Post Malone, Bill Gates & The Latest Wedding Vendor Scam Going Viral | What are We Doing Podcast 221
We’re back. Episode 221 of the What Are We Doing Podcast. Took a week off. Maybe two. Hard to tell. Either way, I returned with giveaways, Pokémon cards, and a growing problem.
I open this episode admitting something out loud. I am winning giveaways at an alarming rate. Pokémon cards keep showing up at my house. Full art Mew. Grading math. Top loaders. Mail days back to back. This hobby has
crossed into addiction territory and I briefly consider starting a Pokémon podcast before immediately telling myself I need help.
From there, I completely lose my patience with Apple. iOS 26 broke my brain. I paid over $1,100 for an iPhone that was supposed to change my life with Apple Intelligence. That never showed up. Instead, I got clutter, frustration, and the strong urge to throw my phone in a river. I explain why I’m officially done with iPhones, why Android makes more sense, and why I’m pledging to escape the Apple ecosystem before the end of 2026.
Then things get messy. The Epstein files drop again. Somehow Post Malone ends up mentioned. I refuse to let that slide. I walk through why being named does not equal wrongdoing, how misinformation spreads, and why this entire rollout feels sloppy, reckless, and irresponsible. From Bill Gates emails to Trump press conferences to the internet convincing itself Epstein is still alive and gaming from Israel, I break down the chaos exactly how it deserves to be broken down.
Later in the episode, I shift into something closer to home. A wedding videographer story hits the news and it’s painful to watch. Couples without footage. Subcontractors unpaid. Excuses everywhere. I explain what most people don’t understand about wedding media businesses, how this situation likely happened, and how it could have been avoided. I give two rules every couple needs to follow before hiring any wedding vendor. No sugarcoating. No sympathy for bad contracts.
We wrap things up with a rant I’ve been holding onto. Billy McFarland is back. Again. New platform. New promises. Same energy. I walk through his latest project, why it feels like another scam dressed up with new vocabulary, and why I’m officially done giving him the benefit of the doubt. I even consider joining his platform just to outbid everyone and prove a point.
This episode is long. It’s chaotic. It’s personal. It’s exactly what this show is supposed to be.
What are we doing?
