Welcome to All the Feelings: Adulting, where fitness isn’t about abs, it’s about survival—and emotional support comes with a side of pepperoni.
In this episode, Pete confronts a lifelong love-hate relationship with exercise (spoiler: mostly hate) and shares how working with a trainer finally reframed strength as energy storage, not just punishment. Protein becomes more than a punchline—it’s a power-up. Tommy, meanwhile, peels back the anxious layers of adult healthcare avoidance and delivers a heartfelt exploration of iatrophobia—the very real fear of doctors. From raccoon-infested crawl spaces to gym myths, shame spirals to colonoscopy bragging rights, this episode is probably not your way to health, strength, and medical care in adulthood.
Bonus: historical sexism, magical poop, and the emotional complexity of car snacks. Welcome to adulthood.
