No Filter, Just Feelings (and F-bombs)
In this delightfully unfiltered episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, your favorite trio—Carissa, Peter, and Shaun—peel back the perfectly filtered layers of social media to talk real authenticity in the age of clout-chasing. From TikTok trends and music culture to the emotional chaos of parenting and the hot mess that is current events, they serve up laughs, rants, and some unflinching honesty (yes, including that not every baby is cute).

Expect a messy, millennial, queer-coded journey through content creation, gender identity, viral nonsense, and why humor might just be our last defense in a world that feels like it’s running on vibes and iced coffee.

🔊 Tune in for unhinged takes, surprising depth, and the kind of conversations you scream “YES, EXACTLY” at in your car.

Eco-Anxiety and Other Things I Can’t Recycle

Is the planet burning or is that just our anxiety again? (Spoiler: it’s both.)

In this chaotic, cathartic episode, the hosts unpack eco-anxiety, corporate greenwashing, and the emotional spiral of trying to save the world with a reusable tote. From personal sustainability fails to pop culture hypocrisy, we dive into why recycling your oat milk carton won’t fix ExxonMobil—but hey, it might ease the guilt.

We’re talking:

• Climate change dread and the mental toll it takes
• Greenwashing and why your “eco” soap might be lying
• Celebrity climate offenders (looking at you, private jets)
• The myth of the individual solution
• The tragic comedy of trying (and failing) to be sustainable

Come for the climate crisis, stay for the emotionally compostable content. 🌱

ChatGPT Take the Wheel (and Crash It)
💥 Technology is taking over. And honestly? It's kind of judging you.

From your morning playlist to your doomscrolling addiction, AI is everywhere—and in this episode, we’re side-eying it from every angle. The Apocalypse & Avocados crew dives headfirst into how artificial intelligence is messing with our relationships, our productivity, our sanity… and yes, even our gym routines.

We talk about AI influencers that make you feel ugly, ethical black holes like deepfakes and misinformation, and the moment Carissa realized ChatGPT might actually be her most supportive relationship. 🙃

We ask the real questions:

• Can you be ghosted by a chatbot?
• Is it rude not to say “thank you” to Siri?
• Are we still creative if AI writes our resumes and roasts?

Buckle up—because this AI episode is funny, chaotic, slightly unhinged, and definitely not written by robots (except the parts that were).

🧠 Topics include
• AI in our daily lives (even when you don’t notice)
• Misinformation and deepfakes: who’s accountable?
• Politeness to AI = better vibes?
• Productivity hacks vs. digital dependence
• How AI impacts mental health and authenticity
• Carissa vs. an AI boyfriend
• Avocado-generated poetry (yes, really)

Subscription Spiral: Broke, Confused, Subscribed
In this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, the hosts tumble headfirst into the modern hellscape known as the subscription economy—where everything from your favorite shows to your weather app demands a monthly fee, and somehow you’re still watching ads. 🫠

From streaming services that cost more than cable to forgotten fitness apps quietly draining your bank account, we unpack the emotional damage (and actual damage) of being perpetually subscribed. Expect rants, nostalgic sighs for the days of DVDs and LimeWire, and a collective scream into the void over consumer culture in the digital age. We also manage to tie in some spicy takes on political absurdity, healthcare nightmares, and—because this is still Apocalypse & Avocados—a blunt reminder to leave trans people alone.

Takeaways include:

• We’re all accidentally subscribed to something.
• Ads should not exist in paid services, and yet, here we are.
• Subscriptions have replaced ownership and peace of mind.
• Social media is next in line to charge us for basic existence.
• The only thing we truly own anymore is our financial despair.

It’s petty, political, and painfully real, just like us.

Minisode: Gym Bros VS. Therapy Chats
Because sometimes the only reps we’re getting in are emotional.

In our very first Apocalypse & Avocados minisode, Carissa dives headfirst into the barbell-laden battleground between mental health and physical fitness. Joined by Peter and Shaun (aka the chaotic support group you didn’t ask for), the trio unpacks big questions like: Is therapy leg day for your brain? Can protein shakes cure anxiety? And why does sugar taste like safety?

We’re serving up hot takes on alcohol, mocktails, emotional eating, and why sodium might be your frenemy. It’s a no-holds-barred chat about why your wellness routine might be one green juice away from a breakdown—or a breakthrough.

Highlights include:

• Trying to work out without crying (or while crying, no judgment)
• Replacing tequila with therapy and hoping for the best
• Emotional support mocktails
• Dragging sugar like it ghosted us
• Wondering if sodium is secretly gaslighting us

🎧 Press play for wellness wisdom, a few unhinged rants, and the validation you didn’t know you needed. Bonus points if you listen while on a treadmill... or in bed with chips. We don’t judge.

We said what we said—and yes, we do judge. In this episode of Apocalypse and Avocados, the gang unleashes a symphony of side-eyes and savage truth bombs as they spiral through their biggest pet peeves—from flaky friends and ghosting gurus to pop culture chaos and social media nonsense. Nothing is safe: not that one friend who never shows up, not Ozempic influencers, not even Britney.

We’re talking queer-coded behaviors, friendship friction, the weird way people misuse words online, and why judgment isn’t always a bad thing—it might just be our love language. Plus, we get real about body image, relationship boundaries, and the unrealistic BS fed to us by celebrity culture.

Expect hot takes, cold truths, and one too many rants about hair in the shower. Judgment? Activated.
