Ariana Ain't Grande
This week on Zoning Out, Jordan Centry, Jason Allen King, and Jonathan Williams dive into chaos with everything from fake YouTube apology videos to defending their ICE comments.   In This Episode: YouTube apology culture and monetizing fake sincerity, ICE backlash from last week’s episode & responding to angry commenters. Is criticizing ICE a crime? (Spoiler: no.) Ariana Grande’s appearance sparks debate – is it concern, body shaming or both? Do old people still make out? A surprisingly deep dive into intimacy and aging. Comedy Club drama: rowdy crowds, Champagne Rooms, and “Rachel”. Can you clone your dog? Tom Brady did. Would You Rather: $5K/month for life OR perfect teeth forever? Ancient aliens, Star Trek socialism, and the importance of humor in advanced civilizations. It's a lot.    Plus: Friends with benefits in your 70s? Jonathan’s show hijacked by a senior couple’s shocking confession. Jordan’s stand-up weekend at Laughing Skull in Atlanta. Jason’s Duckworth’s feature weekend + more tour stops coming soon.  Three’s Comedy Tour heads to the Cain Center for the Arts in Cornelius, NC – March 10th!  Follow: @ZoningOutPodcast | @JordanCentry | @MrWilliamsComedy | @KingJasonAllen   Subscribe to hear unfiltered takes on comedy, culture, and chaos every week.

Kanye's Apology
In this explosive episode of Zoning Out, the guys dive headfirst into the theory that Oprah Winfrey may have popularized fatphobia — and back it up with receipts. From the infamous "Fat War" between Raleigh & Durham to Oprah’s decades-long Weight Watchers partnership, we unpack how one of America’s most beloved figures may have shaped toxic body norms.   Also in this episode:  Should billionaires even exist?  Does taking Ozempic make Oprah the villain?  Remember when ODB made fantasy a classic (and chaos)?  Would you give up your favorite artist’s music if it meant they never did anything terrible? (Looking at you, Kanye, Chris Brown, Louis CK, Harvey Weinstein…)   Comedy chaos includes: "No Ethical Billionaires" – our Billie Eilish-inspired rant; The Most Wild Studio Story Ever (ODB & Mariah Carey) ; Jordan's Oprah Conspiracy enters the stand-up stage; The Artist Controversy Draft – who stays, who goes? Lot Lizards vs. Ozempic – a metaphor no one asked for Jason’s Carnival Cruise Risk & comedy road updates   Subscribe to hear unfiltered takes on comedy, culture, and chaos every week.  Follow: @ZoningOutPodcast | @JordanCentry | @MrWilliamsComedy | @KingJasonAllen

Ol' Dirty AWS
This week on Zoning Out, we open with laughs and life updates — from Instagram milestones to failed juggling goals. We also explore the massive AWS outage that briefly broke the internet and debate whether the world needs an “offline holiday.” Later, we get personal about sacrifices for stand-up comedy, missing once-in-a-lifetime concerts for club gigs, and drawing the line between passion and overwork. We close the episode reflecting on the passing of R&B icon D’Angelo, the legend behind Voodoo and Brown Sugar — and whether genius justifies being impossible to work with.   Plus:  The wild story of ODB and Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” remix  The sudden closure of the Cherokee Comedy Zone  The myth of cancel culture in entertainment  A candid look at comedy club dynamics and “hobbyist” comics  How smartphones destroyed our ability to read  And a hilarious tangent about Cinemax, VHS tapes, and awkward teenage memories  Subscribe & mash that like button for more comedy, chaos, and culture every week.   Follow us on IG: @ZoningOutPodcast | @MrWilliamsComedy | @KingJasonAllen | @JordanCentry

WOOD You Rather
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.

He's a Bad Bunny
We’re back! Jordan Centry, Jonathan Williams, and Jason Allen King return with another chaotic, hilarious episode of Zoning Out presented by the Comedy Zone. This week we cover: Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show — why MAGA fans are furious, why the NFL wants to go international, and why the name “Bad Bunny” still cracks us up. AI Actress Tilly Norwood — should agents really be signing artificial performers? What does this mean for real actors, authenticity, and the future of comedy? Lot Lizards & Dusty Gas Stations — an off‑the‑rails discussion about truck stops, empathy for objects, and the weirdest flowchart you’ve ever heard. South Park’s latest viral episode — betting on Gaza hospitals, Trump & Satan, and why the show is still undefeated at trolling. Adolescence (TV series) — why this powerful drama about kids, emojis, and hidden languages is some of the best acting we’ve ever seen. Would You Rather: Right‑to‑Die Edition — an unexpectedly serious debate about dignity, religion, and dying on your own terms. Plus: AI in Hollywood, empathy vs. compassion, Kid Rock nostalgia, and why white hearts in texts make us nervous.   Follow & Support: Instagram: Zoning Out Podcast Email: ZoningOutPodcast@gmail.com @jordancentry @mrwilliamscomedy @kingjasonallenpodcastzoningout@gmail.com
