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.

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
