Everything's Perfect Except...The Existential Dread
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Donald is in town from Arizona and the Good Mood Beauty Brew is flowing! The conversation immediately spirals into exactly the kind of chaos you'd expect from two besties who haven't seen each other in a while and now proceed to word-vomit every random thought they've had during their time apart.
It starts with Autumn's passionate hatred of the '70s porn mustache trend currently taking over Target and Donald realizing he has been mispronouncing basic words for most of his adult life. From there? It somehow escalates into Common Core math trauma, why cursive disappearing from schools might actually matter, AI replacing jobs, doomscrolling-induced anxiety, Tesla trying to steer Autumn into traffic, printed meat, teleportation theory, robot uprisings, and why the safest long-term plan may honestly just be planting a garden and getting a chicken. Like we said, chaos. You've been warned.
They also break down Autumn's last-minute floor-seat experience at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart, including Usher rising from beneath the stage, Tom Brady roasting Kevin, and The Rock going completely off-script while they watched from close enough to see the teleprompters. Basically: a very normal Friday.
