No guest today, as our scheduled guest—everyone’s favorite Epstein investigative journalist Ellie Leonard—had a last-minute kid soccer game scheduling snafu (parenting > podcasting). So it was just and me and honestly? It was kind of perfect to enjoy a meandering hour chatting up my BFF Lawrence Winnerman. After swapping soggy Halloween stories — yes, it rained in Seattle, shocking — I wished Lawrence “Rabbit Rabbit” for good luck on the first of the month and he thought I was making it up? Luckily

On today’s spooky Halloween edition of The Daily Whatever Show, Lawrence Winnerman and I welcomed back our friend Marlon Weems, the brilliant mind behind The Journeyman, for a Halloween-day edition of Fucked-up Friday. And wow, the world delivered plenty of material. As ever,Things got serious fast as we dug into the rollback of SNAP benefits — a gut-punch that begins tomorrow. I pointed out the cruelty of Americans parroting “just get jobs” while nearly half of SNAP recipients are children, and

Today’s episode of The Daily Whatever Show hit deep. Dana DuBois is off on assignment somewhere top secret, so it was just me and the incomparable Marlon Weems —author, financial analyst, and one of the sharpest minds out there when it comes to connecting race, history, and economics. Together, we took on a topic most politicians won’t touch: reparations—what they mean, why they matter, and why now is exactly the time to talk about them.Marlon started by laying out a truth most Americans never

Today on The Daily Whatever Show, we were joined by comedian, writer, and unapologetic music nerd Christian Finnegan, who somehow manages to be both self-deprecating and deeply wise about what it means to age with your ears (and sense of humor) intact. We brought the vintage tees, he brought the good taste.You may know Christian from Chappelle’s Show, Best Week Ever, or Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn — basically, the Gen-X media starter pack. But these days he’s the creator of one of our favorite

Today’s episode of The Daily Whatever Show hit that rare sweet spot where history, politics, and real talk converged—and it was thanks to our guest, Tony Michaels, the host of The Tony Michaels Podcast, and one of the sharpest political commentators on Substack and YouTube. Tony has been called the “Rush Limbaugh of the Left,” and while that’s a bold comparison, we get it now—because what Tony brings to the table isn’t just righteous fire, it’s clarity, depth, and a whole new framework for thinking

This week’s Fucked Up Friday on The Daily Whatever Show was one for the ages — or maybe for the end times. Dana DuBois and I were joined by the incomparable Zuri Stevens, author of We Need A Black Woman In Charge on Substack, who absolutely lit up the show with her intellect, wit, and deep moral clarity. Zuri didn’t just come to talk—she came to teach, and we were there for every word.Zuri started by grounding us in history and humanity. Her recent piece about Trump’s destruction of the White House

There are days when we log off The Daily Whatever Show feeling fired up—and then there are days like this one, when we feel both furious and profoundly hopeful. That’s what happens when you spend an hour with Melissa Corrigan, she/her, one of the most fearless investigative journalists we know. Melissa is based in Norfolk, Virginia, and she’s been doing deep, meticulous work on two stories that should have every one of us sitting up straight: the Letitia James case and the spread of Flock camera

On today’s The Daily Whatever Show, we celebrated No Kings Day with a guest who fits the moment perfectly — Rick Herbst, founder of Adverse Action Daily.Rick’s background spans tech, corporate leadership, and a long-running curiosity about how power operates. His publication borrows its name from a legal term, but he’s redefined it as a philosophy: finding smart, peaceful ways to push back when the system feels rigged. In Rick’s world, adverse action is what happens when ordinary people learn to use

This week on The Daily Whatever Show, Dana DuBois and I were joined by our friend and resident fire-breather, The Opinionated Ogre , for another round of Fucked Up Friday—our sacred weekly ritual where we gather the worst stories in America and try to decide which one broke the last tiny piece of our collective sanity. Spoiler alert: we’re all losers, because we all have to live in this dystopia.We started with the Young Republicans texting scandal—a thread of racist, homophobic, and outright Nazi

Sometimes the universe throws a little chaos your way just to make sure you’re paying attention. That’s how The Daily Whatever Show this morning with Dr. Amber Hull began—technical gremlins, a brief glitch in the matrix, and then suddenly we were live again, our audience flooding back in. And honestly, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Because Dana DuBois and I agree—if you’re going to talk about presence, pleasure, and curiosity, who better to lead that conversation than Dr. Hull?Dr. Hull is one

Some mornings just start with a vibe—and today’s was pure chaos meets wisdom. Dana DuBois and I opened The Daily Whatever Show laughing about my cat Ripley’s 10th birthday (she’s a literal daemon, His Dark Materials-style, claws and all). From there we jumped straight into a day that felt equal parts heartfelt and hilarious, with advice, embarrassing stories, and a few philosophical detours through love, grief, and toilet paper theft.We started with stories of famous-people fumbles—my awkward “Hi,

We started Tuesday with a bang—or maybe a nervous laugh. Dana DuBois and I were both feeling that weird mix of existential dread and gallows humor that defines being alive in 2025. It’s the kind of morning where you joke about “a day that will live in infamy” and then realize… yeah, that might actually happen. But the caffeine was strong, the chat was lively, and Tycho the cat was already stealing the show, so off we went.Our guest today was the incomparable Frederic Poag, fresh off his new morning

Today’s show was one of those rare mornings where conversation, connection, and clarity all lined up. Dana DuBois and I were joined by the brilliant Stephanie G Wilson, PhD, host of Freedom Over Fascism, leadership coach, and all-around force for good in a time when good feels endangered. Stephanie didn’t just join the show—she lit it up.We started light (well, “light” in our way).

Today’s The Daily Whatever Show hit me right in the heart — and the funny bone. It’s National Coming Out Day, and honestly, what better excuse do I need to throw on my “Queer As Fuck” shirt, sip from a mug of steaming hot tea, and celebrate every single one of us — the ones who made it out, the ones who are still finding their way, and the ones who never got the chance.Props to bestie Dana DuBois, who let me steal the show so I could queer the place up.

Every week on The Daily Whatever Show, we try to laugh our way through the national dumpster fire—and today’s Fucked-Up Friday was no exception. Dana DuBois was in “war-torn” Portland (where the biggest crisis was a mocha with not enough chocolate), I was trying not to scream about the weaponization of justice, and our friend Rich Kagan of Le Simple Sudiste joined from France to deliver one of the wildest stories yet.I kicked things off with what might be the most chilling sign yet of Trump’s
