Unoptimized fun

from Sorry I Missed You · host Meg Dalessandro

Why does your brain love things you don’t have to choose? In this voicemail, I get into why background TV, old cartoons, and even the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade feel so comforting right now. We talk about algorithm fatigue, shared attention, curiosity, and how everything somehow started feeling like homework.From Pretty Little Liars nights in high school to texting my mom during Santa’s big entrance, this is a soft little rant about connection, low-stakes discovery, and the quiet joy of unoptimized fun.If this reminds you of your own comfort-watch rituals, tell me!! I love hearing what everyone’s version of unoptimized fun looks like. This is a public episode.
