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)
