All The Feelings • The Sometimes-Funny Podcast about Being Human TruStory FM

Sodas and TikTok and Forced Nostalgia? What more do you want for our final season break episode? Don’t answer that question. Tom also introduces his new pastime: murderboards. We hit a reunion of too many years, and we recommend you all watch the Three-Body Problem, but mostly first, you should read the books, which will make you feel small. Happy day!

We’re back with favorite guest Mandy Kaplan with another dish of consumable delights and this month we’re putting lip to bottle in a survey of sweet and regrettably savory fizzy sodas. For those looking to join, here’s the master list:

1) MOXIE
2) SPRECHER ROOT BEER
3) KEY LIME PIE
4) RAMUNE GRAPE
5) SEAL YA LATER
6) BUFFALO WING
7) SLIME LICKER

These come from fantastic Rocket Fizz stores in Beaverton and LA and we’re thrilled to have had the support of their managers and owners in picking this line-up… even if we didn’t love them all! 

Stuck on finding the perfect birthday present for your loved ones? We're here to help! First, we're dishing on the word nerds' selections for "words of the year" - from "rizz" to "hallucinations," it's a vocabulary rollercoaster! Also, dive into the wild world of VR with us as Pete helps Tommy embrace the Vision Pro life, goggle dirt and all.

We’re popping the top on dips this month and diving into the best and the worst of the creamy concoctions. We’re talking bean dips. We’re talking creamy spinach dips. We’re talking Ranch. We’re talking cheeses. We’re talking all the things that get jammed into jars and cans, ready for you to crack open this year... or many years in the future. 

Guest Mandy Kaplan is back, creeping out of the neon-lit protection of the Mandcave. You should go subscribe to her show, too! Right here on TruStory FM!

Welcome to the first of our member bonus episodes for season 8 of All the Feelings! Thanks for hanging around, the whole lot of you. May this brief checkin bring you some holiday chuckles, two potential grotesqueries, and a textile mystery. 

It’s the big finale of our eighth season and we’re going out with a curiosity: Transcendence. We kick things off with a good-natured debate about our podcast's unique episode numbering, likely a coping mechanism for our collective lack of understanding of the topic.
Eventually, we get somewhere, though where that is happens to be unique to each of us. It turns out that Transcendence is a word that conjures emotions of “beyond” differently for us. For Tommy, the secret is in The Zipper, a risky carnival ride that illuminates his understanding of transcendence in spite of all warnings otherwise. For Pete, it’s about shedding baggage. 
We hope, dear listener, that this season has made for a fun exploration of our shared humanity. We’ve been thrilled by reports of listener groups popping up and hope to see those continue into next season. Between now and then, this show moves to a monthly schedule with abbreviated episodes in the public feed, and full member bonus episodes for Feeling Friends. We hope you’ll consider joining us on this break before we come back for next season’s exploration of The Seven Deadly Sins and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. It’s gonna be weird.
