What drives us to chase revenge—and does it ever truly satisfy?
In this electrifying episode, Mike, Toliy, and Eldar dive deep into the messy psychology of revenge, sparked by heartbreak, societal pressures, and the ego’s relentless need to prove itself. From breakup-fueled “glow-ups” to battling outdated norms, they unravel how the quest for vengeance often masks a refusal to face ourselves. Expect raw stories, unexpected detours—like rock climbing revelations—and a bold challenge: is revenge just a exhausting illusion we’re better off ditching? Tune in for a mind-bending ride that’s equal parts hilarious and profound.
