Foster aka Puppy King Foster aka He Who Rules Over Everywhere The Sun May Touch was found running around on July 4th, 2015 and has remained a free spirit ever since. After allowing himself to be adopted, he now enjoys parks, leaves, squirrels and howling at fire engines.

This week, Pete and Tommy confront the double agents of adult life: your dreams and your spine. From surreal nightmares about misplaced cars to very real betrayals by your own plantar fascia, it’s a full-body descent into the absurdity of aging.
When a parent is back in the dating pool, and it’s somehow both adorable and terrifying. Meanwhile, Tommy learns that traveling with aging parents requires less speed and more patience—and possibly a tactical hot sandwich delay plan.
James Gunn’s Superman reboot flies in with big hopes, bigger swings, and a literal flying dog—and somehow, it works. The Film Board tries to make sense of clone fights, emotional journalism, and whether Supergirl really just called Superman a bitch. (She did.)
What does it mean to apologize like an adult—and why does grief support always feel like a pop quiz you’re destined to fail? This week, Pete and Tommy explore why grown-up regrets are messier than ever, and how sometimes the best support is just showing up with a pizza.
Pete feels like a laid-off CEO now that his kids have moved out, while Tommy wonders why his rescue dog acts like a saboteur at the beach. It’s an episode about growing up, letting go, and what to do when someone pees on footware.
Pete and Tommy take on the emotional chaos of productivity and procrastination, where calendar clutter becomes a spiritual crisis and analog clocks might just save your life. Also, the story of Franz Ferdinand—yes, that one—becomes a surprisingly perfect PSA for checking your to-do list.
Ever started a fight in your head, won it spectacularly, only to realize the other person didn’t even show up to the battlefield? Welcome to adulthood, where conflict is less about actual shouting and more about side-eyeing someone into oblivion while whispering “I’m fine” with enough passive-aggression to wilt a cactus.
This week, Pete accidentally runs for office and Tommy desperately tries to get selected for jury duty—two adults chasing civic engagement like it’s a slightly weird amusement park ride with no height requirement. Along the way, we unpack the absurd beauty of local government, honor the sacred power of the “I Voted” sticker, and guide you through a meditation that ends—quite naturally—in institutional collapse.
Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult—and even harder to keep them? Pete and Tommy dive into the shame, science, and slow fade of adult friendships.
Pete faces the gym. Tommy faces the doctor. Together they unpack protein, strength, and adulting with a pulse over 130 bpm.
