Warm Fuzzies & Cold Pricklies

Deviant Lounge

The Warm Fuzzy Tale By Claude M. Steiner

What happens when scarcity is just an illusion? Warm Fuzzies & Cold Pricklies explores the deeper layers of human connection, generosity, and fear through a timeless fable that mirrors the world we live in today. At its core, this story is about trust—how it’s built, how it’s broken, and how a single idea can shift an entire society from abundance to control.

In this episode, we enjoy the origins story behind Warm Fuzzies, Cold Pricklies, and the deception that led people to hoard what was once infinite. Is this a parable about love? Capitalism? Social conditioning? Maybe all of the above. Join me and think how a simple exchange of kindness can transform relationships, communities, and even entire belief systems.
