Welcome back to Who Are These Guys?, where Jesse, Jon, and Kurt serve up hot takes, cold facts, and lukewarm sarcasm. This week, the boys tackle the weirdest scoop of all: a breast milk ice cream pop-up in Brooklyn. Yeah, you read that right - breast milk. Don’t worry, it’s “sustainably manufactured.” Because nothing says artisanal like simulated lactation. But that’s not all - an alien spacecraft the size of Manhattan (literally), why Snoopy is cooler than Mickey (fight us), the state of streaming wars, UFC going prime time, and why kids think manga counts as reading. It’s chaos, it’s therapy, it’s WATG? - what else did you expect? Grab your cones, hold the nipple, and let’s go. ⏱️ Timestamps [00:00] Alien Spaceship Approaching Earth [01:46] Snoopy's Cool Factor and Collectibles [07:49] Comic Books and Childhood Memories [10:53] The Evolution of Entertainment [11:00] AI and the Future of Media [15:48] Taking a Break and Future Plans [26:56] Streaming Services and Content Challenges [33:06] UFC's Big Move to Network TV [37:33] The Ocho Channel and Its Bizarre Games [41:08] Alien Spacecraft and Conspiracy Theories [43:17] Mermaids and Other Strange Phenomena [44:47] Breast Milk Ice Cream and Other Oddities [54:46] Reflecting on Past Guests and Episodes [57:35] Jiu-Jitsu and Gym Culture [01:06:09] The Future of the Show and Personal Projects

Welcome to Who Are These Guys? Episode 328! Hosted by Kurt, Jon, and Jesse, this episode takes you on a wild ride through the most bizarre moments and debates you didn't ask for - but absolutely need to hear. From the Philly finger-bang scandal to the quirks of internet legends, we dive headfirst into the strange, the hilarious, and the downright unsettling. We even weigh in on the latest TikTok trends we wish we could unsee. If you like your humor dark, unapologetically sarcastic, and served with a generous side of chaos, you’re in the right place. This week’s highlights include our fascination with the bizarre world of viral videos and the unapologetic declaration that shorts and sandals (for guys) are a hard no. We also break down the jaw-dropping moment when a man got way too friendly with a shark, and why life’s oddities are always better when enjoyed with snacks and questionable behavior. Get ready for a mix of laughs, disbelief, and more than a little side-eye. 🎬 Timestamps:[00:00] AI Relationships and Loneliness [01:58] Birkenstocks and Footwear Preferences [07:29] Public Indecency at a Baseball Game [10:58] Phish Concert Experience [16:31] International Sports Fandom [27:09] Adam Sandler Movies and Comedy [29:37] Debating Netflix's Subscriber Growth [33:27] Nudity in Films and TV Shows [49:31] AI and Social Media Trends [54:05] Animal Videos and Crazy Stories [01:01:36] Rising Rabbit Populations [01:06:20] Complaints and Personal Issues [01:17:55] Minor League Baseball Life Guest & Sponsorship Inquiries - [email protected] US:https://www.instagram.com/__whoaretheseguys/https://open.spotify.com/show/6ysKAh2g8lStJEZOOLS6Ujhttps://www.facebook.com/whortheseguys?https://www.linkedin.com/company/who-are-these-guys-podcast-ny/Podcast by Viola Media: https://viola.media/

Welcome back to Who Are These Guys? - where the sarcasm flows like traffic on the LIE and the wisdom is as questionable as a $1 slice at 3 a.m. In this episode, Jesse, Jon, and Kurt break down the single dumbest way to clean a Jeep (spoiler: it involves a garden hose and a complete lack of common sense). From failed parenting hacks to the dark underbelly of soda, and a deep philosophical dive into why Diet Coke might outlive us all - it’s another classic mix of chaos, comedy, and unsolicited life lessons. We also bet cold hard cash on who notices a camera change first, confess our driving sins (knee driving, anyone?), and debate whether sobriety is harder than dodging potholes in Queens. Coldplay concert scandals get the full WATG? treatment too - like TMZ, but with a Brooklyn accent.  Warning: This episode may cause excessive laughter, nostalgic guilt, and spontaneous trips to Wendy’s - even if you’re listening from the DR.  ⏰ TIMESTAMPS [00:00] A Great Idea Unfolds [01:55] Carpet Cleaning and Dave Matthews [05:30] Parenting Challenges and Lessons [26:34] Driving Adventures and Fast Food [32:54] Personal Reflections on Drinking [38:17] The Human Condition and Societal Pressures [43:21] Public Shaming and Its Consequences [55:55] Marketing and Addiction [58:47] Non-Alcoholic Beers in Movies [01:03:55] Final Thoughts and Reflections

Spoiler: it’s not makeup. In this fireworks-fueled fever dream of an episode, the trio dives deep into: Male makeup trends (is Kurt about to get a Sephora card?), Skincare routines (or lack thereof), Weed waters, foot pics, and the ethics of fart jars, The delicate art of leaving a party without saying goodbye, And how Jacki and Gillian accidentally became the entertainment at an Indian-American backyard rager.

Welcome back to WATG… the podcast that’s as sharp as a Long Island parking lot curb and twice as unforgiving. In Episode 324, JK and Jesse dive headfirst into the kind of chaos only New York sarcasm can truly appreciate. Ever wonder why Kurt hoards Red Bulls like he's prepping for a post-apocalyptic brunch? We break down the absurdity of the 3-for-$8 gas station hustle and explore capitalism's caffeine-laced chokehold on our wallets.  From school lunch waste and “Big Milk” conspiracy theories to Counting Crows nostalgia, Red Bull economics, and whether the meaning of life is just finding the right taco-to-buzz ratio… this one’s got it all. Also: JK makes friends with ChatGPT. Jesse questions Bruce Springsteen’s existence. And we all discover that Dirty Taco is basically church now.

Step aside Law & Order - this is the real story. In this episode of WATG?, we sit down with Michael Dowd, the notorious former NYPD officer at the center of the jaw-dropping documentary The Seven Five. From shaking down drug dealers to ending up on Joe Rogan’s couch (after serving 13 years in federal prison), Dowd holds nothing back. It’s a gritty, hilarious, and brutally honest ride through greed, corruption, redemption, and regret - all delivered with that unmistakable New York sarcasm that says, “Don’t worry, kid, we’ll show you where the Empire State Building is, but we’re judging you the whole time.” Expect wild stories about pocketing coke, losing his badge, pissing off Joe Rogan, and almost getting punked by a New York Times therapist. This episode dives deep into the fine art of racketeering, dirty money, and the blurry line between good cop and bad guy - all told by the guy who lived it. 🎧 Buckle up. This isn’t just another true crime rehash. It’s the podcast equivalent of a marked bill.

Better grab a coffee - or something a little stronger - because this one’s going to take you for a ride. In this unapologetically raw episode, Vin, Kurt, and Jesse pull no punches as they dissect the world’s hottest (and most controversial) topics. From provocative theories about whether we’re already in World War III or just sleepwalking into it, to hard-hitting commentary on what wealth really means in a society of extremes - this conversation doesn’t flinch. They dig deep into the socio-economic realities of Jewish culture, offering both critique and perspective you won’t hear in mainstream circles. And in true Vin fashion, things take a left turn into culinary sensuality when the table debates whether a perfectly cooked steak can actually trigger an intimate memory.  Expect conspiracy theories, political zingers, cultural hot takes, and enough raised eyebrows to start a revolution. No topic is too taboo, and no opinion is off-limits - this is New York, after all. We cover politics, religion, global oeconmics, sex, identity, and war - and somehow still find time to laugh at ourselves. And yeah, it might ruffle a few feathers. 01:30 Cultural Resilience and Success 04:26 Personal Anecdotes and Business Ventures 08:45 Speculations on World War III 27:40 Reflections on Personal Experiences and Violence 35:16 Dealing with Disrespect and Loyalty 39:50 Sportsmanship and Conflicts 45:05 Political Views and Friendships 50:25 Abortion Debate and Personal Opinions 55:11 Secrets and Personal Reflections 01:03:13 Wealth, Power, and Influence

Welcome back to WATG? - the only podcast where a bagel with grape jelly and bacon isn’t a war crime…it’s a legacy. In this week’s episode, Kurt, JK, and Vin dive tongue-first into the criminal underbelly of comfort food - spilling hot takes and hotter grease on everything from 7-Eleven cheese dogs to whether poppy seeds are just dental sabotage in disguise. Is lox really a flex? Are brunch hours a myth? Why were there always porno mags in the woods? These are the hard-hitting questions we tackle while simultaneously questioning our cholesterol. It's a therapy session, a food confession, and a roast of Long Island life - all in one greasy bite. Grab a napkin. It’s gonna get messy. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Intro [05:23] Family Food Legends & Garlic Knot Myths [12:47] Bagel Crimes: Cream Cheese, Bacon & Grape Jelly?

Welcome to Who Are These Guys? (WATG?) - where suburban nostalgia meets blunt-force sarcasm. In this episode, we autopsy the social scene and ask the hard-hitting question: When did hanging out die - and why was the wake at a strip mall Chipotle? From tales of pantsing gone wrong (or right?) to parenting pitfalls, overscheduled kids, dead social lives, AI girlfriends, and suburban existential dread, we meander through it all like three guys lost in a Target parking lot arguing over directions. You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll maybe even question your commitment to PTA meetings and juice box culture. This one’s a ride. Timestamps: [00:00] Intro   [05:23] Pantsing, Frost Valley, and Childhood Degeneracy   [12:47] Suburban Parenting Overload & The Death of Hanging Out   [24:15] All-American Rejects, AI Girlfriends, and Digital Pimping   [30:55] Outro (Plus: Sound Baths & the Rise of the Cold Plunge Cult)

Welcome to WATG? (Who Are These Guys?) - your favorite podcast where sarcasm sizzles hotter than a Times Square hot dog cart in August. In this week’s episode, Jesse, JK, and Kurt dig deep into the TikTok trenches of Mormon mom influencers, plot a semi-legal rave adventure to Montauk (because why not), and spiral into some good ol’ New York neuroticism over espresso orders and end-of-life hypotheticals. It's unfiltered, it's chaotic, it's oddly therapeutic. Whether you're binge-watching Hulu trash or wondering what your DJ name should be, you're in the right place. Timestamps: [00:00] Intro [05:23] Mormon MomTok Madness & Swinger Scandals [12:47] Can JK Survive a Brooklyn Rave on Molly?

Welcome back to Who Are These Guys?—the only podcast where fear of heights and fear of adulthood collide mid-climb. In this episode, we sit down with Erika, a self-proclaimed "part-dirtbag, part-responsible adult," who casually scales 40-foot climbing walls like they’re escalators. Meanwhile, Kurt’s knees are buckling and JK’s already Googling “is there a height limit for excuses?” We talk rock climbing, fear of failure, how not to belay your ex, the existential dread of parenthood, and why adrenaline therapy might be cheaper (and better) than actual therapy. Erika breaks down the difference between bouldering, lead climbing, and what happens when your gear says “nah, I’m out.” It’s funny, terrifying, weirdly inspirational—and somehow still mostly safe. If you’ve ever looked at a climbing wall and thought “that looks like a lawsuit,” this episode’s for you. 🎧 Timestamps: [00:00] Intro [05:23] "You’re Not an Adult, You Just Pay Bills" — Aging, Adulthood & Feeling Like a Fraud [12:47] Erika’s Climbing Origin Story & The 40-Foot Revelation [24:15] Trust Issues, Broken Gear, and Wild Climbing Confessions [30:55] Outro (with bonus pigeon paranoia)

Welcome back to WATG, where the sarcasm’s thick, the takes are unfiltered, and the vibes are somewhere between a deli line fight and a conspiracy theory thread. In this episode, Vin and Kurt spiral gloriously through: 💊 The rise of the gummy supplement mafia - creatine, vitamins, Cialis…if you can chew it, you can sell it. 🤼‍♂️ Nostalgic wrestling rants - from Ultimate Warrior worship to questioning the tight spandex choices of yesteryear. ⚖️ Diddy's legal spiral - can fame outpace justice, and will there ever be a jury that hasn't heard the remix? Plus: bowel movements, Nick’s playoff rollercoaster, animal kingdom death matches, and the real cost of private jets. Oh, and if you're still wiping from the front, we need to talk. 🕰️ Timestamps [00:00] Intro [05:23] Are You Wiping Like a Savage?

Welcome back to WATG, where the sarcasm is thick, the dreams are expensive, and the conversations sound like you’re eavesdropping on three guys at a Long Island diner at 2 a.m. after a funeral and a fifth of bourbon. In this episode, Vince, Kurt, and JK dive headfirst into the fantasy of quitting it all if someone handed them a crisp $5 million check. Spoiler alert: they wouldn't exactly be sipping cocktails in the Maldives—they’d probably still be arguing about whether Staten Island tap water causes memory loss or just bad attitudes. From sleep-deprived rants about money anxiety to philosophical debates on whether they'd help people or just buy a really nice grill, this one’s packed with painfully relatable insights and inappropriate jokes. Plus: stories about drunk coworkers, Disney trip trauma, shady water filtration schemes, and the kind of travel math that only makes sense when you're running on coffee and four hours of sleep.

Welcome back to WATG - where bad decisions are discussed like fine art. In this episode, "$200,000 Weddings and Other Terrible Ideas," your favorite bunch of professional complainers - Kurt, Vin, Jesse, and Sal Zo - tackle life's most baffling disasters: overpriced weddings, raising teenagers, getting mauled by dogs (but not without a fight), freestyle music’s rise and fall, and why HomeGoods is a psychological torture chamber for anyone with undiagnosed ADHD. Expect sarcasm so thick you’ll need a machete to get through it, and hot takes hotter than a summer day on the Belt Parkway.
