All The Feelings • Still Adulting

In this episode of Sins and Virtues, we're tackling the fiery emotion of Wrath. Join Pete and Tommy as they delve into the history and psychology behind this powerful emotion, exploring its destructive potential and its surprising presence in pop culture.

From ancient Greek philosophers to modern-day action heroes, the guys examine how wrath has been perceived and portrayed throughout history. They discuss the cathartic appeal of violent media, questioning whether indulging in fictional fury actually influences real-world aggression.

Tommy shares a personal anecdote about experiencing wrath while driving, particularly the phenomenon of the "beep back." This leads to a thought-provoking discussion about the triggers and consequences of road rage, and whether a little tire-deflating superpower might come in handy sometimes (hypothetically speaking, of course).

Tune in for a captivating conversation that explores the multifaceted nature of wrath, its potential for both harm and entertainment, and the delicate balance between righteous anger and destructive rage.

What is All The Feelings • Still Adulting?

All the Feelings, Season 11: Still 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.
