Modern life is exhausting, absurd, and somehow full of invisible rules nobody agreed to. This podcast turns all of that into comedy, one topic at a time — awkward group chats, fake productivity, impossible admin, strange social rituals, and the ongoing performance of pretending to be a functional adult.

    The fake relaxation of vacations

    We say vacations are for rest, but then we plan them with the intensity of a military operation. The whole joke is that modern people don’t know how to relax unless it becomes a project, so we come back from “rest” needing recovery time from the thing that was supposed to heal us.

    The mystery of people who wake up happy

    People who wake up early happily do not act like they just got up. They act like they have already won the day, and somehow your day too. The whole mystery is not that they wake up early. It is that they seem emotionally pleased about it, which makes everyone else feel like a failed side character in their morning.

    The gym and its species

    The gym is supposed to be about health, but it really works like a tiny human zoo where everybody is acting out their personality in public while pretending it’s about discipline.
