Is sex about kindness, or problem solving? Is zit popping about love, or dissociation? Does the endless grind define our lives, and if so, what does it mean that one of us graduated? Our heroic foursome follows the white rabbit down, down, down into the classic themes of therapy: unparentifying, healthy conflict, and most importantly, how to stop screaming so hard you hurt yourself.

As the sun sets on another Coachella, our crew huddles together for a post-festival session that's as vibrant and diverse as the event itself. With James lighting up the mic, we traverse the sensory smorgasbord of music festivals, grappling with the crunch of chiropractic adjustments and the charm of digital avatars. Our tales of tech mishaps blend with nostalgic beats and the financial enigmas of NFTs, while personal revelations about coming out knit seamlessly with the fabric of our digital lives.

Navigating the highs and lows of human experience, we delve into the warmth of childhood memories, the sting of family drama, and the peculiar breakfast habits of uninvited guests. Reflect on a parade of past sexual discoveries, laugh at the awkwardness of public flossing, and join us as we peel back the layers of our past relationships. With the James’ wit in tow, we candidly share insights into the complexities of identity, the heartbreak of friendship loss, and the laughter that ensues from life's unexpected turns.

Ending on a note that's equal parts cautionary and cosmic, we dissect financial scandals that challenge our trust in systems, critique market monopolies, and muse over the enigmatic world of non-profits. As we bid farewell, it’s all gratitude and puns, with our pod family tightly woven in a tapestry of shared stories and experiences.

Were there Dad jokes before the Big Bang? Somehow Scot naming a fish Denzel Washingfin is enough to power this entire episode. We also discus our recent stint as students in a stand up comedy class. We cover the doomerism felt by everyone, Lauren's makeloving dry spell, and if you're lucky, dear listener, we might just say 'I love you.' This episode even features a special bonus at the end: 5 minutes from each of us, from the first time we all did stand-up!
