Wair18 Talks About Everything

Tipping has become a normal part of American life, but has it gone too far? In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything, I explain why I don’t believe customers should be responsible for making up a worker’s wages. Restaurant owners should pay their employees a fair living wage, and a tip should be something extra for exceptional service, not something customers feel pressured or guilty into...

Polly (1989) is one of the most underrated musicals ever madeand somehow a lot of people don’t even know it exists. Starring Keshia Knight Pulliam and Phylicia Rashad during the height of The Cosby Show era, Polly had great music, heart, and an incredible cast. In this video I break down why it’s so hard to find, why it became overlooked, and why this movie deserves way more recognition.

Harley Quinn wasn't from the comics Batman The Animated Series created her in one night in 1992. In this video I break down how Paul Dini invented Harley Quinn for a single throwaway scene in "Joker's Favor," why Arleen Sorkin's voice made her instantly iconic, and how DC Comics had to scramble for a year to catch up to its own cartoon with Mad Love. Most fans get her origin...

Drake is one of the biggest music artists of his generation, but before the albums, tours and global fame, Aubrey Graham was a working actor.

What actually keeps people going? In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything , I’m talking about the different things that motivate people. For some, it’s money. For others, it’s family, success, passion, competition, fear of failure, or simply wanting to prove somebody wrong. But motivation isn’t always positive, and it doesn’t always stay the same. The thing that pushes you today might be...

Before Twitch, before esports, before YouTube gaming… there was Video Power. In this video, I break down the full story of Video Power one of the most unique and forgotten gaming shows from the early 90s. A lot of people remember it as a game show where kids competed playing video games… but that’s not how it started. The show originally began as a cartoon-based format featuring Johnny Arcade and...

I started watching South Park as a teenager in high school, and all these years later, I’m STILL watching. But the crazy part is that while Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny barely aged, South Park itself completely evolved. In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything , I look back at my history with the show—from the early days of Kenny dying every episode and Cartman causing chaos to the rise o...

Couch co-op used to be the heart of gaming. Friends sitting on the same couch, trash talking, competing, and reacting to every win and loss in real time. But somewhere along the way, gaming changed. Split-screen disappeared, local multiplayer became rare, and online gaming replaced the social experience that made video games feel special. In this video, we break down why couch co-op gaming was suc...

Spawn. John Stewart. Blade. Miles Morales. Bishop. These are some of my favorite Black comic book characters, but I didn't discover them by reading comics. I discovered them through cartoons, movies, TV shows, and video games. In this episode, I talk about why these five characters connected with me, what made each of them stand out, and why seeing Black superheroes on screen meant so much to...

Most spinoffs struggle to live up to the original show… but every once in a while, one comes along that’s more focused, more developed, and sometimes even better than what came before it. In this video, I break down the rare cases where a spinoff didn’t just continue the story — it elevated it. From expanded storytelling to deeper character focus, these shows prove that sometimes the side story be...

We've all heard it: "You can be anything you want to be when you grow up." But is that really true? In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything , I explore whether this famous phrase inspires children or creates unrealistic expectations. We discuss hard work, talent, opportunity, luck, and whether parents should rethink the way they encourage their kids to chase their dreams.

Why do gamers cheat even when there’s nothing real on the line? In this video, I break down the psychology behind cheating in video games and why it goes much deeper than simply wanting to win. For some players, cheating is about control . For others, it’s about status , recognition, or the feeling of being better than everyone else. And sometimes, gaming becomes an escape , and cheating is a shor...

The night before 9/11, I was doing something completely normal—I went to the Virgin Megastore at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to pick up Jay-Z's The Blueprint at its midnight release. Just a few hours later, everything changed. I woke up to loud banging on the dorm doors with people yelling, "We're at war. Someone attacked New York City." As a member of the U.S. Air Force, that moment instantly cha...

Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked-about topics in the world, but it's also one of the most misunderstood. These days, if someone writes a great script, creates an amazing thumbnail, or produces a polished video, the first reaction is often, "That's AI." Why has AI become an accusation instead of just another creative tool? In this episode of Wair18 Talks A...

Why do complete strangers often become your biggest supporters while people you've known for years barely acknowledge what you're building? In this episode of Wair18 Talks About Everything , I share a personal story from the very beginning of my content creation journey that completely changed the way I look at support. What started as a simple Facebook post thanking one friend who believe...

In this youtube video I talk about how playstation dominated the console wars. For more than two decades, PlayStation hasn’t just competed in the console wars — it’s dominated them. From day one, Sony understood something that its competitors struggled with: games come first. While Xbox constantly shifted its identity and Nintendo chose a different lane, PlayStation stayed focused on what gamers a...

This YouTube video was awesome to talk about. This video was about the skit Men on Film from In Living color. the amazing comedy sketch show. In Living Color pushed every boundary in the early 90s, and Men on Film was one of its boldest sketches. Played by Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier, Blaine and Antoine brought sharp humor, fearless commentary, and unforgettable catchphrases like “Two snaps...

This YouTube episode talks about 80's bullies I thought it was very insightful. If you grew up watching movies in the 80s, you already know this bullies back then weren’t just mean… they were straight-up villains. They weren’t written like normal kids. They were written like final bosses. From characters like Biff Tannen, Johnny Lawrence, Mick McAllister, and Henry Bowers, 80s movies took chil...

In this youtube video that i made a podcast I talk about one of my favorite animated movies Megamind. When Megamind first came out, most people saw it as just another animated comedy. But rewatch it now and you’ll realize it’s way smarter, deeper, and more self-aware than it ever got credit for. This video breaks down Megamind as more than a parody. It’s a story about identity, purpose, and what h...
