Doc and Zig, over the span of a month, recorded a reaction series to X-Men 97. So much sexual tension! So many plot lines! How many X-Men stories should we tell? All of them! Jubilee is the chosen one? Is Scott a bad father? Why is Beast so dumb? Cable is the biggest loser. How gay are Xavier and Magneto? Is Gambit Black? Xavier is always wrong. Nightcrawler is the GOAT!
Also we got the first two Avengers: Doomsday trailers and Zig is quite hype for DOOM. Have Tom Holland and Robert Downey, Jr. become their characters?

The Michael Jackson movie tops the box office. Stephen Colbert gets taken off the air. Thomas Massie loses his primary. Is culture going through enshitification? Are we scared of new ideas? Or is Backrooms going to change that perspective. Performers are bailing left and right from Trump's Freedom 250 birthday party. Who should perform at that concert if it was normal? The Knicks have the chance to heal America. Someone is legitimately trying to use the Air Bud defense and someone called "The Mushroom Murderer" makes appearances in this week's Florida vs Everybody.

Ziggy dusted off a classic bit and is taking it to a show to defend. The worst cheesecake ever. Chud the Builder FAFO'd. Zohran balances the budget and shows everyone that it is possible. Gerrymandering sucks and apparently so does Kevin Hart.

Spotify has the audacity to think it knows the top ten artists in hip-hop. New Gorillaz album dropped. TI and 50 are beefing for some reason. Ziggy has some wild hip-hop takes that Doc is so ready to swat down. How painful is stepping on a LEGO compared to other minor injuries? Who would have a bigger bounty: Osama Bin Laden or Jeffery Epstein? Bananaball becomes official! The WNBA is on the verge of a labor strike. Punch the Monkey might close this horrible timeline we are in, one that includes Jonathan Majors being in a movie directed by Ben Shapiro...

We also talk TikTok vs. Vine nostalgia, viral dating trends like “zipcoding” and “shrekking,” Paul Walker’s 2 Fast 2 Furious Evo going up for auction, and the Being Eddie documentary.

In this week’s episode of The Flood, Doc and Ziggy cover everything from the surreal to the stupid. Ziggy kicks things off with his Halloween triumph as Cameron Frye from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off before the crew dives into anime news, the Dodgers’ wild Game 7 finish, and why Victor Wembanyama might actually be from another planet.
They also unpack the latest chaos from D.C.—Trump’s Gatsby party at the White House, SNAP benefits expiring mid-shutdown—and take aim at Elon Musk’s latest project, Grokopedia, the AI-powered Wikipedia no one asked for.

This week on The Flood, Ziggy recounts his firsthand experience at the nationwide “No Kings 2.0” protests while Trump reacts with AI propaganda. Doc reminds everyone that Schoolhouse Rock literally had a song called “No More Kings.” From there, they unpack Tyler, the Creator’s misunderstood lyrics, Hasan Piker’s dog controversy, and Peter Thiel’s oversimplified theory about One Piece.
Shohei Otani is really good at baseball. His once-in-a-lifetime game—three home runs, ten strikeouts, and a performance so good Doc calls him “the MJ of baseball” for several reasons. The show wraps up with Florida vs Everybody, featuring meth kisses, Mothman festivals, zoo-fed house pets, pirate treasure, and a woman’s revenge on the wrong car.

This week on The Flood, Doc and Ziggy slice into “Devil’s Pie” — a week full of temptation, hypocrisy, and culture melting under its own heat. From Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl backlash to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl announcement, from inflatable frog protests in Portland to billionaires literally waging a poop war, everyone’s fighting for their piece.
We talk about The Onion’s new mockumentary Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile, Nicki Minaj allegedly quitting music and blaming Jay-Z, and the leaked Young Republican group chat that confirms what everyone already suspected. Plus: MTV kills off its music channels for good, DirecTV puts your face in commercials, and the Pentagon has some new rules for the press.
It’s all sin, spectacle, and self-promotion — served hot, messy, and algorithm-approved.

This week, Doc and Ziggy trace the blurred line between art, scandal, and survival in the modern circus we call America. From Jimmy Kimmel’s FCC feud and overnight reinstatement to the viral meltdown over Charlie Kirk firings, the culture war is back on primetime. We break down why blue states keep topping the “quality of life” charts, why half the jobs online don’t exist, and why a Saudi comedy festival feels like satire writing itself. Plus: Doja Cat’s “Gorgeous” video, vaporwave nostalgia, and the One Battle After Another box-office surprise. Somewhere between heaven’s socialist paradise and Elon’s name in the wrong files, we try to make sense of the noise.

This week on The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, we dive into chaos from every corner of culture and politics. From Young Thug nostalgia and T-Pain’s legacy, to Clipse making history at the Vatican, to Drake throwing shade at DeMar DeRozan, the rap world is buzzing. Meanwhile, Kanye’s lawsuits, Cardi B’s pregnancy news, and streaming services you’ve never heard of keep the headlines moving.
We break down the Charlie Kirk assassination, why the video got banned on social media, and what it reveals about purity tests in modern debates. On the entertainment front, SNL returns, The Smashing Machine earns massive praise, and Demon Slayer: Infinite Castle smashes box office records.
Plus: Fran Drescher’s SAG-AFTRA exit, inflation creeping back, and whether Ziggy is really going to eat.

This week on The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, the boys dive deep into the chaos of September 2025. From anime weddings and mariachi band restraining orders to Trump’s National Guard drama and the latest round of Epstein lore.
We break down the comedy civil war (Rogan cult, Colbert cancelled), ask if America’s facing “the great shrinkage,” and read an email that finally settles the question: did anyone actually do Dicks Out for Harambe?
Plus — Young Thug’s crash out, Drake’s confusing album rollout, digital decay, Zuckerberg claiming the end of smartphones, Cardi B’s lawsuit, and why Gen Z is ditching dating apps for in-office mingling.
It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s America in 2025.

Ziggy’s back on his bullshit playing Magic again, but that’s just the warm-up. In this episode of The Flood, we unpack Epstein’s birthday letter (yup), a sketchy tea app hack, and Donald moving nuclear submarines like it’s Risk night at Mar-a-Lago.
We roast the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, question whether AI is leaking our private convos, and mourn the loss of OpenAI’s “chat to search engine” pipeline (RIP to accidental oversharing). Plus: a Daisies by Justin Bieber rabbit hole no one saw coming, and a look back at his chaotic career arc.
Doc’s skeptical. Ziggy’s spiraling. The machines are listening. Welcome back to The Flood.

This week on The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, we dive headfirst into the cultural storm: The Clipse drop bombs with "Chains & Whips" featuring Kendrick Lamar. Is hip-hop’s old guard is taking the reins again? We get into the Diddy trial fallout, Grok’s fascist rebrand, and the ICE pizza box ad you have to see to believe. Plus: Texas floods, the “King of the Hill” revival, Jurassic Park & Superman hot takes, and a breakdown of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that just passed Congress. Somewhere in there, ICE agents are miserable, and we find time to ask—who’s really winning 2025?

In this episode of The Flood with Doc and Ziggy, we spiral through the culture vortex: from Sabrina Carpenter’s Madonna comparisons and album cover controversy to the ever-growing conservative wave influencing Gen Z and Gen Alpha. What simple object could you take away that destroys human society?
We dive into the political confusion surrounding Zohran Mamdani’s New York ranked choice voting win, debate the role of celebrity activism, and question whether luxury branding has finally collapsed under its own weight. Also on deck: aliens, plain packaging, Squid Game backlash, Iran misinformation, and T-Pain’s unsolicited advice to Drake.
Is the backlash to new music just fear of change? Are opulent brands the new villains? Should Ziggy become a vampire? We don’t promise answers—but we do promise chaos.
