Call Me Limbo

David & Dai

Call Me Limbo is your weekly dose of comedic therapy where pop culture and politics get tossed in a blender with personal stories, improv games, and zero chill. Hosted by Dai and David—two queer best friends with more opinions than filter—the show tackles everything from reality TV and music videos to capitalist hellscapes and Bad Bunny’s underwear. It’s entertainment with a little revolution on the side. Sometimes you’ll laugh until you cry. Sometimes you’ll cry until you’re organizing a union. Either way, we’re here for the drama, the joy, and the work of building a better world—with jokes. Always with jokes. We believe the personal is political, but also… pop culture is too damn fun to ignore. So whether you’re here for the Disney Channel wand impressions or a fiery takedown of billionaires—welcome. You’ve found your people because when they go low.....we go lower. So, Call Me Limbo!

    Salt the Pasta Water: War, Elections, and America’s Democracy Problem

    This week on Call Me Limbo, Dai and David attempt to make sense of a world that feels increasingly upside down. From escalating tensions involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran to surprising election results in Arkansas and Texas, the hosts break down how global conflict, domestic politics, and corporate influence are reshaping democracy in real time. They explore the growing gap between public opinion and political power, the role of identity politics in modern elections, and whether America’s “representative democracy” is actually representing the people at all. Along the way, Dai and David tackle the uncomfortable realities of U.S. foreign policy, the consequences of endless war, and the structural barriers that make meaningful political change so difficult. And because this is Call Me Limbo, the conversation somehow still finds time for Hilary Duff ticket prices, pasta water, and the occasional existential crisis. Topics include: U.S. foreign policy and the Iran–Israel conflictThe global consequences of American military actionSpecial election surprises in Arkansas and TexasIdentity politics vs. ideological politicsVoting access and structural barriers in U.S. electionsThe growing disconnect between voters and political powerIf democracy is supposed to represent the people…  why does it feel like nobody’s listening?

    Attachment Styles & Dating: Eli Harwood on Secure Relationships in an Anxious World

    Attachment styles shape how we date, argue, grieve, and show up in the world, but most of us were never taught how they actually work. In this episode, Dai and David sit down with Eli Harwood (The Attachment Nerd) to break down attachment theory, secure relationships, and why dating is inherently vulnerable. We explore how anxious and avoidant patterns show up in modern relationships, and how to move toward secure attachment without pretending the world isn’t on fire. We also dive into the “attention machine” and its impact on mental health, how to stay informed without becoming emotionally dysregulated, and why denial is such a common coping mechanism in uncertain times. From parenting to politics, grief to community care, Eli makes the case that secure attachment isn’t just personal; it’s cultural. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by dating, doomscrolling, or trying to stay engaged without burning out, this conversation connects personal healing to societal change. Secure relationships don’t happen by accident.  They’re built intentionally. Go follow Eli on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube! Go buy all of Eli's books! Check out all the awesome resources on the Attachment Nerd website! And remember: When they go low… we go lower.
