The power of AI has made Soulja Boy 100x more efficient. In the span of a week he started a clothing brand, dropped a song, joined a new streaming platform, and started a new crypto scam. Plus, Billy McFarland actually put on a music fest. Fortune Kit on Patreon: www.patreon.com/fortunekit Ending song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txr__rDjZ-Q
ALL NEW CHRISTMAS SONG OUT NOW!!!SPOTIFY:https://wawdpod.com/lights-spotifyAPPLE MUSIC:https://wawdpod.com/lights-appleYOUTUBE MUSIC: https://wawdpod.com/lights-yt--Episode 216 is here. I am back. Holiday chaos is fading and the volume is up. Thirteen days until Christmas and somehow Alex Jones from 2017 sounds like he saw the group chat early. AI, hive minds, Epstein, tech elites. I play the clip. I react. I ask the only question that matters. What are we doing?Then I pivot. Hard. This turns into a full 2026 lock in speech. No fluff. No excuses. Post every day. Sell the junk. Cut the noise. Block the distractions. Break the habits that failed you. If this year was a mess, flip it. If this year was fine, push harder. Blinders on. Build something. Feed your family. Keep moving.After that, the news spiral hits. Netflix drops an $83 billion move on Warner Brothers. Paramount fires back with $108 billion. Breakup fees. HBO futures. Game of Thrones season nine bait. Streaming price hikes. Movie theaters on life support. Golden Globes add podcasts and somehow I get nominated before Joe Rogan. Jelly Roll cries on Rogan. Billy McFarland runs Phoenix Festival on an island with no power. Candace Owens and Erica Kirk go to war. Trump launches a gold card for rich people. Cruises keep proving my point. Then I end the show with my new Christmas song.Topics I hit. • Alex Jones predicting AI years early. • Why 2026 needs discipline and output. • Netflix vs Warner Brothers vs Paramount. • Streaming killing theaters. • Golden Globes podcast drama. • Joe Rogan and Jelly Roll moment. • Billy McFarland and Phoenix Festival chaos. • Candace Owens vs Turning Point fallout. • Trump gold and platinum cards. • Why cruises are a hard no. • My new holiday single.My 2025 Christmas song “Under the Christmas Lights” is out now on every platform. Stream it. Share it. Play it loud. Merry Christmas. What are we doing?
The labor market has swung from the Great Resignation to “job hugging,” where workers cling to their roles out of fear of AI-driven layoffs and inflation, crushing engagement and accelerating burnout. At the same time, OpenAI is accused of suppressing research showing job losses, ignoring internal warnings about chatbot mental health risks, and bleeding safety staff, while state Attorneys General fire off an opening salvo likening unchecked AI harms to an opioid crisis-in-the-making.The AI boom is now colliding with reality. Environmental groups want a halt on new datacenters as power prices spike, and the industry is starting to look financially radioactive, with opaque financing schemes, hidden debt, and trillion-dollar infrastructure bets that could vaporize household wealth. Regulators are pushing back too: the EU is fining X, probing Google over training data, and floating a statutory licensing scheme for AI scraping, while Disney dives in with a billion-dollar bet on “responsible” AI storytelling that mostly translates to fewer humans on payroll.Meanwhile, everyday tech dystopia rolls on. Uber is monetizing your movement data, Instacart is quietly price-discriminating groceries, Waymo is spinning a robotaxi birth as a feel-good story, and crypto fraud finally earns real prison time. Add in AI-generated marketing slop, government sites hijacked by SEO porn, billion-dollar festival scams resurrected, and Congress kneecapping right-to-repair, and the takeaway is simple: the machines are hungry, the adults are absent, and the vibes are aggressively bad.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Happy Thursday you Pop Culture junkies. This week, Brooke is not holding back. She dives headfirst into the Quentin Tarantino discourse that's been dominating every corner of the Internet, from film Twitter to gossip feeds to group chats everywhere. And for the first time on the pod, Brooke opens up with deeply personal anecdotes about her own experience with Tarantino—stories she's never shared publicly. It's raw, revealing, and yes… a bit of a mic drop. From there, we pivot to another chaos magnet: Billy McFarland, who has somehow managed to out-Fyre himself. Brooke breaks down the unfolding meltdown of Fyre Festival 2 in Honduras, a fiasco that proves history does repeat itself—especially when the same guy is in charge. We also get into the latest around Netflix's explosive Diddy docuseries, with new public reactions. There was no newsletter this week!
50 Cent scoort momenteel zijn grootste hit sinds In Da Club: een vierdelige Netflix-documentaire over P. Diddy, een trap na voor de hiphopmogul die afgelopen mei vier jaar cel aan z'n broek kreeg. Voordat je je afvraagt: wat heeft 50 Cent te maken met Netflix? Nou, hij is een filmproducer, en als onversneden Diddy-hater zet-ie nu zijn macht en invloed in om diens laatste schrijntje streetcred volledig te verpulveren. En kochten we écht een pay per view ticket voor Billy McFarland's PHNX Festival, oftewel Fyre Festival 3.0? Jazeker, al was het maar omdat we daardoor even konden bellen met de man zelf.

Time: ~33 min. It's Episode 80! This week I'm diving into the biggest news shaking up the music world, and I'm sharing some great independent music with you. First, the good news: the UK government has cracked down on ticket scalping, making it illegal to profit from reselling tickets. But there's drama, too: the rise of AI music clones hit Spotify hard when a fake account copied King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's music, and I discuss what this means for independent artists. On a more positive AI note, I cover how rapper Beanie Sigel is using AI technology to bring back his classic voice. Plus, I talk about Billy McFarland's latest, the PHNX Festival, which actually happened, and I share my top Instagram marketing tips for musicians!

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
In this episode of The Compendium, we dive into the chaotic story of Fyre Festival, the so-called “greatest party that never happened.” What began as Billy McFarland's glossy vision of a luxury music festival in the Bahamas quickly unraveled into a full-scale disaster involving Ja Rule, celebrity influencers, and one infamous cheese sandwich. We explore how this viral catastrophe became a modern parable of greed, Ponzi schemes, and social media delusion, and what happened to Billy McFarland after the fallout.

Are AI tools in the classroom just time-savers, or can they have genuine educational value?In a must-watch TWiST 500 interview, Alex chats with Magic School founder (and former principal) Adeel Khan about how AI tools can make teachers more effective, and keep students inspired, without just doing all the work for them.

Remember LimeWire? It's back, in NFT-form! More importantly, it's now the proud owner of the Fyre brand, which convicted fraudster Billy McFarland recently put on the auction block for chump change. Jack, Zach, and Becky discuss this oddball pairing, while reminiscing about the days of the "old internet." Also discussed in this episode of Hardly Focused: In-n-Out Burger features the "home run" for those who jump the drive-thru line. McDonaldland, the Burger King Kids Club, and the mascots of yesterday. What are the top distractions in the office? Imagine going through TSA screening miles away from the actual airport.

In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sat down with Billy McFarland, yes, that Billy, the mastermind behind the Fyre Festival. But this isn't a story of excuses or spin. It's an unfiltered, emotional conversation about ambition, delusion, and the high cost of chasing validation at any cost.Billy opens up about the exact moment he lied to an investor, the deep regret that still keeps him awake at night, and what it felt like to lose everything, freedom, reputation, and trust. We talk about solitary confinement, broken relationships, redemption, and the hard lessons learned inside federal prison.But we also talk about what's next. Billy's stepping into a new chapter, owning his past, paying restitution, and building a product focused on what he does best: getting attention.This episode isn't about defending a scandal. It's about humanising the person behind it, and what happens when the world watches you fall. If you've ever made a mistake, felt the weight of your choices, or wondered what true redemption looks like, this one's for you.Listen now.Key Moments:0:00 The Call That Changed Everything2:49 The Moral Weight of Betrayal5:48 The Lies That Made It Worse10:21 The Arrest Timeline16:54 His Take on the Netflix Doc20:57 Clearing Up the Bahamas Rumour24:01 Prison Surprises30:00 The Darkest Days Behind Bars34:02 Who Stayed, Who Left37:36 COVID in Prison: Ice Cubes & Strip Searches40:15 Redemption, Responsibility & Rebuilding TrustGuest Info:IG: @pyrtbilly (https://www.instagram.com/pyrtbilly/?hl=en)X: @pyrtbilly (https://x.com/pyrtbilly?lang=en)

Tyler opens up about his latest personal dilemma, and Myles considers finally getting a tattoo.

Richard McDonald was a Mormon kid from Southern California with a bright future—until a car accident left him hooked on painkillers. What started as a prescription spiraled into a 16-year addiction, a hidden gambling problem, and a $472,000 embezzlement scheme to fund it all. Indicted by the FBI for wire fraud and sentenced to 24 months in federal prison, Richard shares the shocking truth behind his downfall and how he's rebuilding his life. #AddictionRecovery #PrisonStory #TrueCrimePodcast #WireFraud #FBIInvestigation #RedemptionJourney #PainkillerAddiction #Embezzlement Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 The Downfall of Richard McDonald 00:06:49 Choosing a Mission Over College 00:13:30 Navigating Life's Challenges with Parental Support 00:21:04 Navigating the 2008 Recession as a Car Salesman 00:27:29 Discovering Online Sources 00:34:49 The Life-Changing Fold at the World Series of Poker 00:40:03 Overcoming Addiction 00:47:29 Navigating Federal Wire Fraud Charges 00:53:53 Navigating the Sentencing Process for White Collar Crimes 01:01:50 Betrayal and Manipulation by James Catlage 01:07:18 Meeting Greg Lindberg: A Life-Changing Connection 01:14:19 The Unheard Injustice in American Business 01:21:02 Tragedy in the Prison Cafeteria 01:26:50 Billy McFarland's Financial Struggles 01:33:04 Greg's Business Takeover and Mismanagement 01:40:01 Innovative Clean Energy from Magma Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Myles recaps his wild party weekend with 18 other guys. Beer Pong, Flip Cup, and Pool OH MY. We dive into the unspoken rules of group chats. Then we react to the news that Billy McFarland is trying to sell the Fyre Festival brand on eBay. Jerrod shares a series of unfortunate accidents from his weekend, Tyler starts turning into Ryan, and Ryan gets an unexpected lecture from Myles (even though Myles didn't want to bring it up).

WATP Karl takes down Girls Rewatch, Epstein List backlash, Fyre sale, Sydney Sweeney in lingerie, Jessica Alba's new dong, the Gen Z stare, Emmy nominations, and Drew Crime: an American Idol murder & MLB pitcher turned murderer. Drew has the hiccups again. Scott Burnstein has the answer to who killed Jimmy Hoffa. The Big Dumper, Cal Raleigh, won the MLB 2025 Home Run Derby. He totally predicted it when he was 8-years-old. Diddy is doing the work in prison. He's in therapy to avoid a long sentence. Beyoncé is flying again. Some of her crap was stolen from her dancer's car. Dentist James Craig is a terrible husband and probably a bad dentist. “Blackface” ruined Holden Hughes. It was actually Greenface, so he sued. Britney Spears rants like a mad woman. We watch Britney off her meds. Jessica Alba has a new man. She's extremely rich, btw. Sydney Sweeney's boobs are launching a lingerie line. Jeff Bezos is funding it. Blake Lively is targeting YouTubers. Richard Dreyfuss is dying ASAP… or he didn't want to go to the Jaws convention. Wolfgang Van Halen is probably the dude that angered Sharon Osbourne. It's not Motley Crue according to Motley Crue. Karl from WATP drops by to rip StutJo a little more, destroy Lena Dunham on the Girls Rewatch Podcast, make fun of Gregg ‘Opie' Hughes and more. Only 40 tickets remain for the LIVE WATP show with us and Dave Landau. Andy Green is still touring NYC. Trudi calls out the ‘Gen Z Stare'. Rob Wolchek drops another stellar Hall of Shame. The Emmy nominations dropped. Jared Goff's wife popped out their first kid. Drew Crime: Former MLB pitcher Dan Serafini found guilty of murdering his in-laws. An American Idol professional was murdered. Republicans are blocking Jeffrey Epstein information from being released. Kevin Spacey wants the files out now. The Lufthansa CEO's wife hit and killed a woman. A 114-year-old has died… of a hit and run! Billy McFarland is the worst. He sold the Fyre brand for a measly $245K. Drew is obsessed with some turd film named Parthenope. Drew does not recommend it. If you'd like to help support the show… consider subscribing to our YouTube Channel, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter (Drew Lane, Marc Fellhauer, Trudi Daniels, Jim Bentley and BranDon).
We're closing out the season with a bang. The Epstein Files have MAGA melting down, Nicki Minaj wants $200M from Jay-Z, and Rosie O'Donnell claps back after Trump threatens her citizenship (yes, really). Plus, we introduce our wild new game: 'Top of the Talk'—ranking the craziest headlines of 2025 (so far). Buckle up.
Apparently, you can't keep a good grifter down, as Billy McFarland's seven-figure Fyre Fest deal collapsed, so he's hawking the brand on eBay like a box of junk. Meanwhile, Indeed and Glassdoor are laying off over 1,000 workers, probably to pay for the AI that's jacking up our electric bills. Speaking of AI, a Tesla robotaxi crashed itself while Elon Musk's Grok chatbot went full Nazi, which is of course being installed in Teslas "next week." Fittingly, X CEO Linda Yaccarino stepped down and promptly lost her blue check. To cap off the dystopian news, the DOJ is targeting an anti-ICE app developer, the 'click-to-cancel' rule is dead, and you can hack McDonald's with the password ‘123456'. The future is now, and it's dumber than we ever imagined.On the media front, Murderbot gets a second season, and the Jim Henson and The Beach Boys documentaries are must-sees. Sadly, Netflix canceled The Residence. We also got trailers for Neuromancer, Project Hail Mary, and Edgar Wright's The Running Man. Speaking of building the future, we took a deep dive into AI-assisted coding using tools like Cursor, building a functional app in hours with zero original code. It's a stark reminder that while the "free lunch" of AI development is ending, the future for junior coders is already cooked. This glorious new world also includes playing every retro game ever on your phone, thanks to emulators like Delta and PPSSPP and the Backbone controller, which led to a nostalgic dive into the classic soundtracks of Mega Man 2 and Wipeout XL. This all culminated in a personal victory: conquering all 4,678 boards in Mahjong Titan+, freeing us from our porcelain thrones.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

I debunked the latest Epstein conspiracies (“10,000 hours of footage, just him”), wondered why Post Malone hasn't shown up to open his own bar in Tennessee, and put in a secret bid to buy Billy McFarland's Fire Festival brand. Spoiler: I'm planning Fire Sparks Fest—a mix of DJ sets, magic with Chris Angel, live podcast panels, and zero cheese sandwiches.Plus, I gave a brutally honest take on Justin Bieber's new 21-track album (does Sexy Red even belong on it?), and I predicted which big comedy podcasts will survive the next year now that everyone's weekend-long schedules are imploding.Hit subscribe and turn on notifications—if we get one new subscriber a week, we keep rolling.

Bryan recounts a harrowing—and hilarious—trip to a Florida gator farm, where the alligator Lucy may or may not be plotting a full-blown escape. Meanwhile, Jake Paul buys 5,600 acres in the swampy backwoods of Georgia (what could go wrong?), and Billy McFarland continues his delusional Fire Fest 2 journey, which now involves theater productions, ad-supported TV, and possibly marshmallow-fed reptiles.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Fyre Festival rises from the ashes yet again—but not as a festival, because even Billy McFarland finally figured out he's better at selling pipe dreams than tents. Meanwhile, Amazon and Microsoft are tapping the brakes on their AI data center dreams, Google's AI keeps confidently explaining made-up nonsense like it's gospel, and Kevin Roose once again tries to convince us to have empathy for the glorified autocomplete machines. (Spoiler: We won't.) Also, OpenAI wants to buy Chrome even though they can barely afford their own lunch tabs, Perplexity says the quiet part loud about stalking your browser habits, and Meta lays off more VR developers while pretending they care about human rights.In the “it's all stupid, but at least it's entertaining” department: Uber gets sued for making it harder to cancel than joining Scientology, Adam Neumann dupes investors again, sperm racing is now a real thing (and yes, there's crypto involved), and Bluesky caves to the almighty blue checkmark. Plus, Affinity Suite reminds us you don't have to sell a kidney to escape Adobe, The Wheel of Time gets an open-world game that'll probably drop after the heat death of the universe, and Wednesday Season 2 is on the way, because Netflix refuses to let its only hits rest.Stick around for The Dark Side with Dave where we grumble about Andor Season 2, lament bad writing decisions, geek out over old-school arcade games, and learn that memory colors are apparently a thing. Oh, and if you're feeling fancy, go ahead and thank ChatGPT for wasting millions in server bills—because if Sam Altman's crying about manners costing money, we're grabbing the popcorn.Sponsors:Insta360 - The first 30 people who use code “gog” at store.insta360.com get a free 45” invisible selfie stick worth $25!DeleteMe - Head over to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use the code "GOG" for 20% off.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
