The Couch Theory

by Ged Alexander/Katy Fielding

The Couch Theory -"Where comfort meets chaos. Two hosts on a couch, theorizing the universe without ever standing up. "Core Philosophy Couch Theory = the radical idea that all great (and terrible) human insights happen when you're horizontal and unbothered. Science, pop culture, conspiracies, relationships, AI, politics—everything looks different from the couch. It's lazy genius meets deep philosophy meets absurdity. Episodes "prove" wild theories using evidence, guest stories, and live experiments while never leaving the couch. It's part Armchair Expert, part Hot Ones (the discomfort is mental/physical laziness), part Rogan unfiltered—but 100% couch-bound.
