Welcome to the courtroom of chaos, where the judge is petty, the jury is hungover, and the only law we follow is vibes. In this episode, the Apocalypse & Avocados crew dives headfirst into the depths of Reddit’s infamous Am I the Asshole (AITA) subreddit—and spoiler alert: everyone kind of sucks. From a dry wedding where guests had to secretly pay for booze, to a vegan dinner party ambushed by meat-eaters, we’re dissecting messy social dilemmas with our signature blend of sarcasm, honesty, and deeply unsolicited advice. Along the way, we weigh in on sibling jealousy over a dress, a boyfriend’s bizarre stance on period products, and a niece who might just be too honest. Carissa’s back this week, which means the judgments are sharper, the laughs are louder, and the moral compass is spinning like a fidget spinner in 2016. We wrap things up with a ridiculous round of "AITA or Just Socially Awkward?"—including catnapping, friendship freeloaders, and boundary-blind besties. 🎧 Listen in for: Brutal parenting dilemmas (kids say the worst things) The ethics of surprise meat Why generosity is a double-edged lasagna Sound bites like “You’re a bitch” and “You’re a catnapper” Zero actual legal advice—but tons of opinions Because when it comes to the messiness of modern relationships, the real question isn't “Am I the asshole?”—it's “Where do we even begin?”

🎧 Hot Girl Walks and Internalized Misogyny This week, we lace up our sneakers and take a long, emotionally loaded stroll through the twisted world of fitness culture, social media, and—yep—internalized misogyny. From silent cardio competition at the gym to the curated chaos of “Hot Girl Walk” TikToks, we unpack how societal pressure turns wellness into performance, and how influencers, capitalism, and diet culture keep the toxic cycle running.We dive into the double standards of sexuality, the performative nature of mindfulness trends, and the fine line between empowerment and exhaustion. Also: why “What I Eat in a Day” videos should come with a trigger warning, and how body image has turned into a battleground—one we never signed up for.Whether you’re power walking with purpose or spiraling in a matching set, this one’s for you.Takeaways: – Internalized misogyny thrives in “empowered” spaces. – Social media is not a mirror—it’s a funhouse. – Hot girl walks: healing or high-key harmful? – Diet culture is just capitalism in leggings. – Self-worth isn’t measured in steps, smoothies, or serotonin levels.🧠 Chapters include: – Competition in Fitness Culture – Gender & Sexual Double Standards – The ‘Hot Girl Walk’ Phenomenon – Mindfulness, Capitalism & Diet Culture – Living for Likes vs. Living in the MomentSo grab your water bottle labeled “Self-Worth” and walk with us—we’ve got thoughts, questions, and just a touch of rage.

💸 We Can’t Afford to Cry Anymore (It’s Dehydrating) Welcome to late-stage capitalism, where avocados cost $3.29 and therapy is $180/hour—if you’re lucky. With Carissa recovering from sticker shock in the egg aisle, Shaun and Peter spiral into the absolute absurdity of trying to exist in a world where rent is a joke, healthcare is a scam, and your favorite cereal is now a luxury item. From $28 pizzas to suspiciously small bags of chips, nothing is sacred in this week's unpacking of inflation, shrinkflation, and just how many apps are secretly trying to charge you for “inner peace.” We’re talking class rage, racial profiling at checkout, girl math, bro math, gay math, and why the only thing shrinking faster than our bank accounts is the number of chicken bites at Domino’s. This one’s for the tired, broke, and delusionally hopeful. If you’ve ever screamed internally at a grocery store or considered bartering your soul for decent internet speeds, this one’s for you. 🔪 May your budget survive the week, and your iced coffee be strong enough to fight capitalism.
