Halloween Dates, Amazon Layoffs, and America’s Dumbest Kids | Ep. 32 ft. Sterling Hampton IV

In this episode, the guys welcome Sterling Hampton IV, creative multi-hyphenate, film director and founder of COTAM, for a deep dive into the chaos of culture, creativity, and millennial aging. They kick things off with a discussion on why adults stop discovering new music, how TikTok has resurrected 2000s hits, and why we’re all just chasing nostalgia at this point. From there, they touch on the subscription-obsessed future Sterling foresaw years ago, Amazon replacing 500K workers with robots, and whether AI will wipe out the middle class. Halloween plans, “first-date red flags,” and the viral list of places women refuse to go on dates somehow make their way into the mix — along with scientists claiming winter sex boosts immunity (yes, that’s a real study). They also tackle America’s literacy crisis, Nike’s neuroscience shoes, and the story of an eight-year-old kid who let a black widow bite him to become Spider-Man.   Plus: movie scenes they wish they could live in, fantasy football chaos, existential gym thoughts, and Sterling’s hot take on how social media turned everyone into a “character.” 🎵 Music nostalgia, 🤖 robot jobs, and 🕷️ Spider-Man dreams — this one’s pure millennial mayhem.
