Ever met someone who can solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded… but can’t figure out how to send an email without crashing the entire Wi-Fi?
In this hilariously uncomfortable episode, we dive into the glorious mess of being smart — and still making absolutely dumb decisions. From overconfidence and emotional blind spots to brainy people overthinking themselves into disaster, this one’s for every genius who's ever locked themselves out of their own house.
🎯 What’s inside:
• Top 5 ways smart people sabotage themselves
• Why your IQ can’t save you from dumb life choices
• Game time: Real-life “smart fails” that will make you feel better about your own bad decisions
• A moment of science (yes, we’ll still sneak in the research... with jokes)
Warning: If you're smart, this episode may hit too close to home. Bring your ego — we’re serving humble pie.
🎧 Hit play, laugh, reflect, and send it to that one friend who thinks they’re always the smartest in the room.
