  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 20: We Used to Fix Things Instead of Replacing Them
    May 24 2025

    In Season 4, Episode 20, Embert laments the death of grit and the rise of the replacement mindset. From broken blenders to broken bonds, everything today gets tossed at the first sign of trouble—and he’s here to say: not everything needs to be replaced. Some things need to be repaired.

    This episode features:

    • Embert’s take on why relationships, jobs, and toasters used to last longer

    • A roast of people who “cut off toxic friends” because of snack choices

    • A call to reclaim the art of working through problems—not ghosting them

    • Nostalgic stories about truck repairs, stubborn appliances, and duct tape diplomacy

    • And this mic-drop: “Better isn’t always new. Sometimes it’s just fixed.”

    Expect Embert to wander off-topic twice (once into a rant about rotary phones, and once into a confused recollection of how he met his wife—might’ve been at a DMV, might’ve been at a funeral), but he gets there in the end.

    New episodes drop regularly, as long as Embert doesn’t throw out his mic stand just because it squeaks.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 19: We Didn’t Need Safe Spaces—We Had Standards
    May 23 2025

    n Season 4, Episode 19, Embert sounds the alarm on the “safe space” generation—and not because he’s against support, but because he remembers when strength was the goal.

    This episode is a rally cry to bring back standards, personal accountability, and the kind of discomfort that used to build you, not break you.

    What’s inside:

    • A roast of sensory rooms, healing hubs, and college cry zones

    • Embert’s grandson requesting a “sensory cooldown” after basic arithmetic

    • A nostalgic rant about dodgeball, gym teachers, and walking off injuries

    • A reminder that mental health isn’t the same as mental fragility

    • And the closing line: “If safe spaces worked, we’d all be stronger by now. But all I see is more pillows and less backbone.”

    This one’s funny, sharp, and full of the distracted grandpa energy you didn’t know you needed. Embert forgets what he was saying twice—and still manages to out-debate half the people on the internet.

    New episodes drop regularly, assuming Embert isn’t escorted off the premises of another emotional wellness seminar.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 18: Not Everything Deserves Your Opinion (Especially Yours)
    May 22 2025

    In Season 4, Episode 18, Embert turns his attention to the loudest plague of the modern age: everyone thinking their opinion is sacred. With a mix of frustration, forgotten anecdotes, and strong black coffee energy, he reminds us that not everything needs your input—and definitely not your input, if you haven’t done your homework.

    This episode covers:

    • Why silence is underrated

    • Embert’s grandson live-streaming nonsense about popcorn and “emotional compliance”

    • The rise of insta-experts with zero life experience

    • A brutal critique of buzzword-filled nonsense parading as wisdom

    • And the kind of advice only a slightly distracted, old-school grandpa can give

    You’ll laugh, you’ll groan, and you’ll probably double-check your last post to see if you were the target.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 17: Being Offended Doesn’t Make You Right
    May 21 2025

    In Season 4, Episode 17, Embert takes a flamethrower to the growing belief that being offended automatically makes you right. In a world where emotional reactions are mistaken for moral superiority, Embert delivers a reminder that feelings aren’t facts—and offense is not a credential.

    This episode covers:

    • The weaponization of outrage

    • Why “your truth” doesn’t override the truth

    • A roast of cancel culture crusaders and the Fragility Olympics

    • Embert’s grandson getting grilled for using phrases like “tone policing” unironically

    • And a classic closer: “Just because it hurt your feelings doesn’t mean it was wrong. It might mean you needed to hear it.”

    This one’s for the people who are tired of watching reason get steamrolled by emotion, and logic drowned out by groupthink tears.

    New episodes drop regularly, depending on how many apology tours Embert can stomach before he explodes again.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 16: We Don’t Need More Awareness—We Need More Action
    May 20 2025

    In Season 4, Episode 16, Embert delivers a fiery critique of today’s awareness-obsessed culture. While everyone’s busy “starting conversations,” nobody’s finishing the work—and Embert’s calling it out.

    This episode tackles:

    • The rise of slacktivism over substance

    • Performative caring on social media

    • Hashtag movements that burn out before anything happens

    • Embert’s grandson “raising awareness” for laziness, basically

    • And the mic-drop moment: “Awareness without action is just emotional noise.”

    As usual, Embert blends frustration, humor, and a little wisdom from the generation that got things done without needing a graphic design team for it.

    If you’re tired of talk and ready for results, this one will light a fire under your seat—and maybe under someone else’s too.

    New episodes drop regularly, assuming Embert doesn’t collapse from awareness fatigue himself.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 15: You’re Not “Speaking Your Truth”—You’re Just Loud and Wrong
    May 19 2025

    Season 4, Episode 15. And today we’re talking about something that might be the most abused phrase in modern conversation: “I’m just speaking my truth.”

    Now, listen—if your “truth” can’t survive basic scrutiny, it’s not truth. It’s just noise. Being loud doesn’t make you right. Being emotional doesn’t make you accurate. And repeating it on Instagram with sparkles doesn’t make it profound.

    Segment 1: The Hijacking of Truth
    We used to have one thing everyone agreed on—facts. Now? Everybody’s got their own personal reality like it’s a damn streaming service. “Well, in my truth…” Stop right there. If your truth contradicts reality, it’s not a truth—it’s a narrative. And usually, a really annoying one.

    I asked my grandson to stop using the phrase “my truth.” He said it’s “empowering.” I said, “You know what else is empowering? Knowing the difference between a belief and a fact.”

    Segment 2: The Performance of Honesty
    Let’s be honest—half the time “speaking your truth” is just a fancy way to say “I’m being rude and want applause for it.” It’s weaponized self-expression. It’s emotional entitlement disguised as bravery.

    Your boss gives you feedback? “I’m just living my truth.” No—you’re just resisting accountability. Again.

    Segment 3: The Rise of the Unquestionable
    We’re in a weird spot where feelings are sacred and facts are offensive. People act like challenging someone’s version of reality is an act of violence. No—it’s called discussion. You don’t get to put your opinion in a bulletproof vest and call it invincible just because you cried when you said it.

    Segment 4: Truth Isn’t Subjective
    There’s only one truth. It might be uncomfortable, inconvenient, or not TikTok-ready—but it exists. And you don’t need to brand it, decorate it, or hashtag it for it to matter.

    If we want to fix the mess we’re in, we’ve got to stop pretending emotional storytelling is the same thing as being right.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 13: You’re Not a Victim, You’re Just Annoyed
    May 18 2025

    Description:
    In Season 4, Episode 13, Embert has had it with the rising tide of performative victimhood. From barista mistakes to minor online spats, people are treating every slight as a personal crisis—and Embert’s not playing along.

    This episode is a full-throttle rejection of the culture that confuses mild inconvenience with oppression, and attention-seeking with actual suffering. Embert reminds us that not every uncomfortable feeling is trauma, and not every disappointment is an injustice.

    Highlights include:

    • A roast of people who label every disagreement “abuse”

    • Embert’s grandson getting dragged for calling a failed joke “emotional violation”

    • A passionate defense of real victims being drowned out by whiners

    • A critique of people weaponizing their feelings to avoid accountability

    • And this classic line: “You’re not oppressed. You’re just annoying.”

    He draws a hard line between hardship and high-maintenance. Real suffering exists—but when you cry wolf over every delayed latte or lukewarm take, you disrespect those who’ve faced true adversity.

    As usual, Embert fumbles his way through a few rants, takes a sidebar about people who say “my truth” in job interviews, and comes out the other end with a crystal-clear message: strength starts with honesty—and for a lot of folks, that honesty begins with admitting they’re just sensitive, not scarred.

    If you’re tired of watching grown adults act like martyrs over minor slights, this episode is your therapy—and unlike theirs, it’s free.

    New episodes drop regularly, assuming Embert hasn’t been victimized by another viral video of someone crying in their car over eye contact. Tune in and toughen up.

  • It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 12: Feelings Aren’t Facts (Even If You Write Them in Cursive)
    May 18 2025

    In Season 4, Episode 12, Embert takes aim at one of the most popular lies in modern culture: if you feel it, it must be true. Not so fast. With his usual mix of sarcasm and old-school logic, he reminds us all that feelings are real—but that doesn’t make them facts.

    This episode is a direct hit on therapy-speak overload, online emotionalism, and the rise of the “my truth” movement that’s got everyone treating their personal discomfort like federal law.

    Highlights include:

    • Embert’s takedown of “emotional accuracy” as a get-out-of-reality free card

    • A sharp critique of people who treat disagreement like psychological warfare

    • The rise of “lived experience” as a way to override facts

    • Embert’s grandson getting roasted for saying that being challenged is “emotional violence”

    • And this gem: “Just because it hurts your feelings doesn’t mean it’s incorrect. It just means you’re not ready to hear it.”

    Embert draws the line between emotional expression and emotional dictatorship—and calls for a return to resilience, logic, and perspective. He’s not saying feelings don’t matter—he’s saying they don’t rewrite math, history, biology, or basic truth.

    As always, he takes a few detours (including a sidebar on decorative journals and essential oil diffusers), but eventually sticks the landing with a rallying cry for balance: feel, yes—but also think.

    If you’re tired of people shutting down debate with their “vibes” or confusing hurt feelings with objective harm, this one’s for you.

    New episodes drop regularly, or whenever Embert sees another infographic about “emotional boundaries” written by someone who’s never had a real job.
