Did you ever imagine what the last couple of years would be like? Yeah, so did we. Was it what we envisioned? Er, nope. Whether it's Covid-19, war, systemic racism, politics, celebrities or the general public, there's a lot of disappointment in our veins. Come and share in our woe - it'll be therapeutic. But be warned, this is not an objective show. We have views. A LikeMind Media production

According to various sources that we saw about five minutes ago, the kids are saying they don't feel like they are truly an adult until they are 30. Why? Is it the state of the world? Their parents trying to protect them? The internet? And why can't they read a book? We look at what may be causing this anxiety and whether a good old dose of toxic w…

In this episode we consider things that society just accepts as real but are possible scams. We're thinking seriously normal things - is it culture that has just accepted things as real or is there a potential ulterior motive behind accepted behaviour?

Apparently they are eating the cats, eating the dogs. Which, at first, seems funny, but when you look at where this racist trope comes from, it's a constant theme in the American immigration story.

Because no one is a responsible adult anymore, everyone is blaming others for what's going on. Russia blames a combination of Ukraine, the US and the UK for the Moscow terrorist attack.
