What’s That Smell?

What does it mean to belong? When’s the last time you asked yourself that question? Turns out, ol’ Tommy and Pete have been taking an awful lot forgranted in the belonging camp and this week marks a real reckoning on the research front. It’s Cults, Race, and Fandoms all the way down!

Pete and Tommy dig deep into doubt, the feelings that come with it, and the feelings that drive us to test the world when it just feels fishy.

Welcome to another episode of the global sensation All The Feelings, where we dive into the wacky world of emotions, and today, we’re talking about pride. Not the fabulous, rainbow-colored kind (though we love that too), but the emotion of pride.

Joy is way more than just being happy – it’s an ongoing state of deep delight in the stuff you care about most. Researchers say joy comes from living your values, connecting with others, and being your best self. We say those researchers aren’t thinking creatively enough about how to use joy as a weapon. Are we learning the wrong lessons this season? Oh well.

Pete and Tommy truck in some meticulously well-charted waters this week, and in so doing, Pete gets flummoxed and Tommy finds Biblical levels of embarrassment.

Welcome to the rollercoaster ride that is the inaugural episode of WTS Presents: All the Feelings, where we’re tackling the big, scary, exhilarating, and occasionally refrigerator-filled world of change. Today we’re serving up a cocktail of emotion, with a dash of humor, a sprinkle of sarcasm, and a generous dose of poetry.

Oh. The Humanity.

Tommy stamps out elitism everywhere all the time and Pete is in search of authentic happiness for a listener.

Pete’s lamenting the layoffs while Tommy is poking at pugilism.
