The Flood with Doc & Ziggy

This week on The Flood, Doc and Ziggy slice into “Devil’s Pie” — a week full of temptation, hypocrisy, and culture melting under its own heat. From Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl backlash to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl announcement, from inflatable frog protests in Portland to billionaires literally waging a poop war, everyone’s fighting for their piece. We talk about The Onion’s new mockumentary Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile, Nicki Minaj allegedly quitting music and blaming Jay-Z, and the leaked Young Republican group chat that confirms what everyone already suspected. Plus: MTV kills off its music channels for good, DirecTV puts your face in commercials, and the Pentagon has some new rules for the press. It’s all sin, spectacle, and self-promotion — served hot, messy, and algorithm-approved. _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com.

This week, Doc and Ziggy trace the blurred line between art, scandal, and survival in the modern circus we call America. From Jimmy Kimmel’s FCC feud and overnight reinstatement to the viral meltdown over Charlie Kirk firings, the culture war is back on primetime. We break down why blue states keep topping the “quality of life” charts, why half the jobs online don’t exist, and why a Saudi comedy festival feels like satire writing itself. Plus: Doja Cat’s “Gorgeous” video, vaporwave nostalgia, and the One Battle After Another box-office surprise. Somewhere between heaven’s socialist paradise and Elon’s name in the wrong files, we try to make sense of the noise. _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com.

This week on The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, we dive into chaos from every corner of culture and politics. From Young Thug nostalgia and T-Pain’s legacy, to Clipse making history at the Vatican, to Drake throwing shade at DeMar DeRozan, the rap world is buzzing. Meanwhile, Kanye’s lawsuits, Cardi B’s pregnancy news, and streaming services you’ve never heard of keep the headlines moving. We break down the Charlie Kirk assassination, why the video got banned on social media, and what it reveals about purity tests in modern debates. On the entertainment front, SNL returns, The Smashing Machine earns massive praise, and Demon Slayer: Infinite Castle smashes box office records. Plus: Fran Drescher’s SAG-AFTRA exit, inflation creeping back, and whether Ziggy is really going to eat. _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com.

This week on The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, the boys dive deep into the chaos of September 2025. From anime weddings and mariachi band restraining orders to Trump’s National Guard drama and the latest round of Epstein lore. We break down the comedy civil war (Rogan cult, Colbert cancelled), ask if America’s facing “the great shrinkage,” and read an email that finally settles the question: did anyone actually do Dicks Out for Harambe? Plus — Young Thug’s crash out, Drake’s confusing album rollout, digital decay, Zuckerberg claiming the end of smartphones, Cardi B’s lawsuit, and why Gen Z is ditching dating apps for in-office mingling. It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s America in 2025. _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com. You can follow Doc, Ziggy, and the pod on Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, & Instagram.

Ziggy’s back on his bullshit playing Magic again, but that’s just the warm-up. In this episode of The Flood, we unpack Epstein’s birthday letter (yup), a sketchy tea app hack, and Donald moving nuclear submarines like it’s Risk night at Mar-a-Lago. We roast the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, question whether AI is leaking our private convos, and mourn the loss of OpenAI’s “chat to search engine” pipeline (RIP to accidental oversharing). Plus: a Daisies by Justin Bieber rabbit hole no one saw coming, and a look back at his chaotic career arc. Doc’s skeptical. Ziggy’s spiraling. The machines are listening.

This week on The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, we dive headfirst into the cultural storm: The Clipse drop bombs with "Chains & Whips" featuring Kendrick Lamar. Is hip-hop’s old guard is taking the reins again? We get into the Diddy trial fallout, Grok’s fascist rebrand, and the ICE pizza box ad you have to see to believe. Plus: Texas floods, the “King of the Hill” revival, Jurassic Park & Superman hot takes, and a breakdown of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed Congress. Somewhere in there, ICE agents are miserable, and we find time to ask—who’s really winning 2025? _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com.

In this episode of The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, we spiral through the culture vortex: from Sabrina Carpenter’s Madonna comparisons and album cover controversy to the ever-growing conservative wave influencing Gen Z and Gen Alpha. What simple object could you take away that destroys human society? We dive into the political confusion surrounding Zohran Mamdani’s New York ranked choice voting win, debate the role of celebrity activism, and question whether luxury branding has finally collapsed under its own weight. Also on deck: aliens, plain packaging, Squid Game backlash, Iran misinformation, and T-Pain’s unsolicited advice to Drake. Is the backlash to new music just fear of change? Are opulent brands the new villains? Should Ziggy become a vampire? We don’t promise answers—but we do promise chaos. _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com.

We kick things off with Tyrese Halliburton's game-winner — not just clutch, but character-defining. The voice, the confidence, the strategy — we break down why he's one of the most interesting players in the league right now. That takes us into a conversation about King of the Hill’s return, what it means without voices like Jonathan Joss, and whether reboots ever really honor what made the original matter. Lil Wayne’s Carter Six sparks a broader conversation about post-hype fatigue in rap. Kendrick dropped GNX and cleared the air, but too many albums since feel like reruns. We talk about what’s missing, what we’re still looking for, and why so much music right now feels like brand management instead of art. Then things take a turn: Sydney Sweeney’s bathwater soap collab, the Galactus popcorn bucket, Tony Hawk’s blood board — celebrity merch has officially become satire. We break down why this isn’t just weird, it’s lazy, and why buying it is a “soft move.” From there, we get into the real economy — not the one on paper. Depression rates by industry. The stigma in blue-collar jobs. High suicide rates in low-reporting fields. Mental health isn’t just a talking point; it’s a workplace issue. That opens the door to OnlyFans, where creators like Sophie Reign make millions while young girls are being told this is the dream. We question what that dream actually costs — and who’s paying. Klarna’s bleeding money, influencers are struggling to survive, and our generation is taking on debt just to keep the lights on. We get into personal stories, dumb purchases, budgeting hacks, and the thin line between survival and branding. Then it’s LA protests, media spin, homelessness myths, and the way political narratives get weaponized by the same people breaking the system. Trump, Biden, Rogan — no one’s off limits, and we don’t pull punches. Finally, we close on tech and war. Ukraine’s drone strategy, America’s unpreparedness, and why no one wants to admit how fast things are changing. Then we pivot to gaming: Switch 2, the new Xbox handhelds, and whether Sony even remembers the PSP happened.   00:00:00 - Tyrese Halliburton's Game-Winning Moments 00:02:37 - Minimum Time for Buzzer Beaters 00:06:29 - King of the Hill and Music News 00:09:00 - Lil Wayne's Midlife Crisis? 00:14:52 - Daredevil vs Captain America Showdown 00:17:41 - Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater Soap Controversy 00:31:04 - Depression and Suicide Rates in Industries 00:35:44 - High-Paying Low-Stress Jobs Overview 00:41:56 - Challenges of Being an OnlyFans Creator 00:48:35 - Financial Struggles and Influencer Culture 01:08:54 - Importance of Soap and Hygiene 01:12:14 - LA Riots and Media Narratives 01:23:11 - Criticism of Influencers and Politics 01:27:01 - Political Commentary and Current Events 01:29:58 - Ukraine's Innovative Drone Strategy 01:36:53 - Political Landscape and Historical Parallels 01:42:29 - 2020 Election Controversies and Nintendo Switch 2 01:49:34 - Xbox's New Handheld: A Bold Move 01:57:03 - PSP's Unique Features and Potential _________ Any questions or topics, email us! thefloodpod@gmail.com.
