Here we go with Episode 165 – packed tighter than a Costco on a Saturday. First up, Joe Rogan’s playing the unexpected comedy advisor. He warned his buddy Tony Hinchcliffe not to use a Puerto Rico joke at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. But Tony, being Tony, went rogue, comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage” – and let’s just say, the crowd’s reaction was... mixed. Both Republicans and Democrats were quick to critique, but Rogan claims, “it kills in clubs,” while hinting Tony might “get stabbed” for it one day. Classic Rogan. And his verdict? The controversy will “blow over” – but will it really? Time will tell.

Then there’s Jimmy Fallon, who managed to go viral himself, but for all the wrong reasons. He brought on the Costco Guys – TikTok stars AJ, Big Justice, and the young Rizzler – to break down their “Boom meter.” But things got awkward fast. As they geared up to shout a chorus of “five booms,” Fallon interrupted, essentially shutting down their joy faster than you can say “low energy.” Viewers noticed Jimmy’s barely concealed contempt and roasted him for not appreciating the “whimsy” of the trio. It’s safe to say Fallon’s audience loves the Costco Guys a lot more than he does.

And finally, we’ve got a wildcard: breakdancer Raygun. After her Olympic debut went viral (and not in the way she’d hoped), Raygun’s back with the #RaygunChallenge, inviting everyone to “out-dance” her for cash. Critics are tearing her apart, labeling her moves as “cringe” and “very basic street dancing,” but hey, she’s still laughing all the way to the bank with that sponsorship deal. This episode unpacks the debate – is she milking her fame, or just proving that any publicity is good publicity?

So, get ready as we dive into comedy blunders, TikTok tension, and Olympic-level facepalms. It’s all here, raw and unfiltered, on Episode 165 of What Are We Doing. This week’s all about the fine line between internet gold and absolute disaster. Buckle up – it’s gonna be a wild one!
