Episode summary:

• ⏰ We determine the true definition of wealth: never setting an alarm, not yachts, Lambos, or whatever billionaires pretend matters.

• 😬 The Sunday Scaries have metastasized into an always-on dread cycle, powered by Teams, Slack, email, and the knowledge that weekends are fake.

• 🏭 We long for extinct jobs where you clock out, go home, and don’t think about work—like a dinosaur, but happier.

• 🤖 Automation is replacing everyone except the least competent people in leadership, who somehow remain fully immune.

• ❄️ Living on the rain/snow border means weather forecasts are vibes, plow trucks are optional, and black ice is a personal enemy.

• 💰 We deep-dive Powerball math and conclude that a million dollars is absolutely life-changing, despite what delusional rich people claim.

• 🧾 If we won the lottery, we’d still go to work—just to force the company to fire us and then collect unemployment out of pure principle.

• 👔 Career advice from the McDonald’s CEO confirms what you already know: nobody cares about your career, and you are 100% a replaceable tool.

• 🎸 AI can now write, code, animate, and make music—ushering in a bold new era where speed beats quality and everyone confidently ships garbage.
