Justin opens with a deceptively simple idea: “Convenience kills.” What follows is a winding, warm, and sometimes cutting exploration of modern life—from grocery delivery and algorithmic dopamine traps to why so many of us feel the urge to “ragequit” our lives and start fresh.
The trio moves fluidly through personal stories, cultural comparisons, and reflections on emotional burnout, asking: Are we losing our edge in exchange for ease? Or are we finally waking up to what really matters?
This episode blends philosophy, humor, and real-life vulnerability—and might just make you rethink how you order dinner.
