Minisode: Gym Bros VS. Therapy Chats
Because sometimes the only reps we’re getting in are emotional.

In our very first Apocalypse & Avocados minisode, Carissa dives headfirst into the barbell-laden battleground between mental health and physical fitness. Joined by Peter and Shaun (aka the chaotic support group you didn’t ask for), the trio unpacks big questions like: Is therapy leg day for your brain? Can protein shakes cure anxiety? And why does sugar taste like safety?

We’re serving up hot takes on alcohol, mocktails, emotional eating, and why sodium might be your frenem...

Judgment Is My Love Language
#11
Last Thursday at 7:00 AM

We said what we said—and yes, we do judge. In this episode of Apocalypse and Avocados, the gang unleashes a symphony of side-eyes and savage truth bombs as they spiral through their biggest pet peeves—from flaky friends and ghosting gurus to pop culture chaos and social media nonsense. Nothing is safe: not that one friend who never shows up, not Ozempic influencers, not even Britney.

We’re talking queer-coded behaviors, friendship friction, the weird way people misuse words online, and why judgment isn’t always a bad thing—it might just be our love language. Plus, we g...

Oops, My Petty Is Showing…

This week on Apocalypse and Avocados, we’re pulling back the curtain on our pettiest selves—and yes, it’s as chaotic as it sounds. From the silent treatment that screams volumes to the “accidental” office microwave sabotage, we’re diving deep into revenge stories, workplace pettiness, and the little indignities that push us over the edge.

Why do we act petty? Does it feel good? (Spoiler: the answer is yes.) We explore the social dynamics behind petty moments, share laugh-out-loud personal anecdotes, and unpack the life lessons hiding under all that drama...

Millennials Killed It, Gen Z Buried It, and Gen Alpha Will Probably Resurrect It
In this generational roast (with love), the hosts of Apocalypse & Avocados unpack the blame game between millennials, Gen Z, and the up-and-coming Gen Alpha. From Crocs to capitalism, department store deaths to digital dominance, we dive into how each generation shaped — or shattered — fashion trends, work culture, environmental norms, and social media etiquette.

Are participation trophies ruining work ethic? Who really killed marriage? And can Gen Alpha save us all with heart hands and biodegradable memes? Tune in for laughs, light rants, and...


Astrology Made Me Do It: Using the Stars As Scapegoats
#8
04/28/2025

✨ In this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, we’re dragging zodiac signs, blaming Mercury retrograde for our bad decisions, and using the stars as scapegoats for... pretty much everything. Accountability? Never heard of her.

We’re spilling tea on birth charts, messy relationships, and why millennials and Gen Z treat astrology like a cosmic coping mechanism. From tarot tantrums to spiritual glow-ups, it’s a chaotic ride through modern astrology — with jokes, shade, and some suspiciously personal callouts. (Sorry, Libras... kinda.)

🔮 Topics include:

How astrology excuses our worst behavior

This week on Apocalypse & Avocados, things get juicy—and a little unhinged. Peter, Carissa, and Shaun are joined by a very special guest: Peter’s bestie and ex-boyfriend Martin. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: everything, and we’re here for it.)

We’re diving headfirst into the flaming dumpster fire that is modern dating. From chaotic hookup horror stories to friendship fallouts and online dating disasters, no topic is off-limits. We're serving laughs, lessons, and a few low-key therapy sessions—complete with red flags, emotional manipulation, and "I just drove off" energy.

Also in the mix:

Do What You Love and Other Lies We Were Told

04/21/2025

Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”—sure, but why are we still broke and burnt out? In this episode, we call bullshit on the millennial dream job myth, swap stories of passion turning into paychecks (or not), and ask: is loving your job even possible when rent is due?


Plus, we veer into the world of bizarre wellness trends—yes, we’re talking vaginal steaming. Is it self-care, a scam, or just weirdly steamy?


Grab your avocado toast and join us as we laug...


Quiet Quitting, Burnout, and Boundaries: Millennials VS. Hustle Culture
#5
04/17/2025

Burnt out? Over it? Quiet quitting isn’t a vibe—it’s a goddamn survival tactic. In this hilarious and unfiltered episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, your favorite queer trio drags toxic hustle culture through the mud and lights it on fire with a scented candle from Target.

We’re talking burnout, boundaries, and the sacred art of doing exactly what you're paid for (and not a damn thing more). From millennial trauma responses to Gen Z's refusal to answer emails after 6pm, we break down why overachieving is out and self-preservation is in.

Featuring chaotic ER stori...


Drag, Delusion, and Dumbassery: A Pop Culture Exorcism
#4
04/14/2025

Darlings, welcome to the sparkliest breakdown you didn’t know you needed. In this episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, we’re diving into the rhinestone-studded rabbit hole of pop culture escapism — where love is blind, drag queens reign supreme, and Lady Gaga is our patron saint of serotonin.

We dish on the current state of reality TV (spoiler: it’s a mess and we love it), mourn the soul of modern music, and scream respectfully about how award shows lost their sparkle. Plus, we serve nostalgia with a side of MTV chaos, a sprinkle of Mean Girls quotes, and just...

04/10/2025

In this hilariously dark and brutally honest episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, we're tackling the messy world of queer friendships—from ghosted group chats to toxic besties. Ever wonder why maintaining friendships feels like a full-time job? Or why your BFF suddenly vanished quicker than your last Tinder match? We dive into the hilarious horrors of ghosting, spotting friendship red flags (hint: stop hitting on your gay friends!), and navigating those toxic relationships that feel suspiciously like bad reality TV.


Laugh along as we share cringe-worthy personal stories, unpack the complex dynamics of queer friendships, an...

Rent, debt, and overpriced pork chops—welcome to another episode of Apocalypse & Avocados, where your hosts Shaun, Carissa, and Peter tackle the financial dumpster fire that's slowly roasting us alive.

Join us as we dive deep into the reality of skyrocketing rent prices (spoiler: it's terrifying), the elusive concept of "cost of living," and uncover the hidden reality behind the "gay tax"—those extra costs queer folks face simply for existing.

Highlights include:
