    Ariana Ain't Grande
    Dec 1 2025
    This week on Zoning Out, Jordan Centry, Jason Allen King, and Jonathan Williams dive into chaos with everything from fake YouTube apology videos to defending their ICE comments. In This Episode: YouTube apology culture and monetizing fake sincerity, ICE backlash from last week’s episode & responding to angry commenters. Is criticizing ICE a crime? (Spoiler: no.) Ariana Grande’s appearance sparks debate – is it concern, body shaming or both? Do old people still make out? A surprisingly deep dive into intimacy and aging. Comedy Club drama: rowdy crowds, Champagne Rooms, and “Rachel”. Can you clone your dog? Tom Brady did. Would You Rather: $5K/month for life OR perfect teeth forever? Ancient aliens, Star Trek socialism, and the importance of humor in advanced civilizations. It's a lot. Plus: Friends with benefits in your 70s? Jonathan’s show hijacked by a senior couple’s shocking confession. Jordan’s stand-up weekend at Laughing Skull in Atlanta. Jason’s Duckworth’s feature weekend + more tour stops coming soon.

    Kanye's Apology
    Nov 21 2025
    In this explosive episode of Zoning Out, the guys dive headfirst into the theory that Oprah Winfrey may have popularized fatphobia — and back it up with receipts. From the infamous "Fat War" between Raleigh & Durham to Oprah’s decades-long Weight Watchers partnership, we unpack how one of America’s most beloved figures may have shaped toxic body norms. Also in this episode: Should billionaires even exist? Does taking Ozempic make Oprah the villain? Remember when ODB made fantasy a classic (and chaos)? Would you give up your favorite artist’s music if it meant they never did anything terrible? (Looking at you, Kanye, Chris Brown, Louis CK, Harvey Weinstein…) Comedy chaos includes: "No Ethical Billionaires" – our Billie Eilish-inspired rant; The Most Wild Studio Story Ever (ODB & Mariah Carey) ; Jordan's Oprah Conspiracy enters the stand-up stage; The Artist Controversy Draft – who stays, who goes? Lot Lizards vs. Ozempic – a metaphor no one asked for Jason’s Carnival Cruise Risk & comedy road updates Subscribe to hear unfiltered takes on comedy, culture, and chaos every week.

    Ol' Dirty AWS
    Oct 27 2025
    This week on Zoning Out, we open with laughs and life updates — from Instagram milestones to failed juggling goals. We also explore the massive AWS outage that briefly broke the internet and debate whether the world needs an “offline holiday.” Later, we get personal about sacrifices for stand-up comedy, missing once-in-a-lifetime concerts for club gigs, and drawing the line between passion and overwork. We close the episode reflecting on the passing of R&B icon D’Angelo, the legend behind Voodoo and Brown Sugar — and whether genius justifies being impossible to work with. Plus: The wild story of ODB and Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” remix The sudden closure of the Cherokee Comedy Zone The myth of cancel culture in entertainment A candid look at comedy club dynamics and “hobbyist” comics How smartphones destroyed our ability to read And a hilarious tangent about Cinemax, VHS tapes, and awkward teenage memories Subscribe & mash that like button for more comedy, chaos, and culture every week.

Adolescence (TV series) — why this powerful drama about kids, emojis, and hidden languages is some of the best acting we’ve ever seen.
