Hollywood’s got AI actors, old folks are starting to look like Kenny Rogers, and husbands everywhere are silently carrying the weight of the world — with zero credit. In today’s episode, we’re diving into deepfakes, deep burdens, and our newest creation: “The Jambler,” the AI actor no one asked for (but everyone needs).

In this episode of Who Versus, Phil and James are joined by a special guest who knows immigration inside and out — but don’t expect a typical policy talk. Between sharp insights and bursts of laughter, the trio dives into the realities of immigration, the charm (and chaos) of European pubs, and a global guessing game that tests their knowledge of international dishes. The results are as educational as they are hilarious. Just when things seem to settle down, the conversation takes an unexpected detour to Cracker Barrel’s logo — sparking nostalgia for old-school spots like Aunt Sarah’s Pancake House and leaving everyone (and you) a little hungry for more.

Turns out the healthcare industry is the largest employer in every state, but one. No one asked for this. James is worried that the axis of the Earth is off after watching the movie 2012 starring Woody Harrelson and John Cusack. If the elites are jumping ship to go live on Mars we want to know when. What if you woke up from a nap and you were back in 1998 and it had all been a dream, what would you do? Good advice can keep you going in a tough time. What's the best life advice someone's giving you to keep on keeping on. Also, would Joel Osteen be a fun lunch conversation?

In this episode of Who Versus? Phil has more parking lot beef. This time with a new lot attendant. Its not his fault. James loves American made khakis. American made clothes should last BUT THEY DON'T. The guys interviewed 100 young men about their thoughts on the Sydney Sweeney jeans add. James's growling stomach gets the guys talking about the appetite suppressant benefits of nicotine pouches.

In this episode of Who Versus, things get spicy. James shares his shocking (and hilarious) visit to a local library. Phil declares that libraries might just be a “money laundering operation for bad books.” James weighs in on literary censorship, community decay, and where all the Mark Twain went.Also on deck:The Fails University ad reads you won't believe. Sponsored by the deep state.The ultimate list of movies adults can watch with kids in the roomPrepper update: gas generators, buckets, and bug-out binsAnd of course, a wild improv riff on Alligator Alcatraz — is it a prison, a wrestler, or a 1970s doo-wop group?

In this unfiltered episode of Who Versus, James and Phil dive deep into the absurdities of modern parenting, from overpriced ballet recitals and humiliating daddy-daughter dances to the broader feminization of fatherhood. They call out the infantilization of dads in pop culture, unpack why some kids' events feel more like Disney commercials, and explain why a generation of men is silently steaming in Masonic temples across the country. Plus, the guys riff on “No Kings” rallies, the best sandwich answers, and whether play-fighting is the last masculine frontier.This episode is packed with brutal honesty, dark humor, and a few conspiracies for good measure. If you've ever questioned what the heck is going on with parenting culture today, this one's for you.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden world of the “walking guy,” that mysterious neighborhood figure always out strolling, and why it’s more important than you think. We break down what it really means to be a FUD in gun culture, roast modern cooking shows, and debate the virtues of the 1911. Plus, we discover the Pasta Queen and her hypnotic recipes, and somehow end up talking about Julia Child fighting Andre the Giant.It’s a hilarious, unscripted deep dive into forgotten Americana, gun nerd debates, and the weird corners of modern life.👉 Drop a comment if you’ve got a walking guy in your town!

What do power outages, orangutans, and Ukrainian special forces have in common? This episode. James and Phil cover it all—from surviving 37 hours without electricity during a brutal heatwave (lessons learned: get a generator, not scented candles) to the wild world of pistol competitions. Then it’s a deep dive into America’s forgotten cinematic obsession: trucker movies. Plus, a surprise rant about ham radios, a possible CIA neighbor, and a breakdown of what the “Big Beautiful Bill” really is (spoiler: not legislation). This one’s chaotic in the best way.

In this episode, the guys dive into the new Adrien Brody movie and end up deep in a conversation about architecture—especially in D.C. They talk about the Beautiful Buildings Movement, why brutalism still gets so much hate, and the clash between modern and traditional design. They break down how architecture reflects politics and culture, and how some big-name architects have pretty controversial legacies. There’s also talk about how social media is changing who gets a say in design, why Art Deco stands out as a bold American style, and what went wrong with the Eisenhower Memorial. It’s a fun but thoughtful look at how architecture shapes the world around us—and why it might be time to bring back some beauty.

In this episode, the guys take a wild ride through some of their favorite (and not-so-favorite) movies, pitching hilarious and over-the-top ways to make them better. They kick things off by reworking Forrest Gump, asking what would happen if the timeline got even weirder. From there, it’s all about spicing up films with time travel, body swaps, and other ridiculous plot twists. Things really go off the rails when they turn Conclave into an action-packed thriller with ex-special forces priests fighting terrorists—and you’ll never believe who becomes pope. They even connect The Shape of Water to Waterworld, turning it into a Kevin Costner origin story. It’s a fun, offbeat conversation full of movie rewrites, what-if scenarios, and just the right amount of chaos.
