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!

Let’s kick things off with the internet's latest bizarre twist: Donald Trump accepting Taylor Swift’s non-existent endorsement for his presidential campaign. Yes, you heard that right. In true Trump fashion, he took to Truth Social to “accept” Swift’s endorsement, despite the fact that it never happened. The cherry on top? The images he posted are blatantly AI-generated. I mean, come on, Trump, you really think Swifties are jumping on the MAGA train after an ISIS plot was thwarted at one of her concerts? It’s the kind of satire that writes itself, and yet, here we are, living it. Now, this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill internet trolling. It’s a glimpse into how AI can fuel misinformation at breakneck speed. With the release of Elon Musk’s unhinged AI model, the internet is now a playground for deepfakes, and Trump just couldn’t resist joining in on the fun. But let’s be real, Taylor Swift endorsing Trump? That’s as likely as me giving up podcasting to go back to trade school (we’ll get to that in a bit). Speaking of satire, let’s talk about my latest YouTube commenter who goes by the name FBGM Road Runner 456. This guy decided to grace my channel with his wisdom, telling me to “go to trade school” and calling my pop culture takes irrelevant. Two clown emojis and a poorly thought-out argument later, I found myself in a back-and-forth that could only be described as pure comedy gold. You see, this is what I love about the internet—everyone thinks they’re an expert. But what FBGM doesn’t know is that I already went to trade school. Graduated in 2010, thank you very much! But instead of working with my hands, I’m out here podcasting from my (fake) penthouse, living my best life, and getting my student loans forgiven. And no, I’m not lying about the helicopter rides to NYC. If you’ve got something to say, say it, but just know I’m zooming past you at 5,000 feet. Now, back to the AI chaos. The fact that anyone can create and share these AI-generated images is both hilarious and terrifying. We’ve got Trump as Uncle Sam, Swifties in MAGA hats, and even Zaddy Trump wielding an AR-15 on a plane (seriously, what are we doing?). The lack of restrictions on these models is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s a playground for satire and absurdity. On the other, it’s a breeding ground for misinformation that could have real-world consequences. But here’s the kicker—Trump genuinely seems to believe in the power of these fake endorsements. It’s like we’ve entered a parallel universe where facts are irrelevant, and the only thing that matters is what you can convince people to believe. And while it’s easy to laugh at the absurdity of it all, it also serves as a stark reminder of the power and potential danger of AI in shaping public perception. Shifting gears a bit, let’s talk about Philip DeFranco. I’ve been a fan of Phil for over 15 years, but lately, things have taken a turn. The once-vibrant and dynamic show that I grew up watching has transformed into something...well, a bit sad. Phil’s moved from a slick studio to what looks like a spare bedroom, and his latest merch drop? Blank t-shirts, folks. BLANK. And he’s asking us to tip him on top of it. Phil, what are we doing? It’s a stark contrast from the days of SourceFed and the glory of the early 2010s. Now, it seems like the quality has dipped, and the content feels more like a cash grab than the passionate, informative show it once was. And don’t get me started on the tipping culture rant. Phil’s been railing against the explosion of tipping for years, and yet here he is, asking for tips on his merch site. It’s the kind of hypocrisy that makes you question everything.
