All The Feelings • Adulting

Welcome to another episode of the global sensation All The Feelings, where we dive into the wacky world of emotions, and today, we're talking about pride. Not the fabulous, rainbow-colored kind (though we love that too), but the emotion of pride.

Pride isn't just a one-size-fits-all emotion. No, it's got layers, like an onion or a particularly tricky lasagna. You've got your authentic pride, the good twin. That's all about feeling accomplished, confident, and victorious. You know, like when you finally assemble that IKEA bookcase, and it doesn't collapse within five minutes under its own weight.

But then, there's the other one—the Draco to your Harry, the Scar to your Mufasa, the hubristic pride. Suddenly, you're not just a cook, you're Gordon Ramsay. You're not just fit, you're a Schwarzenegger. You're not just smart, you're Einstein. You get the picture.

We’re digging deep on pride, and along the way, we've got a little Dickinson, a little Shelley, and a dose of Internet history so old it's yesterday.

What is All The Feelings • Adulting?

All the Feelings, Season 10: Adulting—A Life-Long Course in Feeling Unprepared

You know that moment when you look around and realize, Oh no… I’m the adult in this room? Maybe it’s when you pretend to understand tax brackets. Or when your back starts to hurt because you "slept." Or when you stand in the grocery store, staring at asparagus, wondering if you should be investing in heavy greens futures.

Welcome to All the Feelings Season 10, where your able hosts, Tommy Metz III and Pete Wright, are going to tackle the unspoken truth of adulthood: nobody actually knows what they’re doing most of the time. This season, we’re diving into the emotional chaos of adulting—all the things that, by now, we should have mastered but somehow still make us feel like confused 12-year-olds wearing oversized suits.

We’ll explore the existential panic of estate planning (Wills: Now Featuring Your Inevitable Mortality!), the sheer absurdity of socializing as a grown-up (Why Is Making Friends Harder Than Filing Taxes?), and the shame spiral of arguing (Yes, You Can Still Lose a Fight in Your 40s!). We’ll unpack civic duty, grief, apologizing, and the delicate balance of managing time without feeling like you’re constantly failing an invisible test.

And of course, we’ll get real about the things that make adulthood straight-up weird: why is sleep suddenly a competitive sport? Why does gift-giving induce a full-blown identity crisis? And why does every conversation about homeownership involve so much sighing?

This season, Pete and Tommy are back to do what they do best: explore the emotional absurdity of being human. Because if adulthood is just a long series of pop quizzes, we might as well laugh about it together.
