Nothing’s gonna save us—not music, fashion, film, or this podcast.

from Not Well · host Bobby, Jim & Friends

Send us Fan MailAfter acknowledging a broken recording and their general exhaustion, Bobby and Jim talk through a frightening health scare involving Penny, the uncertainty it creates around an upcoming Seattle and Portland trip, and the strangely clarifying experience of confronting the possible loss of a pet. From there, the episode becomes a fast-moving tour through their shared obsessions and grievances: a handwritten invitation to a Bible drama, tax-free churches and imaginary missionary safaris, gorillas and emotionally devastating octopuses, and a phrase that supposedly makes anyone sound as if they are speaking in tongues.The centerpiece is their postmortem of a nude camping trip. Bobby explains why camping’s endless transitions and tiny logistical steps are incompatible with his brain, while both hosts relive the pool, rain, a blood-pressure scare, an overenthusiastic horse-whip performer, unwanted homemade alcohol, and petty campground authority. The conversation then shifts into sex, Charli XCX, nightlife fatigue, fake-feeling DJs, video-game escapism, creative stagnation, money, housing, and the search for joy in ordinary rituals.The final stretch covers political spectacle, stomach trouble, Palm Springs sugar-daddy fantasies, the illusion of happiness, a suspected neighborhood stalker, strangers forcing shots on people, furry nightlife, and the looming Seattle trip. Beneath the jokes is a surprisingly cohesive question: when the old forms of fun stop working, how do you build a life that feels alive again?Support the showAs always you can write us at [email protected] or call us at ‪(614) 721-5336‬ and tell us your Not Wells of the week InstagramTwitterBobby's Only FansHelp us continue to grow and create amazing content, like a live tour or just help fund some new headphones when needed.
