  • Field of Screams | Abuse, Silence, and the Dark Side of Halloween

    Field of Screams | Abuse, Silence, and the Dark Side of Halloween
    2025/11/03
    In this special episode of the What Are We Doing Podcast, I break down one of the most unsettling stories to come out of Lancaster County in years. The name Field of Screams is known across Pennsylvania as a Halloween staple, but a recent Spotlight PA investigation exposed a much darker story behind the haunted hayrides and fake blood. What was once considered a seasonal thrill ride is now at the center of serious allegations involving years of misconduct, ignored complaints, and failures in leadership that left teenage volunteers unprotected.According to multiple reports and interviews, more than a dozen current and former volunteers described a pattern of harassment, inappropriate contact, and manipulation by adult staff and supervisors dating as far back as 2006. One of the key voices in the investigation, Danica Gabrielson, shared her experience working under then-manager Mike King, who she says crossed boundaries while she was still a minor. She describes how attention and trust turned into control and abuse of power. Other volunteers claim they went to the owners, Jim and Gene Schopf, only to see the same people remain in charge, season after season.The story doesn’t stop there. A follow-up investigation revealed that Christopher Roarball, a man previously convicted of indecent exposure, was allowed to volunteer alongside minors between 2022 and 2024. The company claimed their background checks didn’t flag his conviction because they only searched the past seven years, even though Pennsylvania law allows checks to go further. Legal experts have already said that’s not a valid excuse, and former volunteers say this proves how little oversight exists behind the scenes at the attraction. While Field of Screams continues to deny wrongdoing, insisting no criminal allegations have been filed, the evidence and firsthand accounts tell a very different story.In this episode, I go through the full timeline, the official responses, and the ongoing concerns about how these attractions are managed. The goal isn’t to sensationalize a tragedy or stir outrage, but to ask why so many people knew and did nothing. The Field of Screams brand has always been about fear for fun—but the reality here is much worse. This Halloween, before you buy a ticket or step onto that hayride, ask yourself who you’re supporting. Because the scariest part of Field of Screams isn’t inside the haunted house. It’s what’s been happening outside of it for years.**********Original SpotlightPA Article: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/06/field-of-screams-harassment-teenagers-volunteers/Haunted Attraction Let Convicted Offender Volunteer with Minors:https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/popular-pa-haunted-attraction-allowed-man-convicted-of-exposing-himself-to-children-to-volunteer-alongside/article_f7650ab3-969a-442f-b5c6-9bc20aede1d1.htmlUpper Leacock Fire Chief resigns:https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/upper-leacock-fire-chief-resigns-replacement-unclear/article_d1823938-ee06-11ee-b360-6790dab51d12.html**********Disclaimer: We at the What are We Doing podcast want to make it clear that the views and opinions expressed in this video belong solely to the speakers or authors and do not represent the views and opinions held by YouTube, its partners, or its owners.We must also emphasize that the information contained in this video has been produced with no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding the validity, accuracy, reliability, completeness, legality, or usefulness of what is said or expressed.

  • Halloween Special: Ghost, Monkeys, Murder Plots & Mozzarella Sticks | What Are We Doing Podcast #212

    Halloween Special: Ghost, Monkeys, Murder Plots & Mozzarella Sticks | What Are We Doing Podcast #212
    2025/11/03
    It’s Halloween, and I’ve officially hit rock bottom—dressed head to toe as a Chili’s mozzarella stick. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wanted to complete the costume with me. My wife said no. My dog ran away. So here I am, half a mozzarella stick, full of regret, wearing my Radical Rita shirt, still begging Chili’s to acknowledge my existence. What are we doing?This week’s episode kicks off inside the “Chili’s Mozzarella Stick Studios” where I give a full breakdown of spooky stories that somehow got real. First up, Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin finds out mid-episode that his wife was arrested for hiring a hitman to kill him. That’s right—she literally tried to turn him into one of the ghosts he’s been chasing for 46 seasons. From ghost hunting to murder-for-hire, this story has everything. Netflix true crime, prison pen pals, and a reminder to maybe double-check your spouse’s DMs.Then, we head down to Mississippi where the chaos continues. A tractor trailer overturned on I-59, releasing a pack of lab monkeys across the highway. Yes, real monkeys. The kind that make you question whether the apocalypse already started and nobody told us. Officials say they aren’t infected with anything, but if you see one in your backyard—maybe don’t try to pet it. Meanwhile, in Texas, a Spirit Halloween shopper lost control of their pet monkey inside the store. It’s diapered, it’s swinging from the rafters, it’s dodging animatronics. Folks, leave your monkeys at home.But it wouldn’t be a true Halloween episode without a trip into the darkness of global corruption. Over in the UK, Prince Andrew has officially been stripped of his royal titles after his Epstein connections resurfaced. He’s no longer a prince, no longer royal, and now going by “Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.” Imagine being demoted so hard you lose your last name. Buckingham Palace called it “necessary.” Translation: “You embarrassed us on an international level.” What are we doing?And while the world burns, our own government’s been shut down for a month. SNAP benefits are about to expire. Forty-two million Americans could lose access to food because politicians would rather argue about who gets credit than actually fix the problem. Banks are running dry, liquidity is disappearing, and nobody’s doing their job. Welcome to America, the scariest haunted house of them all.To wrap it up, we talk about Neo, the $20,000 humanoid robot from 1X that supposedly makes your life easier. Except it doesn’t. It can barely open a fridge. The company says it’s AI-powered, but the demo reveals a guy in another room wearing a VR headset controlling it manually. We’re buying expensive robots that can’t even fetch water. What are we doing?It’s chaos from top to bottom—haunted marriages, royal meltdowns, escaped monkeys, government breakdowns, and robots pretending to be smart. Happy Halloween, folks. Stay safe, tip your servers, and for the love of mozzarella sticks, hit that subscribe button before the Chili’s PR team ghosts me too.

  • $30,000 Pokémon Card & Trump’s $350 Million Ballroom + Thanksgiving Meal Deals - What are We Doing!?

    $30,000 Pokémon Card & Trump’s $350 Million Ballroom + Thanksgiving Meal Deals - What are We Doing!?
    2025/10/25
    This week marks episode 211 of the What Are We Doing Podcast, and I’ve officially hit the “too busy to breathe” point. I’m on a 12-day nonstop run of weddings, events, podcasts, and marketing chaos, all while trying to remember to eat something other than leftover mac and cheese. October? No days off. What are we doing?This episode kicks off with a PSA to brides, grooms, and anyone who plans to serve food to a crowd: hire Mission Barbecue. Forget the “mom-and-pop” caterers who promise love in every bite but deliver cold broccoli and chaos. Forget the fancy chefs who run out of oven space. You want food that tastes good, shows up on time, and doesn’t need a miracle to stay warm? Mission Barbecue. That’s it. End of debate.Then I move into the part of the weekend where my friend Kaisa got married. I DJ’d the wedding as my gift, and in return, her husband Paul gifted me a 1999 graded 8.5 holographic Gengar Pokémon card. We looked it up. Thirty thousand dollars. Thirty thousand. I cried in my car. You try keeping a straight face when someone hands you a $30k ghost Pokémon as a thank-you. What are we doing?After that came a trunk-or-treat event for local preschools, hundreds of kids, and a K-Pop Demon Hunter dance party. Because apparently, I don’t know how to say no to anything in October.But before we can even think about Halloween, it’s time for the annual Thanksgiving Meal Olympics. Aldi, Walmart, Costco, Giant, and Honey Baked Ham are all fighting for your turkey money. Aldi wants $40 to feed ten people. Costco says $199 for eight. Walmart undercuts them all with $38, but you have to cook everything yourself. Giant’s claiming $20 but only if you’ve spent $400 already. And then there’s Honey Baked Ham, where you pay for peace, quality, and not having to bake anything. Two minutes in the oven. Done. Best ham or turkey of your life. What are we doing?From there, we head straight into politics. Donald Trump has pardoned Binance CEO CZ after a $4 billion fraud settlement—right after CZ’s company invested $2 billion in Trump’s family crypto business, “World Liberty Financial.” Totally a coincidence, right? The man literally said money laundering isn’t a crime. Then he tore down the East Wing of the White House to build a $350 million ballroom. Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and half the Fortune 500 are helping pay for it. And when people asked about the construction, the White House released a slideshow including Clinton’s scandal, Obama’s “terrorist visitors,” and Hunter Biden’s cocaine bag as part of “historical context.” What are we doing?And if that circus wasn’t enough, the New York City mayoral debate turned into an SNL sketch. Candidates argued over parades. One said all parades matter. Another said he’s too busy to attend. Someone asked if they’d create new parades. A third guy looked like he was being held hostage. Absolute chaos.We wrap the episode with the $20 million diamond heist at the Louvre. Some say it’s real. Others think it’s PR for “Now You See Me 3.” Either way, it’s proof that someone in Paris didn’t spring for $30 Wi-Fi cameras. If they want those diamonds back, they better call Nicolas Cage. What are we doing?Episode 211 is pure madness from start to finish: bad caterers, rare Pokémon, Trump’s crypto pardons, Thanksgiving hacks, a mayoral debate about parades, and a diamond heist conspiracy.So before you go—hit the like button.
