Content Warning: Toward the end of this episode, we discuss suicide. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

This week on Call Me Limbo, we ask a very simple question: are people okay right now? And the answer… is no.

Dai and David dive into everything from rising crime narratives to the ways society feels increasingly off balance. What starts as a conversation about culture quickly spirals into something deeper: why everything feels tense, disconnected, and just a little unhinged.

And because this is Call Me Limbo, we also address a growing public concern that no one else seems brave enough to tackle… if your feet are crusty, we need to talk.

From politics to personal hygiene to the state of the world, this episode is funny, chaotic, and a little too real.

If you’ve been feeling like something is “off” lately… you’re not alone.

This week’s episode starts with a conversation about musty dates and quickly spirals into one of the funniest and most chaotic discussions yet. Dai and David unpack dating frustrations, hygiene expectations and why the bar sometimes feels impossibly low.

From there, the conversation shifts into draft debates, personal boundaries and the uncomfortable reality of being told what you should be willing to do. The episode balances humor with real talk, mixing outrageous moments with thoughtful commentary.

They also float a new idea for a live dating segment where contestants compete in real time. It might be the most chaotic experiment Call Me Limbo has attempted yet.

If you like unfiltered conversations about dating, culture and the absurdity of modern life, this episode delivers.

This week’s episode starts chaotic and somehow gets even more unhinged, in the best way.

We break down the latest culture war hypocrisy, including a Supreme Court ruling impacting LGBTQ rights, anti-trans legislation, and how “freedom of religion” is increasingly being used as a shield for discrimination.

Then things take a turn.

We talk about:
• The Supreme Court conversion therapy ruling
• Anti-LGBTQ legislation and hypocrisy
• “Freedom of religion” vs freedom to discriminate
• The obsession with transgender athletes
• Political propaganda & moral inconsistency
• Why “bring back shame” might actually help society

And then… Dai introduces a new segment called, "It's A Fool."

Starting with a full breakdown of the hygiene crisis happening in gyms, public spaces, and apparently… grown men’s underwear.

Yes. It goes there.

Because at the end of the day:
Leave people alone.
Give people healthcare.
And for the love of God… wash your ass.

This week, we go there.

From fears of a military draft to questioning everything we were taught about America, this episode turns into one of our most honest conversations yet.

We unpack the rising enlistment age, why fewer Americans qualify for military service, and what it says about the state of the country. Then the conversation deepens — into war, propaganda, nationalism, and what happens when you stop believing in the American dream you were promised.

We also talk about:
• The military recruitment crisis
• Millennials waking up from the American Dream
• War in the Middle East & media distrust
• Why people join the military (and why many don’t)
• Propaganda, misinformation, and truth fatigue
• Feeling lost politically in 2026
• Rejection, purpose, and building something meaningful
• Why community matters more than ever

This one gets personal. Emotional. And very real.

Because when the system stops making sense… you start asking bigger questions.

This week on Call Me Limbo, we start with a simple question:

Why does work feel so broken right now?

From childhood lessons about “never saying no to your boss”… to modern workplaces demanding more for less, we unpack how hustle culture and corporate expectations shape our lives.

Then things take a turn (as they always do).

We get into:

• A major meatpacking worker strike and what it says about labor in America
• A wild debate about giving unhoused people basic hygiene products (yes… seriously)
• The politics of gerrymandering and power in local elections
• And why some people care more about “free stuff” than actual human dignity

Along the way, we ask a bigger question:

Are we building a system that works for people… or just protecting one that doesn’t?

It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s very Call Me Limbo.

This week on Call Me Limbo, Dai and David attempt to make sense of a world that feels increasingly upside down.

From escalating tensions involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran to surprising election results in Arkansas and Texas, the hosts break down how global conflict, domestic politics, and corporate influence are reshaping democracy in real time.

They explore the growing gap between public opinion and political power, the role of identity politics in modern elections, and whether America’s “representative democracy” is actually representing the people at all.

Along the way, Dai and David tackle the uncomfortable realities of U.S. foreign policy, the consequences of endless war, and the structural barriers that make meaningful political change so difficult.

And because this is Call Me Limbo, the conversation somehow still finds time for Hilary Duff ticket prices, pasta water, and the occasional existential crisis.

Topics include:

• U.S. foreign policy and the Iran–Israel conflict
• The global consequences of American military action
• Special election surprises in Arkansas and Texas
• Identity politics vs. ideological politics
• Voting access and structural barriers in U.S. elections
• The growing disconnect between voters and political power

If democracy is supposed to represent the people…
why does it feel like nobody’s listening?

CORRECTION: David said that the number of Palantir workers in Denver who were losing their jobs was around 200. A firm number has not been announced, and the estimated job losses are anywhere between 90 people and 544 people.
