What the Actual Drake

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. 🕵️‍♀️🔪

This week on WTAD, we’re checking in on… absolutely nothing new in sports (because apparently the sports world hit the snooze button⚾️), discussing the lack of action in WWE SummerSlam, and sharing what’s also not new in our work lives.

Then we swap the office for the weekend, recapping a trip to Topgolf, trying out some new food spots, and the usual random adventures that somehow become stories.

And then… there’s Act Two of our ongoing role-playing saga.

What started as a weird adventure takes a sharp left turn into nightmare fuel. Things get weird, unsettling, and creepy as fuck. If you’ve been following the story, buckle up because it’s only getting darker.

Sports. Work. Weekend shenanigans. Psychological horror. Just another completely normal episode of What the Actual Drake.

This episode has everything. We kick things off with the biggest stories in sports: from the FIFA champions to the latest NBA trades, and share our takes on the winners, losers, and surprises. Then we switch gears into real life, diving into family drama and the Ash’s latest employment update, complete with the highs, lows, and moments that make you question humanity. But just when you think you’ve got us figured out…

We take a hard left turn into an improvised role-playing adventure. Ashley finds herself in a creepy, mysterious world where every decision could lead to something sinister. Strange encounters, eerie twists, and plenty of laughs make this unexpected adventure one you won’t want to miss. Sports, stories, chaos, and a little horror. It’s another wildly unpredictable episode. Tune in and enjoy the ride!

This week, we kicked things off with the FIFA World Cup before diving into some more personal updates, including Ashley’s upcoming job loss and what comes next. 

From there, things took a turn into conspiracy territory as we debated the wild “loss of gravity” theory, CERN, NASA, and whether there’s more going on than we’re being told. We also revisited the Mandela Effect, including the infamous Shazaam movie that half the internet swears existed.

To wrap things up, Greg gave his thoughts after finishing the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book and why the series continues to deliver.

It’s a mix of sports, life updates, bizarre rabbit holes, and book talk…just another episode where no topic is off limits.

This week, we’re all over the map in the best way possible. We kick things off with the latest FIFA World Cup standings before sharing an update on Greg’s Duncan Crawler Carl journey.  From there, we dive into a conversation about the state of society and what happens when people lose their moral compass, including the guy who took our kids' bingo winnings... gross. We also give you a behind-the-scenes look at our new podcast setup, discuss why obesity continues to run rampant in America, and break down some of the upcoming movies we’re most excited to see. As always, expect plenty of laughs, hot takes, and random banter along the way. Grab your favorite drink and join us for another fun, unfiltered episode!

The Fourth of July may be over, but we’re still unpacking the chaos. This week, we dive into the latest FIFA World Cup action, catch up on our ongoing Dungeon Crawler Carl obsession, and somehow end up deep in the rabbit hole of Minnesota lore. We also give a full recap of our holiday camping trip with the kids.. including everything that went sideways and the shocking discovery that our doodle is absolutely NOT built for tent camping. Between the kids, the dog, and the general campground chaos, it was one unforgettable weekend. As always, expect plenty of laughs, side quests, and the kind of conversations that go completely off the rails.

The Loot Drop Nobody Asked For

Welcome, crawler. You survived another week, which means you’ve unlocked a fresh episode full of questionable decisions, unnecessary tangents, and enough pop culture to confuse the AI overlords.

This week’s loot includes Ash’s latest descent into demon smut, another progress report from the glorious madness that is Dungeon Crawler Carl, and why Audible continues to enable our reading addictions. We also stumble through World Cup chaos, recap a zoo adventure that somehow felt like its own side quest, celebrate America’s favorite pastime of blowing things up, and briefly consider abandoning civilization for RV life.

Along the way, we share a great National Parks pass tip for veterans, run through everything we’ve been watching (movies, TV, and anime), and wrap things up with a discussion about Polaroid’s anti-AI campaign.

Grab your emotional support cat, equip your best loot, and try not to trigger any mimics. The dungeon—and the chaos—awaits.

This week, we dive into a little bit of everything.. breaking down the latest headlines, including the excitement surrounding the 2026 World Cup and the buzz around the Obama Presidential Center taking shape in Chicago. We also swap stories from the trenches of work life, share some corporate chaos, and discuss the everyday absurdities that somehow become normal.

Just when you think we’re wrapping things up, Greg sends the conversation into an unexpected spiral with an existential crisis about works of fiction, storytelling, and what it all means. Naturally, things get weird.

Current events, workplace adventures, random tangents, and one man questioning reality.. just another day in the Drake universe. 🎙️😂

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the digital age, where AI is evolving faster than most people can keep up, and figuring out what’s real online is becoming almost impossible. From there, the conversation turns darker. public surveillance, the slow disappearance of privacy, and what it means to live in a world where we’re constantly watched, tracked, and analyzed.

Also, we cover Meta Platforms and the controversy surrounding changes to Instagram's encryption, and what that could mean for the future of online communication. Lastly, we get into gym culture and Greg’s recent gym experiences/reviews.

This is not in order. A mix of health, technology, culture, and conspiracy-adjacent reality checks. This episode goes everywhere. Hop on.

In this week’s episode, we take a laid-back stroll through our weekend: from a fun adventure at the zoo, to reflecting on the progress of our health/fitness  journeys. We also dive into Greg’s latest TV obsessions and what we’d do if we ever got a divorce.🤣 Tune in for a cozy, candid catch-up on all things life.
