    Ding-Dong, the Coffee's Gone Wrong

    What happens when the relentless march of capitalism collides with our deepest, most primal cravings? This week, Pete, Tommy, and Mandy plunge headfirst into a bizarre experiment that straddles the line between genius and madness: the world of branded iced coffees. Forget your artisanal pour-over; we're talking Twinkie, Ding-Dong, Twix, and Snickers-flavored lattes. It's a flavor profile that defies logic, a sensory experience that raises profound questions about the nature of taste itself. Are these just clever chemical concoctions masquerading as nostalgia? Or is there something more sinister at play? The trio grapples with this existential beverage crisis, dissecting each sip with the fervor of a forensic team examining a crime scene. Tommy, a self-proclaimed "non-sweethead," finds himself in a battle of wills against the saccharine onslaught, while Pete, ever the pragmatist, seeks the elusive balance between coffee and candy. Mandy, the instigator of this caffeinated chaos, navigates the treacherous terrain of artificial flavors with a mix of morbid curiosity and genuine delight. As they navigate the perplexing world of branded beverages, the group stumbles upon a surprising revelation: the true nature of "Twinkie" flavor. Is it a tangible ingredient or a carefully crafted illusion? It's a question that leads them down a rabbit hole of food science and corporate intrigue, forcing us to confront the unsettling reality of what we consume.

    Patience & Kindness: The Two Heavenly Virtues of Not Being a Big Dumb Jerk

    Pete and Tommy are back for a two-fer! This time they're tackling not one, but two of the heavenly virtues: kindness and patience. Join them as they explore what these virtues really mean, from navigating grocery store lines to reflecting on the DNC (dated references and all!). They dive deep into the idea of mindful patience, even touching on the ancient practice of Vipassana. Tom tries to cultivate more patience in his daily life, and they both ponder how kindness and patience (or the lack thereof) play out in modern culture, including a half-assed takedown of that Pepsi commercial. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

    Greed: The Dopamine of Desire and that New iPhone Smell

    Temperance: A Surprisingly Progressive Crusade

    Pete and Tom tackle Temperance in this episode of All the Feelings, and boy, do they have some! They dive deep into the history of temperance, from its philosophical roots with Aristotle to the rise of the temperance movement in the US. Expect a hilarious exploration of how "don't get drunk" somehow led to women's suffrage (thanks, Dave!), the surprising connection between the temperance movement and other social reforms, and a healthy dose of skepticism about moral crusades.  Plus, Pete shares a truly horrifying story about his grandfather and a urologist at a golf club that you won't want to miss. So, get ready for prohibition, civic know-how, urinary health and everything in between, plus "Temper Temper," the game show that tests your knowledge of prohibition! ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

    Feeling Green: Our First Clip Show! The Pride & Jealousy Review

    This week on All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues, Tommy and Pete tackle the tricky duo of jealousy and pride. With a season planned around the seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues, the hosts find themselves two episodes short. Their clever solution? A clip show featuring highlights from their previous discussions on envy and pride, cleverly disguised as a thematic pairing. The episode dives deep into the nuances of envy and jealousy, dissecting their differences and exploring their evolutionary roots. You'll be treated to a replay of a past humorous attempt to define these often-confusing emotions, complete with an on-topic bit about Cain and Abel. They also revisit their discussion on the evolutionary basis of jealousy, exploring its role in mate-guarding and the fascinating differences in how it manifests in men and women. Beyond the clip show format, the episode offers fresh insights as well. Tommy teaches the world of daredevil Robert Oberacker's jet ski that one time it met Niagara Falls. So, if you're curious about the fine line between envy and jealousy, the dangers of unchecked pride, or simply enjoy a good clip show with a twist, tune in to All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues. Just be prepared for some mathematical mishaps, anthropological deep dives, and a healthy dose of shenanigans. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

  6. The Diligence Dilemma

    The Diligence Dilemma

    This week on All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues, Tommy and Pete tackle the weighty topic of diligence. It all starts with a seemingly simple question: what does it mean to work hard? But as the duo delves into the nuances of global work cultures, things take a philosophical turn. From the "Huguo Shenshan" spirit of Taiwan's tech industry to the "karoshi" phenomenon in Japan, Tommy and Pete explore how diligence can be both a source of national pride and a potential path to burnout. They ponder the meaning of a "good day's work" in a world where some find fulfillment in building tangible things, while others navigate the abstract world of finance. You might just find yourself questioning your own relationship with diligence - and maybe even yearning for a siesta. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

  7. Gluttony: It's Not Just About the Donuts

    Gluttony: It's Not Just About the Donuts

    This week on All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues, Tommy and Pete explore the sin of gluttony, exploring its historical and cultural evolution. From its origins as a necessary caution against overconsumption in times of scarcity to its modern-day manifestation in our capitalist society, gluttony takes on new and surprising forms. Our insatiable appetite for more than just food has led to a culture of excess, where instant gratification and the pursuit of profit often come at the expense of our planet and future generations. But can we really blame ourselves? Amazon's ability to deliver our every whim overnight has warped our perception of normal. Maybe that has something to do with it? We’ll never know. And speaking of insatiable appetites, Tommy confesses to a gluttonous indulgence of his own: negative fantasies. He's been gorging on imagined slights and criticisms, experiencing what he calls "daymares." Tune in as Tommy and Pete try to unravel the root of these anxieties and explore the ways in which our thoughts can consume us if we're not careful. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

  8. It’s Chastity: You’re Blushing Just Thinking About It

    It’s Chastity: You’re Blushing Just Thinking About It

    This week on Sins and Virtues, Pete and Tommy tackle the surprisingly complex concept of Chastity. While often considered a virtue, Pete makes a compelling case for its inclusion in the pantheon of deadly sins. The episode takes a deep dive into the history of chastity belts, revealing a surprising truth: they were likely never actually used in medieval times. Instead, they seem to have originated as a sort of inside joke that later gained a life of its own, becoming a symbol of male control over women's sexuality. However, in a delightful twist, modern interpretations of chastity devices have emerged, flipping the script and empowering women within certain communities. The conversation then shifts to the historical influence of the church on perceptions of chastity. From vows of celibacy to linking female "hysteria" with a lack of chastity, the episode explores how religious dogma has often been used to control and restrict sexual freedom. Tommy raises a thought-provoking question: can we discuss chastity today without getting bogged down by outdated dogmas? Pete and Tommy wrap up the episode by acknowledging the complexities of discussing chastity in a modern context. They emphasize the importance of personal choice and freedom, encouraging listeners to form their own opinions on this multifaceted concept. Join them next time for another thought-provoking exploration of sins and virtues! ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit our website to learn more.
