  • McDonald’s Monopoly is Back & The Government Shutdown | The What Are We Doing Podcast #210

    McDonald’s Monopoly is Back & The Government Shutdown | The What Are We Doing Podcast #210
    Oct 18 2025
    We start with McDonald’s Monopoly, the one national event that manages to unite the country every fall. My son’s eating nuggets like they’re gold coins, I’m entering codes like a madman, and somehow the “major prizes” are already gone a week in. Somebody’s winning RVs, TVs, and million-dollar prizes while I’m sitting here collecting free hash browns and McChickens. But hey, at least there’s a secret way to play for free that McDonald’s doesn’t want you to know about.Then we move into the lawsuit of the week: Smucker’s vs. Trader Joe’s. Yep. Smucker’s is suing Trader Joe’s over Uncrustables. They say the “crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwich” design was stolen. We’re at the point in America where billion-dollar corporations are beefing over who owns the circle sandwich. You can’t make this up.Next up, the government shutdown. We’re weeks deep and no one cares. Nobody’s getting paid, food banks are feeding federal workers, and the TSA is either missing or working for free. I say keep it shut down. If we hit 60 days, turn the White House into a Spirit Halloween.But that’s not all. Donald Trump somehow found the time to:• Broker “peace” in the Middle East.• Send $20 billion to bail out Argentina’s collapsing economy.• Announce he’s building his own Arc de Trump because why not?Meanwhile, the rest of the country is drowning in family diners and new Sheetz gas stations. Every failed business in central Pennsylvania turns into a breakfast spot. Friendly’s? Now a diner. Hookah bar? Diner. Chinese restaurant? Diner. We have so many diners the eggs are forming a union.We wrap up with OpenAI’s new partnership with Walmart (the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard) and their latest feature that finally gives men what they’ve always wanted: intimacy mode. Yep, ChatGPT’s getting spicy. For twenty bucks a month you get a girlfriend who listens, compliments you, and doesn’t ask where you were last night.This episode is chaos from top to bottom—Monopoly scams, sandwich wars, government meltdowns, Trump buying Argentina, and AI turning romantic.Welcome to America, folks.

  • Post Malone’s Wild Night & Taylor Swift's Super Bowl Excuse, LIES | The What Are We Doing Podcast View test report

    Post Malone’s Wild Night & Taylor Swift's Super Bowl Excuse, LIES | The What Are We Doing Podcast View test report
    Oct 11 2025
    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.

  • Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime, Taylor Swift & Tai Lopez Investigation for $112M Fraud SCAM - Ep.208

    Bad Bunny Super Bowl Halftime, Taylor Swift & Tai Lopez Investigation for $112M Fraud SCAM - Ep.208
    Oct 3 2025
    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.
