All The Feelings • Still Adulting

This week on All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues, Tommy and Pete tackle the tricky duo of jealousy and pride. With a season planned around the seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues, the hosts find themselves two episodes short. Their clever solution? A clip show featuring highlights from their previous discussions on envy and pride, cleverly disguised as a thematic pairing.

The episode dives deep into the nuances of envy and jealousy, dissecting their differences and exploring their evolutionary roots. You'll be treated to a replay of a past humorous attempt to define these often-confusing emotions, complete with an on-topic bit about Cain and Abel. They also revisit their discussion on the evolutionary basis of jealousy, exploring its role in mate-guarding and the fascinating differences in how it manifests in men and women.

Beyond the clip show format, the episode offers fresh insights as well. Tommy teaches the world of daredevil Robert Oberacker's jet ski that one time it met Niagara Falls.

So, if you're curious about the fine line between envy and jealousy, the dangers of unchecked pride, or simply enjoy a good clip show with a twist, tune in to All the Feelings: Sins & Virtues. Just be prepared for some mathematical mishaps, anthropological deep dives, and a healthy dose of shenanigans.

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.
