    Logan Paul & Liquid Market Place = Crypto Scam + Nicki Minaj & TPUSA | What Are We Doing Podcast 218

    Episode 218 finds me recording the podcast home alone the day after Christmas because Megs is stuck on Long Island thanks to an ice storm, which leaves me, my dog, four vodka shots, and a microphone to unpack everything wrong with adulthood, holidays, politics, the internet, and money. I talk about why I am officially done opening gifts forever, why grown adults do not need Funko Pops or graphic tees, and why the only acceptable Christmas loopholes involve cash or household gifts Megs opens for both of us. I explain how family gatherings improve dramatically when you time edibles correctly, how the stress drops, the noise fades, and life feels manageable again. From there I break down Nicki Minaj taking a massive paycheck to headline Turning Point USA, flipping on years of public positions, praising politicians her audience opposes, ignoring the fact she cannot vote, and why the entire event felt calculated, uncomfortable, and hollow. I react to Joe Budden’s response, the internet fallout, and why this move damaged trust across culture and fandom. I then roast the AI Christmas photo trend, the sparkly romper epidemic, bad prompts, lazy re-renders, and why most people do not resemble their AI alter ego despite pretending otherwise. I shut down the viral environmental panic posts about AI destroying the planet, explain why the water usage claims are misleading, and point out industries quietly doing far more damage while everyone yells at computers. I close by breaking down Logan Paul’s Liquid Marketplace mess, the fractional ownership of the PSA 10 Pikachu Illustrator card, how money flowed in, payouts never landed, accountability disappeared, and why this situation looks like CryptoZoo with better branding and the same outcome. This episode is a full post-Christmas spiral covering family, money, internet delusion, celebrity hypocrisy, and why none of this should surprise anyone anymore.**********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.

    7 Sheetz Shirts + Melania Gets a Movie, Netflix Wants Your Podcast & Trump's Drug Reclassification

    UNDER THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS - OUT NOW: https://wawdpod.com/lights-spotifyhttps://wawdpod.com/lights-apple-----Episode 217 is here. I start this one the only responsible way. By unboxing a Sheetz package and trying on six or seven different Sheetz shirts like I am getting paid in MTO coupons. I asked for “one of each,” and Sheetz said, “Bet. Hold my street taco.” So now I own enough shirts to dress an entire grand opening line in Camp Hill.We also need to talk about the Camp Hill Sheetz grand opening chaos. Fifty to a hundred people outside. Cars wrapped around the block. Ribbon cut. Holiday vibes. My next ask is simple. Put me on the schedule as the DJ for these openings. One day. One location. I bring the energy. I bring the bits. I wear an unreasonable amount of Sheetz merch and act like a functioning adult.Then we hit the news spiral. TGI Fridays went viral because a server walked a toddler around the restaurant, and corporate rewarded her with a $500 check after flying people out to do a filmed presentation. So of course the internet did the real bonus and a GoFundMe started cooking. After that, I pitch the only gift idea men want. A Godzilla costume and a cardboard city to destroy. Also, if you want the ultimate holiday hack, give your boss a Christmas card. You want to keep your job, go write “thanks for paying me” on a $3 card and live another day.We finish strong with media and politics chaos. Netflix is still trying to collect podcasts like Infinity Stones. Melania has a movie trailer and a production company, because why not. Trump announces big moves, including marijuana rescheduling talk, and then drops the Patriot Games, aka Hunger Games: Home Edition. It’s a lot. So yes, I close the episode the same way I opened it. Confused. Laughing. Wearing a Sheetz shirt.Also, stream my Christmas song “Under the Christmas Lights” right now. Put it on repeat. You know what to do.**********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.

    Joe Rogan WILL Become A.I Jesus + The White House Takes Aim at Sabrina Carpenter | What are We Doing

    This week on the What Are We Doing podcast, I hit record after missing a week and walk straight into chaos. Holidays, weddings, jet setting, whatever. We made it. Episode 215 is here whether the world is ready or not. I start the show by giving thanks to the only man who deserves it, Joe Exotic, and hoping he gets that presidential pardon he keeps talking about. After that, the madness ramps up fast.Soulja Boy is back with another tech empire that exists only in his mind. He is now saying someone offered him one hundred million for a handheld emulator that screams AliExpress from a mile away. He also says it has sixty four gigs of RAM. It does not. I break it all down and explain why Soulja Boy, if you are reading this, call me. We would print money together.Then we look at the White House’s new marketing strategy where they steal Sabrina Carpenter songs to soundtrack ICE raid videos. Sabrina responds. The White House responds. Everyone loses. I offer the White House an easy solution. Use this podcast instead. Leave the pop stars alone. What are we doing.Next up, Epstein news. More photos. More videos. More questions. His island looks worse than my resort in Cabo. There is a dental chair. I pitch the idea of installing a dentistry at my actual resort. It makes more sense than whatever Epstein was doing.Kate Beckinsale shows up on Jimmy Kimmel with a story about her daughter’s boyfriend laying eggs. Jimmy eats it up. I try to figure out if this is proof Hollywood has fully melted or if Kate got bamboozled by the easiest prank in world history.We talk about raccoons breaking into liquor stores, getting blackout drunk, and passing out in the bathroom. I also explain that humans are accidentally domesticating raccoons because we keep telling them they are cute. At this rate, my wife is going to smuggle one home from Mexico.Then Miley Cyrus gets engaged to a drummer named Max. I salute her. I also salute her best era, the 23 era. Say what you want. That look was elite.Joe Rogan enters the chat. He is sponsored by Perplexity now. He cannot go a single conversation without Jamie or AI saving him from Facebook misinformation. He also says Jesus might return as AI. So I use ChatGPT to generate a whole sermon and explain why pastors might want to polish their resumes.Finally, we hit the gambling problem taking over America. Kaushi.com lets you bet on anything. You can bet on the second coming of Jesus. You can bet on weather. You can bet on elections. CNN is now partnered with them. This is where we are.

    Field of Screams | Abuse, Silence, and the Dark Side of Halloween

    In this special episode of the What Are We Doing Podcast, I break down one of the most unsettling stories to come out of Lancaster County in years. The name Field of Screams is known across Pennsylvania as a Halloween staple, but a recent Spotlight PA investigation exposed a much darker story behind the haunted hayrides and fake blood. What was once considered a seasonal thrill ride is now at the center of serious allegations involving years of misconduct, ignored complaints, and failures in leadership that left teenage volunteers unprotected.According to multiple reports and interviews, more than a dozen current and former volunteers described a pattern of harassment, inappropriate contact, and manipulation by adult staff and supervisors dating as far back as 2006. One of the key voices in the investigation, Danica Gabrielson, shared her experience working under then-manager Mike King, who she says crossed boundaries while she was still a minor. She describes how attention and trust turned into control and abuse of power. Other volunteers claim they went to the owners, Jim and Gene Schopf, only to see the same people remain in charge, season after season.The story doesn’t stop there. A follow-up investigation revealed that Christopher Roarball, a man previously convicted of indecent exposure, was allowed to volunteer alongside minors between 2022 and 2024. The company claimed their background checks didn’t flag his conviction because they only searched the past seven years, even though Pennsylvania law allows checks to go further. Legal experts have already said that’s not a valid excuse, and former volunteers say this proves how little oversight exists behind the scenes at the attraction. While Field of Screams continues to deny wrongdoing, insisting no criminal allegations have been filed, the evidence and firsthand accounts tell a very different story.In this episode, I go through the full timeline, the official responses, and the ongoing concerns about how these attractions are managed. The goal isn’t to sensationalize a tragedy or stir outrage, but to ask why so many people knew and did nothing. The Field of Screams brand has always been about fear for fun—but the reality here is much worse. This Halloween, before you buy a ticket or step onto that hayride, ask yourself who you’re supporting. Because the scariest part of Field of Screams isn’t inside the haunted house. It’s what’s been happening outside of it for years.**********Original SpotlightPA Article: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/06/field-of-screams-harassment-teenagers-volunteers/Haunted Attraction Let Convicted Offender Volunteer with Minors:https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/popular-pa-haunted-attraction-allowed-man-convicted-of-exposing-himself-to-children-to-volunteer-alongside/article_f7650ab3-969a-442f-b5c6-9bc20aede1d1.htmlUpper Leacock Fire Chief resigns:https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/upper-leacock-fire-chief-resigns-replacement-unclear/article_d1823938-ee06-11ee-b360-6790dab51d12.html**********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.

    Halloween Special: Ghost, Monkeys, Murder Plots & Mozzarella Sticks | What Are We Doing Podcast #212

    It’s Halloween, and I’ve officially hit rock bottom—dressed head to toe as a Chili’s mozzarella stick. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wanted to complete the costume with me. My wife said no. My dog ran away. So here I am, half a mozzarella stick, full of regret, wearing my Radical Rita shirt, still begging Chili’s to acknowledge my existence. What are we doing?This week’s episode kicks off inside the “Chili’s Mozzarella Stick Studios” where I give a full breakdown of spooky stories that somehow got real. First up, Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin finds out mid-episode that his wife was arrested for hiring a hitman to kill him. That’s right—she literally tried to turn him into one of the ghosts he’s been chasing for 46 seasons. From ghost hunting to murder-for-hire, this story has everything. Netflix true crime, prison pen pals, and a reminder to maybe double-check your spouse’s DMs.Then, we head down to Mississippi where the chaos continues. A tractor trailer overturned on I-59, releasing a pack of lab monkeys across the highway. Yes, real monkeys. The kind that make you question whether the apocalypse already started and nobody told us. Officials say they aren’t infected with anything, but if you see one in your backyard—maybe don’t try to pet it. Meanwhile, in Texas, a Spirit Halloween shopper lost control of their pet monkey inside the store. It’s diapered, it’s swinging from the rafters, it’s dodging animatronics. Folks, leave your monkeys at home.But it wouldn’t be a true Halloween episode without a trip into the darkness of global corruption. Over in the UK, Prince Andrew has officially been stripped of his royal titles after his Epstein connections resurfaced. He’s no longer a prince, no longer royal, and now going by “Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.” Imagine being demoted so hard you lose your last name. Buckingham Palace called it “necessary.” Translation: “You embarrassed us on an international level.” What are we doing?And while the world burns, our own government’s been shut down for a month. SNAP benefits are about to expire. Forty-two million Americans could lose access to food because politicians would rather argue about who gets credit than actually fix the problem. Banks are running dry, liquidity is disappearing, and nobody’s doing their job. Welcome to America, the scariest haunted house of them all.To wrap it up, we talk about Neo, the $20,000 humanoid robot from 1X that supposedly makes your life easier. Except it doesn’t. It can barely open a fridge. The company says it’s AI-powered, but the demo reveals a guy in another room wearing a VR headset controlling it manually. We’re buying expensive robots that can’t even fetch water. What are we doing?It’s chaos from top to bottom—haunted marriages, royal meltdowns, escaped monkeys, government breakdowns, and robots pretending to be smart. Happy Halloween, folks. Stay safe, tip your servers, and for the love of mozzarella sticks, hit that subscribe button before the Chili’s PR team ghosts me too.
