SoberNotSoberPodIf You're Still Balding in 2026...What Are You Doing!? | SoberNotSober Ep.54
We kick things off with a genuine séance for Caleb Williams and his hamstring — because if prayer works, a full-blown spell cast has to work better, right? From there, things spiral into a rant about the state of online advertising: the aggressive balding ads, the "we lied" TikTok Shop hustle, and how ad agencies have completely lost the plot. We also get into what makes a podcast authentic (and why we physically couldn't fake it if we tried), followed by a deep dive into a classic AP World thought experiment — if you put seven babies on an island with zero outside influence, do they develop greed, lying, and racism on their own? The answer might say more about us than them.
Later, we break down TikTok vs. Instagram's algorithm, get nostalgic about Coolmath Games and Addicting Games, and discover the niche trivia goldmine that is Krillion. We also take a somber moment to remember Pokekid Avery, a 12-year-old Pokémon creator who brought genuine light to the community before losing his battle with cancer. Then we tackle the question of who's funnier — men or women — shout out Lisa Gilroy and Jordan Jensen, debate whether Ryan Murphy's Lizzie Borden series needed a steam-engine d****, and argue about whether able-bodied actors should play disabled characters (Bryan Cranston, Gary Oldman, and the kid from Glee all enter the chat). We close out with some questionable hip-hop lyric recitations and a reminder to keep the séance playing on loop for Caleb.
