• Ep 492. Emma Grede, Tucker Carlson, Dave Chapelle, Friend of Foe?
    Apr 27 2026

    In this week’s episode, we unpack the “good intentions” of a few public figures raising eyebrows in politics and pop culture. We ask whether we trust business mogul Emma Grede as she shares unpopular opinions on work culture and motherhood during her book tour. We also dig into Tucker Carlson’s apology for supporting Trump and decide whether or not we accept it. Lastly, we try to hear Dave Chappelle out as he defends his past performance in Saudi Arabia.

    Are these folks friend, foe, or something more complicated? Join us.

  • Ep 489. The Tension Between What Is and What Could Have Been
    Apr 6 2026

    This week, we explore the tension that comes with getting older: reckoning with the life you have while reflecting on the life you didn’t choose. Using the psychological concept of counterfactual thinking those “what if” and “if only” thoughts, we unpack the emotional pull of the road not taken, what our unlived lives seem to promise, and whether we’re longing for something real or simply romanticizing the fantasy.
