    Subscription Spiral: Broke, Confused, Subscribed
    In this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, the hosts tumble headfirst into the modern hellscape known as the subscription economy—where everything from your favorite shows to your weather app demands a monthly fee, and somehow you’re still watching ads. 🫠

    From streaming services that cost more than cable to forgotten fitness apps quietly draining your bank account, we unpack the emotional damage (and actual damage) of being perpetually subscribed. Expect rants, nostalgic sighs for the days of DVDs and LimeWire, and a collective scream into the void over consumer culture in the digital age. We also manage to tie in some spicy takes on political absurdity, healthcare nightmares, and—because this is still Apocalypse & Avocados—a blunt reminder to leave trans people alone.

    Takeaways include:

    • We’re all accidentally subscribed to something.
    • Ads should not exist in paid services, and yet, here we are.
    • Subscriptions have replaced ownership and peace of mind.
    • Social media is next in line to charge us for basic existence.
    • The only thing we truly own anymore is our financial despair.

    It’s petty, political, and painfully real, just like us.

  • Minisode 1: Gym Bros VS. Therapy Chats
    2025/05/09

    Minisode: Gym Bros VS. Therapy Chats
    Because sometimes the only reps we’re getting in are emotional.

    In our very first Apocalypse & Avocados minisode, Carissa dives headfirst into the barbell-laden battleground between mental health and physical fitness. Joined by Peter and Shaun (aka the chaotic support group you didn’t ask for), the trio unpacks big questions like: Is therapy leg day for your brain? Can protein shakes cure anxiety? And why does sugar taste like safety?

    We’re serving up hot takes on alcohol, mocktails, emotional eating, and why sodium might be your frenemy. It’s a no-holds-barred chat about why your wellness routine might be one green juice away from a breakdown—or a breakthrough.

    Highlights include:

    • Trying to work out without crying (or while crying, no judgment)
    • Replacing tequila with therapy and hoping for the best
    • Emotional support mocktails
    • Dragging sugar like it ghosted us
    • Wondering if sodium is secretly gaslighting us

    🎧 Press play for wellness wisdom, a few unhinged rants, and the validation you didn’t know you needed. Bonus points if you listen while on a treadmill... or in bed with chips. We don’t judge.

  • Judgment Is My Love Language
    2025/05/08

    We said what we said—and yes, we do judge. In this episode of Apocalypse and Avocados, the gang unleashes a symphony of side-eyes and savage truth bombs as they spiral through their biggest pet peeves—from flaky friends and ghosting gurus to pop culture chaos and social media nonsense. Nothing is safe: not that one friend who never shows up, not Ozempic influencers, not even Britney.

    We’re talking queer-coded behaviors, friendship friction, the weird way people misuse words online, and why judgment isn’t always a bad thing—it might just be our love language. Plus, we get real about body image, relationship boundaries, and the unrealistic BS fed to us by celebrity culture.

    Expect hot takes, cold truths, and one too many rants about hair in the shower. Judgment? Activated.

    Chapters Include:
    💅 Gadar or Radar: Queer Coded Behaviors
    💢 Everyday Annoyances & Flaky Friends
    📱 Pop Culture Meltdowns
    💉 Weight Loss Drugs & Body Image Real Talk
    💬 Relationship Red Flags & Communication Fails

    Takeaways:
    – Humor is therapy.
    – Social media is a lawless swamp.
    – Communication > silent resentment.
    – Judgment isn't hate—sometimes it’s just honesty... with flair.

  • Oops, My Petty is Showing...

    Oops, My Petty Is Showing…

    This week on Apocalypse and Avocados, we’re pulling back the curtain on our pettiest selves—and yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds. From the silent treatment that screams volumes to the “accidental” office microwave sabotage, we’re diving deep into revenge stories, workplace pettiness, and the little indignities that push us over the edge.

    Why do we act petty? Does it feel good? (Spoiler: the answer is yes.) We explore the social dynamics behind petty moments, share laugh-out-loud personal anecdotes, and unpack the life lessons hiding under all that drama and extra cologne.

    Whether you’ve ever plotted your own silent revenge or just enjoy a juicy story about someone else’s meltdown in the group chat, this episode is for you.

    Topics include:

    • Petty moments in relationships and the workplace
    • Cultural perspectives on revenge and pettiness
    • Humor as a coping mechanism
    • Why being petty can feel so satisfying
    • Finding the line between expression and destruction

    🎧 Come for the drama, stay for the emotional growth.

    P.S. Here is a link to that road rage Instagram Reel we were talking about 💩: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJIpURvpv1l/?igsh=MWo4cHlsZjd5OXhveQ%3D%3D

  • Astrology Made Me Do It: Using the Stars As Scapegoats
    2025/04/28

    ✨ In this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, we’re dragging zodiac signs, blaming Mercury retrograde for our bad decisions, and using the stars as scapegoats for... pretty much everything. Accountability? Never heard of her.

    We’re spilling tea on birth charts, messy relationships, and why millennials and Gen Z treat astrology like a cosmic coping mechanism. From tarot tantrums to spiritual glow-ups, it’s a chaotic ride through modern astrology — with jokes, shade, and some suspiciously personal callouts. (Sorry, Libras... kinda.)

    🔮 Topics include:

    • How astrology excuses our worst behavior

    • Zodiac signs and relationship drama

    • Birth charts and deep dives into your messy soul

    • Mercury retrograde: myth, menace, or just vibes?

    • Why spirituality looks a lot like meme culture now

    🌟 The stars made us do it — and we have zero regrets. Hit play, blame your moon sign, and let's get unhinged.

    📱 Dating app misadventures (featuring the world's worst bios)
