We talk about taking breaks without explanation, why we only record when we actually have something to say, and what happens when hobbies and creativity start to feel forced. The conversation moves through: • Snowboarding in Germany for the first time • Why snowboarding doesn’t have to be expensive • Trying new hobbies as adults (padel, sports & competitiveness) • Music taste, genre snobbery & “objectively good” songs • TikTok drama, influencers & the Tana Mongeau / Tara Yummy situation • Growing up online as older Gen Z • Feeling out of place in internet culture • Productivity, dopamine, doomscrolling & reading • Turning hobbies into tasks & struggling to switch off A relaxed but thoughtful episode about trying new things, ageing online, and figuring out how to enjoy life without everything becoming content or a checklist.
