Hey, it’s Levi, your favorite podcast host back at it again with another episode of "What Are We Doing?" And let me tell you, this one’s a doozy. So, picture this: Theo Von, the stand-up comedian who can turn any conversation into a circus, somehow ended up interviewing none other than Donald Trump. Yeah, that Donald Trump. The two of them sat down at Trump’s golf club in New Jersey—because where else would you have a casual chat about addiction and the 2024 election?

In what can only be described as a surreal mix of reality TV and a fever dream, Trump decided to ask Theo about his history with cocaine and alcohol. Because when you’re the former leader of the free world, that’s the natural direction for a conversation to take, right? Anyway, Trump, who’s apparently never touched a drop of alcohol or a single cigarette in his life (make of that what you will), shared a bit about his older brother, Fred Trump Jr., who struggled with alcoholism and passed away in 1981. Trump’s life advice? "No drugs, no drinking, no cigarettes." And if you’re thinking that sounds like a recipe for a very dull Saturday night, well, I’m with you.

Theo, being Theo, didn’t shy away from the topic and laid it all out there—he’s in recovery from drug and alcohol use. And of course, Trump, with his trademark subtlety, asked Theo if cocaine is a "stronger up" than alcohol. You can’t make this stuff up. Theo’s response? "Cocaine will turn you into a damn owl, homie, you know what I’m saying? You’ll be out on your own porch, you’ll be your own streetlamp." And honestly, I don’t know if I’m more impressed with the description or concerned that it’s probably accurate.

But the episode wasn’t just about who’s been on what substance. Trump, never one to miss an opportunity to talk politics, dove into a whole range of topics, from healthcare to the 2024 election, and of course, threw in a few jabs at Biden and Kamala Harris. Speaking of Harris, she’s been on a bit of a tear lately, and it’s got the Trump camp shaking in their boots. After her speech at the Democratic National Convention, it’s looking like she might just be the candidate of change that voters are craving—or at least that’s what the headlines are saying. Is Trump worried? Probably. Should he be? That’s for you to decide.

And just when you thought this episode couldn’t get any weirder, Chick-Fil-A decided they wanted a piece of the entertainment pie. Yep, the chicken sandwich empire is launching its own streaming platform. Because when you think "entertainment," naturally your mind goes straight to fast food, right? They’re cooking up (pun intended) some family-friendly content, including a game show, because who doesn’t want to watch contestants try to win prizes while craving waffle fries?

So, there you have it. We’ve got Trump, Theo Von, cocaine stories, and Chick-Fil-A’s Hollywood ambitions all wrapped up in one wild episode. If you’re here for the laughs, the political hot takes, or just to see how absurd things can get, you’re in the right place. Buckle up, because this episode is one crazy ride. Let’s get into it!
