In this week's message, Pastor Mike Jurek unpacks Core Value #2 from our “What Are We Doing?” series — Believers Should Have Resources to Advance in Their Faith. He reminds us that personal growth in Christ is our responsibility, but we're not meant to do it alone. The Church is called to build each other up — to nourish, challenge, and walk together in faith. As we grow stronger individually and as a community, we become the kind of Church Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16:18 — one that the gates of hell cannot overcome.Let's commit to spiritual strength, unity, and revival together!#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #RevivalStartsHere #GrowInFaith #VisionSeries #CoreValues #PastorMikeJurek #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-4-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

The Church exists to strengthen, equip, and encourage every believer. When we all pull together — like a team training toward the same goal — God's Kingdom advances and lives are changed.Spiritual growth happens when we dig into God's Word, live it out, and help others grow too. Let's row together toward revival!#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #GrowTogether #JesusChangesEverything #SpiritualGrowth #CoreValues #VisionSeries #PastorDanielStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-4-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
In this message, Pastor Mike Stevens continues our “What Are We Doing?” vision series, focusing on Core Value #2 — Believers Should Have Resources to Advance in Their Faith. Pastor Mike reminds us that spiritual growth is both personal and communal. Each believer must take responsibility for their own development while the Church comes alongside to equip, encourage, and strengthen one another. Like a team training together, we “row” in unity toward the vision of Matthew 16:18 — seeing God's Kingdom built through a healthy, thriving church family.We're called to grow strong in faith, to help others do the same, and to build a community where everyone advances together in Christ.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #GrowInFaith #SpiritualGrowth #JesusChangesEverything #VisionSeries #CoreValues #PastorMikeStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-4Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

This week, Pastor Daniel Stevens continues the series “What Are We Doing?” by exploring Core Value #1: Everyone Deserves to Hear the Gospel.We're called to be the Church that works together—sharing Jesus through missions, personal conversations, and community impact. Every prayer, every act of generosity, and every moment of obedience matters in helping others encounter Christ.Let's move as one body, showing the love of Jesus not just through words, but through a consistent, Spirit-led life.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #PastorDanielStevens #JesusChangesEverything #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #Gospel #MissionMindset #WhatAreWeDoingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-3-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

We are called to be overcomers, serving together with one heart and mission.

We're reminded that the Church isn't a building or an institution—it's us, the followers of Jesus, working together for the cause of Christ!

When each of us reaches our full potential in Christ, the Church wins and the Kingdom advances.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #GodsPlan #TeamJesus #ReachUpRiseUpReachOutSermon Notes: N/AGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
In Part 1: The Situation, Pastor Mike Stevens reminds us that today is the day of salvation — the moment to walk with God, live in His truth, and embrace eternal life. Yet many still miss it. Through Scripture, Pastor Mike explains that entering the narrow gate begins with two simple but life-changing steps: repent and follow Jesus. This is more than religion — it's relationship, transformation, and mission. Let's rise up and live out the vision to Reach Up, Rise Up, and Reach Out together.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #Salvation #FollowJesus #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorMikeStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-1-msGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
In Part 1: The Situation, Pastor Mike Jurek unpacks what it truly means to respond to God's call. Today is the day of salvation — the time to receive forgiveness and start walking in new life. Pastor Mike reminds us that the narrow gate isn't about religion but about relationship — choosing to turn from sin and follow Jesus as Savior and Lord. When we do, we become part of God's great plan to share hope with the world.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #HopeInChrist #SalvationMessage #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorMikeJurekSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-1-mj Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn
In this week's message, Part 1: The Situation, Pastor Daniel Stevens shares how today — not someday — is the day of salvation. God's invitation is open right now, but many overlook it. Pastor Daniel teaches that following Jesus means more than attending church; it's about turning away from darkness and living daily in God's light. Through repentance and obedience, we step into the fullness of life Jesus promised. Let's continue to Reach Up, Rise Up, and Reach Out in faith and purpose.#GoodHopeChurch #FaithForToday #JesusChangesEverything #Salvation #RepentAndFollow #ReachUpRiseUpReachOut #PastorDanielStevensSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/vision25-1-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Charlie Kirk Is Dead. The Right Is Making Holocaust Memes. What Are We Doing? Today on Wake Up America, Austin Petersen confronts the most disturbing story in politics right now: a leaked group chat of Young Republican leaders filled with Hitler memes, gas chamber jokes, and open antisemitism — and the fallout that could tear the movement apart. We'll unpack:
Episode 209 of the What Are We Doing Podcast is pure chaos wrapped in brilliance. I'm talking glittery margaritas, fake grilled steak nuggets, Taylor Swift lies, and Post Malone losing control of Broadway—all in one episode.This week kicks off with me breaking down the $20 “Gold Dust Rita” from Dave & Buster's. It's a drink that costs more than a bottle of Tito's and comes with a literal glitter bomb. I explain why it's not just overpriced—it's a metaphor for your money dissolving in front of your eyes. Then we dive into Arby's latest experiment: Steak Nuggets. Yeah, you heard me. Steak. Nuggets. I go over how Arby's is now pretending to “grill” meat in a building that doesn't even have a grill and why their new TikTok heroes, “The Arby's Boys,” might be the best thing on the internet right now.Then, I reveal how Sheetz officially slid into my DMs after I called their chili cheese dogs the best in the game. They offered me another free shirt, but I'm shooting higher. I want the Sheetz Halloween costume. I offer to wear it for weeks if they send one. I'm one DM away from being the face of Sheetz Nation.We also talk about Taylor Swift's Life of a Showgirl release week. She broke Adele's record, but I break down how the interviews have turned into one long Travis Kelce fan club meeting. Fallon finally asked her why she turned down the Super Bowl, and her answer? “I'm in love with a guy who plays football.” Sure, Tay. That's strike one.Then there's Post Malone, who finally remembered he owns a bar in Nashville and decided to throw a surprise concert and pay everyone's tab. Naturally, 400,000 people showed up. It was less “grand opening” and more “mini-Coachella with free beer.”Finally, we wrap up with the trailer for HBO's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the new Game of Thrones prequel. I break down why it looks awesome but also kind of pointless, because we already know none of the main characters can die. It's like watching Star Wars prequels—you already know the ending.And because this is the What Are We Doing podcast, we end with Donald Trump claiming he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for “ending the conflict in Gaza.” Spoiler alert: he didn't win.This episode has everything—drunk parking lot hacks, fast-food conspiracies, celebrity nonsense, and international comedy politics.Watch, laugh, and for the love of God, hit the Hype button on YouTube.
Episode 208 of the What Are We Doing podcast is pure chaos in the best way. I kicked things off, reminding everyone that yes, it's October. I said it about 47 times because apparently, I can't believe calendars exist. Then I dove right into the big releases of the week: Soulja Boy dropping his third album of 2025, Swag 7, and Taylor Swift's new album The Life of a Showgirl. I gave both their flowers, but let's be real, Taylor hijacked the whole cultural moment. From her track Wood (we all know who that's about) to the Jonas Brothers and Jackson 5 “inspirations,” Swifties are eating while Soulja Boy's somewhere trying to sell us crank dat NFTs.Then we hit the halftime show drama. Everyone thought Taylor was locked for the Super Bowl. She teased it, the NFL hinted at it, and we all gaslit ourselves into believing she was confirmed. Turns out, it's Bad Bunny. And I'm here for it. The boomers are going to lose their minds when they realize the biggest artist in the world only sings in Spanish. This is the Super Bowl, not a Lynyrd Skynyrd reunion. Sit down, dad.After that, I took aim at Tai Lopez. Remember the guy in his garage with the Lamborghini and the books? Yeah, he's being dragged by the SEC for running a $112 million Ponzi scheme. Turns out “Here in my garage” was code for “Here in my court hearing.” If you invested in RadioShack crypto, that's on you, babes.We also talked about my son's new obsession with AI-generated YouTube slop. He's six years old, and instead of watching Paw Patrol, he's glued to a video about a capybara setting off a fire alarm and then saving the company. Parents, stop gatekeeping iPads. Give your kids the tech. They're already building Google Doc chatrooms in school. You can't fight it.Then we checked in on Lil Wayne, who may or may not be releasing another rock album if this unreleased track is any indication. Spoiler: it's bad. Maybe it's time Weezy hangs up the guitar. Or maybe Los from 280 Plus can convince me otherwise.And finally, the cherry on top: I got the best YouTube comment of the year. Shout out to Joshua Bradshaw for telling me to nap in traffic. Your hate fuels this machine, my friend.This episode is stacked with Swifties, Soulja Boy, scammers, Super Bowl conspiracies, Bad Bunny truth bombs, AI capybaras, and Lil Wayne midlife crises. You already know what to do. Hit like, hit subscribe, leave a comment, then go get your kid an iPad before they fall behind on learning what sigma means.
Episode 206 of the What Are We Doing podcast is stacked, babes. This week I'm back with a fresh nose piercing, courtesy of a throwback prom fundraiser for breast cancer research. Fifty bucks, one piercing, and apparently I've advanced science by a decade. You're welcome.From there, we break open the wildest headline of 2025: Taylor Swift arrested on weapons and drug charges after a standoff on her tour bus. Yes, you heard that right. Submachine guns, meth, fentanyl, explosives—the whole DEA starter pack. Is it a setup by Scooter Braun? Was it Travis Kelce with the diamond playbook? I lay out the only logical defense strategy.Then we roll straight into late-night chaos. Jimmy Kimmel got yanked off ABC after Sinclair flexed their conservative media monopoly muscles. Fallon cracked a bad joke. Colbert pretended to care. And the whole thing proves once again that freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it does when billionaires run TV.Meanwhile, Trump's busy bragging about his $250 million White House ballroom like it's a new Bass Pro Shop, and I'm praying aliens blow the roof off 20 minutes after the first dinner service. Jimmy Kimmel is out, Charlie Kirk's assassination fallout continues, and somehow librarians in Pennsylvania are now part of the culture war. What are we doing?And just when you thought you could breathe—Dunkin Donuts decided to double the points needed for a free iced coffee. Nine hundred points. Nine. Hundred. Points. In this economy. We need to rally the Cracker Barrel Army and launch a full-blown digital assault to get those rewards rolled back.Plus, I react to the new Now You See Me 3 trailer, Elon Musk's AI “Grok” Twitter takeover, and why Hollywood thinks dropping ChatGPT references makes movies relevant. Spoiler: it doesn't.It's chaos from start to finish.

I've got my Radical Rita Chili's shirt on, I'm winning giveaways on Twitter like a full-time job, and I'm threatening to jump ship to Applebee's if Chili's doesn't keep their promises. From there, things spiral like they always do.We're talking Cardi B in court for scratching a security guard, her lawyers sounding like they graduated from TikTok Law School, and the courtroom transcripts being pure comedy. Then we break down Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement saga. The ring, the prenup, Killer Trav's AIM-level Instagram handle, and why every boyfriend in America now has to pretend to be a Swifty for at least 48 hours.But I'm done. I swear on my Frenchie, LuBug's life, I'm done talking about Taylor and Travis after this episode. Until they do literally anything else and I have to bring it up again.From there, I get into Will Smith embarrassing himself again with AI tour promo videos full of melting faces and mutant hands. Legacy artists are struggling, Lil Wayne is out here opening with screamo bands, and it might be time for some of these guys to hang it up.Sponsors came through big this week.

Episode 203 is stacked, dude. Here's everything I covered this week, all in one place:First off, I'm plugging Megs' new blown booby art. It started as a bit, now it's real. One-of-one paintings made with, you guessed it, paint and boobs. You can buy them right now at wadpod.com/art. Support a local artist, hang them in your house, and flex on your neighbors.-- wawdpod.com/art Then I had to address the Olive Garden incident. Yes, I “hit” an old lady with my car in the parking lot. But before you judge me, she came at my son inside the restaurant first. He was happy, eating his chicken tenders, making a few sound effects like kids do. She waddled over, told Megs she was a terrible mom, then waddled up front to complain again. Servers literally came to apologize to us. People out here policing autistic kids like they run the parenting Olympics. What are we doing?From there we dove into the chaos that is the Cracker Barrel rebrand. New logo, new look, stock prices tanking, internet rioting. I stepped in like the digital savior I am and designed a better logo myself. I'm now officially the face of Cracker Barrel 2025, partnered with their new CEO, who is sneaky hot by the way. Everyone's mad, I think it's fine. Sydney Sweeney's joining me as brand ambassador, and we're saving breakfast one biscuit at a time.Then we had to talk about the Trump T1 phone scam. They're advertising a “gold” Trump phone, but it's literally a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra in a Spigen case… and they left the watermark on. Subscriptions are overpriced, fees everywhere, autopay only, and people are still buying it. Don't give Trump your debit card. Give me your debit card. wadpod.com/art.Trump wasn't done though. He's now using his so-called “peace talks” between Russia and Ukraine as cool points to get into heaven. He literally said on Fox News, “I want to get to heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well.” Bro, if your afterlife strategy is saving 7,000 lives a week, maybe start by not scamming people with gold phones.Next up, internet news. AJ and Big Justice dropped their new single “Big Fat Meatballs” and it's the anthem nobody knew we needed. Central PA finally has its Drake and 21 Savage, but with marinara. Go stream it everywhere, or you're un-American.Meanwhile, Trisha Paytas linked up with Arby's. Yes, the queen of chaos is now the queen of beef and cheddar. She filmed a Jamoka Shake commercial that's peak Trisha. She's also out here naming her kids Elvis, Barbie, and Aquaman. Honestly, iconic.And finally, South Park roasted ChatGPT. They dropped a new episode where dudes are using AI to talk to their wives, and I've never felt more seen in my life. I told you already, if AI shuts down, I'm cooked. Emails, scripts, plans—gone. No more What Are We Doing podcast without it.That's the show. Episode 203, we covered:Booby art for sale.Olive Garden old lady beef.Cracker Barrel meltdown.Trump phone scam.Trump trying to buy a ticket into heaven.AJ & Big Justice meatball banger.Trisha Paytas x Arby's.South Park AI jokes.What are we doing?
We survived Mexico. We survived the wedding. We even survived the resort's “complimentary” robes (shoutout to DudeRobe for saving my honeymoon). And now… we're back.This week, I catch you up on the Cabo Wabo chaos — from my son crushing his first flight, to a surprise Backstreet Boys dance on the beach, to me promising Los we'll get him in the water with the dolphins NEXT time.Then it's straight into the news you didn't know you needed: Donald Trump declaring it's officially a Sydney Sweeney Summer (triple S, baby). We're talking jeans, ice cream, ad campaigns, and how the internet will find a way to call everything racist — yes, even Baskin-Robbins rainbow sherbet.We also address the crime of the century: Gypsy Rose stealing my business idea for “Blown Booby Art.” I can't make this up — she's peddling canvas blow art on TikTok while I'm here with an actual art degree, a Dyson dryer, and a commission already sold. Lawyers, get ready.From there, we hit Soulja Boy's latest “first rapper” achievement: getting arrested twice for the same thing. Sprinkle in Sean Kingston scamming a home theater system, the anxiety of going to Trader Joe's in America, South Park trolling Trump on a pro-Trump network, and my growing temptation to get the hell out of the U.S. for good.Also, the other “What Are We Doing” podcast? Still sitting on the floor. Boys, call Daddy. I'll let you use my set.Sponsors this week:

This week, we dig into Trump's surprise Iran strike: two-week warning turned two-minute missile salvo, 37-hour B-52 round trips, and vaporizing Iran's version of Three Mile Island. It's the same “stop WMDs” story from '08, but now with F-bombs on CNN. I even sketched out a gold “What Are We Doing” button he should carry for moments like that.Then Nickelodeon canceled Tiny Chef after two seasons. That little guy's lips were quivering—come on. We need a petition, a Netflix revival, or at least a uniform at Popeye's.Will Smith's music comeback? Cringe-core.

Strap in, because we're diving headfirst into the kind of news that makes you question everything you thought was sacred—like the sanctity of a bubble bath, the sanctity of genre boundaries, and the sanctity of, well, federal convictions.First up: Sydney Sweeney. You thought Jacob Elordi cornered the market on selling your personal hygiene? Think again. Sydney's teamed up with Dr. Squatch to bottle her actual bathwater—yes, the very same suds she soaked in for that pipe-cleaningly innocent soap ad—and sell it back to you as a bar of “Bathwater Bliss.” Exfoliating sand! Pine bark! The tears of your dignity! Limited to 5,000 bars, this is the skincare equivalent of investing in Beanie Babies—if Beanie Babies smelled like a woodland paradise (or your ex's shower). I'll walk you through why this stunt is weird in the best way, and why I secretly want to scrub my face with the runoff from your neighbor's kiddie pool.Then we head to Citizens Bank Park, where Post Malone turned Philadelphia into a full-blown hoedown. Picture fireworks, a fog machine fueled by your ex's leftover cologne, and Allen Iverson himself moonlighting as your backing vocalist. Posty ran through trap bangers, rock ballads, and country heartbreakers faster than you can say “F-1 Trillion,” even picking food out of Jelly Roll's teeth mid-duet—because nothing says “artistic authenticity” like buddy-cop flossing. I'll break down the moments that had Eagles fans swapping jerseys, and why confetti-fuelled country anthems might just be the cure for whatever's ailing your Spotify Wrapped.On the business front, Hailey Bieber just proved that turning lipstick into gold is a $1 billion idea. In three years, she grew Rhode into e.l.f. Beauty's latest trophy acquisition, and now she's got a corner office in the world of pocket blushes and lip tints. We'll unpack how Gen Z's obsession with mini-makeup kits led to a merger bigger than your last Amazon order, and why you might need to start saving for your next lip gloss splurge.Finally, we pivot to the wild world of reality TV and presidential pardons, as Todd Chrisley makes his grand comeback—courtesy of Donald Trump's pardon pen. Todd and Julie Chrisley are free from federal prison, and Todd's out here declaring his innocence like a contestant on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (Except the question is “Did you defraud banks?” and the answer is “Trust me, guys.”) We'll dissect his press conference theatrics, Savannah Chrisley's lobbying hustle, and whether “no shame” is the new self-care mantra.It's a dumpster fire of pop culture madness, and you know I'm here to lounge in it. So hit play, grab your favorite (legal) soap, and let's get dirty—because this is What Are We Doing, and frankly, I'd rather be talking about bathwater than politics… but here we are.Mariachi Snooze by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
This week on On a Water Break, Nicole Younger is back hosting a twirl-tastic episode packed with passion, performance, and positivity! She's joined by Ashlee Amos and Ohio State's own Jacob Cline (@jacob.cline.161), and they're diving into everything from the pipeline between twirling and color guard to the world of college twirling auditions and what it's like being a male twirler building a platform and community online.
AKA: Why I Once Tried to Drive My Kids to Disneyland to Avoid Unpacking Boxes (Spoiler: It Didn't Work)Okay, so...remember when you decided to start that new workout routine and Day 3 felt like your muscles were staging a full-on rebellion? That's EXACTLY what the first 8 weeks of transforming your parenting feels like. Except instead of sore quads, it's your entire nervous system going "WAIT, WHAT ARE WE DOING?!"Here's what we're diving into today:
Welcome to episode 190 of What Are We Doing! If you've ever wondered what I've been hiding in this briefcase, buckle up, because today I finally (almost) reveal the ultra-secret, super-exclusive gadget that's been taking over Wan Pod Studios—though you'll have to hit subscribe and ring that bell if you want to be among the first mortals to see it in all its glory.We kick things off with a studio update: not only am I toying with an alien invasion down here in the Levi McCurdy hemisphere, but we're also launching a brand-new, music-and-amps podcast straight out of our guitar shop haven. If you're into pet oils, power chords, or pondering why guitars have volume knobs but no “volume demon”—this one's for you.Then it's on to crypto chaos: Bitcoin just blasted through $111,000—yes, you heard that right—and I'm praying to the crypto gods (hand motions included) that it holds. Meanwhile, XRP could double and solve half our national debt, so let's get those banks onboard! I even touch on the ever-lovely Hailey Welch and her constant need to convince us all that “snipers” lost money in that wild token scam—spoiler: regular folks got tanked too, Hailey.Wedding news: thanks to Bitcoin bull runs, we can finally afford to wrap up this wedding thing—Mexico, mid-July, beach vibes, open bar, please send tequila—and then I'll promptly bounce back for a $10,000 server bill. Because powering an empire isn't free, folks.Next, we roast the latest DoorDash + Klarna fiasco: financing your Crunchwrap like it's a mortgage? Eat now, cry later, America. Klarna's Q1 losses doubled to $150 million because apparently we'd rather pay $4 now and forget about it for three weeks than cough up $17—psychology 101. And if you want to short them, remember: the CEO just used an AI avatar to tell his board they could fire him and save millions. What are we doing?Shifting gears, we dive into the New Orleans jailbreak: ten dangerous felons, an inside job that involved turning off water and tagging “Too Easy →” on the wall (with a misspelled “two,” bless them). Half are back in cuffs, but three are still on the run—bet on Poly Market whether they'll be caught before GTA VI drops. Giddy up.Massive shout-out to Dude Robe for sponsoring today's episode—your gift-card stint at Home Depot ain't gonna cut it this Father's Day. Treat your pops to the ultimate hooded towel-hybrid: the Reversible Dude Hoodie, plus a matching robe (use code WOD for 20% off). Because Dad deserves more than socks.Finally, we blast through AI madness: Google IO's new Gemini tricks (live Meet translations, AI-powered try-ons so you can see yourself in that dress before you buy it), Video 3 and Google Flow that could have Spielberg calling for an agent, and OpenAI's $6.5 billion “IO” jab at Google, featuring Jony Ive's comeback to hardware design. If you're not experimenting with AI yet, congrats—you've already missed the boat.That's a wrap on 190—if you're still with me, hit like, subscribe, and ring that bell so you don't miss the big briefcase reveal, the new podcast launch, or my inevitable meltdown when I discover I've spent all my Bitcoin on dad-jokes. I've got to pick up my kid, DJ a wedding tomorrow, then sprint to Philly for a Post Malone weekend (Cheesecake Factory runs included).Happy Memorial Day, enjoy the holiday, and I'll catch you next Friday. Peace out—what are we doing?
This week on On A Water Break Weekly, we're twirling into something special! Author and longtime color guard veteran Jase Peoples joins us to talk about Twirl—his new YA novel that centers queer identity, color guard culture, and the power of found family. We get into his 32 Count Life Story, talk representation in marching arts literature, and how Twirl is already resonating with performers across the country.To Catch up on the Book with Jase Peeples (@jasepeeples). Check it out (bit.ly/3Z8n1Fi)Plus, it's a packed sideline with Jackie, Ricardo, Trish, and special guest Jase jumping in on this week's topics, including:
This week, we're taking a break with two powerhouse performers who are redefining what it means to be visible — both on the floor and online. Hosts Jackie Brown and Nicole Younger sit down with Piper Click (University of Alabama, Alta Marea, Blue Devils) and Max Marr (Fantasia, Blue Devils) to talk about performing at the highest level while managing a growing social media presence during the competitive season.In this episode, Piper and Max share their 32 Count Life Stories, give us a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to balance school, rehearsal, and content creation, and reflect on how visibility, legacy, and pressure shape their experience as young leaders in the marching arts.
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:
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*************************************************************
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

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.

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?
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.

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?)

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!
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.

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

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. So sit back, relax, and get ready to say, “What are we doing?” at least a dozen times—because this episode is packed with the drama you didn't know you needed. Levi's brutally honest take on these stories makes this episode a must-listen for anyone craving the raw, the absurd, and the downright unbelievable.

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 get into it! --- 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! And remember, if you think your life is weird, just wait until you hear what we're doing. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/what-are-we-doing-pod/support
