All the Feelings • The Senses

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 • The Senses?

You've had your senses your whole life. Nobody gave you the manual.

This season, Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III take them one at a time: twelve episodes, twelve senses. First come the five you learned in kindergarten. Then come the five nobody bothered to mention: knowing where your own elbow is with your eyes closed, staying upright, the thermostat war, pain, and the quiet internal voice announcing that you should probably find a bathroom soon. After that comes an episode on the senses scientists are still arguing about, and then a finale on the sense of humor. Humor isn't technically a sense, but it's how we get through the other eleven.

Along the way: the fabric you can't stand against your skin, the voice you hate hearing on recordings (your own), the smell that drops you straight back into your grandmother's kitchen, and so much more.

Same show, same two able and bewildered adults. We used to be called What's That Smell?, so in hindsight we've been a senses show all along.
