Editors - Geoff Richman ACE, Joe Landauer, Keith Fraase ACE The Severance editing team of Geoff Richman, Joe Landauer and Keith Fraase discuss their experiences and creative processes for the hit show's second season. They talk about their initial impressions of the project, preparation to join the show, and specific challenges in editing various episodes. Highlights include creating complex montages, handling visual effects, maintaining geographic and narrative coherence, and managing ambitious scenes like Mark's dual-dialogue via a DV camera. They also discuss the excitement of uncovering scripts and scenes as the series progresses. Created by Dan Erickson and exec produced (and often directed) by Ben Stiller, SEVERANCE follows employees at the biotechnology corporation Lumon Industries who have undergone "severance"—a medical procedure that ensures they retain no memories of the outside world while at work and have no recollection of their job once they leave. This results in two distinct personalities for each employee: the "innie", who exists solely within Lumon, and the "outie", who lives their personal life outside of work. GEOFF RICHMAN, ACE Geoffrey Richman, ACE, is a picture editor known for his work on both scripted and unscripted film and TV. Earlier credits include work on documentaries such as Murderball and Sicko, as well as documentary series such as Anthony Bourdain's A Cook's Tour. Geoffrey is also known for his work on the documentary The Cove, in addition to his editing work for Mike Birbiglia's comedy specials Thank God For Jokes and The New One. Additional credits include work on scripted mini series such as Escape at Dannemora. Most recently Geoffrey has worked on 2020's Tiger King, Til Kingdom Come, as well as Palmer for Apple TV+. JOE LANDAUER Joe Landauer is an editor known for Signs (2002), Time Cut (2024) and Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between (2022) KEITH FRAASE, ACE Originally intending to be an actor, Keith Fraase fell in love with behind-the-camera work while at the University of Texas at Austin. Then he thought he wanted to be a cinematographer, but eventually fell into an apprentice editor job with Sandra Adair, ACE, to replace a friend who was leaving that position on Elvis and Annabelle (2007). Since then, he has worked on projects such as This the Night, Naomi Osaka, and Past Lives, for which he was nominated for an ACE Eddie Award.

It's been five years since the pandemic forced us to wipe down our groceries, binge Tiger King, and pick up hobbies like basket weaving or, in my case, eating 100 pizzas in 365 days. Of course, COVID also notably sent shockwaves through the restaurant industry, and to this day, the labor market still hasn't recovered. What's behind the lag and what are industry pros doing about it? Father Sal is with us to discuss two excellent articles by Adam Reiner on this exact topic. Also on the episode today, seven LA restaurants were added to the California Michelin Guide, which ones are we most excited to try? Listen to find out. Plus, a meal at the number 17 restaurant in the world, an LA food romantic drama unfolds on Instagram, a celebrity chef (Joshua Weissman) deems LA the best street food city in the world, and a couple of Chinese teenagers get a little frisky with a steaming bowl of hot pot.

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.

Michael Robson - Joe Exotic; The man, the legend and the race for the PresidencySpokesman Michael Robson speaks to Ed Opperman about Joe Exotic, his career and his bid, from prison, for the Presidency of the United States in 2024From WikipediaJoseph Allen Maldonado known professionally as Joe Exotic and nicknamed "The Tiger King", is an American media personality, businessman, and convicted felon who operated the Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park (also known as the G.W. Zoo) in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, from 1999 to 2018.Exotic left the G.W. Zoo in June 2018 and was arrested three months later on suspicion of hiring two men to murder Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin, with whom he had a complicated rivalry. In 2019, Exotic was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison on 17 federal charges of animal abuse and two counts of attempted murder for hire for the plot to kill Baskin. In 2021, he worked with attorney John Michael Phillips to file a motion for a new trial, and on July 15, 2021, a U.S. appeals court ruled that the convictions for the two murder attempts were wrongly treated as separate. The trial court reduced his sentence by 1 year, resentencing him to 21 years in late January 2022. In 2023, Exotic announced his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election as a DemocratBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
The Tiger King isn't going down without a fight. Joe Exotic's motion for a new trial was brutally denied in 2023 with another denial to shorten his sentence in 2024, despite what Joe Exotic's team calls bombshell evidence- key witness recordings proving they lied under oath and were allegedly protected by secret government deals. The judge dismissed his appeal, calling his arguments "skeletal" and "not credible"—even refusing to hold a hearing. But Joe's legal team isn't backing down. Catch up on Joe's case with me, featuring a short chat with Joe from prison where we discuss the evidence, Trump, and of course, Carole Baskin.EPISODE NOTES:https://www.joeexoticofficial.comX: joe_exoticIG: @joe_exoticSpeculation and Opinion is used throughout this podcast, listeners are encouraged to do their own research.

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.

Down to Watch is all about a royal rumble this week with Kings of Tupelo! Dan and Raul watched all three episodes of the new Netflix documentary series from the creators of the series Wild Wild Country and from the studio that made Tiger King if the trailers are to be believed. It's easy to see how the shows relate, as the Kings are mostly self-centered monarchs of tiny empires who all end up tied in some way to the star of the show, Kevin Curtis. KC is a wingnut conspiracy theorist who drives everyone around him insane and quickly dismantles his own life before finding himself behind bars for trying to assassinate the US president. This series promised a Mississippi feud that included guns, poison, severed limbs, a lot of network news coverage, and a little dog named Moo Cow. Does it deliver? Better listen to the pod!
In this video, I discuss my thoughts on the creator of Tiger King (Eric Goode) making a docuseries focused on the reptile trade and smuggling. The links to everything I cite in the video are below.

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. Smash that like button, leave a comment, and join us for the madness. #WAWD169 00:00 - Introduction & Jeff's Backdrop Controversy 11:13 - Joe Exotic's Pardon Plea 27:30 - Pennsylvania Skill Machines Debate 37:31 - United Healthcare CEO Murder Case 55:38 - Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Recap & Miley Cyrus Manifestation 1:07:02 - Trump's New Fragrance Line 1:16:27 - New Jersey Drone (or Alien?)

Send us a textWhat if your cowboy hat wasn't just a fashion flex but a gateway to your final form? This week, The Funky Panther goes full identity crisis, morphing from smooth-talking Charlie Crockett to full-throttle Tiger King insanity. It's less "saddle up" and more "unhinge completely." We also crack open the cursed tomb of The Guy Game (yes, that sleazy relic) and roast the depravity of the “Girls Gone Wild” era. Spoiler: Some ‘90s nostalgia should stay buried.Then it's off to Texas, where THC gummies are legal (kinda), booze ads are everywhere, and Kratom's about to get whacked by Big Brother. We're pulling back the curtain on the lawmakers and holy-rollers trying to legislate your vices like they've never sinned before. Spoiler alert: They have. If you're wondering why weed is still a felony but you can buy tequila at Target, congrats, you've cracked the American paradox.But wait—it gets darker. Somewhere out there, an insurance CEO is very dead under some very suspicious circumstances, and we're side-eyeing capitalism harder than ever. Corporate America has a body count, and we're connecting the dots. Greed, power, and “unexplained deaths” tend to walk hand-in-hand, don't they? Throw in some dental nightmare fuel and a debate on whether to scalp your Texas A&M tickets, and you've got a perfect storm of chaos, crime, and capitalism's rotting core.CALL OR TEXT OUR HOTLINE AND LEAVE US A MESSAGE! 817-677-0408Fort Worth MagazineBest of 2022 - Radio Personality/Podcast (Reader's Pick) Show LinksThe Funky PantherMerchYouTube
In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela dissect President Biden's controversial pardon of his son Hunter Biden. They explore Hunter's legal troubles, including felony charges for firearm purchases and tax evasion, and the implications of the pardon, covering his time at Burisma. The hosts humorously critique Biden's claims of non-interference with the Justice Department, raising questions about political fallout and public skepticism. The discussion humorously shifts to high-profile pardons, speculating on whether the Tiger King deserves clemency, and examining the absurdities of crime dramas, hit men, and surveillance. They revisit infamous cases like JonBenét Ramsey and the Menendez brothers, sharing theories and reflecting on the enduring fascination with sensationalized crimes. In lighter segments, the hosts share bizarre real-life stories, including delivery job mishaps and unexpected encounters, while hilariously recounting experiences in Detroit's strip club scene. They contrast international norms, noting the stark differences between Canadian brothels and Detroit's chaotic establishments, adding their signature comedic twist. The episode also examines Belgium's groundbreaking law granting sex workers maternity leave and pensions, sparking debate on societal norms and workers' rights. Closing on a bizarre note, they tackle the story of an Ohio woman sentenced for killing and eating a cat, blending grim reality with humor.

In this podcast episode, Eric Goode, founder of the Turtle Conservancy and an acclaimed conservationist, opens up about his latest project, Chimp Crazy. Following the success of Tiger King, which helped pass the Big Cat Safety Act, Goode aims to do the same for chimpanzees. The show shines a spotlight on Tonia Haddix, a colorful character whose chaotic attempts to shelter Tonka, a former movie-star chimp, from PETA and the actor Alan Cumming, create the heart of the four-part series. Beyond the entertainment, Goode dives into the broader mission of wildlife conservation, emphasizing the urgent need for legislation that safeguards these intelligent, endangered creatures. Shifting focus to Ojai's rich natural landscape, Goode discusses the wild terrains of the Sespe Wilderness, where mountain lions prowl, bighorn sheep roam, and a grizzly bear reintroduction program stirs hope for restoring native predators. His passion for conservation extends beyond documentaries, as he advocates for the protection of habitats and the creatures within them. Chimp Crazy is just the beginning, and Goode's relentless drive for change continues to pave the way for critical reforms in animal welfare. He also talks about his latest project, a deep dive ten years in the making about the exotic reptile trade and the dangerous demimonde in which traffickers live. We did not talk about the lost technology of affixing rudders to wooden sailing ships, North Korean nuclear aims, or taimen fishing in Mongolia.

MUSIC The 39th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony took place Saturday night at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland and aired on Disney+ Among this year's honorees were Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Frampton, Foreigner, Jimmy Buffett, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, Kool & the Gang, A Tribe Called Quest, MC5 and Dionne Warwick. Saturday night's ceremony will be condensed into a three hour highlights show that will air on ABC on New Year's Day. Jelly Roll loves interacting with his fans -- but he won't be doing it on X anymore. Jelly says he's quitting the app formerly known as Twitter, calling it "the most toxic negative app to exist ever — PERIOD." In what presumably will be his final post, he wrote, "It's a safe place for everyone to say mean [crap] to each other with no consequences." This isn't the first time he's ducked out on X. Back in April, his wife Bunnie XO said he'd quit due to excessive heckling over his weight. Ahead of the 20th anniversary edition of American Idiot coming out on Friday, Green Day have shared a previously unreleased live video for "Holiday" filmed at The Warfield in San Francisco on October 13th, 2005. The Struts have shared a new single called "Can't Stop Talking." Liam Gallagher has shot down a report that Apple TV+ wanted to pay big money for a documentary about the Oasis reunion. Gallagher tweeted, "We're not doing one... There's been enough said about this band -- it's time to get Rocking and Rolling, not yapping and scrapping." TV Remember Benjamin Glaze? He was a contestant on "American Idol" back in 2018 who told the judges that he'd never kissed a girl. He was 19 at the time. So Katy Perry called him to the table and made him kiss her on the cheek. But then she made him do it again. The second time, she turned her head and kissed Benjamin right on the lips. Welp . . . Benjamin has just been arrested for possession of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. A lot of it. More than 700 images and videos were allegedly found on his phone. He was arrested on Friday. Remember Joe Exotic from "Tiger King"? He's been quarantined in prison due to scabies. MOVING ON INTO MOVIE NEWS: Horror sequel Smile 2 is the No. 1 movie in North America this weekend, earning $23 million at the box office. Congrats to Jennifer Lawrence, who is pregnant again! Sylvester Stallone showed off his dance moves on Instagram over the weekend putting on a performance to the Motown classic “More Love” by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles.

"And the thing that really makes me sad is that we humanize them when they're little, by putting them in diapers and feeding them bottles and dressing them in clothes. And then we demonize them when they grow up and act like the wild animal that they are, because people think if they neuter them, if they get their teeth removed - not my chimp, my chimp is not going to act like that." - Angela Scott Last week we released an episode with Brittany Peet, PETA's general counsel for captive animal law enforcement, who is featured in the HBO docuseries, Chimp Crazy. If you haven't seen it, please see it. It's made by Eric Goode, the guy who made Tiger King, and it is equally shocking. It also shines a light on the need to pass the Captive Primate Safety Act and there are many high hopes that that act could get passed this year because of Chimp Crazy. Chimp Crazy focuses on chimpanzee owners, private owners that buy cute baby chimps, dress them up and treat them like human children until they are 5 or 6 years old, when the chimps become large, and very strong wild animals. This part usually ends badly. Well, it always ends badly for the chimps but quite often it does for the humans too. This conversation is with Angela Scott, the whistleblower in Chimp Crazy, and for this entire case. A little background: Angela volunteered at a place called Chimp Party for a woman named Connie Casey. Connie and her husband Mike bred and sold chimpanzees and other primates for decades. PETA got involved because of the horrific conditions these chimps were living in. Angela was the whistleblower who worked with PETA. But before the case could fully go through, Connie gave her chimps to a woman named Tonya Haddix. And the chimps were in Tanya's care when they were rescued, all except for one, a chimp named Tonka. Tanya tried to keep Tonka for herself and she hid him from PETA for months in a cage in her basement. All of the chimps, including Tonka, were eventually saved because of Angela's willingness to go back to Connies and film what she saw. Angela's stories of what these chimps went through are astonishing and I am so grateful to her for sharing them with us.
In this bonus episode, David and Patrick discuss Chimp Crazy, a 4-part docuseries on HBO/Max from the director who brought you Tiger King.Is Chimp Crazy a more worthy recommendation than Tiger King?

We've done it everyone. We finally got Susie's silent laugh to the next level with what feels like ten minutes of hysterical laughter. We're not proud that it's about rectal exams, but it is what it is. We hear why the Baywatch docuseries is a must-watch, Sarah might have to squash her beef with Hobie, and the cast is similar to reality cast members. We learn about the Chimp Crazy documentary, the type of people who own chimps as pets, and how the ethics of documentaries were tested on this wild film from the makers of Tiger King. We discuss "rooftoppers," which are daredevils who hang off the sides of buildings and ledges of skyscrapers to get pics for social media and why they're not just adrenaline junkies, but actually far more relatable.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 55% off your order, head to https://www.nurturelife.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet an exclusive 20% off your first order at https://thrivecausemetics.com/BRAINCANDYGet 25% off your first month for a limited time at https://ritual.com/BRAINCANDYCancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to https://rocketmoney.com/BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
