Welcome back to WATG, where the sarcasm's thick, the takes are unfiltered, and the vibes are somewhere between a deli line fight and a conspiracy theory thread. In this episode, Vin and Kurt spiral gloriously through:
Welcome back to WATG, where the sarcasm is thick, the dreams are expensive, and the conversations sound like you're eavesdropping on three guys at a Long Island diner at 2 a.m. after a funeral and a fifth of bourbon.In this episode, Vince, Kurt, and JK dive headfirst into the fantasy of quitting it all if someone handed them a crisp $5 million check. Spoiler alert: they wouldn't exactly be sipping cocktails in the Maldives—they'd probably still be arguing about whether Staten Island tap water causes memory loss or just bad attitudes.From sleep-deprived rants about money anxiety to philosophical debates on whether they'd help people or just buy a really nice grill, this one's packed with painfully relatable insights and inappropriate jokes. Plus: stories about drunk coworkers, Disney trip trauma, shady water filtration schemes, and the kind of travel math that only makes sense when you're running on coffee and four hours of sleep.If you've ever wanted to know how $5 million could save your soul—or destroy your sanity—this episode's for you.[00:00] Intro – JK's back and the glue is still drying[05:23] $5 Million: Freedom or Fantasy?[12:47] Sleepless nights, money stress, and adulting on hard mode[24:15] Travel rage, Disney dads, and caffeine-fueled road trips[30:55] Outro – Existential dread, but make it funny
Welcome back to WATG - where bad decisions are discussed like fine art.In this episode, "$200,000 Weddings and Other Terrible Ideas," your favorite bunch of professional complainers - Kurt, Vin, Jesse, and Sal Zo - tackle life's most baffling disasters: overpriced weddings, raising teenagers, getting mauled by dogs (but not without a fight), freestyle music's rise and fall, and why HomeGoods is a psychological torture chamber for anyone with undiagnosed ADHD.Expect sarcasm so thick you'll need a machete to get through it, and hot takes hotter than a summer day on the Belt Parkway.Timestamps:[00:00] Intro[05:23] $200,000 Weddings: Worth it or felony-level stupid?[12:47] Growing Up Sicilian: Food, funerals, and freestyle music[24:15] Dog fights, HomeGoods anxiety, and surviving Long Island life[30:55] Dating apps, fake photos, and why the world is finished[1:02:40] Being a parent: noise, chloroform, and children in the wild[1:19:15] The fall of freestyle music and the golden era of bad lyrics[1:34:20] Getting drugged before Easter (spoiler: not with holy water)[1:52:45] Outro - racism, robots, and other things we'll get canceled for
Step right up and witness the digital circus you didn't know you needed. In this week's episode of WATG, Kurt, Vin, Jesse, and JK dive headfirst into the deep, dark, and delightfully dumb corners of the internet. From blind drivers and horny priests to werewolf trauma and the actual Girth Masterr (don't Google it at work), this episode is a chaotic blend of New York sarcasm, locker room therapy, and barbershop banter.We talk Trump's NFL combine numbers, fight club recruitment techniques, the psychology of Will Smith, and why mushrooms are both the answer and the end. Also, Kurt might have started a cult and someone has a spreadsheet of Starbucks bathroom codes.Yeah, it's that kind of episode.Whether you're driving to Florida dodging blind drivers, or just need a reason to never microwave fish at work again - this one's for you. Buckle up.
Marty Attridge and Jim Gorman of Who Are Those Guys, as well as pedal steel player Brian Moritz, join Heart of The East End Gianna Volpe on WLIW-FM ahead of WATG's performance celebrating the music of Neil Young at the Riverhead Polish Hall on Saturday, April 12.

It's perhaps not something we think much about until we need it. But where we live when we get older will become a priority especially when our physical and social needs dictate our choices. Today, those choices have become much more palatable and even enticing when it comes to Luxury Senior Living. The demand for these high-end homes designed with community, health and wellness in mind continues to rise. It is also where WATG's Daun St. Amand comes in. As Managing Principal focusing on Residential and Senior Living projects, Daun recognises that later living is an opportunity to up the ante on the fundamentals in design when it comes to creating spaces with purpose. It is that kind of thinking that Daun has always found himself drawn to especially how form and function can enhance the health and wellbeing of those who will end up occupying those places. With over 30 years of experience in a career that has largely been focused on residential, landmark high-rise and urban-density projects, for Daun, new concepts in design was something he grew up exploring, an imagination fostered by days of playing near his home in the suburbs of Los Angeles to getting lost in the magic of making music.

Ronnie Tan's love for the outdoors is palpable – growing up in a city like Singapore, there was no shortage of lush greenery for him to be inspired and nurtured by. It would be that sense of wonder that would inform his career choices from his role as an outdoor educator and corporate trainer with the Outward Bound movement to taking a leap of faith by retraining as a landscape architect. The constant was and continues to be Ronnie's desire to explore the beauty and intelligence of the natural world and how we can thrive with all that Mother Nature offers. This, along with an interest in how technology influences and shapes our relationship with the natural world, is what he brings to WATG as Director of Landscape at WATG Singapore, and despite being a self-described introvert, this conversation is truly engaging.

Every single one of us has a story worth telling. It's that story that shapes who we are at home and what we bring to our work every single day. It's in the details where we discover the moments that shaped us, the people who inspired us and the choices that changed the course of our lives. When we start to get to know people on a deeper level, there is an appreciation for all that they bring to the table. So what better way to understand what separates from the rest and to get to know the extraordinary talent that makes WATG the world class architecture and design firm that it truly is? The first guest in this series is Sean Harry. With a big smile and an all-American openness, Sean exudes curiosity, kindness and love for his work as Managing Principal of Digital Design. Sean brings a wealth of experience and love for technology to the over 100 global projects in his portfolio. So what brought a kid from the cornfields of Ohio to a global architecture and design firm? And how has his love of science fiction helped to inspire his passion for futuristic concepts?

When you think of gaming, the kind you find in real life, what comes to mind? Roulette tables? Windowless casinos? All-you-can-eat buffets? While you can certainly find that, WATG believes that gaming has upped its game to elevate the customer experience into the world of entertainment. 5-star treatment where even thinking is effortless from the moment you arrive is a given—and that includes getting to and from that perfect lucky parking spot. So how is the entertainment space pushing boundaries and creating spaces that go beyond expectations? What is the ultimate goal? What are the psychological and emotional components that need to be satisfied when creating a social space and what materials or design elements are key to achieving that? In this episode, Monita is joined by Mark Yoshizaki, Managing Principal of Architecture at WATG. With close to 2 decades of experience, Mark has worked on numerous notable hospitality, leisure, and entertainment projects throughout the Middle East, the United States, and the Caribbean; a couple of which include the Mohegan Sun Phase III Expansion which is a 1,000 room hotel and casino expansion that includes retail, dining and entertainment venues; as well as the Tropicana Las Vegas Casino Hotel Resort, a 2,500-room resort hotel with a 750,000-square-foot podium containing a casino, retail, dining, and entertainment facilities.

Opulent. Grand. Expensive. Aspirational.. Words that were once used to describe luxury. But what words would architects and interior designers use today? What does luxury mean?

As Studio Director of Wimberly Interiors, Rachel is experienced in advising on new innovative design techniques that introduce individuality to projects.

How do you rebuild one of the world's most overpopulated capitals? And what happens to the old one? The city of Jakarta will no longer be the capital of Indonesia with plans to relocate the government to Kalimantan in Borneo. The new capital, named Nusantara, is a bid to redistribute wealth and create a new ‘center of economic gravity'. So, How do you conceive an entirely new capital city? What are the main factors that architects and master planners need to consider? And what are the challenges ahead? In Episode 2, Monita Rajpal is joined by Chris Panfil, Vice President and Director of Planning and Urban Design at WATG. Chris's work has included master planning and urban design for new communities, resort towns and villages, as well as planning strategies for cultural tourism destinations.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Wolves at the Gate over Zoom video! WOLVES AT THE GATE have announced their fifth album Eulogies. It arrives on March 11 via Solid State Records. The band recently shared the video for the new song "Peace That Starts the War.". Regarding the development of the song, he shares the unique way it came together over time, saying, "Writing this song was a blast. Joey got the ball rolling when he dropped the main intro riff into our Dropbox. I built the rest of the song from there. We all got together in Columbus for a writing session to finalize the songs, and that's where it really came to life. Joey wrote the guitar solo and end riff on the spot, and we were all literally yelling, screaming, and cheering him on as he tracked it. The same went for Nick when he tracked his scratch vocals for the end of that song. It was good times." Unrestricted by genre conventions and determined to raise the bar with each successive album, Wolves at the Gate deliver music and a message with a firm commitment to passion and authenticity. Tirelessly seeking out the light in seemingly overwhelming darkness, the Midwestern post-hardcore group balances soaring melodies with unrelenting metal and emotional heaviness. Eulogies arrives with confidence and forward motion born from reflection, introspection, and isolation. The small-town Ohio-based five-piece band built the foundations for the album's 13 songs during the pandemic shutdown, shaping diverse tracks like "Shadows," "Peace That Starts The War," and "No Tomorrow" into stunning confessional epics. Wolves at the Gate's audience treasures each of the band's best-known songs for the emotional depth, passionate catharsis, and evocative power contained in them, as evidenced by the millions of streams for WATG anthems. These include "Counterfeit," "A Voice in the Violence," and "Drifter" (from 2019's Eclipse); "Asleep," "Flickering Flame," and "War in the Time of Peace" (from 2016's Types & Shadows); "Relief," and "The Bird and the Snake" (from 2014's VxV); "Dead Man," "The Harvest," and "Slaves" (from 2012's Captors), and "Heralds" (from 2011's We Are The Ones).

Aujourd’hui, je me retrouve en compagnie d’Aurélie Nicod, qui est la co-fondatrice de Wool and the Gang. Si tu l'ignores, Wool and the Gang cest LA marque qui a dépoussiéré l’univers du tricot pour le rendre cool, fun et accessible à tous. C’est en digitalisant et remixant des vieux livres papiers sur le tricot qu’Aurélie, Jade et Lisa ont réussi à créer une ENORME communauté - rassemblant des tricoteurs passionnés ainsi que des acheteurs fans de pièces uniques. En somme, elles ont été parmi les premières à rendre le fameux DIY stylé, et surtout, à en faire un business. Obviously, quand j’ai découvert qu’Aurélie était genevoise, je me suis dit que ce serait ultra intéressant de l’inviter sur le podcast pour revenir sur cette folle aventure qui l’a propulsé dans les « cools girls » de la mode de l’époque. J'espère que vous kifferez notre conversation ! Comme toujours, si vous souhaitez découvrir les "coulisses" du podcast, suivez-nous sur instagram @vous.podcast. Bonne semaine et excellente écoute !
In this episode, Becky Van Dijk, Founder of We Are Travel Girls and Travel Girls Getaways, and a blogger and online educator, joins us to discuss how she turned her hobby into a full time business. Originally a banker at a top financial institution in the UK, Becky quickly realized that although her career was booming, she was not living the meaningful life she desired. After leaving her banking job not only once, but twice, she finally launched We Are Travel Girls - an online community that invites women who love traveling to showcase their beautiful photography and stories from around the world.Today, WATG has over 2 million views to the site, and approximately a half a million followers on instagram, and the community continues to grow daily, even in the middle of a pandemic that has stopped global travel. Becky and I met after I joined one of her retreats in Bali three years ago and it truly changed my life. We talk about what it took for Becky to get to where she is today, what she loves most about the community she has built, and how she sees the business continuing to evolve in the future. Join us as we discuss, and of course – share some of our own funny anecdotes – leaving you with the (probably) much-needed reminder: We've ALL been there before. _________________________________________________________ Subscribe and leave a rating!

Anthony Mallows is President and CEO of WATG, one of the world's leading design firms specialising in travel and hospitality. He joins David and Catherine in the latest episode of The Future of Travel podcast series for a wide-ranging conversation about design, infrastructure and human behavior. Anthony reflects the unique complexity of the COVID-19 crisis, considering that for the first time in modern history, lives have been threatened without aggression (i.e. we are not in the midst of a war). Anthony is optimistic that leisure travel will return but argues that three key factors will impact what that ultimately looks like: the impact of this crisis on the human psyche, the tools (e.g. technology) made available to change behaviours, and the regulatory environment we'll likely need to adjust to. He believes local culture will play a much greater role in travel's ‘new normal', while sustainable design, or doing more with less, will finally become a true hallmark of successful development.
On the Soul of Business, Claressa Monteiro spoke to John Achari, Vice President and Director of Planning and Urban Design of WATG and Wembley Interiors to tell us more about integrating sustainability into their design, their key initiatives in the realm of sustainability regionally, and greener urban design.
Margaret McMahon has had a storied career, though her path was a bit unconventional. After a summer of windsurfing and smoking pot, McMahon's mother encouraged her to find work at a temp agency. As luck, or fate, would have it, that led her to Trisha Wilson of Wilson Associates, who "saw something in me that I didn't see in myself," says McMahon. After three decades with Wilson, she left to helm Wimberly Interiors, the design arm of architecture firm WATG in New York, which now boasts multiple offices and a vast portfolio of high-end hospitality and residential projects that can be credited to McMahon's passion, savvy, and open-mindedness.

Margaret McMahon From Temp to Managing Director Today in the Lounge Nick speaks with Margaret McMahon, the Managing Director for Wimberly Interiors from WATG. Margaret talks about her unusual introduction into the interior design world, what her job at WATG entails, and what she looks for when she hires interns. Getting to Know Margaret Margaret McMahon grew up in Douglaston, Queens. Her favorite vacation spot is Ireland. She loves road trips, the people and the bad weather from there. She went to school and attended SUNY Albany and then DIS, Danish International Studies in Copenhagen. Beer, wine, or cocktail? She hasn't had alcohol in 9 years. She pretends to be drinking with a club soda, cranberry juice, and a lime. How Margaret Got Her Start When her father refused to pay for law school, Margaret windsurfed and smoked pot instead. Her mother ended up helping her by telling her to go to Kelly Services, a temp agency, and find a job. Trisha Wilson Associates was hiring for someone to cut matboards. Margaret was hired and ended up helping put together a presentation for the bankers' trust offices in Cairo, Egypt. She also took out the trash and got doughnuts. Margaret earned her two-year certificate in interior design at night while working for Trisha. She says that she learned things in school but in the ends was trained most by her clients. Not to mention Trisha Wilson was an amazing mentor. WATG WATG is an international architecture firm. Wimberly Interiors is the interior design firm within WATG. She has been with the firm for seven years. She is the Managing Director at Wimberly Interiors. Starting out, her job was to assess the business and open up a studio in New York. Her first year was tough because no one knew that she was coming into the firm. Today, Margaret's day to day really varies. She helps out the other WATG firms in Singapore or LA if they need help they help and vice versa. She often travels for projects. Margaret looks at proposals, manages staffing, and oversees financial work. There are some days where is she is completely bogged down with admin work that going out to the floor and just looking at the designs helps her unwind. She is very good at critiquing and giving advice on projects. Her job has no set definition because it changes every day. What Margaret Looks for in an Intern As an intern, or someone looking to get into the industry, you have to be willing to make it happen. Young people have to remember that this business is a learning process. Margaret doesn't care where you went to school, what really matters is your work ethic and your outlook on life. They absolutely look at portfolios and resumes when hiring. If you don't' have the same opportunities as someone going to a private school, if you're going to a public university or community college, you can still get the same opportunities, it just depends on how you author yourself. Even if your portfolio isn't all that great you can still sell yourself. Margaret and her team will certainly give you a try if you show you are worth it. Even if you are not required to do an internship for credit, Margaret highly recommends getting one to receive experience in the field. If you're passionate enough about the job you want and you do what it takes, you will be successful. To learn more visit Wimberly Interiors and follow Margaret on Instagram.
