Welcome to episode 160 of the What Are We Doing podcast, where we dive into this week’s dumpster fire of news that’s almost too ridiculous to believe. So, what’s the hottest duo in town right now? No, not Kanye and his latest wife. We’re talking about Sean Diddy Combs and Sam Bankman-Fried, shacked up together in the luxurious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Yep, Diddy’s in there on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, denied bail not once, but twice—because, I guess, they just couldn’t risk him starting another bad boy reunion tour from behind bars. Meanwhile, Sam’s probably showing him how to trade prison food for crypto, and Diddy’s making plans for the hottest new jailhouse mixtape. What are we doing?

Then we shift gears to everyone's favorite former president turned late-night infomercial king, Donald Trump, who’s apparently decided that being a GOP nominee just isn’t enough. He’s out here selling Trump Watches—because why not throw down $100K on a timepiece with his mug on it? And oh yeah, don’t forget the Trump Coins. Perfect for when you want to pay your mortgage in pure patriotism. We’re living in a world where a guy facing multiple indictments is out here launching a new cryptocurrency and pushing luxury merch like it’s QVC on steroids. What are we doing?

Oh, and Apple dropped the iPhone 16 this year—big whoop. It’s got a new camera button, a slightly faster chip, and a whole lot of promises about this thing called Apple Intelligence. Spoiler alert: it’s not ready yet. So if you just dropped a grand on the newest iPhone hoping for an AI assistant that’s actually useful, congratulations—you’ve been bamboozled. But hey, at least you’ve got the same crappy Siri from your iPhone 12 on a shinier screen! What are we doing?

So grab your overpriced Trump watch, your soon-to-be-worthless Trump Coin, and your half-baked iPhone 16, and let’s figure out together what in the actual hell is going on. This is episode 160, baby. Let’s do this.
