63. #63 - If Karma Took Requests
58:40||Season 2026, Ep. 63Question of the Week: What would you wish on your worst enemy?We kick off with Weekly Reddit and the answers range from petty inconvenience to “okay… you didn’t have to go THAT far.” It turns into a surprisingly real conversation about what people actually mean when they say they want karma, and why self-awareness might be one of the harshest things you could ever wish on somebody.From there we spiral into everything else we actually talked about: immortality as punishment (movie talk included), random life observations, and a whole tangent about texting men you shouldn’t, reopening old situations, and how boredom will have you acting reckless if you don’t stay offline. There’s also a throwback story involving moonshine, bad nights out, and learning your limits the hard way.Then we pivot into music nostalgia, birthday expectations (and responding to messages), and a rant about streaming commercials, Amazon/Prime, and the ridiculousness of prescription drug ads, plus how targeted ads decide what your life looks like based on one purchase. And yes, the cat gets her moment too.It’s funny, petty, uncomfortable in spots, and very “friends yapping” the whole way through.Two lives. Two perspectives. One unfiltered conversation.
