Why We Can’t Stop: Addiction in Everyday Life - #22

In this episode, we unpack addiction in its many forms — not just the obvious ones, but the subtle ways it shapes our daily lives. From phones, caffeine, and productivity guilt to childhood fixations and comfort TV, we ask what separates a “habit” from something that owns us.

The conversation takes its usual detours, from spiders and weird neighbors to soda science experiments and cartoons, but always circles back to a bigger question: are we in control of our cravings, or are they in control of us?

It’s an honest, funny, and sometimes unsettling look at how addiction threads through modern life, often in places we least expect it.
