The Daily Whatever Show, Dec 2: Besties Day!

2025/12/05

Today’s Bestie Day opened on a somber note. Before we said anything else, Lawrence shared the update none of us wanted but all of us needed to hear: his mom was heading to surgery for her cancer soon. The fear, the love, the exhaustion — all of it was right there in his voice.The chat rallied immediately, wrapping him in the softest kind of support: shared stories, prayers, holding space. AMelissa Corrigan, she/her told us she’d lit a Dolly Parton candle for Lawrence’s mom — the kind of small,

2025/11/28

We opened today’s The Daily Whatever Show with some pre-Thanksgiving banter (and Dana DuBois channeling her recurring “old smoker barfly” voice), plus a quick chat about Dana’s new essay When Thanksgiving Isn’t Safe for Your Trans or Nonbinary Child, delving into issues around family, pronouns, and why 2025 feels very different from pre-Trump-2.0 days. After that, we pulled in our guest Dash from The Halfway Cafe, who arrived fresh off hitting #2 on Substack’s Rising list, which gave us the perfect

This show was pure electricity — the kind where the guest arrives mid-chaos, mid-tech-glitch, mid-greenroom confusion, and still manages to set the universe on fire within three minutes of speaking. That is, in short, Mona Das.Lawrence Winnerman and I opened by letting everyone witness the sausage-making: Mona briefly appeared on screen by accident, declared “I need to switch to my iPad,” and vanished again like a glamorous political sorceress. Five minutes later, she made her official grand

2025/11/22

Today’s Fucked-Up Friday episode delivered exactly the blend of outrage, catharsis, and chaotic laughter the title promises — thanks in huge part to our guest, writer and community-builder Walter Rhein, who jumped in last-minute and absolutely owned the show from the opening seconds.We kicked things off with Walter’s daughter’s adorable caricatures of us — including Lawrence’s now-iconic “eye smile,” which Walter insists cannot be faked. Then we slid straight into Substack shop talk: authenticity,

Today Lawrence Winnerman and I got to welcome someone who has been a pillar of our little Whatever community from the very beginning: Polly Walker Blakemore.We started in the usual chaos — still riding the high of going quad-platform (Substack! YouTube! Facebook! Instagram… kind of!) — and me recovering from hosting a full-scale teenage soup party in my tiny house. Then Polly joined us and opened up about her mental health challenges, and her rewarding life of volunteerism.Polly’s the kind of person

The Daily Whatever ·

2025/11/16

Today’s episode hit me harder than most. I came in tired — the kind of tired that comes from juggling late-stage capitalism, Substack life, and a multi-hyphenate existence where the eggs are cracked but the omelet is nowhere in sight. And then there was that New York Times article. The one asking — with a straight face — whether women are “ruining the workplace.”It gutted Dana DuBois. And honestly, it punched me in the stomach too. We both felt that familiar mix of exhaustion, disbelief, and “is

2025/11/16

Today’s Fucked Up Friday on The Daily Whatever Show brought the chaos, the catharsis, and a whole lot of righteous fury — with Dana DuBois hosting, and Melissa Corrigan, she/her and Nick Paro stepping in for me while I was off on a “secret stealth spy mission.” Both of them showed up fully loaded and absolutely delivered.The episode started with a whirlwind recap of the week’s political sewage: the Republican scramble over the Epstein files, Mike Johnson’s panic-fueled strategy pivots, the GOP’s

2025/11/16

Today’s episode of The Daily Whatever Show hit differently. Maybe because Dana DuBois and I both grew up in the era when your hometown newspaper was as essential as your morning cereal. Maybe because our guest, the extraordinary Untrickled by Michelle Teheux , brought the kind of clarity, integrity, and lived expertise that makes you realize how much we’ve lost—and how much it matters.Michelle spent more than three decades in local journalism, rising to become editor of her small-town daily paper

This morning’s The Daily Whatever Show was equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and righteously pissed off — which is to say, a typical Wednesday.Lawrence Winnerman joined me live from Seattle (yes, he’s here this week!!), and we kicked things off catching up on jet lag, sleep deprivation, and my ongoing campaign to make lentil curry a political act. Then we dove straight into the good stuff: our guest, Nick Paro — writer, veteran, and co-founder of Banner and Backbone, a civic advocacy platform that’s

2025/11/11

Today’s show was a full ninety minutes, an emotional marathon that swung from personal transformation to political courage, from quitting cigarettes to fighting hunger.We started with frustration. Another morning, another Democratic cave-in to Trump’s hostage politics. Lawrence Winnerman and I vented (loudly) about the collapse of strategy into surrender — how our party keeps defending procedure while the other side burns down the process. “This isn’t chess,” I said. “It’s a hostage

Today’s show was supposed to feature Tara Dublin, and we were SO excited to meet her and learn more about both her activism work in Portland and her creative writing work as a novelist. But in classic “I’m fine, everything’s fine” fashion, I gave her the wrong time zone when I sent the start time. So we’re gonna reschedule Tara’s appearance—hopefully for very soon!Instead, today was just me and Lawrence Winnerman — two slightly disgruntled best friends winging it through a Saturday morning that was

2025/11/06

Today’s show with Ellie Leonard felt like a collision of worlds — punk rock meets political realism, investigative spreadsheets meets motherhood, fury meets focus. Ellie, a Substack writer and self-described “railroad family mom,” has quickly become one of the most indispensable voices tracking everything from Project 2025 to the Epstein–J.P. Morgan document dump, translating corporate legalese into something the rest of us can actually understand.I told her on air that “transcriptionist” doesn’t
