#163 - Learn to care

from The Middle · host Andy and Roger

🎧 NEW PODCAST EPISODE Episode 163 – Learn to care The Christmas lights are up, the elves are getting freaky, and Andy and Roger are back—armed with Spotify Wrapped and existential dread. Kicking off with a discussion of Santa, chocolate poo, and Barbie pole dancers, this episode spirals into one man’s musical identity crisis and another’s late-night bromance with Joe Rogan. But beneath the absurdity lies something darker. Roger confesses to a midnight panic about AI, humanoid robots, and the death of the corporate job. Andy tries to reassure him with baristas, PhDs, and a surprising amount of Marxist optimism. They debate whether robots will displace both lawyers and latte makers, if owning property is the last refuge of the middle class, and whether career advice is now pointless. It's a Christmas special filled with techno-anxiety, intergenerational angst, and just a splash of Taylor Swift.
