You are panicking right now and need help. So you turn to the internet and you are greeted by a creatine salesman in a PF Changs who starts yelling at you to stop panicking. Does this help??
Adam Macias and the hilarious Viva Rose dive into the weird world of TikTok “panic attack coaches” and the rise of influencer therapy… where the cure might be worse than the panic.Also, in theme of Adam’s one-person-show, Messy Ass Adam is focusing on messy stories this month!
Viva shares a story about a chaotic group chat featuring a Trump-loving theater bro who got kicked out during the George Floyd protests. Turns out his own texts were Chekov's gun, level of foreshadowing for his doucebaggery.
Viva also shares her journey from bathroom breakdowns to declaring she’s officially not mentally ill (just kind of intolerable) - which is also the plot of her one-woman show Hidden Gem, debuting this week at Hollywood Fringe. Meanwhile, Adam talks about grief, sobriety, and meeting Elon Musk on the same day he was supposed to spread his dad’s ashes - aka the emotional chaos behind his show Messy Ass.
Hit play if your algorithm thinks you’re too mentally stable. 🎧🧠💥
