I Got Pepsi Lime in the Bonus Keyboard

This week we dive into a wide-ranging discussion that touches on personal growth, emotional maturity, and the intricacies of human behavior. We explore the impact of emotionally immature parents on their children and how such traits can manifest in their own lives, often through patterns of behavior that are hard to break. The conversation meanders through the significance of global community versus global market, the challenges of creating a just society, and the potential pitfalls of tribalism. We also touch on the concept of locus of control, the importance of externalizing struggles to cope better, and how AA's belief in a higher power might serve as a mental construct to help addicts externalize their issues. Spencer shares his thoughts on the healing fantasy and how distress can be a signal of deeper issues, while Kevin reflects on the difficulty of controlling one's reactions to external events. This episode is a blend of personal anecdotes, philosophical musings, and a bit of soda tasting! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“What am I?” The podcast trudges on through oblivion. Gone are the days of Jeff and Spencer’s asinine jokery, That Happens chronicles the slow deconstruction of the man Patton Oswalt once hailed as having “incredible comedic timing.” Ranting uninterrupted about daily political minutia or tiktok trends, Spencer occasionally breaks down and questions his life, podcast, and reality itself, as Kevin smiles, pained, trying to pull the show back onto the rails with a listener question or quick-fire rhetorical premise. What was is gone, and what’s left is bitter, battery acid-flavored reality. That Happens.
