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. BlueChew is here to handle your “weekend performance” for five bucks shipping, and Dude Robe has you covered everywhere from your shower to your honeymoon with promo code WAWD for 20% off. Don’t be like Jessica paying full price.We also cover Trump weighing in on Cracker Barrel’s logo fiasco, Steak ‘n Shake throwing shots on Twitter, and a Stephen King book getting turned into a brutal treadmill challenge movie where you basically sign a waiver to get shot in the AMC parking lot if you fall off. What are we doing?Finally, I send out prayer hands for the impostor “What Are We Doing” podcast boys who are now recording outside like they’re camping. Sad times. We did it better, we’ll keep doing it better, and we’ll be back next week.Hit subscribe. Hit the bell. Or play it on mute while you sleep, I don’t care.

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?

Taylor Swift broke the internet on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast. She used “esoteric” while Travis was busy trying to figure out how to spell cat. Swifties ripped apart thumbnails like it was a true crime documentary, every brand on earth turned orange glitter for her, and I’m convinced she’s about to play the Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium. Yes, Levi. My name. Coincidence? Absolutely not.David Dobrik finally said the words out loud: he’s gay. Congrats, king, but if you can sit in a bathtub rubbing Corinna Kopf’s shoulders while saying you’re not attracted to her, you’re either the bravest man alive or the dumbest.We also hit on AI Pokémon documentaries that look better than half of Netflix’s library. Picture David Attenborough narrating Bulbasaur and tell me you don’t want 151 episodes of that.And then there’s Mr. Beast. Jimmy hopped on Kick with Aiden Ross and XQC, broke a world record, raised $12 million for clean water, and told Aiden to stop touching him on stream. Lesson: don’t touch Mr. Beast.Somewhere in the middle of all this I rant about Instagram being useless, why kids won’t ever have real sleepovers again, and why Dude Robe is the only robe you’ll ever need. Use code WAWD for 20% off or be like Jessica and pay full price like a clown.This one’s an hour of Taylor Swift conspiracies, YouTube drama, AI nonsense, and me yelling “what are we doing” at the state of the internet.

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:🛁 DudeRobe – 20% off with code WAWD at checkout💊 BlueChew – First month FREE at wawdpod.com/blueWe’re back to a regular posting schedule.

Episode 200: I Got Married in Mexico — and Dragged Los With MeIt finally happened. I hit 200 episodes of this podcast, and to celebrate, I said screw it — we’re not doing this one in PA. No basement setup, no guest over Zoom, no random Thursday night ramblings. We’re in MEXICO, baby. Cabo Wabo. All-inclusive resort. My wedding week. And guess who’s sitting across from me in real life for the first time in what feels like years? My dude Los.I’m literally getting married the day we recorded this, and instead of writing vows, I’m talking about Coldplay side chicks, fast food chicken wrap wars, and how to get Arby’s the respect it deserves. Priorities.We talk about everything:-Why private jets cost $30k round-trip and yes, I checked-The viral Coldplay cheating couple and why the dude quoted Fix You in his apology letter like a psychopath-If personal drama should affect your job (spoiler: we both have stories)-The Summer CEO Curse™ (someone warn Elon)-Our definitive ranking of all fast food chicken wraps (this is important, folks)-Why Taco Bell's wrap game might be better than actual chicken chains-How Megs orders food like she’s customizing a spaceship-Joe Exotic’s new doc on Amazon and why I almost had him officiate the wedding-The Epstein list (I got it… allegedly), conspiracy fatigue, and why RFK Jr. sounds like a haunted kazoo-Streaming services, dual-camera iPhones (that don’t exist), and my $25/month cable-free lifeEpisode 200 is special. It’s unfiltered, real, and somehow still funny — even while I’m sipping tequila at 10am. This show has been through a lot, and I couldn’t have made it to 200 without the people who listen, comment, share, clip, and troll me online. Thank you.Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go get married.

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.

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?

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.

What’s up, everybody? Levi here, and we’ve officially hit episode 194—nearly 200 weeks of pure chaos.

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. ..

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.

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/

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?

Head to the comments, pick a side, and help me settle this bipolar roller coaster once and for all. Stand-up tour or rooftop plunge—your call!Next, I recount my epic ant saga: the cinnamon-vinegar barrier that failed, the borax liquid traps that supposedly worked… until they were mysteriously emptied overnight. Was it an ant rescue squad hauling off their fallen comrades for a proper ant burial? A clandestine spider cleanup crew? Or did I hallucinate 30 tiny corpses after taco night? ChatGPT laid out the straightforward “ants carry the bait home” explanation, but where’s the fun in that? Join me as we dissect the “ant extraction team” conspiracy theory.From tiny invaders to the biggest diva, former President Trump is back on social media, roasting Bruce Springsteen in England and claiming responsibility for Taylor Swift’s “decline” after he tweeted “I hate Taylor Swift.” We unpack his bizarre pivot from musician-bashing to presidential-level clapbacks, and wonder: should world leaders really be ghostwriting their Twitter invective?Our boy Breezy is in a bit of a pickle across the pond—denied bail until June 13th for allegedly bashing a bottle in a London club. What does that mean for his Hershey tour dates? We lament the lost twerk sessions and speculate whether “Free Chris Brown” merch could be the next big festival fad.Airbnb’s scrambling to stay relevant by selling “Services” (think in-house chefs and yoga instructors) and “Experiences” that range from the charming (ghost tours) to the downright unsettling. Yes, I’m looking at you, “Get a Taste of Sabrina Carpenter” and “Anime Schoolgirl Twerk-Off with Megan Thee Stallion.” We fantasize about the security detail these celebs will need when they open the door to their creepiest fan ever. What are we doing?Finally, TMZ breaks the news: Justin Bieber, once a billionaire-in-waiting, is reportedly so tapped out he’s borrowing his pastor pal’s credit card just to hit the links. We trace the meltdown—from canceled world tours and massive tour-advance buybacks, to a \$200 million catalog sale—and pitch the ultimate solution: a multi-million-dollar Las Vegas Sphere residency to solve Bieber’s money woes in ten nights flat.That’s a wrap on the chaos for Episode 189. Thanks for sticking with my scattered thoughts, conspiracy theories, and late-night rants. If you’ve enjoyed the ride, drop a comment on whether I’m “hilarious” or “unfunny,” smash those buttons, and share this episode far and wide. We’ll reconvene next week—might be Friday, might be Memorial Day—and who knows what ridiculousness we’ll uncover then. Until next time, peace out and seriously, what are we doing?

This week’s episode is a gift. Literally. Like, Happy Mother’s Day. You didn’t buy her flowers (again), so give her the only thing that lasts longer than a dead tulip and costs less than a greeting card: this podcast. It’s free. It’s entertaining. It’s packed with unsolicited AI rants and raccoons with crack pipes. What else does she want?We kick things off by unveiling the ultimate gift for mom—a custom Cameo from yours truly for just $2. That’s right, two bucks. You can’t even steal gum for that anymore. But you can get a heartfelt, helium-voiced message from a man whose voice has never recovered from a childhood balloon incident.Then, we dive deep into the unholy evolution of AI—from adorable babyfied versions of podcast hosts like Theo Von and Bobby Lee, to the sexy, sentient voices of GPT that may or may not steal your man. I test ChatGPT’s limits live on-air (spoiler: she tries to convince us we’re in the Matrix and honestly? I buy it).Next up, we talk about chipping our kids. Yep. That’s where we’re at. Neuralink drops in like the world’s most controversial app update, and we ask the real questions: Are we gonna chip our children for academic success, or nah?Then, Pennsylvania almost legalized recreational marijuana—but don’t spark up just yet. The House passed the bill, but it’s heading to the Senate where dreams go to die. Still, the thought of smoother roads and a billion dollars in tax revenue almost makes you wanna run for office. Or at least move to Maryland.Speaking of dreams dying—nothing says “routine traffic stop” like a meth-smoking raccoon named Chewy sitting shotgun while his crackhead owner gets cuffed in Springfield, Ohio. This is not satire. This is real life. Chewy. The. Raccoon. Has. A. Meth. Pipe. And a backup one. We cover the whole police report like it’s TMZ for rodents.Then it’s time for some nostalgic goodness. Remember those shady late-night ringtone commercials from 2004? The ones that charged you $9.99 to hear Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy on your flip phone? We relive the glory days of prepaid Virgin Mobile plans, 15-second Lil Wayne ringtones, and the elite cultural significance of ringback tones.But it’s not all nostalgia and narcotics—we’re here to save your relationship too. That’s right. Ladies, if you want to turn your man back into the guy you fell in love with (or at least get him to stop drinking cases of beer alone), you already know the answer. PSA: Put your hand down his pants. Need help? Our friends at BlueChew got you. Promo link in the episode. Save your marriage for $5 shipping.And finally, we close on a plea: David Dobrik, bring back Liza. I don’t care what your sexuality is, just repost the OG vlogs with Helga, accents, and USPS boxes. Give the people what we want. Give us chaos. Give us love. Give us 4 minutes and 22 seconds of unhinged, golden, creator-content bliss.It’s my birthday, it’s Mother’s Day, and it’s Chewy the raccoon’s meth bender anniversary.

Huge thanks to the 2,000+ of you who clicked “subscribe,” even though 67% of you apparently still haven’t—seriously, what are we doing? Hit that button, ring the bell, and join the fam so we can analyze those new analytics together.All day every day I’m winning on Twitter. Want free stuff? Follow me: I stick to three rules—follow only the host and one other account, comment once (max one friend tag), and skip any extra hoops. That’s how I snag Sheetz snack vouchers, a holographic Articuno card, and now… a one-of-one Saul Goodman apron straight from the Breaking Bad set. He’s legit-verified, sent me a selfie request, and I’m flaunting Gustavo Fring’s apron like it’s the crown jewels. What are we doing? Follow, comment, win.The latest Internet obsession: can 100 men really take down a silverback gorilla with fists only? I dove into TikTok’s “science,” debunked the timid 50% who’d bail after the first crack, and weighed bone density vs. human stamina. Spoiler: the gorilla would mop the floor with most of us… until exhaustion levels the playing field. But is this really peak 2025 entertainment? If you’ve paused your fiancé mid-text about this debate, you’re officially part of the tribe.

Summer’s coming: get your slides, lounge shorts, and robes lined up. What are we doing? Relax in style.Wiz Khalifa AppreciationIs Wiz Khalifa top ten rapper territory? Hell yes. We revisited his mixtape days, his weed empire, and the absurdly fire “Llama Llama Red Pajama” rap challenge—where he spits a kid’s bedtime book over a beat so seamlessly it could melt your brain. If you think anyone else could nail nursery rhyme bars at 90 BPM, you’re wrong. Google the freestyle after listening, but trust me, no one drops lines like Z’s kush king. What are we doing?Magic heist or circus on a cruise ship? The trailer for Now You See Me 3 (yes, that’s the real title) just crashed into the Internet. Daniel Atlas is back with fresh Horsemen recruits, minus most of the originals (RIP Woody?), planning a grand diamond heist against a terrorist clique. It’s Fast & Furious meets card tricks—predictable twists, overstuffed CGI, and an eyeful of “diamonds are forever” cringe. November 14, 2025, get your tickets or stock up on popcorn. What are we doing?Our girl Katy blasted off with Blue Origin, then touched down to admit regret—because apparently floating 350,000 feet up isn’t as fun as it looked. She channeled that budget-Air energy into the “Lifetime’s Tour” (great name—really sells it), complete with audience-voted surprise songs via QR codes and white-girl twerking that defies anatomy. Ticket prices start at $350, so unless you want to see her wrestle aliens on wires, maybe skip this spectacle.

You’re telling me I sat at my desk, with three browser windows open, on two laptops and a phone, all with different Red Robin accounts, and I still didn’t get the $20 All-You-Can-Eat Burger Pass?! What are we doing?! Episode 186 is here, and I’m breaking down what really happened when Red Robin’s site exploded under the weight of every American chasing unlimited cheeseburgers and bottomless fries for a month. Spoiler alert: their third-party payment processor fumbled the bag HARD, and not one single soul has been confirmed to get a pass. Was it a scam? A PR stunt? Or did the intern just forget to uncheck “test mode”? We’re getting to the bottom of it.Also this week—we’re headed to SPACE. Not really. But Katy Perry did. Sort of. If going up and immediately coming back down counts as space. Apparently, it does, because now she and Gayle King are being referred to as astronauts. Yeah, let that one sink in. We’re unpacking Blue Origin’s “historic” all-female launch, Gayle clapping back at the haters, Katy Perry discovering she’s “connected to love,” and me trying to figure out why no one played her alien song during the mission. Missed opportunity.And speaking of launches... 🧨 Fyre Fest II? Canceled. Why? Because they haven’t signed my contract yet. That’s right. I’m the main act and the only reason the show’s been postponed. No green-and-purple M&Ms? No Levi. I pitch a new location for the festival (spoiler: it’s on an actual island in Pennsylvania), break down the logistics, and promise boat rides for every ticket sold. Billy McFarland, call me.We also talk about RFK Jr. opening his mouth and inserting his entire foot, claiming that autistic people will “never write a poem, go on a date, or pay taxes.” Buddy. My autistic son eats more Red Robin chicken fingers than most adults eat in a week. We break down RFK Jr.’s outdated, ableist takes and set the record straight once and for all. Autism isn’t a burden—it’s a different way of seeing the world, and that world needs to catch up.And finally, Thousand Pound Sisters is back and Tammy’s got a secret: she’s dating someone new. And spoiler... Tammy’s pansexual. Shout out to our girl for living her truth and maybe—just maybe—finding love post-Caleb. But also... if TLC doesn’t change the name of this show soon, what are we doing?⚡ Plus:--Is City Island in Harrisburg the perfect venue for Fyre Fest 2?--Intergalactic trafficking: Is Jeff Bezos sending Katy Perry to Mars?--Judge Judy is a mob boss and I won’t be told otherwise.-Dude Robe is giving YOU 20% off with code WAWD because I bullied them into it.Watch, laugh, cry, eat a burger, and then hit that subscribe button—because you, me, and this podcast... we’re going to space, baby.*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD*************************************************************

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:🔥 A satirical breakdown of Trump’s “just be cool” stock market strategy.🔥 A dramatic update on Drew Ski and Bambi’s post-Coulda Been Love beef, complete with titty-sucking accusations.🔥 Benny Blanco’s fruit snacks, his egg-themed phone case, and the poetic love confessions that made Selena Gomez weep and/or get her teeth done.This episode is an ADHD-fueled rollercoaster that proves once and for all: I’m ready for my Netflix special, a Vegas residency, or at the very least a denim bucket hat with FIRE FEST II embroidered on the front.🎤 So if you’re still listening to true crime and eating overnight oats, it might be time to switch things up. Tune in, lock in, and let’s ride.Hit the LIKE. SMASH the SUBSCRIBE. RING that bell.Because when the next episode drops, I want you to hear the notification and whisper to yourself: “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*************************************************************

Episode 184 is here, and just when I thought life couldn't get any weirder, Lumos, my dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks French Bulldog, decided to give himself a black eye. Yep, you read that right. This genius thought that slamming his face into his crate would somehow convince us to let him join playtime with the kid. Naturally, the mothers in our lives insisted on an emergency vet visit, convinced it was either a bee sting, spider bite, or imminent doggy apocalypse. Instead, I trusted my gut (and wallet), gave him some Benadryl wrapped in a cheese stick, and voila, he's alive and well. Official vet diagnosis: "Because he's an idiot." Best $45 I've ever spent.Speaking of questionable decisions, Justin Bieber's recent Instagram live appearances have the internet convinced he's spiraling into a midlife crisis at the ripe old age of millennial fatherhood. But let's be honest—smoking a little weed, eating some shrooms, and making weird music in your $30 million backyard studio sounds like peak dad life to me. His marriage drama with Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez also continues, featuring Benny Blanco in a love quadrangle nobody asked for but everyone's obsessed with. We've even got exclusive (totally real, definitely not fake) leaked Bieber tracks dissing Benny and lamenting his Selena drama. You heard it here first, folks!Meanwhile, Donald Trump's tariffs have done the impossible: they've delayed the Nintendo Switch 2 preorders indefinitely. Thanks, Trump—guess my dreams of overpriced Mario Kart have to wait. Oh, and prices at the grocery store? Skyrocketing. But don't worry, Trump assures us everything is "booming"—the markets, the economy, your crippling anxiety about grocery bills—everything's just fine.Disney's Snow White remake is also still a disaster, and the only obvious solution to save the film is casting Sydney Sweeney as Snow White. It’s a guaranteed billion-dollar box office hit—cover up the jubilee jubilees and slap a PG rating on it. Problem solved. And for those keeping track, Russell Brand is back in headlines for all the wrong reasons, with satire becoming indistinguishable from reality.Finally, the Barney reboot saga continues to perplex me, with the new, creepy, Ozempic Barney sharing shelf space with old Barney toys at Walmart. Someone explain the multiverse situation here, because I’m losing sleep over this purple dinosaur conspiracy.Don't forget to subscribe, like, share, and engage. Or don't, but honestly, you should—it's the patriotic thing to do. What are we doing? Exactly.*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD***********************************************************************Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.We must also emphasize that the information contained in this video has been produced with no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability, completeness, legality, or usefulness of what is said or expressed.
