What the Actual Drake episodes

  • What Color Was Your Math Folder?!

    🎙️ WHAT THE ACTUAL DRAKE: We Have No Idea What This Episode Is About We came in with a plan. We had topics. We had intentions. And then, as usual, we talked about literally EVERYTHING. 😂 We kicked things off with weird news and the topics of the week before spiraling into TV, movies, world records, and technology. Greg showed off his new iPhone Duo, because apparently we’re at the age where new technology is exciting enough to become an entire podcast segment. 📱 Then we took a hard left into full-blown millennial nostalgia. We’re talking childhood memories, questionable trends, and the age-old debate that will apparently haunt our generation forever: WHAT COLOR WAS YOUR MATH FOLDER?! 📚 If you know, you know. If you don’t, we have questions. We wrapped things up with sports and a look back at the anniversary of the original iPod.. a tiny piece of technology that changed how we listened to music and permanently altered our ability to function without headphones. 🎧 From breaking news to childhood trauma disguised as nostalgia, this episode has a little bit of everything and absolutely no ability to stay on topic. Come for the news. Stay for the nonsense. Leave wondering why you suddenly remember your middle school Trapper Keeper. 😂 Listen now, and tell us: WHAT COLOR WAS YOUR MATH FOLDER?! #WhatTheActualDrake #MillennialNostalgia #PodcastLife #90sKids #2000sNostalgia #SportsAndShenanigans

  • We Bought POGs. Because Adulthood Is Going Great.

    🏈⚾🏒 Football, hockey, White House drama, and a full-blown POGs comeback? Welcome to What the Actual Drake.

    This week, we covered college football, the World Series, and Minnesota hockey before diving into the real-life thrill of gas station fuel rewards. Because nothing says adulthood like getting excited about saving a few cents at the pump. 😂

    We also unpacked the latest current events, including the drama surrounding the White House press secretary, before taking a hard left into the past with a good old-fashioned millennial throwback: POGs. And because we have adult money and questionable impulse control, we went ahead and bought an entire collection. Who needs retirement savings when you can relive your childhood?

    Of course, we couldn’t stay away from college football for long. We circled back to Archie Manning and the Texas Longhorns to rant about the latest disappointment, because apparently, we’re not done being emotionally invested in college athletes who have no idea we exist.

    Sports takes, political drama, nostalgia-fueled spending, and the kind of tangents that make you wonder how we got here in the first place.

    It’s another episode of What the Actual Drake. We meant to have a normal conversation, but… well, you know how that goes. 🎙️

    1 hr 29 min
  • Football, True Crime & Greg’s Terrible Calendar.

    College football, NFL chaos, questionable Vikings QB decisions, and a full-blown debate about whether time is a social construct. You know… a normal episode. 😂

    This week, we talked about college ball from the weekend, upcoming NFL games, and whatever the hell the Vikings are doing with their quarterbacks. Then things took a darker turn as we dove into the Christa Pike case and the death penalty.

    From there, Greg decided to challenge the very fabric of existence by arguing that time is NOT a social construct and that a 13th month with 28 days in every month would somehow be a good idea. Ash thinks this is boring as fuck. Greg remains committed to his terrible calendar.

    And because apparently that wasn’t enough chaos, we ended up taking a full nostalgic trip down Millennial Memory Lane — Pokémon, movies, Millennial trends, toys, and all the random crap that defined our childhoods. Butterfinger BBs? HitClips? Absolutely. If it made us say, “OH MY GOD, I remember those,” it made the cut.

    Basically: football, true crime, existential arguments, bad calendar proposals, and aggressively Millennial nostalgia.

    Come hang out with us for another episode of What the Actual Drake. 😂

  • Are We Living in a Simulation… and Why Does My Dog Hate Me?

    Week 3 of football is officially in the books, so naturally we had to recap all the NFL and college football chaos before making our Week 4 predictions. 🏈

     

    Then we dive into our weekly life recap…which, for once, was suspiciously… boring. No major disasters, no spectacular chaos. Honestly, we’re a little concerned. 😂

     

    We also get into the latest current events, TLDR.tech, Elon Musk’s Terafab plans in Texas, and somehow end up asking the most important question of all: how the hell does space even work?! Ash has a theory: we’re living in a simulation. Greg remains unconvinced. Probably.

     

    And we wrap things up with one of the most relatable topics in the Drake household: our complicated love/hate relationship with our pets. Greg claims he hates cats while actively cuddling them, and we discuss the glamorous (read: absolutely disgusting) reality of pet ownership.

     

    Football, space, simulated reality, technology, pets, and a surprisingly uneventful week of our lives. What the Actual Drake strikes again. 😂

  • Football, Faith & Fucking Dinosaurs

    We’re covering NFL Week 2 & 3 predictions, college football upsets, and the sports chaos that comes with pretending we know what’s going to happen. Then things take a hard left turn into politics and religion as we talk about Trump’s newest project — the proposed arch in Arlington, organized religion, and Ash’s ongoing journey toward becoming agnostic after consuming approximately 47 too many religion-based documentaries. And yes… the LDS documentaries have officially entered the chat. 😳 Naturally, this leads us to one extremely important question: WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DINOSAURS IN THE BIBLE?! 🦖📖😉 And because we clearly hadn’t caused enough chaos, we wrapped things up with Keep, Kill or Bring It Back: 90s–2000s Edition — because nothing says intellectual discussion like arguing about which forgotten trends deserve another chance. Sports. Politics. Religion. Dinosaurs. Nostalgia. Just another completely normal episode of What the Actual Drake. 😂

  • Can We Pass the Citizenship Test—or Just Pass Judgment?

    College football is back, the NFL season is officially gearing up, and naturally… we went completely off the rails. 😂 This week on What the Actual Drake, we talk college ball, make our NFL season predictions, and get into the Lindsey Clancy mistrial and the complicated questions surrounding the case. Then somehow we end up talking about the U.S. citizenship test, what other countries expect from people becoming citizens, and all the random thoughts that happen when two people refuse to stay on topic. Sports, current events, questionable opinions, and general chaos.. basically, business as usual around here. 🎙️ Listen in and see where the hell the conversation takes us this time.

  • Week 1 Picks & Giant-Ass Cockroaches

    Ok Week 1 predictions, cyborg cockroaches, political chaos, and the first-world problems that raised us. 😂 We’re kicking off NFL season with our Week 1 score predictions, plus the latest sports updates and plenty of opinions nobody asked for. Then things take a hard left into cyborg cockroaches and the Space Force(what do they actually do?), because apparently reality has officially become a sci-fi movie. We also dive into Trump’s latest shenanigans…  “Lake America”and the Good Good x Callaway commercial drama, where Ash surprisingly finds herself defending the men. Yes, you read that correctly. Greg may never recover. And because apparently we weren’t already chaotic enough, we take a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of Millennial First-World Problems: someone screwed up your LimeWire download by picking up the phone and killing your internet, your burned CD skipped on Track 7, or you had to actually wait for a song to download. 😭 Sports. Politics. Technology. Giant-ass cockroaches. Millennial suffering. What the Actual Drake is happening in this episode? Come find out.

  • 13,000 Pieces of Millennial Chaos

    This week on What the Actual Drake, we cover a little bit of everything, because apparently staying on one topic is not in our skill set. 😂

    We get into the latest current events and all the shit happening in the world, take a nostalgic trip down Millennial Memory Lane, and revisit the things that made growing up in the ’90s and early 2000s a completely different experience.

    We also survived a Vikings game that was so damn bad we left at halftime. 🫠🏈 Because sometimes you load up the whole fam for an outing and then decide you’d rather be literally anywhere else.

    Thankfully, the weekend redemption came in the form of Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store, which was every bit as epic as it sounds. We wandered through the glorious chaos, bought a 13,000-piece puzzle because apparently we hate having free time, and had one of those random experiences that somehow becomes a core memory.

    And because we’re apparently committed to keeping the Millennial nostalgia alive, we brought back throwback Mad Libs with exactly the level of maturity and inappropriate nonsense you’d expect from us.

    Current events. Millennial nostalgia. Bad football decisions. An absurd amount of candy. A 13,000-piece puzzle. Mad Libs.

    Basically, another completely normal episode of What the Actual Drake**.** 😂

  • Candy, Chaos & Questionable Mad Libs

    This week on What the Actual Drake, we’re talking football, current events, politics, sports, and all the other shit happening in the world that apparently we’re expected to have an opinion about. 😂

     

    We get into what’s looking good for the Pats this season, the state of the NFL, the latest political chaos, and the headlines that had us asking, “Wait… are we seriously doing this now?”

     

    And then… IT’S FINALLY HERE.

     

    We wrap up our ongoing creepy little role-playing adventure with the FINAL ACT. What started as a fun story has officially gone completely off the rails, and we finally find out how this weird-ass mystery ends.

     

    Come for the sports and current events. Stay for the questionable opinions, millennial chaos, and the conclusion to our increasingly unhinged fictional adventure.

     

    Things got weird. Things got creepy. And yes… we finally got an ending. 😂

  • The Aliens Have Better Job Security

    This week on What the Actual Drake… we spiraled through the alleged gravity loss fail of 8/12/26, debated whether aliens are real (and, more importantly, whether they’ve already clocked in at work among politicians and Hollywood A-listers), and collectively agreed that NASA is probably not telling us the full story and is, at minimum, deeply suspicious. We also hit a millennial rapid-fire round of “what wouldn’t kids today understand,” ranging from dial-up internet rage to why you couldn’t just Google everything mid-argument, all while somehow still trying to sound like functional adults. Basically: two millennials trying to make sense of the world while actively making it worse.

     

    Then we wrapped things up with Act Three of our weird mystery-thriller role-play and things got real fucking weird. The story gets darker, the mystery gets stranger, and at this point, we’re not entirely sure who should be trusted… including Ashley. 

     

    Come for the hot takes and questionable opinions. Stay for the increasingly unhinged mystery. 🕵️‍♀️🔪
