May 03, 2024 Biden Forgives the Art Institute & Marijuana Laws! Trump Farts A Lot & Drake Rap Beef Updates #139
First up, let's talk about the Art Institutes. This for-profit college chain had been happily chugging along, allegedly misleading students and raking in those sweet, sweet tuition dollars. But, as it turns out, the Art Institutes were about as legit as a three-dollar bill. The Education Department discovered that the school had been pulling some serious shenanigans, like claiming 80% of their graduates were employed in their field within six months. In reality, that number never even hit 60%. Talk about a creative interpretation of the truth!
But wait, there's more! The Art Institutes also had a knack for inflating their graduates' earnings. In a move that can only be described as "bold," one campus even included tennis superstar Serena Williams' annual income in their calculations. Because, you know, every Art Institute grad is just one Grand Slam away from making it big.
Well, the jig is finally up, and the Biden administration is swooping in to save the day. They're forgiving a whopping $6.1 billion in student debt for 317,000 unfortunate souls who attended the Art Institutes between 2004 and 2017. The best part? It's automatic, baby! No need to fill out any pesky paperwork or jump through hoops. The government will just wave its magic wand and *poof* - your debt disappears faster than a plate of donuts at a police station.
Now, let's move on to the other big news: the potential reclassification of marijuana. That's right, the DEA might finally be ready to admit that maybe, just maybe, marijuana isn't quite as dangerous as they've been making it out to be for the past 50 years. The plan is to move marijuana from a Schedule I drug (you know, the ones with "no accepted medical use" like heroin and LSD) to a Schedule III drug (the ones with "low to moderate potential for abuse" like ketamine and codeine-laced Tylenol).
This change would be a pretty big deal. For starters, it would mark the first time the U.S. government has acknowledged that marijuana might actually have some medical benefits. Shocking, we know. It's not like people have been saying this for decades or anything. But hey, better late than never, right?
If the reclassification goes through, it could open up a whole new world of possibilities. Researchers could finally study marijuana's potential medical uses without having to jump through a million bureaucratic hoops. Pharmaceutical companies could get in on the action and start selling marijuana products in states where it's legal. And, perhaps most importantly, marijuana businesses would no longer be subject to that pesky federal tax law that treats them like common drug dealers.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled about the idea of having to register with the DEA. Some cannabis dispensary owners are understandably wary of inviting the feds into their world. But hey, that's the price you pay for legitimacy, we suppose.
Now, before we all get too excited, let's remember that this is the government we're talking about. The proposal still needs to go through more red tape than a mummy at a bureaucracy convention. It has to get the White House's approval, go through a public comment period, and survive potential legal challenges and future political shenanigans. So, don't go throwing out your dealer's number just yet.
In the meantime, we'll be over here, munching on our government-subsidized Art Institute degree and waiting for the day when we can buy our medical marijuana from the same place we get our flu shots. What a time to be alive!
Well, that's all we've got for you today, folks. Tune in next week, when we'll be discussing the latest developments in the thrilling world of tax law. Just kidding, we wouldn't do that to you. Or would we? You'll have to tune in to find out!

April 29, 2024 TikTok Tussle: The Messy Clash of Social Media, National Security, and Billions of Dollars #138
So, here's the tea: Congress has passed a bill that essentially says, "Hey ByteDance, either sell TikTok or get ready for a nationwide ban." Why, you ask? Well, apparently, some folks in Washington are worried that the Chinese government might use TikTok to collect sensitive data on Americans or spread propaganda. I mean, sure, valid concerns, but have they seen the state of American social media lately?
Now, ByteDance has a tough choice to make: sell their golden goose or risk losing access to the U.S. market entirely. But here's where it gets juicy - TikTok is planning to fight back in court, arguing that a forced sale could violate users' free speech rights. I can just imagine the legal battle now: "Your honor, how will Americans express themselves without the ability to lip-sync to 'Savage' while doing the Renegade dance?"
Even if ByteDance decides to sell, finding a buyer won't be a cakewalk. We're talking about a price tag that could make Jeff Bezos's eyes water. Plus, any potential buyer would have to pass the government's sniff test. It's like trying to find a date on Tinder, but instead of swiping right, you've got to get Uncle Sam's approval.
But wait, there's more! China might just swoop in and block the whole thing. They've already hinted that they're not too keen on the idea of selling TikTok. It's like watching a high-stakes game of chess, but instead of pawns and rooks, we've got algorithms and national security concerns.
And let's not forget about the poor TikTok employees caught in the middle of this mess. They're scattered across the globe, using ByteDance software to communicate, and now they might have to learn how to use Slack or something. The horror!
Meanwhile, over in the land of upstate New York, we've got a district attorney who apparently thinks traffic laws are just suggestions. Sandra Doorley was caught on bodycam footage calling a police officer "an a--hole" for having the audacity to pull her over for speeding. Classy move, Sandra.
But here's where it gets even better: the Rochester City Council is now asking Attorney General Letitia James to investigate Doorley's behavior. They're questioning her fitness to serve as District Attorney, and honestly, I can't blame them. I mean, if you can't handle getting a speeding ticket without throwing a tantrum, how are you supposed to handle, you know, actual crime?
The council members are arguing that public officials should be held to the highest standards of ethics and accountability and that Doorley's behavior undermines the credibility of the justice system. In other words, they're saying, "Hey Sandra, maybe don't be a jerk to the cops when you're supposed to be upholding the law."
So, there you have it, folks. A tale of two stories - one involving billions of dollars, national security, and the fate of a beloved social media app, and the other involving a district attorney who apparently missed the memo on basic decency. It's like watching a soap opera, but instead of love triangles and evil twins, we've got geopolitical tensions and traffic violations.
As always, thanks for tuning in to the "What are We Doing" podcast. If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with your friends. And if you're feeling extra spicy, leave us a comment with your thoughts on the TikTok debacle or Sandra Doorley's bad behavior. Until next time, stay weird and stay informed!

April 12, 2024 JoJo Siwa Creates Gay Pop Genre for Drake after Battling the ENTIRE Rap Industry! 🔥 #136
JoJo Siwa's Gay Pop Debacle:
In this segment, we dive into the latest buzz in the music world as JoJo Siwa walks back her bold claim of "inventing" gay pop after receiving some well-deserved side-eye from queer pop pioneers. We discuss her aspirations to be the "CMO of Gay Pop" and the long history of LGBTQ representation in pop music that came before her, from icons like David Bowie and Elton John to modern trailblazers like Lil Nas X and Troye Sivan. Siwa's comments sparked a conversation about the importance of acknowledging the contributions of those who paved the way and the ongoing fight for visibility and acceptance in the music industry. We also touch on the reaction from other artists, including Tegan and Sara's silent "Really, ma'am?" and the imagined "board meeting" with Charli XCX, Lady Gaga, and the ultimate President of Gay Pop, Cher.
The Life and Legacy of O.J. Simpson:
Next, we reflect on the complicated life and legacy of O.J. Simpson following his passing at age 76. From his meteoric rise as a football star and actor to his stunning fall from grace after the murder trial that captivated the nation, we examine how the case exposed deep divisions in America and forever changed how Simpson was viewed in the public eye. We delve into the details of the trial, the infamous slow-speed chase, and the controversies that surrounded the case. Simpson's later robbery conviction and prison sentence added yet another chapter to his tumultuous story, and we discuss the public's fascination with his life and the lasting impact of his legacy. We also touch on the reactions from the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, and the ongoing debate over celebrity justice and race in America.
Drake's Rap Beefs and Subliminal Disses:
The rap world is heating up as Drake faces an onslaught of subliminal disses from former friends and collaborators on Future and Metro Boomin's new album. We break down the potential jabs from The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky, unpacking the long history and behind-the-scenes drama between them and Drake. Could this be revenge for past slights, like Drake allegedly trying to sign The Weeknd to OVO or rumors of Drake's involvement with Rocky's current partner Rihanna? We speculate on the meaning behind the cryptic lyrics and the possibility of new feuds bubbling up in the rap scene. We also discuss Drake's own recent releases and the ongoing debate over his dominance in the genre, as well as the trend of using music to air out personal grievances and settle scores in the public eye.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Latest Chapter:
Finally, we catch up on the latest with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who has filed for divorce and a restraining order against her husband Ryan Anderson just months after leaving prison. We discuss her journey since the murder of her mother Dee Dee, her time behind bars, and her attempts to move forward and rediscover herself. We delve into the details of her marriage to Anderson, whom she met while in prison, and the recent breakdown of their relationship. As Gypsy Rose navigates her new life on the outside, we examine the challenges she faces in building a future for herself and the ongoing fascination with her story. We also touch on the wider issues of abuse, mental health, and the criminal justice system that her case brought to light, and the lessons that can be learned from her experience.

April 05, 2024 KARMA! JoJo Siwa's Risky Rebrand: From Child Star to Edgy Adult + Rap Beef with 280+ 🎀🎤 Episode #135
Well, well, well, folks! It looks like JoJo Siwa is all grown up and ready to shed her colorful, bow-wearing persona for a more mature, edgy look. 😎🖤 At the iHeartRadio Music Awards, the 20-year-old debuted a daring, Gene Simmons-inspired bodysuit, complete with a KISS-style face paint. 🎸😲 Talk about a transformation!
But as we've seen time and time again, transitioning from child star to adult entertainer is no easy feat. 😓 Just ask the countless Nickelodeon and Disney stars who struggled to break through to mainstream success in their later years. 📺💔 Even Miley Cyrus, who JoJo cites as her idol, had to go through her infamous "Bangerz" era to divorce herself from her Hannah Montana image. 🎤👅
As a predominantly online creator, JoJo faces a unique challenge in riding the wave of her child stardom into her 20s. 🌊💻 Media researcher David Olusegun notes that child stars often build a brand around their youthful persona, creating a disconnect when they attempt to transition to an adult identity. 👧👉👩 This shift can confuse audiences and make it difficult to maintain old fans while attracting new ones. 😕
But JoJo seems to be well aware of the risks involved in her rebrand. 😏 She's been experimenting with a more grown-up look for the past few years, trading primary colors and huge bows for muted tones and plunging necklines. 🎨👗 And with her new single "Karma" featuring mature themes and strong language, she's clearly not afraid to push boundaries. 🚫🔞
However, some fans are finding the transition a bit jarring, with comments calling her recent TikTok "cringe" and expressing nostalgia for the "old JoJo." 😬 But content creator Katya Varbanova believes JoJo knows exactly what she's doing, crafting intentional moves to create buzz and cater to her evolving audience. 🤔💡
Only time will tell if JoJo Siwa can successfully navigate the treacherous waters of child star rebranding. 🌊⏰ But one thing's for sure – she's not afraid to take risks and make bold statements along the way. 💪😎 #JoJoGlowUp #ChildStarTransition #RiskItForTheBiscuit

March 29, 2024 Gypsy Rose Splits from Husband with Trump's MAGA Bible as Diddy's Home Gets Raided! Podcast #134
In this wild ride of an episode, we cover everything from neighborhood drama to celebrity scandals and even some questionable dance competitions. Buckle up, because episode 134 is a doozy!
First up, I dive into my ongoing battles with my neighbors. From the two-faced twig down the street talking smack about my son to the HOA's pointless mulch mountain blocking the road, I'm reaching my breaking point. I've got some hilarious revenge schemes in the works though, like blasting annoying guitar riffs at 3am. The HOA better watch out, because I'm not afraid to go to war!
Next, some shocking celebrity relationship news - Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her husband are splitting up just months after she was released from prison. I speculate this is just Gypsy's pattern of using people until she doesn't need them anymore. Will she find herself in the LGBTQ+ community next? Only time will tell.
Speaking of unlikely religious figures, Donald Trump is now hawking a $60 "God Bless the USA" Bible just in time for Easter. This man will slap his name on anything to make a buck, from Bibles to NFTs. I dare churches to start using this MAGA Bible for their services - can you imagine?
But the real bombshell this episode is the federal investigation into Sean "Diddy" Combs. With his homes raided, Diddy could be facing some serious charges related to sexual assault and even sex trafficking. This case has Epstein-level potential, and I predict we'll be seeing celebrities' names dragged into it for years to come. Diddy's "no homo" days are over - it's "no Diddy" now.
I also weigh in on Dana White's recent awkward podcast appearances. Hosts need to get it together and stop sabotaging their interviews with this MMA kingpin. Maybe what we really need is Dana, Trump, Joe Rogan and the Nelk Boys all on a podcast together, competing to plug their latest money-making schemes.
Finally, I react to the wild world of competitive dance on TikTok. When did moms start choreographing routines to Nelly songs? The hip-hop dance finalist videos I stumbled upon have me dying.
Well, that's a wrap on this crazy episode! Be sure to like and subscribe so you never miss the insanity. I'll be back next week with more unhinged takes on everything from my battle with the HOA to celebrity antics. Stay tuned and stay wacky - because seriously, what are we even doing? Peace out!

March 22, 2024 Nickelodeon & Dan Schneider's Dark Secrets Exposed: Shocking Allegations in 'Quiet on Set' 📺 #133
In this explosive episode, we dive deep into the disturbing revelations from the four-part docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," which aired on Investigation Discovery. 🕵️‍♀️📺 The series sheds light on the toxic culture, sexual abuse, and psychological trauma endured by child stars on Nickelodeon shows during the 1990s and early 2000s. 😢💔
At the center of the scandal is Dan Schneider, the once-celebrated producer behind hit shows like iCarly, Drake & Josh, and Zoey 101. 🎥😠 The documentary exposes Schneider's inappropriate behavior, including his closeness with young cast members and the sexualized nature of jokes he made children perform. 🚫👎
We discuss the stories of former child stars like Jennette McCurdy, who recounted her uncomfortable experiences with Schneider, and Drake Bell, who identified himself as a victim of convicted child abuser and dialogue coach Brian Peck. 😔🙏 The series also highlights the racial abuse and tokenism faced by Black actors on Nickelodeon sets. 🤬✊🏿
In the wake of the docuseries, Schneider issued a YouTube apology, which some victims felt was inadequate and failed to address the main issues raised in "Quiet on Set." 😒🎥 Nickelodeon, meanwhile, claimed it could not "corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago." 🙈🤫
We explore the broader implications of this scandal, discussing how it reflects a pervasive problem in the entertainment industry and the need for greater accountability and safeguards to protect child actors. 💡🔐 As the co-director of the documentary stated, this is a moment for our culture to reflect on the dark side of fame and the impact it has on young performers. 🤔💡
Join us as we unpack this shocking exposé and consider what steps need to be taken to ensure a safer, more supportive environment for child actors in the future. 🙏💪

March 16, 2024 Kate Middleton is MISSING, TikToks Banned & Magicians Aren't Happy About It | What are We Doing #132
Mystery alert! We've got the curious case of the missing princess. Kate Middleton has been MIA from the public eye since December, and the speculation is running rampant. Kensington Palace claims she had a planned abdominal surgery in January and will be out of sight until March, but the grainy photos, altered images, and vague medical updates have conspiracy theorists in a tizzy. Is she hiding away due to a botched Brazilian butt lift? Did she get terrible bangs and is waiting for them to grow out? Or is she just taking a break after a grueling MLB offseason? The theories are as wild as they are entertaining.
Next, we've got the shocking suspension of Murray the Magician from the famed Magic Castle. His crime? Exposing magic tricks online! Murray's viral video, featuring his sexy sidekick wife Dani revealing the secrets behind his tricks, racked up over 50 million views on Facebook. The Academy of Magical Arts was not amused and promptly suspended Murray pending an investigation. Murray argues that the magic community needs to update their outdated rules for the internet age, as anyone can learn these tricks on Amazon. Is the AMA just jealous of Murray's fame, or are they rightfully guarding the sacred secrets of magic? You be the judge!
Finally, we dive into the ongoing battle over TikTok's future in the U.S. The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would force TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a nationwide ban. The clock is ticking, with a September deadline looming if the bill becomes law. TikTok is fighting back with a furious lobbying blitz, urging its millions of users to bombard Congress with calls and even sending their CEO to campaign on the Hill. Will the Senate succumb to the pressure, or will they take a more cautious approach to avoid angering young voters ahead of the elections?
The debate over TikTok's potential national security risks is heating up, with officials fearing that the Chinese government could use the app to spy on Americans, push propaganda, or interfere in elections. ByteDance claims they've never received requests for U.S. user data from China and have taken steps to protect Americans' privacy, but many in Washington remain unconvinced. If the ban does go through, TikTok users may have to resort to VPNs to get their daily dose of viral dance challenges and lip-sync battles.
As the TikTok drama unfolds, legal experts are already predicting a massive First Amendment battle if the app is ultimately shut down. Previous attempts to ban TikTok have been blocked by federal judges, citing a lack of concrete evidence of the app's alleged national security threats. Will the government be able to make a convincing case this time around, or will TikTok emerge victorious in the courts? Only time will tell.
So there you have it, folks! From Kate Middleton's disappearance to rebellious magicians and the looming threat of a TikTok-less existence, this episode of the What are We Doing podcast has it all. Tune in for more hilarious takes on the biggest stories of the day, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with your friends. Until next time, keep questioning reality and laughing at the absurdity of it all!

March 08, 2024 The State of The Union | Biden, Taylor Swift, Trump, MGK & AOC | What are We Doing Podcast #131 #new
Hey everyone, Levi McCurdy here, back with another episode of the What Are We Doing podcast after a brief hiatus thanks to the entire house getting knocked out by the swine flu. Can you believe it? The first pandemic before the actual pandemic!
In this episode, I'm diving into my newfound obsession with the Paisano's pizza maker, which has been serving up restaurant-quality pies right in my kitchen. I've also got a genius idea for Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports: "One Bite at Home," where viewers submit their homemade pizza recipes and videos for a chance to be judged by the Barstool crew. Dave, if you're listening, let's make this happen!
I couldn't resist poking fun at the State of the Union address and the whole circus that is American politics. From Marjorie Taylor Greene's wild outfit to Biden's questionable claims and the never-ending applause, it's a comedy goldmine.
In the entertainment world, I'm dishing on the latest season of Love is Blind and all the jaw-dropping moments that made it unforgettable. Plus, I've got an exclusive new Taylor Swift song, "Kelsea (Taylor's Version)," that I'm debuting right here on the podcast. And get this: Singapore managed to secure Swift for an exclusive performance in Southeast Asia. Talk about a power move!
Now, this one's for you, Young Gravy. My fiancée had a wild Instacart adventure involving 600 ounces of gravy and a smooth-talking "King of Gravy Riz." If you want to use the term "gravy raise" in your next song and give a shout-out to the What Are We Doing podcast, be my guest!
I also touched on Machine Gun Kelly's latest song and his apparent battle with depression. My solution? Joe Exotic might be the key to turning that frown upside down.
To wrap things up, I'm warning you all about China's alleged plan to hack American infrastructure, starting with cell towers and social media. Wake up, people! And don't forget to support the podcast by checking out our sponsors, like gel blasters and Visible wireless plans, and by following and subscribing to the What Are We Doing podcast on all your favorite platforms.
Trust me, you don't want to miss this hilarious and jam-packed episode where I tackle everything from politics and pop culture to personal stories and conspiracy theories, all while trying to keep a straight face. Tune in now!

February 20, 2024 I Auditioned For The NYPD Dance Team & Ordered Donald Trumps New $400 Shoes | What are We Doing #130
In this episode of the "What are We Doing" podcast, we embark on a wild journey through the curious case of the NYPD Dance Team. As your intrepid host, Levi, I'll be your guide through the twists and turns of this bizarre tale, where officers' dance moves take center stage, leaving crime-fighting duties in the dust. Strap in, folks, because this rollercoaster ride is about to get wild!
Picture this: the New York City Police Department, facing criticism sharper than a freshly sharpened pencil, all because their dance crew decided to make a splash on a local TV station. Now, you might be wondering, "Levi, what's the big deal with a little dance routine?" Well, my dear listeners, it seems some folks are more concerned with catching criminals than perfecting the latest choreography.
Critics wasted no time taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to air their grievances. One user quipped, "Mayor Eric Adams cut an additional $100 million from education this year, but he somehow found money for the NYPD to promote themselves with a dance team." Ouch! Another chimed in, "Fire the NYPD dance team and hire more cops." Talk about cutting straight to the chase!
But wait, it gets juicier. Nicole Parker, a former FBI agent and Fox News Contributor, didn't hold back her thoughts, calling the whole ordeal "outrageous" and "offensive." As a woman in law enforcement, she found the dance team's antics downright degrading. "I am embarrassed," she declared, her words echoing like a siren through the streets of the Big Apple.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "Levi, isn't there a time and place for a little fun?" And you'd be right! But when violent crime is skyrocketing faster than a New York minute, maybe it's time to trade in the dance shoes for some detective work. After all, as Parker pointed out, taxpayers aren't exactly footing the bill for a Broadway musical starring New York's finest.
To make matters even more perplexing, the NYPD Dance Team isn't just a one-hit wonder. Oh no, they're part of a whole brigade of sports teams, including boxing, paintball, and rugby. It's like a real-life version of "Police Academy," minus the slapstick comedy and with a lot more questionable decisions.
But wait, there's more! Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier, enter stage left: Donald J. Trump's latest venture into the world of fashion. Yes, you heard that right. The former president, never one to shy away from the spotlight, decided to dip his toes into the sneaker game.
Behold, the "Never Surrender" sneakers, a gilded masterpiece that screams "Trump" louder than a tweetstorm at 3 AM. With an American flag motif and a hefty price tag of $399, these kicks are more than just footwear – they're a statement. A statement that says, "I may not be in the White House anymore, but I'm still making waves."
But let's not get too distracted by the glitz and glamour of the Trump empire. After all, we've got a crime-fighting dance squad to dissect! Critics continue to sound the alarm, pointing out that while the NYPD is busy busting moves, crime rates are on the rise. It's a classic case of misplaced priorities, like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic while the iceberg looms large on the horizon.

February 14, 2024 Usher Rocks Halftime Show | Chiefs vs Niners Super Bowl LVIII FULL RECAP ft Los | What are We Doing
Welcome to episode 129 of the What are We Doing podcast! In this week's episode, hosts Levi and Los break down Super Bowl LVIII where the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.
The Chiefs came into the game as underdogs but were able to overcome a 10-point deficit to become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions in two decades. The game was a rematch of Super Bowl LIV in 2020 when the Chiefs beat the Niners 31-20.
It was an exciting back-and-forth game that went down to the wire. The Chiefs struck first with a field goal at the end of the second quarter. In the third quarter, the Niners responded with a touchdown thanks to a trick play where wide receiver Jauan Jennings threw to running back Christian McCaffrey for a 21-yard score. The Chiefs battled back at the end of the third with their own touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
The fourth quarter saw both teams trade field goals and touchdowns. With under two minutes left, Niners kicker Jake Moody hit a 53-yarder to put San Francisco up 19-16. But Mahomes led an impressive last-minute drive, setting up a game-tying field goal with 3 seconds left to force overtime.
In OT, the Niners struck first with a field goal. But Mahomes worked his magic again, driving KC down the field and hitting Mecole Hardman for the game-winning 1-yard TD pass with just 13 seconds left. Mahomes cemented his legacy as a clutch performer, leading another comeback win.
It was only the second Super Bowl ever to go to overtime after Super Bowl LI in 2017. Chiefs coach Andy Reid stayed perfect against 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, moving to 4-0. And the Niners drought without a Super Bowl win extends to 30 years now.
The Chiefs defense came up big all game, containing the Niners attack. And the KC offense persevered despite turnovers and miscues. Mahomes battled through an uncharacteristic interception. The running backs on both teams struggled to hold onto the ball. But in the end, Mahomes and the Chiefs made just enough plays to get another Lombardi Trophy.
In the episode, Levi and Los discuss the keys to the Chiefs win, including the late defensive stops and Mahomes' resolve. They talk about the trick plays, turnovers, and other big moments that swung the game. They analyze the coaches' decisions and the adjustments both teams made.
They also dive into the halftime show featuring Usher with guest appearances from others like Alicia Keys. Usher ran through his hits from across his decades-long career. From "Caught Up" to "Yeah" with Lil Jon, it was a high-energy performance filled with costume changes and choreography.
Levi and Los debate where this Super Bowl ranks among the best ever. Does it match up to classics like Super Bowl XLIX and LI? Are the Chiefs now an NFL dynasty after winning 3 Lombardis in 5 years? Where does Mahomes rank among the all-time great QBs after adding a second Super Bowl MVP?
It's an action-packed episode breaking down all the big storylines from Super Bowl LVIII! Whether you watched the game or missed it, this is the perfect podcast to catch you up on everything that went down as the Chiefs emerged victorious in another Super Bowl classic.
