“You didn’t run a marathon. You didn’t build a company. You didn’t even leave your bed today. So why are you so mentally and physically drained?”
With this provocative question, Marc Azoulay opens a deeply revealing solo episode focused on the hidden causes of brain fog in Gen Z men. Azoulay unpacks a generation that’s paradoxically overwhelmed, not from doing too much, but from doing almost nothing at all.
“These guys aren’t lazy,” Marc explains. “They’re burnt out from doing absolutely nothing—and that’s a different kind of exhaustion.” The episode paints a vivid picture of a generation caught in the grip of digital burnout. Marc highlights battling screen addiction and struggling with motivation issues. Despite being more emotionally aware than generations before.
He shares that Gen Z men regularly experience dopamine fatigue, low drive, and a loss of meaning. They’re spending hours in front of screens—scrolling TikTok, switching between games and social media. They are engaging in short-form content that constantly shifts their attention. “It’s not relaxing,” Marc says. “It’s incredibly draining.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
