No one asked for it... except the sauces. This week on the show, Pete and Tom deign to dip.
If you were a member last season, this may come as old news to you, so hang on while I get a little housekeeping out of the way.
See, we stumbled on these sauces from the REDACTED Company and while Tommy was busy talking about how they gave him anxiety, Pete discovered that this was not in fact a simple SauceAccident, it was just a single representative of a whole line of condiments that represent the whole of SauceTrocity suffered upon us, the consumers.
It became a running gag, albeit a dumb one, and we fell in love with it. The gag. Not the Sauces. The Sauces? How could we know if we would fall in love with them? We'd never tasted them. We sat on our podcast bouncy balls and made jokes at their expense, but never had the SaucePerience to back those jokes up.
So, in a member-only episode from last summer, we held a taste test of the sauces from REDACTED Company and their line of REDACTEDSauce condiments. Our experience is what you'll be listening to this week.
But why a rebroadcast, you ask, especially of a subject and sound so disgusting? Because we need you to know what you're getting when you become an official PanicPal and Certified Best Friend of the show. It's this sort of hard culinary investigation that sets What's That Smell? apart from all the other sometimes-funny podcasts about humans and their anxieties.
In closing, if you like it, if you're intrigued by our brand of tasting, we encourage you to become a PanicPal and get your own bespoke podcast feed that includes episodes like this one which the public never hears. Until next year... when desperation rears it's ugly, stupid head.
To everyone who has already joined the club, thank you for helping us keep the lights on and loving what we are able to do with this show. You're the absolute best.
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.
