    They Talk to Me Like I'm Five

    They Talk to Me Like I'm Five — Thoughts Off The Stem I thought I was a pretty smart person. Then lately, everybody at work started talking to me like I'm five years old. This week Justin asks the question out loud: am I one of the idiots I've been complaining about? From the ordering system where "the cart is a trigger," to the Blue's Clues rule of saying everything three times, to being lectured on a job he describes as "Lego for adults — simpler than putting your pants on in the morning." Also in this one: the resting angry face vs. the mouth-breather blank stare, velcro shoes (he does not wear them — his shoes are slip-ons he tied a long time ago), overthinking vs. underthinking on tired days, the fake argument you replay in your head for two hours after a shift, and why weed at night makes him second-guess himself and sober him the next morning says "f**k that, I didn't do anything wrong." Do you ever feel like this? Does anybody else get talked to like this and start wondering if it's you? That's what he actually wants to know. This week's sponsor: HabitsBeGone.com — Choose to Lose. This is not a diet, it's designed to change your relationship with food, combining weight management, hypnosis, and your determination to change.

    Men Don't Move On, We Just Put It in a Drawer

    What do men actually think women want? Men want to fix the problem and move on. Women ask a million questions. Same situation, completely different brains. This week: meeting my girlfriend's kids and trying not to be too much, Swedish Fish, Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions, compartmentalizing uncomfortable feelings, and why "moving on" is usually just putting shit in a drawer and pretending it doesn't exist. An unfiltered, stream-of-consciousness conversation about relationships, parenting, personality, and the ridiculous ways we navigate everyday life.

    Rented Lamborghinis, Fake Lifestyles, and Where's the Honesty?

    Why does everything feel fake now? Instagram turned everyday life into a highlight reel, influencers started pretending they're living lifestyles they can't afford, and now AI is making it harder to tell what's actually real. This week: fake lifestyles, rented Lamborghinis, AI slop, fake podcast clips, social media, misinformation — and a lesson my dad taught me as a kid after I broke a window and tried to lie about it. Failure is part of actually succeeding. Maybe we don't need everything to look perfect. Maybe we just need people to be honest about what's actually going on.

    Just Make Time? Where the Hell Am I Supposed to Get It?

    Everyone wants your time. Your job, your kids, your partner, your family, your friends, your phone — everybody needs something from you. And when you finally get a couple hours to yourself, somehow you feel guilty for not using them productively. Because apparently the solution is always "just make time." Cool. Where the hell am I supposed to get it? This week: waking up at 4:30 in the morning, a disastrous boxing class, disappearing into my bedroom for some peace and getting bombarded with texts the second I finally sit down — and why sometimes doing absolutely nothing is exactly what you needed.

    We Have a Million Ways to Talk. We're Worse at It Than Ever.

    At work, nobody wants to point fingers, so everyone talks in circles. Nobody wants to hurt anyone's feelings, so somehow everyone ends up more confused. Now we've got phones, texts, notifications, FaceTime and a million ways to reach each other — yet we're somehow worse at actually talking to one another. After a long, exhausting week, I needed a proper smoke day. No b******t. Get high, clean the house, rearrange the living room and let the world roll off its back. A stoned stream-of-consciousness about f****d-up communication, phones, work, getting older, finding a little peace, and why sometimes you just need to get high and rearrange your living room.

    Somebody Needs to Tell the Famous Guy No

    What happens when you become so famous and powerful that nobody around you is willing to tell you no? Justin Barone goes down a rabbit hole about celebrity culture, fame, money, power, yes-men and what happens when people become insulated from criticism. Starting with Michael Jackson and The Verdict, the conversation gets into celebrity scandals, extreme wealth, questionable decisions, conspiracy theories and the strange reality of being surrounded by people who might never tell you you're wrong. Maybe that's the problem with fame. Maybe when nobody can tell you no, eventually you stop knowing when you should hear it. Thoughts Off The Stem is cannabis comedy packed with hilarious observations, personal stories and unfiltered takes on everyday life.
