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.
