From the publisher
What is this World? with Ryan & Ashley is a raw, live weekly show where two regular people discuss live in real time to whatever the algorithms threw at us over the past week across TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube, and beyond. Viral clips, funny fails, intriguing headlines, human quirks, light politics, celeb moments, mind-bending oddities, pop-culture chaos, if it caught our eye and made us go “wait, what?”, we’re bouncing it off each other live, riffing, laughing, debating, and pulling in the live audience to join the conversation. No heavy agendas, no scripted takes, just unfiltered discussions to the stuff that actually crossed our feeds. The show evolves with us and with you.
