This week, we're swimming through a tidal wave of chaos, starting with the rollercoaster of comments I've been getting lately. Last week, Jeanette was tossing shade, but this week, the love is flowing from RC Kelly and Cordell—though my new pal Munchlax hit me with an iconic "you're so gay." Thanks, buddy. Real helpful.Meanwhile, Elon Musk is under attack (again), and naturally, he's blaming mental illness for people blowing up Teslas and spray-painting swastikas on superchargers. Shocker, right? Apparently, it's not because people might be a teensy bit upset about Doge-related cuts affecting veterans, food banks, medical research, or that accidental cancellation of Ebola research funding. "Oopsie" doesn't quite cut it, Elon.And speaking of Doge, Musk and his buddy Trump's latest financial freeze means farmers and nonprofits like Passa in Pennsylvania haven't received funding for months. Now, their employees can't get paid—which means neither can I. Elon, bro, now you've crossed the line by messing with my wallet. What are we doing?In lighter news (well, sort of), I stumbled onto American Idol after like 17 years, only to realize it's basically TikTok auditions now. Nobody actually "wins," except maybe Kelly Clarkson, but that's ancient history. This week, viral TikTok star Sophie Powers performed her masterpiece, "Shut the F*** Up," which I hate to admit actually slaps. Laundry, groceries, traffic—shut up indeed. Still, the show's become nothing more than influencers trying desperately to make a 60-second viral clip.Of course, no episode is complete without food opinions. The MD Foodie Boys debated wings, and let's just say if you’re ordering honey barbecue, we're not friends. Shout-out to Alibis in Carlisle for perfect wings, RIP thanks to a drunk college kid. Wingstop's lazy employees ruined my order so many times they put my name on the wall—free wings forever, I guess? Haven't cashed in yet; don’t want to seem petty.Finally, in tech news, the Pebble smartwatch is back from the dead—thankfully without any AI nonsense. It has a 30-day battery, looks retro-cool, and is totally open-source. Apple, take notes: my wrist is ready.*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD
