is a low-stakes existential crisis disguised as a comedy podcast for people quietly losing faith in the script of modern life. Each week, comedian and writer Gavin Stephens dissects the absurd machinery of capitalism and culture — from sitcoms to wealth inequality, Baudrillard to people who talk in the movies — exposing the broken myths, invisible rules, and slow-motion collapse we all pretend isn’t happening.
Presented by The Chonilla Network.

We offer our opinions of the locally notorious Eastgate Square robbery by two dudes – one with a gun, the other with a…hammer? Then we all went down the natural progression of “what if we robbed a store?” If you could live forever, would you want to still be able to have a boner? Robot dicks are covered extensively. “We’re supposed to fuck these things, right?” was said in this podcast. Enjoy.
