This week on All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues, Tommy and Pete explore the sin of gluttony, exploring its historical and cultural evolution. From its origins as a necessary caution against overconsumption in times of scarcity to its modern-day manifestation in our capitalist society, gluttony takes on new and surprising forms.

Our insatiable appetite for more than just food has led to a culture of excess, where instant gratification and the pursuit of profit often come at the expense of our planet and future generations. But can we really blame ourselves? Amazon's ability to deliver our every whim overnight has warped our perception of normal. Maybe that has something to do with it? We’ll never know.

And speaking of insatiable appetites, Tommy confesses to a gluttonous indulgence of his own: negative fantasies. He's been gorging on imagined slights and criticisms, experiencing what he calls "daymares." Tune in as Tommy and Pete try to unravel the root of these anxieties and explore the ways in which our thoughts can consume us if we're not careful.
