Episode 20: The Things We Thought We’d Have Sorted By Now

When did you realise adults don't actually have everything figured out?

In Episode 20 of Friends in Low Places (FILP), the lads compare the lives they imagined they'd have with the ones they actually ended up living and discover that most of us are still winging it.

From careers, parenting and relationships to money, DIY, pensions and all those "grown-up" life skills we thought we'd have mastered by now, they ask a simple question: Are we all just bluffing our way through adulthood?

There's also the FILP Top 10 Things Adults Should Have Sorted By Now, plenty of honest admissions, a few uncomfortable truths, and proof that experience doesn't always come with confidence.

Maybe none of us ever really grows up... we just get better at looking like we know what we're doing.
