make this special a must-watch, especially with the backdrop of the upcoming election. Tim's podcast, "The Tim Dillon Show," averages a million viewers a week, proving his unique take on politics and society resonates with many. As we wrap up this episode, let's talk about something crucial for all the new podcasters out there: consistency. If you're starting a podcast, just put out episodes. Stick to your craft and give it time. Genuine content, face-to-face interactions, and being the face of your brand are what will drive your success. And with that, it's time to catch 75 more Pokémon, get my Link cable ready, and maybe fall out of a coconut tree or two. Thanks for tuning in to episode 151 of the "What Are We Doing?" podcast. Until next time, keep asking, "What are we doing?" and let's keep it weird. You just fell out of a coconut tree, you exist in the coconut tree.

This week, we delve into the dramatic incident at former President Donald J. Trump's rally in Butler, PA. Imagine the scene: Trump was on stage, speaking about illegal immigration, when suddenly, chaos erupted. Multiple shots were fired toward the stage, resulting in one tragic death and two critical injuries. Secret Service agents swiftly whisked Trump off the stage, his right ear visibly bloodied. Despite the pandemonium, Trump, ever the showman, managed to pump his fist in a defiant gesture before being hurried away. The suspected shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, PA, was killed by counter snipers. This tragic event is being investigated as an assassination attempt and a potential act of domestic terrorism. As details continue to emerge, the FBI and Attorney General's office are working tirelessly to piece together the shooter's motives and actions. Federal law enforcement discovered an AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle on Crooks and three explosive devices, adding a chilling layer to the investigation. Crooks, described by former classmates as intelligent but solitary, had a history that is now under intense scrutiny. We'll break down the sequence of events, from the first shots to the aftermath, examining the security lapses and the heroic actions of the Secret Service. We'll also hear from witnesses and analyze the impact of this attempt on Trump's campaign and security protocols. The rally, intended to galvanize Trump's base, turned into a scene of terror, with attendees screaming, seeking cover, and some even praying amidst the chaos. The Secret Service's swift response likely saved many lives, but the incident raises serious questions about rally security and the ease with which the shooter reached his firing position. Join me as we navigate through this tense and gripping story, reflecting on the implications for political rallies and public safety. We'll also discuss the broader context of political violence in America and what this means for future public events. How did Crooks manage to get so close to the rally with such dangerous weapons? What can be done to prevent future incidents? We'll explore these questions and more, providing you with the latest updates and expert insights.

First up, we dive into Sabrina Carpenter's fiery interview on “Hot Ones.” Imagine trying to keep your cool while Sean Evans mercilessly serves you wings hotter than the sun. Sabrina, bless her soul, talked about her hit song “Espresso” while desperately trying not to combust. The hook “That's that me espresso” became an instant meme legend for its... let's say, unique syntax. She defended her lyrical choice by basically saying, “If you don't get the joke, the joke's on you.” Honestly, Sabrina, if you can deliver punchlines while your taste buds are having a meltdown, you're a hero in my book. Plus, she almost sued Sean for the pain – now that's spicy! Next, let's talk about our President Joe Biden's latest verbal gymnastics routine. It's like he's auditioning for a political version of “Who's Line Is It Anyway?” At the NATO summit, he accidentally called Ukrainian President Zelenskiy, “President Putin.” Talk about a plot twist! As if that wasn't enough, he then mixed up Kamala Harris with Donald Trump. “I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump if she wasn't qualified to be president.” Well, Joe, that's one heck of a hypothetical reality show I don't want to see. And for the grand finale, he couldn't quite get “chiefs of staff” right, calling them “commander in chief.” Someone get this man a teleprompter and a nap, stat! Speaking of political theater, Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet for a golf match against Biden. Trump is convinced this will be the most-watched sporting event ever. Honestly, he might be right. I mean, who doesn't want to see two septuagenarians duke it out on the green? Trump sweetened the deal by promising a $1 million check to charity if Biden wins. Now that's some high-stakes mini-golf drama! Ernie Els even confirmed Trump's hole-in-one from 2022. Yes, folks, miracles do happen – especially when Trump's PR team is around. Brian Jack from Georgia also chimed in, praising Trump's golf game and claiming he shot a 70. I'd believe it if we were playing by Trump's rules, which I'm guessing involve a lot of mulligans and “alternative facts.” This week's episode is a rollercoaster of spice, slips, and swings. From Sabrina Carpenter's sizzling serenade to Biden's bloopers and Trump's golfing gauntlet, we've covered all the bases. Tune in to hear our takes, laughs, and possibly some tears (mostly from Sabrina's hot sauce ordeal). That's it for this week's episode of “What Are We Doing.” Stay tuned, stay spicy, and remember – if your espresso sounds weird, just say it's a punchline.

So, picture this: Justin Timberlake and I tearing it up at Hershey Park on the 4th of July. Yup, you heard that right. We rode the Great Bear non-stop for two and a half hours. Why? Because when JT hands you what you think is Tylenol, it's anything but. We had a blast – headache or not, it was an unforgettable roller coaster marathon. After the rides, we treated JT to the finest dining Hershey has to offer – the one and only Red Robin. We went all out with the onion ring tower, and Justin's bodyguard tackled the new gold Olympic medal burger. Spoiler: It's massive and costs $199.99. But no worries, JT picked up the tab. From there, it was straight to his concert – from the best seats in the house, of course! Just when you thought it couldn't get crazier, we jetted off to Michael Ruben's all-white party. Imagine rubbing elbows with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Drake, and even Bill Gates. Yes, Bill Gates and I had a life-changing chat. My financial future is now set, people. It was a whirlwind 24 hours of rubbing shoulders with the who's who of the celebrity world. Why did all this happen? Because our podcast hit one million views on YouTube! That's right, folks. We've gone viral, and the invitations came pouring in. Justin Timberlake's team, Mr. Beast (or Jimmy, as I call him now), and the entire crew wanted to celebrate with us. We couldn't be more grateful to all of you for getting us here. Now, for the not-so-great news. Remember Charlotte, the pregnant stingray from the North Carolina aquarium? Well, she's no longer with us. Turns out, there was no miraculous pregnancy – just a rare reproductive disease. We dug deep, and it seems the aquarium might have known for a while. Charlotte's been gone longer than we thought, but they kept the story alive for the donations. Sneaky, right? And speaking of sneaky, two Lancaster County buffets made it to the top of USA Today's best buffets list. Shady Maple Smorgasbord and Miller's Smorgasbord – the pride of Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. But let's be real, who's voting for these places? We've got 200 feet of food at Shady Maple, but is it really the best? The answer, my friends, lies in the pudding. Literally. In other food news, Perkins is rebranding. Say goodbye to Perkins Restaurant and Bakery and hello to Perkins American Food Co. They're going all out with a new look, new menu items, and a loyalty program. First up: the Decked Out Double Burger. It's a monstrosity, but we'll see if it brings in the crowds.

Hey there, Levi here, your trusty guide through the absurd, and boy, do we have a doozy for you today. On episode 147 of the What Are We Doing Podcast, we dove headfirst into the CNN Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Spoiler alert: it was like watching a reality TV show directed by a committee of sleep-deprived cats. Imagine, if you will, President Biden, who seemed like he aged five years during the debate. He started strong with all the vigor of someone who just realized they left the stove on. His sentences were like a choose-your-own-adventure novel where every path leads to a dead end. And who decided against giving the man a lozenge? It sounded like he swallowed the entire cast of The Princess and the Frog. Then we have Trump, the human revisionist history machine. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was auditioning for the role of “World's Most Delusional Politician.” He painted his presidency as an era of sunshine and rainbows, where everyone held hands and sang “Kumbaya.” Apparently, he's the only person who remembers the “moonbeams and puppy dogs” era of 2016-2020. Also, fun fact: did you know that the South won the Civil War? Neither did I. Our dynamic moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, seemed to have taken a vow of silence, letting Trump's fibs fly by unchallenged. At one point, Trump claimed, “I have the biggest heart on this stage.” Well, sure, if we're talking about a medically concerning condition. Biden, bless his heart, took his sweet time to mention that he was debating a convicted felon. You'd think that would be the opener, right? Instead, we got Biden channeling his inner grumpy grandpa, telling Trump he had “the morals of an alley cat,” which, let's be honest, is a disservice to alley cats everywhere. Trump, in his usual fashion, was all over the map with his insults. “Manchurian candidate,” “very bad Palestinian,” and my personal favorite, “I didn't have sex with a porn star.” If you had that on your debate bingo card, congratulations! By the time they started arguing about their golf handicaps, I was ready to bang my head against the nearest wall. Biden's accomplishments got lost in the shuffle, and Trump, well, he somehow seemed almost normal, which is frankly terrifying. CNN hyped this debate like it was the second coming of prime-time TV, but Jake and Dana might as well have been hosting a particularly disinterested game of Jeopardy! By the end, Trump had that Cheshire Cat grin, probably because he knew he'd just pulled off the ultimate con job. So, folks, buckle up and join us as we dissect this trainwreck of a debate with all the wit and sarcasm you've come to expect from the What Are We Doing Podcast. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

Hey, hey, hey! It's your boy Levi, and welcome back to another wild ride of "What Are We Doing." Buckle up because episode 146 is packed with all the juicy gossip, epic fails, and of course, my signature comedic commentary. Let's dive right in! Can you believe it? Justin Timberlake got himself in some hot water this week. Our boy JT was arraigned on one count of driving while intoxicated and released from police custody in New York. According to police, Timberlake was spotted around 12:37 a.m. in Sag Harbor, New York, driving a 2025 BMW like it was Mario Kart on Rainbow Road. He allegedly didn't stop at a stop sign and couldn't stay in his lane. Classic. When the officer pulled him over, JT reportedly said he “had one martini and followed his friends home.” Yeah, because that always works as an excuse. His eyes were “bloodshot and glassy,” and there was a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage” on his breath. Smooth move, Justin. But wait, there's more! While everyone else has been gawking at his mug shot, we here at the WAWD pod got an exclusive look at the sobriety test the officer gave him. Trust me, you'll want to check this out. It's pure comedy gold. Next up, let's talk about Bill Belichick, the former Patriots head coach who's now living his best life with his new girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. TMZ dropped a photo of their first encounter on a flight back in February 2021. Bill, rocking a Rutgers sweatshirt, was all smiles next to Jordon, a 24-year-old former cheerleader. You go, girl! Apparently, Bill was so taken with her philosophy project that he autographed her textbook, “Deductive Logic,” listing all the Super Bowls he won. Classic flex. Their relationship turned romantic after Bill's messy breakup with longtime girlfriend Linda Holliday, which, let's be honest, was like watching a slow-motion car crash. Belichick's post-Patriots tour included a pit stop at Gillette Stadium to celebrate Tom Brady's Hall of Fame induction. The legendary duo reunited, and it was like watching the Avengers assemble. Jordon was right there by Bill's side, probably thinking, “I can't believe I'm dating this guy.” ### WWIII and The Draft And just when you thought it couldn't get crazier, WWIII is apparently here, and the draft is back on the table. The House of Representatives just passed a measure that automatically registers men aged 18 to 26 for selective service as part of the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This year's NDAA authorizes a whopping $895.2 billion in military spending – a cool $9 billion increase from last year. Now, I know what you're thinking – the draft hasn't been invoked in over half a century, so why the sudden interest? Well, it turns out that it's still mandatory for all male U.S. citizens to register when they turn 18. Failure to do so is classified as a felony and can lead to a host of legal headaches. Supporters of the amendment argue that this measure will cut down on bureaucratic red tape, help U.S. citizens avoid unnecessary legal issues, and save taxpayer dollars otherwise spent on prosecuting those cases. Instead, the resources can be redirected towards readiness and mobilization rather than education and advertising campaigns to get people to register. And that's not all! The NDAA also includes the largest-ever military pay raise in history, with a 19.5% increase for junior enlisted troops and a 4.5% increase for others. On top of that, there's funding for two new Virginia-class submarines and the establishment of a drone force within the U.S. Army. So, while we're ramping up our military capabilities, the question remains: who's actually going to be called up? Let me tell you, I'm not going unless LuBugg is going with me. We've got Russian nuke subs off the coast of Florida and $75 billion in Russian assets from NATO. The secret services' subs are showing up like it's a Tom Clancy novel. Stay safe out there, folks, because it's about to get real. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

Ladies and gents, hold onto your hats, grab your ketchup and mustard, and get ready for the mother of all hot dog-eating contests! This week's episode of the “What are We Doing” podcast is serving up a buffet of bizarre news, juicy rivalries, and the kind of absurdity you've come to expect and love. First up, let's talk about the gastronomic gladiators themselves: Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi. These titans of the tubular meat world are set to face off in the ultimate hot dog-eating contest, “Chestnut vs. Kobayashi: Unfinished Beef,” streaming live on Netflix this Labor Day. Yep, Netflix is now your go-to source for watching grown men devour hot dogs like they're training for an apocalypse where food is solely measured in units of hot dogs per minute. For those of you who've been living under a rock (or maybe just not paying attention to the high-stakes world of competitive eating), Joey Chestnut is the guy who once inhaled 76 hot dogs in ten minutes. That's right, the man is a literal black hole for frankfurters. And now, after being booted from Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for cozying up to vegan hot dogs—yes, you heard that correctly, vegan hot dogs—he's back with a vengeance. His arch-nemesis, Kobayashi, the former hot dog overlord, is coming out of retirement because nothing says “unfinished business” like a few thousand calories of beef and bun. Just when you thought things couldn't get weirder, enter stage right: Donald J. Trump, the man who puts the “why” in “why is this happening?” Fresh from a meeting with his probation officer, Trump went on an impassioned rant about the dual threats facing our great nation: sharks and electric boat batteries. Forget the economy, climate change, or healthcare. No, the real issue plaguing America is the shocking epidemic of battery-powered boats sinking and leaving their hapless passengers to choose between electrocution or becoming shark chow. In a moment of sheer brilliance, Trump pondered the existential dilemma: “Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking and water goes over the battery, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” This is the kind of hard-hitting, deeply intellectual question that keeps America up at night. Biden? Sleepy Joe is probably too busy napping or running his alleged global crime family to even consider the lethal combination of aquatic predators and boat batteries. Why are the boats sinking? Is it a Democratic plot to destroy our freedom? Are the sharks secret agents working for the Biden Crime Family? These are the real questions, people! Forget about inflation or foreign policy—Trump is the hero who's going to save us from the electrifying jaws of battery-powered boat destruction. Vote wisely, or else face the wrath of the underwater electric apocalypse. Moving on from the ridiculous to the just plain scandalous, Chris Brown is back in the news. This time, it's not for throwing shade or fists but for throwing hands—literally—on his fans' derrières. Brown's meet-and-greets have evolved into legendary events where fans can not only meet the star but also experience his enthusiastic grasp. For a mere $1,111 (a nod to his “11:11” album), fans get a whole package deal including early concert entry, signed merch, and a personal photo op with Brown himself, complete with booty-grabbing action. Yes, you too can have a memory that will last a lifetime: a picture of Chris Brown cupping your cheeks like he's shaping pottery in “Ghost.” Fans are flocking to these sold-out events, eager to be the next viral sensation with a photo that screams, “I met Chris Brown, and all I got was this unexpected fondle.” So there you have it, folks. Episode 145 of the “What are We Doing” podcast is a rollercoaster ride through the bizarre, the hilarious, and the downright absurd. From hot dog showdowns that make the Roman Colosseum look like a playground scuffle, to presidential shark rants that belong in a sci-fi thriller, to celebrity meet-and-greets that redefine “personal touch,” we've covered it all. Stay tuned, because as long as there are hot dogs to eat, sharks to misunderstand, and celebrities to awkwardly engage with their fans, we'll be here to bring you the best of the bizarre. Until next time, keep your ketchup close and your sense of reality closer. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

Grab your popcorn, because we're talking about Donald Trump, hush money, and the delightful drama of an Amazon tribe discovering the internet. Let's dive right in! #TrumpTrial #ElonMusk #HushMoney #InternetAddiction #TribalTech #StormyDaniels #BreakingNews #TechFails #CourtroomDrama #WeeklyUpdate First up, Donald Trump. Yes, folks, he's in the news again – surprise, surprise! This time, he's been found guilty on all 34 charges in his hush money trial. That's right, 34 counts! I haven't seen numbers like that since I tried to count how many times I've lost my keys this month. But seriously, Trump's been nailed for falsifying business records to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to none other than Stormy Daniels. If you're thinking this sounds like a plot straight out of a soap opera, you're not far off. So, what does Trump have to say about this? Well, he used the verdict announcement as an impromptu campaign speech. Classic move. According to him, the trial is just another sign that America is going down the drain. He blamed the Biden administration, of course, because why not? I mean, who else are you going to blame when you're caught with your hand in the cookie jar, right? Despite his defiant stance throughout the trial, Trump looked, how shall we say, defeated? Picture a balloon animal slowly deflating – that's the vibe. And he'll be back in court for sentencing in July. He could face up to four years in prison, but let's be real, he's probably looking at probation. Either way, this is history in the making – the first U.S. president to be tried and convicted on criminal charges. Let that sink in. Now, let's switch gears to something equally bizarre but in a completely different way. Elon Musk, our favorite space cowboy, decided to bring the internet to a remote Amazon tribe, the Marubo. Sounds like a great idea, right? Well, nine months later, it turns out the internet isn't all educational YouTube videos and cute cat memes. The young men of the tribe have developed a… how do I put this delicately? A porn addiction. Yeah, you heard that right. The tribe's elders initially celebrated Starlink's arrival like it was the second coming of Wi-Fi Jesus. But now, things have taken a turn. The young men are sharing explicit videos in group chats and, according to one tribesman, Alfredo Marubo, are starting to mimic the graphic content they're seeing. Talk about monkey see, monkey do. And it's not just porn that's causing chaos. The kids are getting hooked on violent shooter games, chatting with strangers online, and basically adopting what another tribesman, Tsainama Marubo, calls "the ways of the white people." The elders are worried that the young men are becoming lazy and distracted. I guess the saying is true – with great power (of the internet) comes great responsibility… and a hefty side of chaos. Despite the unforeseen consequences, the internet has been a game-changer for the Marubo tribe in some positive ways. It's connected them with family, provided educational resources, and helped in emergencies. So, it's not all doom and gloom, but they're definitely caught between a byte and a dream as they navigate this new online jungle. *********************************************** ✅GEL BLASTERS - 10% OFF YOUR ORDER https://wawdpod.com/blaster ************************************************* ✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shipping https://wawdpod.com/blue ************************************************** ✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFF https://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD ********************************************** ✅THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION!!

First up, Target has decided to switch things up for Pride Month this year. They'll be offering a curated collection of adult apparel, home goods, food, and beverages based on consumer feedback. But here's the catch - these items will only be available on Target.com and in select stores, depending on how well they sold in previous years. It seems like Target is trying to avoid a repeat of last year's chaos, when some shoppers lost their minds over the representation of Pride, leading to the removal of items and relocation of Pride sections in many stores, particularly in the South. Despite the changes, Target maintains that they still support the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride Month and throughout the year, participating in local Pride events and spotlighting LGBTQ-owned brands. Moving on from retail to underwater exploration, Larry Connor, a real estate billionaire from Ohio, is planning a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck site in 2026. This comes a year after the tragic implosion of the OceanGate submersible, which claimed the lives of all five passengers on board. Determined to explore and conduct research at the site safely, Connor has teamed up with Patrick Lahey, co-founder of Triton Submarines, to design a custom two-person submersible called "The Explorer - Return to the Titanic." The vessel, based on Triton's existing Abyssal Explorer design, will feature an acrylic hull and offer a 320-degree view, making it the first of its kind to reach depths of 13,000 feet. Connor emphasizes that this is not just a trip to the Titanic, but a research mission aimed at demonstrating the possibility of building a revolutionary submarine that can dive safely to great depths. He contrasts the planned submersible with the ill-fated Titan, stressing the importance of proper certification and rigorous testing. With a reputation for never taking unacceptable risks, Connor asserts that if the mission cannot be conducted safely and successfully, they simply won't do it. Finally, let's talk about Charlotte, the stingray that became an overnight sensation for her rare pregnancy. Initially, it was believed that Charlotte had become pregnant through parthenogenesis, a rare form of asexual reproduction. However, as weeks passed without any news of her giving birth, some began to question the legitimacy of her pregnancy. The aquarium's lack of updates and changing information about the expected number of pups only fueled suspicions. Despite the doubts, the aquarium's founder, Brenda Ramer, defended Charlotte's pregnancy, reminding everyone that science is about discovery and that just because something hasn't been documented before doesn't make it impossible. Well, there you have it, folks! From Target's Pride Month plans to a billionaire's submarine dreams and a stingray's mysterious pregnancy, we've covered quite a bit in this episode. As always, thanks for tuning in to the "What Are We Doing" podcast.

We're diving into two of the most bizarre and unexpected events in recent news. Buckle up, because this one's a doozy! First up, let's talk about the surreal scene at Trump's campaign rally in Crotona Park, South Bronx. Yes, you heard that right. Former President Donald Trump held a rally in one of the most Democratic counties in the nation, trying to woo minority voters. But it gets better—he brought rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow on stage with him! These two drill artists, who were charged last May in a massive gang murder conspiracy case, took the mic for a brief but memorable moment. Sheff G told the crowd, "One thing I want to say, they're always going to whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. Trump's gonna shout the wins for all of us." Meanwhile, Sleepy Hallow dropped Trump's famous campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” before they both exited the stage. And in true Trump fashion, he commented on their flashy appearances, saying, "I like those teeth. I gotta get my teeth like that." Now, let's unpack this a bit. Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow, along with 30 others, were named in a 140-count indictment, accused of using their music money for guns and putting bounties on rival gang members. Sheff G even recently served 14 months for separate weapons charges. But here they were, standing with Trump, who's attempting to cast himself as the champion of minority communities. At his rally, Trump claimed to be a better president for Black and Hispanic voters than Biden, railing against Biden on immigration and its impact on minority populations. Trump's rally drew thousands, with supporters chanting “Build the wall” as he made his case. He's been confined to New York for his trial, so he's making the most of his time with a series of local stops. But this rally, open to the public, was his big move to show he's still in the game, even in a predominantly Democratic state. And now, the second half of our wild ride: Terrence Howard on Joe Rogan's podcast. Folks, if you thought the Trump rally was bizarre, wait until you hear this. Terrence Howard's appearance was a trip I didn't know I was signing up for, and by the end, I was completely lost. Howard kicked off by reminiscing about being in his mother's womb. Yes, really. And that was just the beginning of three hours of “science” talk, with Joe Rogan interjecting with COVID comments (lol). Terrence introduced his own version of the periodic table, the Walter Russel Periodic Table, which was news to me. The whole discussion felt like teetering between a schizophrenic break and pure genius—though I'm leaning towards the former. Then there was his take on straight lines, which he claims are an illusion, leading to him debunking the Pythagorean Theorem. Yes, the same one we all learned in school. It doesn't stop there. Howard also claimed to be the brain behind the entire AR/VR world, citing patents used by big tech companies. And the pièce de résistance: he's planning to kill gravity. “We're about to kill gravity,” he told Rogan. “I've got a model with 16 vortexes in a bench pin configuration, no center attractor, and no gravity whatsoever.” I probably missed 100 insane moments, but if you've made it this far, you need to watch the full podcast. You might get a lot more out of it than I did. Terrence Howard, known for his roles in “Crash,” “Empire,” and “Iron Man,” shared some of his most eyebrow-raising beliefs. From claiming he can rebuild Saturn without gravity to disbelieving in the number zero, it was a wild ride. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

Welcome back to another explosive episode of What Are We Doing, the podcast that isn't afraid to dive headfirst into the wild world of tech, entertainment, and everything in between. First up, let's talk about the mind-blowing launch of GPT-4o by OpenAI. This isn't your average AI chat bot - oh no, GPT-4o is a full-on conversational powerhouse that can analyze audio, visuals, and text in real-time. Imagine having a super intelligent digital bestie that you can talk to about anything, anytime. Well, that's basically what OpenAI has created, and it's a game-changer. The craziest part? GPT-4o can respond in a lightning-fast 320 milliseconds on average, which is about as quick as a human. Plus, it's fluent in over 50 languages. So whether you're looking to solve complex coding problems, get help with your math homework, or just want to hear a killer bedtime story about a robot, GPT-4o has got you covered. The future of human-computer interaction is here, folks, and it's equal parts exciting and terrifying. But let's shift gears to a much darker story that's been making headlines. Famed magician David Copperfield, known for his jaw-dropping illusions and charming stage presence, has been accused of sexual misconduct by a staggering 16 women. The allegations span four decades and include claims of drugging, groping, inappropriate interactions with underage girls, and even rape. It's a disturbing pattern of behavior that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. While Copperfield and his team have vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "false and scurrilous," the sheer number of accusers and the consistency of their stories paint a troubling picture. Some of the most horrifying claims involve Copperfield allegedly drugging women, rendering them unable to consent, and then sexually assaulting them. Others describe being groped by the magician during live performances, or receiving inappropriate phone calls as teenage girls. This isn't the first time Copperfield has faced such accusations. In 2007, he was accused of sexual assault and rape by model Lacey Carroll, though the case was eventually dropped after a two-year FBI investigation. And in 2018, another woman came forward alleging that Copperfield drugged and sexually assaulted her when she was just 17 years old. It's a sickening pattern that raises serious questions about the abuse of power and celebrity status. And it's a stark reminder that even the most seemingly untouchable figures can be hiding dark secrets. As more women continue to bravely share their stories, it's crucial that we listen, believe, and demand accountability. On a somewhat lighter note, let's talk about Jerry Seinfeld's recent commencement speech at Duke University. The comedy legend faced a bit of a tough crowd, with some students walking out during his address. But Seinfeld, ever the professional, powered through and even took a moment to apologize for the "sexual undertones" in his 2007 animated film Bee Movie. For those who need a refresher, Bee Movie follows the story of Barry, a bee who falls in love with a human florist named Vanessa. It's a weird premise, made even weirder by the vaguely sexual tension between the two characters. Seinfeld acknowledged that the relationship dynamic may have been inappropriate for a children's movie, but also defended the importance of "awkward humor." In classic Seinfeld fashion, he used the Bee Movie controversy as a jumping-off point to discuss the current generation's admirable commitment to social justice and inclusivity, while also cautioning against losing our collective sense of humor. It's a tricky balance, to be sure, but Seinfeld argues that being able to laugh at ourselves and find the absurdity in life is crucial for surviving tough times. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

In this episode of "What are We Doing," we dive deep into Taylor Swift's latest surprise double album, "The Tortured Poets Department" (TTPD), which has sent shockwaves through the music industry and the gossip mills alike. We dissect the juiciest tracks and analyze the hidden meanings behind Swift's cryptic lyrics, all while trying to keep a straight face (spoiler: we fail miserably). #TaylorSwift #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment #TTPD #KimKardashian #MattyHealy #JoeAlwyn #PostMalone #The1975 #CharliePuth #CelebrityFeuds #CelebrityRelationships #AlbumAnalysis #EasterEggs #ConfessionalPop #BreakupSongs #LoveSongs #WhatAreWeDoingPodcast First up, let's talk about the elephant in the room: Taylor's not-so-subtle jab at Kim Kardashian in the track "thanK you aIMee." Yes, you read that right – the capitalized letters spell out "KIM." Coincidence? We think not. In this allegorical masterpiece, Swift paints a vivid picture of her longstanding feud with the reality TV queen, comparing their rivalry to a high school bully scenario. From bronze spray-tanned statues to threats of being pushed down the stairs, Taylor doesn't hold back. But hey, at least she's turning her trauma into art, right? Moving on to the more romantic side of things, we explore the various men who have inspired TTPD. In the opening track "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone, Swift sings about a brief but intense rekindled romance with The 1975's Matty Healy. The lyrics are as fatalistic as they are passionate, proving that even a two-week fling can lead to a lifetime of songwriting material. The titular track "The Tortured Poets Department" is another ode to Matty, with references to his love for typewriters and their shared admiration for Charlie Puth (who, according to Swift, deserves to be a bigger artist). We can't help but wonder if Matty's ego is as inflated as his hair after hearing these lines. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in Taylor's love life. In "My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys," she compares a former lover to a child who destroys his most cherished possessions. We're not sure if this is a metaphor for her relationship with Joe Alwyn or a subtle nod to her ex-boyfriend, Tom Hiddleston, and his infamous "I HEART T.S." shirt. Either way, we're here for the drama. Speaking of Joe Alwyn, the track "So Long, London" is a heart-wrenching farewell to their relationship and the memories they shared in the city. Swift alludes to the reasons behind their split, singing, "I didn't opt in to be your odd man out." We can only imagine the tearful conversations that must have taken place in their London home by the Heath. But fear not, dear listeners, for Taylor is no stranger to controversial relationships. In "But Daddy I Love Him," she addresses the criticism surrounding her romance with Matty Healy, defiantly declaring, "No I'm not coming to my senses I know it's crazy but he's the one I want." We respect her honesty, even if we're secretly hoping for a reunion with Harry Styles. As we near the end of our deep dive into TTPD, we can't help but marvel at Taylor's ability to turn her personal life into chart-topping hits. From shading her enemies to reminiscing about past loves, she proves once again that she's the queen of confessional pop. So, grab your tissues, put on your detective hat, and join us as we unravel the mysteries of "The Tortured Poets Department." And remember, if you ever find yourself in a feud with a Kardashian, just write a scathing song about it – it worked for Taylor! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to "What are We Doing" for more hilarious takes on the latest celebrity drama and music releases. Until next time, keep singing along to TTPD and wondering if Joe Alwyn is somewhere out there, penning his own album of diss tracks. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

First up, let's talk about the Art Institutes. This for-profit college chain had been happily chugging along, allegedly misleading students and raking in those sweet, sweet tuition dollars. But, as it turns out, the Art Institutes were about as legit as a three-dollar bill. The Education Department discovered that the school had been pulling some serious shenanigans, like claiming 80% of their graduates were employed in their field within six months. In reality, that number never even hit 60%. Talk about a creative interpretation of the truth! But wait, there's more! The Art Institutes also had a knack for inflating their graduates' earnings. In a move that can only be described as "bold," one campus even included tennis superstar Serena Williams' annual income in their calculations. Because, you know, every Art Institute grad is just one Grand Slam away from making it big. Well, the jig is finally up, and the Biden administration is swooping in to save the day. They're forgiving a whopping $6.1 billion in student debt for 317,000 unfortunate souls who attended the Art Institutes between 2004 and 2017. The best part? It's automatic, baby! No need to fill out any pesky paperwork or jump through hoops. The government will just wave its magic wand and *poof* - your debt disappears faster than a plate of donuts at a police station. Now, let's move on to the other big news: the potential reclassification of marijuana. That's right, the DEA might finally be ready to admit that maybe, just maybe, marijuana isn't quite as dangerous as they've been making it out to be for the past 50 years. The plan is to move marijuana from a Schedule I drug (you know, the ones with "no accepted medical use" like heroin and LSD) to a Schedule III drug (the ones with "low to moderate potential for abuse" like ketamine and codeine-laced Tylenol). This change would be a pretty big deal. For starters, it would mark the first time the U.S. government has acknowledged that marijuana might actually have some medical benefits. Shocking, we know. It's not like people have been saying this for decades or anything. But hey, better late than never, right? If the reclassification goes through, it could open up a whole new world of possibilities. Researchers could finally study marijuana's potential medical uses without having to jump through a million bureaucratic hoops. Pharmaceutical companies could get in on the action and start selling marijuana products in states where it's legal. And, perhaps most importantly, marijuana businesses would no longer be subject to that pesky federal tax law that treats them like common drug dealers. Of course, not everyone is thrilled about the idea of having to register with the DEA. Some cannabis dispensary owners are understandably wary of inviting the feds into their world. But hey, that's the price you pay for legitimacy, we suppose. Now, before we all get too excited, let's remember that this is the government we're talking about. The proposal still needs to go through more red tape than a mummy at a bureaucracy convention. It has to get the White House's approval, go through a public comment period, and survive potential legal challenges and future political shenanigans. So, don't go throwing out your dealer's number just yet. In the meantime, we'll be over here, munching on our government-subsidized Art Institute degree and waiting for the day when we can buy our medical marijuana from the same place we get our flu shots. What a time to be alive! Well, that's all we've got for you today, folks. Tune in next week, when we'll be discussing the latest developments in the thrilling world of tax law. Just kidding, we wouldn't do that to you. Or would we? You'll have to tune in to find out!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support

So, here's the tea: Congress has passed a bill that essentially says, "Hey ByteDance, either sell TikTok or get ready for a nationwide ban." Why, you ask? Well, apparently, some folks in Washington are worried that the Chinese government might use TikTok to collect sensitive data on Americans or spread propaganda. I mean, sure, valid concerns, but have they seen the state of American social media lately? Now, ByteDance has a tough choice to make: sell their golden goose or risk losing access to the U.S. market entirely. But here's where it gets juicy - TikTok is planning to fight back in court, arguing that a forced sale could violate users' free speech rights. I can just imagine the legal battle now: "Your honor, how will Americans express themselves without the ability to lip-sync to 'Savage' while doing the Renegade dance?" Even if ByteDance decides to sell, finding a buyer won't be a cakewalk. We're talking about a price tag that could make Jeff Bezos's eyes water. Plus, any potential buyer would have to pass the government's sniff test. It's like trying to find a date on Tinder, but instead of swiping right, you've got to get Uncle Sam's approval. But wait, there's more! China might just swoop in and block the whole thing. They've already hinted that they're not too keen on the idea of selling TikTok. It's like watching a high-stakes game of chess, but instead of pawns and rooks, we've got algorithms and national security concerns. And let's not forget about the poor TikTok employees caught in the middle of this mess. They're scattered across the globe, using ByteDance software to communicate, and now they might have to learn how to use Slack or something. The horror! Meanwhile, over in the land of upstate New York, we've got a district attorney who apparently thinks traffic laws are just suggestions. Sandra Doorley was caught on bodycam footage calling a police officer "an a--hole" for having the audacity to pull her over for speeding. Classy move, Sandra. But here's where it gets even better: the Rochester City Council is now asking Attorney General Letitia James to investigate Doorley's behavior. They're questioning her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and honestly, I can't blame them. I mean, if you can't handle getting a speeding ticket without throwing a tantrum, how are you supposed to handle, you know, actual crime? The council members are arguing that public officials should be held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability and that Doorley's behavior undermines the credibility of the justice system. In other words, they're saying, "Hey Sandra, maybe don't be a jerk to the cops when you're supposed to be upholding the law." So, there you have it, folks. A tale of two stories - one involving billions of dollars, national security, and the fate of a beloved social media app, and the other involving a district attorney who apparently missed the memo on basic decency. It's like watching a soap opera, but instead of love triangles and evil twins, we've got geopolitical tensions and traffic violations.

JoJo Siwa's Gay Pop Debacle: In this segment, we dive into the latest buzz in the music world as JoJo Siwa walks back her bold claim of "inventing" gay pop after receiving some well-deserved side-eye from queer pop pioneers. We discuss her aspirations to be the "CMO of Gay Pop" and the long history of LGBTQ representation in pop music that came before her, from icons like David Bowie and Elton John to modern trailblazers like Lil Nas X and Troye Sivan. Siwa's comments sparked a conversation about the importance of acknowledging the contributions of those who paved the way and the ongoing fight for visibility and acceptance in the music industry. We also touch on the reaction from other artists, including Tegan and Sara's silent "Really, ma'am?" and the imagined "board meeting" with Charli XCX, Lady Gaga, and the ultimate President of Gay Pop, Cher. The Life and Legacy of O.J. Simpson: Next, we reflect on the complicated life and legacy of O.J. Simpson following his passing at age 76. From his meteoric rise as a football star and actor to his stunning fall from grace after the murder trial that captivated the nation, we examine how the case exposed deep divisions in America and forever changed how Simpson was viewed in the public eye. We delve into the details of the trial, the infamous slow-speed chase, and the controversies that surrounded the case. Simpson's later robbery conviction and prison sentence added yet another chapter to his tumultuous story, and we discuss the public's fascination with his life and the lasting impact of his legacy. We also touch on the reactions from the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, and the ongoing debate over celebrity justice and race in America. Drake's Rap Beefs and Subliminal Disses: The rap world is heating up as Drake faces an onslaught of subliminal disses from former friends and collaborators on Future and Metro Boomin's new album. We break down the potential jabs from The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky, unpacking the long history and behind-the-scenes drama between them and Drake. Could this be revenge for past slights, like Drake allegedly trying to sign The Weeknd to OVO or rumors of Drake's involvement with Rocky's current partner Rihanna? We speculate on the meaning behind the cryptic lyrics and the possibility of new feuds bubbling up in the rap scene. We also discuss Drake's own recent releases and the ongoing debate over his dominance in the genre, as well as the trend of using music to air out personal grievances and settle scores in the public eye. Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Latest Chapter: Finally, we catch up on the latest with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who has filed for divorce and a restraining order against her husband Ryan Anderson just months after leaving prison. We discuss her journey since the murder of her mother Dee Dee, her time behind bars, and her attempts to move forward and rediscover herself. We delve into the details of her marriage to Anderson, whom she met while in prison, and the recent breakdown of their relationship. As Gypsy Rose navigates her new life on the outside, we examine the challenges she faces in building a future for herself and the ongoing fascination with her story. We also touch on the wider issues of abuse, mental health, and the criminal justice system that her case brought to light, and the lessons that can be learned from her experience. ************************************************************* ✅GEL BLASTERS - 10% OFF YOUR ORDER https://wawdpod.com/blaster ************************************************************* ✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shipping https://wawdpod.com/blue ************************************************************* ✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFF https://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD ************************************************************* ✅THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION!!

Well, well, well, folks! It looks like JoJo Siwa is all grown up and ready to shed her colorful, bow-wearing persona for a more mature, edgy look.

In this wild ride of an episode, we cover everything from neighborhood drama to celebrity scandals and even some questionable dance competitions. Buckle up, because episode 134 is a doozy! First up, I dive into my ongoing battles with my neighbors. From the two-faced twig down the street talking smack about my son to the HOA's pointless mulch mountain blocking the road, I'm reaching my breaking point. I've got some hilarious revenge schemes in the works though, like blasting annoying guitar riffs at 3am. The HOA better watch out, because I'm not afraid to go to war! Next, some shocking celebrity relationship news - Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her husband are splitting up just months after she was released from prison. I speculate this is just Gypsy's pattern of using people until she doesn't need them anymore. Will she find herself in the LGBTQ+ community next? Only time will tell. Speaking of unlikely religious figures, Donald Trump is now hawking a $60 "God Bless the USA" Bible just in time for Easter. This man will slap his name on anything to make a buck, from Bibles to NFTs. I dare churches to start using this MAGA Bible for their services - can you imagine? But the real bombshell this episode is the federal investigation into Sean "Diddy" Combs. With his homes raided, Diddy could be facing some serious charges related to sexual assault and even sex trafficking. This case has Epstein-level potential, and I predict we'll be seeing celebrities' names dragged into it for years to come. Diddy's "no homo" days are over - it's "no Diddy" now. I also weigh in on Dana White's recent awkward podcast appearances. Hosts need to get it together and stop sabotaging their interviews with this MMA kingpin. Maybe what we really need is Dana, Trump, Joe Rogan and the Nelk Boys all on a podcast together, competing to plug their latest money-making schemes. Finally, I react to the wild world of competitive dance on TikTok. When did moms start choreographing routines to Nelly songs? The hip-hop dance finalist videos I stumbled upon have me dying. Well, that's a wrap on this crazy episode! Be sure to like and subscribe so you never miss the insanity. I'll be back next week with more unhinged takes on everything from my battle with the HOA to celebrity antics. Stay tuned and stay wacky - because seriously, what are we even doing?

In this explosive episode, we dive deep into the disturbing revelations from the four-part docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," which aired on Investigation Discovery.
