A “death doula” is a real thing now, and that one phrase opens the floodgates. We’re sitting in rainy Kentucky, catching up like we always do, and suddenly we’re asking the kind of question that sticks with you: when life gets hard, do we need new kinds of support or are we just renaming what community used to do for free? We dig into what a death doula might actually provide, why the idea feels comforting to some people and unsettling to others, and where the line is between guidance and performance. 

From there, the talk widens into the bigger trend we can’t ignore: new jobs that didn’t exist a decade ago. We get into influencers, “mega” influencers, and the surprising reality that someone can graduate from a top school and choose online influence as a full-time career, then make serious money doing it. Along the way we laugh about paying experts to “do your colors,” the shrinking supply of basic knowledge in everyday places, and why we’re skeptical that a 20-year-old can teach us much, even if the internet says otherwise. 

We also hit the practical stuff that makes modern tech hard to dismiss: Apple Watch health features, heart rhythm checks, and why some upgrades feel less like luxury and more like reassurance. Then we follow the money into OnlyFans and creator culture, where niche interests can be monetized in ways our younger selves would never have imagined. If you’ve ever felt impressed, confused, or slightly left behind by how fast the world changes, you’ll feel right at home with this one. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves debating modern life, and leave a review with the strangest “new job” you’ve heard of.
