The Daily Whatever Show, Oct 9: Besties Day!

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/10/09

This morning’s show hit like a therapy session for the overworked, under-slept, and existentially employed. Dana DuBois joined me live from “war-torn” Portland, Oregon—a city, as she quickly confirmed, not actually on fire, despite the fever dreams of right-wing media. She was bleary but brilliant, balancing mom duties, hotel Wi-Fi, and the kind of dry humor that makes even late-capitalist despair feel oddly comforting.We started light, riffing on Portland’s alleged chaos (spoiler: the barista

2025/10/08

Halloween season officially continues on The Daily Whatever Show with special guest Ben Ulansey , the sharp, funny, and deeply thoughtful writer behind The Gen Z Report. Ben joined me, Lawrence Winnerman and Dana DuBois to talk about the films, freakouts, and real-world horrors shaping this year’s spooky season — and somehow managed to make an accidental coffee-centipede incident the perfect metaphor for modern America.Ben opened with his “morning horror” — discovering a full thousand-legger in his

2025/10/08

If there’s one thing we love on The Daily Whatever Show, it’s a returning guest who feels like home—and Liz LaPoint of GenExcellent brought exactly that energy in her triumphant return this week.From the jump, Liz reminded us why she’s a favorite in our little Gen X universe: she’s smart, grounded, funny, and deeply thoughtful about what makes our generation tick. Her Substack, GenExcellent, is part pop-culture anthropology, part therapy session, and part love letter to the latchkey kids who somehow

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/10/06

What happens when Gen X snark meets Gen Z sincerity? Magic — and a few light existential crises. On today’s episode of The Daily Whatever Show, Dana and I welcomed the brilliant and wickedly funny Femcel, whose Substack essays have been quietly (and rightfully) lighting up the internet with their sharp takes on culture, sex, and literature. This was her first live appearance anywhere — and she handled it like a seasoned pro, proving why the kids are alright and possibly better than we were at that

Greetings from Atlantis

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/10/06

My appearance on today’s Peter & Philip Show was a masterclass in chaos, existential humor, and deeply unserious journalism — a three-way collision between British befuddlement, sarcasm, and whatever dimension I claim to live in (“Atlantean Sidereal Time,” apparently).The episode opened with my journey “from the wilds of my bedroom to my office,” a heroic trek of nearly five feet, undertaken in the name of art and the Oxford comma. From there, things only got weirder. We explored the metaphysical

2025/10/04

If you ever thought horror was just about jump scares, fake blood, and final girls running through fog, Amie Simon is here to lovingly prove you wrong — and maybe hand you a curated watchlist that will ruin your sleep (in the best possible way).Amie, creator of I Love Splatter, joined us to usher in spooky season with her encyclopedic knowledge of all things horror — from feminist revenge flicks to the therapeutic side of getting scared on purpose. Raised on Vincent Price classics and Elvira late

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/10/04

This week on The Daily Whatever Show, Fucked Up Friday was one for the books, because we finally got to welcome the brilliant and endlessly entertaining Marlon Weems. Former Wall Street trading desk boss, finance entrepreneur, and now the sharp voice behind The Journeyman. on Substack, Marlon brought his trademark mix of wisdom, wit, and “bottom line: we’re fucked” honesty.As always, Fucked Up Friday means three deranged news stories go head-to-head, and the audience decides which one is the most

The Daily Whatever, Oct 2: GenX Crisis with Rob Guess

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/10/04

This morning’s show started in classic Whatever fashion: tech glitches, saucy t-shirts, and Kira begging for dog treats before the heavy stuff rolled in. Then we welcomed back our friend Gen-X Crisis with Robert Guess. Rob’s podcast work is the carefully crafted counterpoint to our six-days-a-week chaos, a beautifully edited archive of GenX voices in midlife, reflecting on how we got here and where we go next. Today we dove into that tension together: the difference between crisis and opportunity,

The Daily Whatever, Oct 1: On Atonement

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/10/01

Sometimes the best shows are the ones where it’s just me and Dana DuBois catching up, no guests, no big agenda—just the two of us and our audience. Today had that vibe: loose, funny, occasionally blasphemous, and, yes, punctuated by Kira the dog demanding treats on cue.We opened with Dana modeling her brand-new “Feminist Killjoy” tee from alpacalunch, complete with strategically placed daisies and a whole discussion about thirst traps, tyranny, and the inevitable next t-shirt slogan: Tits Against

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/30

Viv, known to Substack readers as MUTHR, FCKD lit up today’s show with her wit, irreverence, and sharp cultural lens. From the moment she joined us, she radiated that mix of audacity and warmth that makes her writing so addictive. What struck me most was her ability to cut through bullshit with humor while still keeping things deeply human.Viv walked us through her journey as a veteran entertainment and culture writer, reminding us that she’s been shaping conversations in Vanity Fair, The Cut, Dame,

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/29

Walter Rhein joined me and Dana DuBois on The Daily Whatever Show to talk about the Overton Window, and what followed was one of the sharpest, most unsettling conversations we’ve had in a while. His essay and illustrations set the stage: the Overton Window is the narrow band of what society deems “acceptable” to discuss. Everything outside of it? Branded extreme, fringe, or unthinkable.Walter laid out how this frame has been dragged to the right for decades. Militarized crackdowns in Portland,

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/09/27

Some conversations on The Daily Whatever Show land right in the middle of the cultural storm. Today’s show with Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq. from the The Conscientious Emigrant by Conscientious Emigration™ did exactly that. Just as the news broke that Trump was sending troops into Portland, we found ourselves talking with someone who has built her life and work around a profound question: when do you decide it’s time to leave the United States?Elizabeth is the founder of Conscientious Emigration,

2025/09/26

Some days on The Daily Whatever Show feel important. Today felt historic. Dana DuBois and I had the honor—and I do mean honor—of sitting down with Karen Attiah, one of the most vital voices in journalism today. She is a truth-teller, a builder, a fighter, and—after the year she’s had—still somehow radiates resilience, clarity, and grace.We opened by grounding our audience in Karen’s extraordinary path: from her Fulbright in Ghana to Columbia, from the Associated Press to her decade-plus at the

Note: Please join us for The Daily Whatever Show tomorrow as we welcome the incredible Karen Attiah to the show to talk about citizen journalism.Today’s The Daily Whatever Show was a love letter to fierce, thoughtful women navigating the wild ride of parenting teens in late-stage America. Dana DuBois kicked things off with her matchmaking skills—because why stop at introducing one smart, fiery woman to the conversation when you can have three? So in came Ally Hamilton and Melissa Corrigan, she/her,

2025/09/24

On today’s episode, we dove headfirst into the kind of conversation most people only whisper about — but should be shouting from the rooftops: middle-aged women, post-menopause, and the unapologetic joy of sex. Our guest, Dr. Amber Hull , is a straight-talking, science-grounded, joy-forward sex educator who makes you feel like you’ve just pulled up a chair at the smartest, sex-positive book club in town.Dana took the lead in this one, steering us into terrain that was both deeply personal and

Today’s show was a rollercoaster with extra loop-de-loops. We started with the kind of news that makes you spit out your coffee: Karen Attiah—yes, that Karen Attiah, award-winning former Washington Post editor, global opinion founder, Jamal Khashoggi’s editor, social justice badass, and all-around force of nature—is coming on the show Friday. Dana shot her shot, slid into her DMs, and boom, we booked one of the biggest voices in modern journalism. Sometimes audacity pays off. (Take note, friends:
