episode EIGHTEEN: Adulting w/o Instruction Manuals

episode EIGHTEEN: Adulting w/o Instruction Manuals

The 2023 Writers Guild of America strike is over at last!But, for Max, an overthinker who exists, the battle to reclaim his birth name from a faceless streaming service has just begun.Greenlight this, HBO.

In this on-demand after-school special, confused grown-ups Boba-T (no relation to Ice-T), Ethan Drory (AKA Droryboy), and HBO Max (not to be confused with the streaming service) play "hot potato conch shell" and wing their ways through an honest-to-goodness chit-chat about adulting, and how there aren't any instruction manuals for navigating it—or doing it well.

Oh, the places you'll go:

  • why HBO Max rebranding to "Max" was a big bad move
  • manifesting by living in "future tense" ("The Law of Assumption" from Ethan's POV)
  • the struggle of providing value and monetizing your skills as an artist (navigating the Creator economy)
  • why people tend to treat bartenders with more respect than servers
  • how social media is corrupting youth's perceptions of themselves (and the world)

DISCLAIMER: Overthinkers Anonymous is NOT affiliated with HBO and, by extension, does not answer to Warner Bros. Discovery. The guest that self-identified as "HBO Max" in this episode does not represent the streaming service formerly known as "HBO Max" that is now currently known as "Max" (much to HBO Max's chagrin).HBO Max did not disclose the meaning of the acronym "HBO" in his name.It is safe to assume it is not an acronym for "Home Box Office."
