Welcome to Who Are These Guys? (WATG?) - where suburban nostalgia meets blunt-force sarcasm. In this episode, we autopsy the social scene and ask the hard-hitting question: When did hanging out die - and why was the wake at a strip mall Chipotle?
From tales of pantsing gone wrong (or right?) to parenting pitfalls, overscheduled kids, dead social lives, AI girlfriends, and suburban existential dread, we meander through it all like three guys lost in a Target parking lot arguing over directions.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll maybe even question your commitment to PTA meetings and juice box culture. This one’s a ride.
