All The Feelings • Adulting

Tommy remembers just how much he wants to forget while Pete brings a reminder that we are all fungible resources.

Show Notes

Tommy remembers just how much he wants to forget, while Pete brings a reminder that we are all fungible resources. It’s actually a conversation that celebrates one of Tom’s biggest personal gaffs, as he remembers it, while once again walking around a wedding. Are we more afraid of everyone else remembering our foibles, or of being forgotten ourselves?

But seriously, the deepfake podcast future is here. Just head over to Podcast.ai and close your eyes as you press play. It won’t be long before you let go of the oddities and start to see these things as legit. That, friends, is scary.

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.
