## Resource

The guys talk Stranger Things Season 5, do the bleak math of middle-aged drinking, and the perverse little happiness spike that follows a truly harrowing puke. Speaking of puke, the guys discuss the sacred childhood joy of sick-day daytime TV (Judge Judy supremacy, soap operas as emotional concrete) and finally, Daniel and Soren spiral into TV industry doom: Netflix getting into the podcast game, prestige TV existing only as a side quest for tech companies, and the impossible task of ending a beloved show without stepping on an internet landmine—aka Finale School. 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Dynamics 02:32 Reflections on Aging and Drinking 05:22 Hangover Remedies and Personal Experiences 08:16 The Nature of Vomiting and Its Aftermath 11:06 Parenting and Children’s Fear of Vomiting 14:00 Nostalgia for Childhood Illness and Daytime TV 17:35 Soap Operas and Acting Experiences 26:28 The Unique Challenges of Soap Opera Acting 33:33 The Evolution of Television and Soap Operas 40:43 The State of Modern Television 51:52 The Art of Writing and Ending a Series Thanks to Rocket Money for sponsoring.
