About this episode

The Outcast Podcast: Celebrities, Tech, and Tomkat’s Viral Madness

Another week, another wild ride with your favorite misfit crew – Tomkat, Memphis, Ramo G, and yours truly, Gentry Thomas. This week’s Outcast Podcast is packed with everything from emotional goodbyes to celebs, to tech glasses from Meta that make you feel like a cyborg, and of course, Tomkat’s twisted take on the news.


Celebrity Deaths in 2025 – A Rough Year for Icons

We start the show on a heavy note, reflecting on the celebrity legends we’ve lost so far in 2025. From Hollywood A-listers to music legends, it feels like the year just started and we’re already saying goodbye to way too many icons. We break down who they were, their impact, and why their work will live on long after 2025.


Sydney Sweeney’s “Jeans or Genes?”

Is it a denim ad? Is it a DNA test? Sydney Sweeney’s latest ad campaign has the internet scratching its head and… well… zooming in. We debate whether it’s a brilliant marketing strategy or just another celebrity cash grab that went weird. (Spoiler: Tomkat has some very specific opinions on this one.)


Meta Ray-Ban Glasses – Do We Actually Need Them?

Meta has teamed up with Ray-Ban for glasses that record your life, answer your calls, and basically let you feel like Iron Man on a budget. We ask the big questions: Are these the future? Are they creepy? And most importantly, are they worth skipping rent for? Memphis thinks he’s already living in The Matrix, so his answer might surprise you.


New South Park Episode – Still Savage After All These Years

South Park has been roasting society for decades, but their latest episode has fans buzzing. We break down what they tackled this time (let’s just say nobody is safe), and why Trey Parker and Matt Stone still have their comedic fastball in 2025.


Deion Sanders Beats Cancer – A Prime Time Victory

In the best news of the week, Coach Prime himself, Deion Sanders, has reportedly beaten cancer. We celebrate his victory and talk about what it means for his coaching career, the players who love him, and the sports world as a whole. If you need a feel-good story this week, this is it.


Tomkat’s Twisted News & Viral Clips

You know we couldn’t end the show without Tomkat diving into the weirdest, wildest headlines of the week. From Florida Man stories to viral clips that make you question humanity, he’s got it all – plus his usual “unique” perspective (brace yourself).


Listen to the full episode now and join us in the conversation. Got an opinion on Sydney Sweeney’s ad? Think Meta glasses are the next iPhone… or just another Google Glass fail? Hit us up on social and let’s get your voice on the next show.
