This week’s Zoning Out is PACKED.
Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, Jason Allen King, and special guest Hillary Staple dive deep into pop culture chaos, ethical dilemmas, and comedy community drama—with plenty of laughs in between.
Topics we cover: Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl album — our honest
review, spicy lyrics (“his love was the key…”), and why Taylor’s villain era
might be her boldest yet.
The “Black Phase” theory — why pop stars like Miley and Ariana get less pushback, and how Taylor’s image shift is playing differently.
LeBron’s new Hennessy x DraftKings ad — is it the next “Decision”?
Is this GOAT behavior, or just gross branding?
The Saudi Arabia comedy festival — Would you take $15 million to perform there? We debate moral tradeoffs, freedom of speech, and whether everyone has a price.
Weirdest movie titles ever — Quaxer Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx, Freddy Got Fingered, Hell House LLC, Origins: The Carmichael Manor, and more.
Comedy vs. Improv crossover in Charlotte — why standups are joining improv troupes and the growing synergy on the scene.
Plus: Justin Bieber vs Timberlake, John Mayer slander, the return of
Reading Rainbow, the Bechdel Test, and a Would You Rather that turns
existential.
Special guest: Hillary Staple- Improv comic, reader, future bookstore owner
(and maybe beekeeper?)—and the Swifty we needed to break this album down!
