All The Feelings • Still Adulting

There was a time, not so long ago, when a Goldfish was a Goldfish. One fish. Cheddar. A simple contract between snack and human. Then, somewhere between then and now, the aisle went insane — and Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III, with fellow bewildered adult and pod snacker Mandy Kaplan, walked straight into it.Want to hear the whole delicious episode?

Season 11 may be on hiatus, but Pete and Tommy have the audacity to show up anyway — because something happened at Denver International Airport that absolutely cannot wait until fall. Tommy arrived in New York City with everything he needed for a great trip, and then he didn't. The story involves a maintenance worker with a unique communication style, a rubber glove, and a level of IP water resistance certification that turns out to be more relevant to everyday life than one might expect. It's a tale of panic, improvisation, and the humiliation of writing someone's address on the back of a band-aid.Pete, meanwhile, has been quietly assembling a life on the outside of his house while the inside remains a work in progress. There are composite deck planks. There is outdoor furniture. There is a sectional. And somewhere out there, a cabinet renderer is looking at a completely different kitchen. Plus: Pete's been writing at a pace that suggests either something has clicked or something has broken, and either way, there are books coming.Before they let you go, Pete and Tommy have locked in the agenda for at least one of the remaining hiatus check-ins — starting with a blind tasting event that will require both significant financial investment and a willingness to find out what Pikachu tastes like. Everything is fine. Everything is coming up Feeling Friends.Of course, if you're listening to this episode in this public feed, you won't hear most of that.

Season 11 closes with what Pete and Tommy insist is a whimper, which is how you know it is absolutely not a whimper. They handed each other their worst possible topics — trash and recycling for Tommy, seasonal stuff for Pete — and accidentally made an episode about deception, ancient biology, and a rhinoceros named Cacareco who won a 1959 São Paulo city council seat in a landslide.Tommy did, in his own words, "too much research" on recycling, which he now says as a warning. The chasing-arrows symbol is not what you think it is, the plastics industry has known since the eighties that none of this was going to work, and your Starbucks cup is currently booking a one-way flight to Senegal. Pete's seasonal-stuff segment begins with mums — the flower, not your mother — and lands somewhere near the claim that 84 genes in your body are in active dispute with late-stage capitalism about what time of year it is.Thanks for listening to Season 11. We'll be back. ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member. Visit allthefeelings.fum/join to learn more!
