    Jeffrey Epstein Never Had A List & Just Bieber Drops SWAG, Review & More | What Are We Doing Ep.197
    Jul 11 2025
    I debunked the latest Epstein conspiracies (“10,000 hours of footage, just him”), wondered why Post Malone hasn’t shown up to open his own bar in Tennessee, and put in a secret bid to buy Billy McFarland’s Fire Festival brand. Spoiler: I’m planning Fire Sparks Fest—a mix of DJ sets, magic with Chris Angel, live podcast panels, and zero cheese sandwiches.Plus, I gave a brutally honest take on Justin Bieber’s new 21-track album (does Sexy Red even belong on it?), and I predicted which big comedy podcasts will survive the next year now that everyone’s weekend-long schedules are imploding.Hit subscribe and turn on notifications—if we get one new subscriber a week, we keep rolling.

  • Buried in Philadelphia's Trash Strike, Netflix Poop Cruise Disaster & Tiny Chef Is Saved | Ep.196

    Buried in Philadelphia's Trash Strike, Netflix Poop Cruise Disaster & Tiny Chef Is Saved | Ep.196
    Jul 5 2025

    I kick off episode 196 deep in the middle of Philadelphia’s garbage crisis. The municipal workers’ strike has turned city streets into a landfill. Mountains of trash tower over people at Princeton and Hawthorne in Mayfair. The city taped off the mess and rerouted everyone to a drop-off at State and Ashburner—when you can find your way past the rats and the stench. I talk to locals like Felix Romelien (“The smell is unbelievable”) and Patrick Glynn (“We’re going to have rats here tonight like this”), and we wonder why the city plopped this dumpster 50 yards from Mayfair Elementary. If you’ve ever driven through this area, you know it’s not just gross—it’s a full sensory assault.Next, I dive into Netflix’s latest nostalgia trip: Trainwreck: Poop Cruise. Remember the Carnival Triumph? That 2013 disaster where a fire killed the power, the toilets stopped working, and the walls literally bled sewage? Netflix brings us talking heads rehashing the “bag it and bear it” saga as if we need another hour of people describing feces in biohazard bags. I riff on how we used to treat broken toilets as front-page news in the Obama era, but now we breeze past political assassinations and wars without a blink. I question why we’re reliving this maritime bathroom nightmare and admit I watched the whole doc—while eating my lunch.Finally, I celebrate a tiny hero: Tiny Chef. After Nickelodeon pulled the plug, fans rallied behind our favorite mini-cook. Creators Rachel Larsen, Ozlem “Ozi” Akturk, and Adam Reid raised enough cash to bring the show back to life. I break down their heart-melting video—Chef singing “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” the open window blowing breeze through the set, the #savetinychef hashtag—and share why this grassroots rescue warms my cynical heart.If you laughed, gagged, or felt your nostrils flare, hit subscribe. Follow me on TikTok @wawdpod for more chaos in under a minute. Drop a comment and tell me: what ridiculous news should we tackle next? And as always, I’ll leave you with one simple question: What are we doing?

  • Daddy’s Home! Trump Drops Missiles & F-Bombs & Will Smith Needs to Stop Making Music | Episode 195

    Daddy’s Home! Trump Drops Missiles & F-Bombs & Will Smith Needs to Stop Making Music | Episode 195
    Jun 27 2025
    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. His freestyles sound like 2005, his new chorus only works at 1.25x speed, and no one moved at his street show. Sorry, Will, stick to movies.The Liver King saga hits peak absurd: raw-meat guru exposed as a steroid user, challenging Joe Rogan to a fight, arrested in Texas, now ranting on TikTok. Dude needs help.Shoutout to Brendan Shaw, who moved his podcast into a Texas storage locker—no AC, auto-shutoff lights, train horns every 20 minutes. Fighter and the Kid is spiraling, and Thick Boy Studios is hemorrhaging cash.Finally, David Spade’s new movie Bus Boys is stacked with Rogan pals, YouTubers, and Kill Tony alumni. Bet Tony Hinchcliffe cut a deal behind the scenes.I’m wiped from editing two client shows, so this one’s a bit short. I’ll be back full-force for episode 196. If you haven’t yet, subscribe, like, and ring the bell. Follow wherever you scroll. What are we doing? See you next week.

  • Apple's Liquid Glass, Joe Budden, Joe Exotic & America's Got Talent - What are We Doing Podcast E193

    Apple's Liquid Glass, Joe Budden, Joe Exotic & America's Got Talent - What are We Doing Podcast E193
    Jun 14 2025
    First up, we plunged headlong into our unofficial Horror Olympics, pitting the recycled slasher spectacle Halloween H2O against the gore-fuelled insanity of Terrifier. Los, my co-host and fellow horror heathen, came in hot with his predictable picks: masked maniacs, jump scares on demand, and “classic” kills that he swears “stand the test of time.” Meanwhile, I defended my unorthodox torchbearers—Disturbia, that suburban teenage thriller where Shia LaBeouf proves you don’t need a chainsaw to feel hunted, and Ready or Not, the wildly inventive house-of-cards satire where wedding night turns into lawn-chair carnage. I laid out my argument that clever setup and character-driven tension beat thirty seconds of gratuitous forehead-stabbing any day, and Los grudgingly admitted that yeah, maybe I’m onto something—though he reserves the right to scream “that’s so 2004” in my face.Apple’s WWDC: When “Liquid Glass” Means “Blinded by the Future”Next, we jumped into Apple’s annual pep rally—WWDC 2025—where they unveiled “liquid glass” as if we all suddenly cranked our devices through Drano and into a Black Mirror episode. I recapped the parade of translucent iPhones and speculated that next year we’ll be holding our MacBook Air by firelight, because who needs a screen when you can have “milky clarity”? We tore into how Siri is still a glorified paperweight despite promises of AI wizardry, and why the average consumer probably won’t care until iOS 26 auto-transforms their phone into a sentient sidekick that orders pizza for them. Los and I marveled at Vision Pro’s new “polar vortex mode,” which literally chills your eyeballs to deliver immersion—but at the cost of your retinas. Moral of the story: Apple might soon merge hardware and hallucination, but they still can’t figure out why we ask Siri to set alarms and it replies “Good luck with that.”TikTok Ban Scare Round… Whatever This IsIn political theater news, yet another TikTok ban scare is slated for June 19th—cue the gnashing of teeth and frantic downloader guides. I explained why this one’s more PR stunt than policy: no executive order on the horizon, just another Washington soundbite designed to keep us distracted while they debate farm subsidies and military spending. Rumor has it Elon Musk weighed in—between tweets about Dogecoin dips—but I assure you, the app empire isn’t crumbling (yet). So don’t uninstall: keep those 15-second dance routines and cat lip-syncs flowing.TikTok’s Jay Renshaw: The “Chit” Series That Actually ChitsSpeaking of TikTok, I fell down the rabbit hole of Jay Renshaw’s “Chit” series—videos titled things like “Golf Chit,” “Wedding Chit,” and my personal favorite, “Corporate Chit.” This guy somehow distills every cringe corporate ritual into sub-30-second vignettes that feel like airport bathroom graffiti come to life. I shared my top picks and why, if you need a crash course in humanity’s most bizarre habits, this is your masterclass. Warning: you may start narrating your own life with dramatic “Chit” captions—totally normal.Wedding DJ Confessional: When Photographers Duel with CaffeineIn a rare “real life” detour, I recounted my latest gig—spinning tracks at a wedding reception where the photographer, fresh from a bout of over-caffeination, chugged three cans of Hard Mountain Dew thinking it was Sprite. I described the ensuing dad-dance chaos as his shutter finger trembled like a seismic sensor. The bride and groom thought it was performance art. I thought it was a liability. Congratulations to Deb and Kev for capturing every jittery shot of Uncle Bob’s twerking meltdown.Joe Exotic for President? Biden’s Surprising Pardon PitchOn the political front, we dove into Joe Biden’s off-the-cuff suggestion to free Joe Exotic—and no, I’m not making this up for clicks. ..

    Elon Musk & Donald Trump Break Up! PLUS - Joe Rogan is An Idiot... | What are We Doing Podcast, E192
    Jun 8 2025
    We’re 192 episodes deep and STILL gaining subs, baby—what are the haters gonna say now? This week’s episode kicks off with a personal PSA about my voice (yes, it’s real, yes, there was a helium balloon involved, and no, we’re not doing the full story yet—maybe next week). But more importantly: it’s time to say goodbye. No, not to me. To Twilight on Netflix. That’s right—Bella, Edward, disco ball vampires and all, are leaving the platform June 30th. So if you’ve never experienced the greatest supernatural soap opera of our generation, now’s your moment. You’re welcome.Then it gets juicy.Like, breakup-in-the-grocery-store-parking-lot kind of juicy. The bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is officially over. We go deep into the timeline of their relationship fallout: the ketamine-fueled key ceremony, the broken promises, the pork-filled bills, and yes—even the Epstein bombshell tweet that landed like a wet fart. I break down who said what, who tweeted when, and who’s now getting disinvited from Mar-A-Lago brunch. It’s Mean Girls 3: Billionaire Edition, and I was the first to call it (don’t let Hassan or Philip DeFranco tell you otherwise).We also ask the hard questions—like who gets custody of Joe Rogan?Speaking of Papa Joe, he’s spiraling again. Joe Rogan has entered the Boomer Fake News Pipeline™ and he’s not turning back. Whether it’s a TikTok guy in a bucket hat exposing charities or a magician mind-reading his ATM pin code, Joe is not okay. I cover the Joe vs. Jamie saga (spoiler: Jamie is in timeout) and explain why Rogan’s new favorite news anchor is just a dude with a green screen and a fishing vest. It’s dark out here, folks.We round things out with a Pride Month reality check. Corporate logos? Rainbow-less. Target’s Pride merch? Basically a flock of genderqueer ceramic birds. But hey, at least we’ve got that one video—you know the one. It’s not a true Pride Month until it’s been texted to every group chat and played on loop in the group thread.Finally, we wrap with a Real ID warning and the official Costco Dinner Hack™ tutorial. Free sushi samples = date night appetizer. Costco hotdog = main course. Childhood trauma from calling that “going out to eat”? Absolutely free.Next week, we’re back in New York with all-new backdrops. And the week after that—we’re in Mexico, baby. Villa content coming in hot with 280+ and Recap & Record in tow. It’s all happening this summer.Hit subscribe. Hit the bell. Hit play.Let’s ride.

  • Sydney Sweeney's Bath Water For SALE + Post Malone's Tour Review & Hailey Bieber is worth a Billion!

    Sydney Sweeney's Bath Water For SALE + Post Malone's Tour Review & Hailey Bieber is worth a Billion!
    May 31 2025
    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/

  • Bitcoin’s $111K Surge + Google VS OpenAi Updates + Klarna's $130,000,000 Loss, BANKRUPT! Episode 190

    Bitcoin’s $111K Surge + Google VS OpenAi Updates + Klarna's $130,000,000 Loss, BANKRUPT! Episode 190
    May 24 2025
    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?
