Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and death. Please listen with care for yourself and others. We are all we have.This week on Call Me Limbo, we start with prairie dogs (don’t ask 😭)… and somehow end up questioning reality, the system, and what any of this is actually for.Dai and David get real about what it feels like to live in a world where everything seems just slightly off. From misinformation and political chaos to burnout, purpose, and the pressure to “do the right thing” in a system that doesn’t reward it. This episode goes deeper than expected.We talk about: – questioning what’s real in today’s media landscape – the exhaustion of trying to live with integrity in a broken system – why so many people feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or just tired – and the growing sense that the life we were promised… might not existAnd because we’re still us, we also get into the Megan Thee Stallion breakup, modern dating chaos, and why some people really need to get it together.It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s a little too real.If you’ve been feeling like nothing quite adds up lately… yeah.

This week on Call Me Limbo, Dai and David cover everything from rising gas prices to the bigger question: are we actually moving forward… or quietly going backwards?We kick things off with recession-coded behavior (yes, we’re all suddenly experts at squeezing every drop of gas), before diving into major policy updates across the country. From Colorado’s controversial labor changes impacting farm workers to expanding abortion access on college campuses, this episode breaks down what’s happening—and why it matters.Then we head to Virginia, where a major redistricting vote just passed, sparking legal pushback and raising bigger questions about fairness, power, and who really controls elections.Along the way, we also tackle: – the reality behind “gerrymandering” – why fairness in politics isn’t static – and how everyday people are being affected by decisions made far above themAs always, we keep it honest, a little chaotic, and rooted in what everyday Americans are actually experiencing.If you’ve been feeling like something doesn’t quite add up lately… you’re not alone.Show Notes:CORRECTION: Texas no longer has a six-week abortion ban.

Content Warning: Toward the end of this episode, we discuss suicide.  If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.This week on Call Me Limbo, we ask a very simple question: are people okay right now? And the answer… is no.Dai and David dive into everything from rising crime narratives to the ways society feels increasingly off balance. What starts as a conversation about culture quickly spirals into something deeper: why everything feels tense, disconnected, and just a little unhinged.And because this is Call Me Limbo, we also address a growing public concern that no one else seems brave enough to tackle… if your feet are crusty, we need to talk.From politics to personal hygiene to the state of the world, this episode is funny, chaotic, and a little too real.If you’ve been feeling like something is “off” lately… you’re not alone.Support the showSign Up for Our SubstackBecome a Patreon MemberShow Notes:Denver police swarmed Montbello woman's 70th birthday party with guns drawn after nearby ShotSpotter alert, lawsuit alleges (Denver Post)2026 Kimberly-Clark distribution center fire (Wikipedia)Ex-Virginia Lt.

This week’s episode starts with a conversation about musty dates and quickly spirals into one of the funniest and most chaotic discussions yet.

This week’s episode starts chaotic and somehow gets even more unhinged, in the best way.We break down the latest culture war hypocrisy, including a Supreme Court ruling impacting LGBTQ rights, anti-trans legislation, and how “freedom of religion” is increasingly being used as a shield for discrimination.Then things take a turn.We talk about: • The Supreme Court conversion therapy ruling • Anti-LGBTQ legislation and hypocrisy • “Freedom of religion” vs freedom to discriminate • The obsession with transgender athletes • Political propaganda & moral inconsistency • Why “bring back shame” might actually help societyAnd then… Dai introduces a new segment called, "It's A Fool." Starting with a full breakdown of the hygiene crisis happening in gyms, public spaces, and apparently… grown men’s underwear.Yes.

This week, we go there.From fears of a military draft to questioning everything we were taught about America, this episode turns into one of our most honest conversations yet.We unpack the rising enlistment age, why fewer Americans qualify for military service, and what it says about the state of the country. Then the conversation deepens — into war, propaganda, nationalism, and what happens when you stop believing in the American dream you were promised.We also talk about:• The military recruitment crisis• Millennials waking up from the American Dream• War in the Middle East & media distrust• Why people join the military (and why many don’t)• Propaganda, misinformation, and truth fatigue• Feeling lost politically in 2026• Rejection, purpose, and building something meaningful• Why community matters more than everThis one gets personal.

Attachment styles shape how we date, argue, grieve, and show up in the world, but most of us were never taught how they actually work.In this episode, Dai and David sit down with Eli Harwood (The Attachment Nerd) to break down attachment theory, secure relationships, and why dating is inherently vulnerable. We explore how anxious and avoidant patterns show up in modern relationships, and how to move toward secure attachment without pretending the world isn’t on fire.We also dive into the “attention machine” and its impact on mental health, how to stay informed without becoming emotionally dysregulated, and why denial is such a common coping mechanism in uncertain times. From parenting to politics, grief to community care, Eli makes the case that secure attachment isn’t just personal; it’s cultural.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by dating, doomscrolling, or trying to stay engaged without burning out, this conversation connects personal healing to societal change.Secure relationships don’t happen by accident. They’re built intentionally.Go follow Eli on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube!Go buy all of Eli's books!Check out all the awesome resources on the Attachment Nerd website!And remember: When they go low… we go lower.
