Short Story Long......

What happens to the human brain at midnight on October 31 that suddenly makes peppermint, Christmas music and red cups socially acceptable?

The field trip is over.

Class is officially back in session.

Professor Zaga and Professor Nick are taking on Seasonal Whiplash 203, where we try to figure out why society assigns entire foods, drinks, clothes, activities and personalities to specific dates on a calendar.

Halloween ends and suddenly pumpkin disappears, peppermint takes over, Christmas starts invading Thanksgiving’s territory and everybody collectively decides soup tastes better because the temperature dropped outside.

Professor Nick, Chair of Seasonal Behavior Studies, is here to explain absolutely none of it scientifically.

And somewhere along the way, Zaga realizes he may have acquired entirely too much information about Professor Nick’s personal life.

There will be breadcrumbs.

There will only be breadcrumbs.

Welcome back to class.

Short Story Long......

How do you finish a completely reasonable vacation?

Apparently by going to New York Comic Con, spending too much money on mystery boxes, eating a milkshake with an entire slice of cake on top, getting yelled at in a bagel shop, witnessing absolute chaos at Jollibee and limping through New York City until your body finally gives up.

Professor Zaga and Professor Nick are back in the Teachers’ Lounge for the final chapter of Nick’s trip.

After surviving Salem and Nick’s first day in New York City, we finally hit one of the biggest reasons for the trip: New York Comic Con.

And by this point, everybody is exhausted.

Three episodes.

Salem.

New York City.

Comic-Con.

Approximately 30+ miles of walking.

Way too much food.

And somehow everybody survived.

The biggest takeaway from this entire trip?

Live in the moment.

Order the steak.
Order the ridiculous milkshake.
Take the trip.
See your people.

Because six years is way too long to wait.

Next week, class is officially back in session.

Welcome to ADHP University.

Short Story Long......

What happens after you survive Salem in October?

Apparently you fake a marriage proposal, scream karaoke on the ride home, sleep for a few hours and immediately drag everybody to New York City.

Professor Zaga and Professor Nick are still in the Teachers’ Lounge for Part 2 of Nick’s trip to New England, picking up exactly where Episode 15 ended.

Nick and Juliana have finally emerged from their suspiciously successful Salem “date,” Copper has apparently decided subtlety is beneath him, and Zaga still has one last piece of unfinished business before everybody leaves Salem.

Then the trip moves to New York.

For Nick, it’s his first time experiencing New York City in person, which means Grand Central, Times Square, New York pizza, the World Trade Center memorial, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, McSorley’s, rooftop dining and approximately enough walking to destroy what little energy the faculty had left.

Next week, we wrap up the vacation story before class officially goes back into session.

Short Story Long......

What happens when two podcast hosts finally record together in person after six years... and then immediately try to survive a trip to Salem in October?

Professor Zaga and Professor Nick are finally in the same room for the first in-person ADHP episode in six years, and class is officially canceled.

Welcome to the Teachers’ Lounge.

Nick has made the trip from Oklahoma to New England, and what was supposed to be a carefully planned weekend quickly becomes food, friends, traffic, missed reservations, questionable decisions, relentless bullying and the beginning of a Salem story that absolutely does not fit into one episode.

We get into:

• Nick’s flight nearly becoming a Final Destination situation
• His first night in Connecticut with Zaga and Ellie
• Zaga finally getting an honest review of his cooking
• Meeting Juliana in person
• The group getting stuck in traffic for two hours to move four miles
• Zaga turning into Ricky Bobby trying to save the Salem itinerary
• Missing the Warren Museum after the parking garage fills up at the worst possible moment
• Exploring Salem, Blackcraft and the Salem Witch Museum
• Copper showing up with newly dyed blond/orange hair and immediately regretting it
• The entire group discovering new reasons to bully Nick
• Windsor’s custom LEGO versions of the faculty
• Zaga becoming an unauthorized Salem paparazzo
• The beer garden that finally saves everybody’s mood
• Nick and Juliana accidentally getting sent on a date
• Zaga and Copper spying on that date from a distance
• Guinness, tomatoes and an increasingly suspicious amount of chemistry

And just when the rest of the group thinks the night is winding down, Nick and Juliana finally walk out of the restaurant together.

That story continues next episode.

Short Story Long......
At what point does “I like this” become “apparently this is who I am now”?
Professor Zaga, Professor Nick, and Dr. Copper are taking Full Frontal Nerdity 301, where the lesson is simple: how do you stop hiding the thing you love without becoming the person everybody regrets asking about it?
This class gets into hyper fixations, fandoms, cosplay, ridiculously expensive collectibles, deep-dive research, conventions, tattoos, gaming, wrestling, Marvel, Warhammer, Star Wars, record collecting and the exact moment somebody probably needs to take away your credit card.
We get into:
• The things we absolutely cannot talk about like normal people
• When a casual interest becomes a full-blown obsession
• Zaga’s $600 WWE championship belt
• Copper’s Titanfall 2 collector’s helmet and gaming collection
• Nick’s Deadpool cosplay and Kingdom Hearts obsession
• What actually makes somebody a nerd
• The official nerd scale: Casual → Fan → Nerd → Full Frontal → TAKE AWAY THE CREDIT CARD
• Mac Miller records and Zaga discovering another expensive hobby
• The weird subjects each of us knows way too much about
• Student Body answers about their own Full Frontal Nerdity
Zaga also talks about seeing Filipino culture and folklore represented on the big screen, Copper gets punished for showing up late, and the faculty somehow spends an unreasonable amount of time finding new names for Dr. Copper.

Your social battery hit zero.

Unfortunately, somebody just said “before you go…” and now apparently you live here.

ADHP University is officially in session, and our first online class is Irish Goodbye 102: how to leave a party without accidentally unlocking another 45-minute event.

Professor Nick considers himself something of an Irish-goodbye surgeon. Professor Zaga has questions.

Together, we're breaking down why announcing “I'm leaving” somehow restarts the entire night, the traps waiting between you and the front door, and how to disappear from a party without creating an international incident.

We also somehow get into:

Nick explaining why the entire point of an Irish goodbye is NOT announcing it.

Coat check, “before you go…,” family guilt, partners who won't stop talking and every other obstacle standing between you and freedom.

The fake-phone-call escape strategy.

Why “I'm about to shit my pants” has apparently become advanced ADHP coursework.

Why escaping a Filipino family goodbye requires significantly more planning.

Leaving your ride behind because they ignored the agreed-upon departure time.

Why “one more drink” may be the most dangerous sentence at a party.

The different Irish-goodbye personalities: The Nicky, The Midwestern, The Copper Out, The Zaga, The Magician and more.

Whether you can disappear from weddings, birthday dinners, work happy hours, first dates and somebody else's house.

Why “I'm tired” and “I'm overstimulated” are complete explanations.

And the official rules of the perfect exit:

Have a plan.

Don't be messy.

Stop asking permission to leave.

Professor Zaga.

Professor Nick.

One exit door.

Let's see if the Student Body actually makes it out.

Short story long... somehow we're professors now.

ADHP University is officially opening its doors, which feels completely responsible considering one of us never went to college and the other dropped out twice.

This week, Zaga and Nick have one last Faculty Lounge session before classes officially take over ADHP.

We're figuring out exactly how an unaccredited comedy university run by adults operating at roughly 30% is supposed to work, why the 30%ers are now the Student Body, what Professor Zaga and Professor Nick are actually qualified to teach, and whether putting ADHP University on your résumé is an objectively terrible decision.

Spoiler: we'll still be your references.

We also somehow get into:

Nick's serial-killer voicemail finally getting called out by his actual boss.

Why 2000s ringback tones desperately need to return.

The first ADHP University lesson: how to look like you know what you're doing when you absolutely do not.

Why confidently using fake acronyms may be one of adulthood's greatest social hacks.

Nick admitting he's never actually been to college.

Chaz the Chaos Gremlin becoming the official school mascot.

An alarming amount of Burger King and Dragon Ball analysis.

The sentence “women are hot and they scare me.”

A potential Professor Nick lecture involving pasties and a championship belt.

And planning Nick's upcoming New York, Comic-Con and Salem field trip, which has somehow become Friends, Guinness, White Castle, chopped cheese, bagels, hot dogs, Blackcraft and Annabelle.

This is the last episode before the classroom officially takes over.

Professor Zaga.

Professor Nick.

The Student Body.

#ADHP #ADHPUniversity #Adulting #ComedyPodcast #MillennialHumor

Short story long... we had an episode recorded.

Then we got an email telling us not to post it.

So naturally, we handed the backup plan to the 30%ers.

This week, Zaga and Nick are working through ridiculous fan-submitted scenarios and answering one important question:

What would two adults running on 30% actually do?

And apparently the answer is almost always: make the situation significantly worse.

What happens if you're trapped inside a Walmart overnight while one exhausted employee is hunting you?

What if your HOA accuses you of summoning raccoons?

What if a stranger hands you their toddler and drives away?

What if mystery packages containing medieval weapons, exotic spices and taxidermy supplies keep showing up at your house?

What happens when two adults reach for the last package of Oreos?

And what exactly are you supposed to do when a stranger walks up in a parking lot, hands you a burner phone and whispers:

“You're safe now.”

Before any of that, Zaga also derails the episode with one of the most disturbing mortuary documentaries he's ever watched, Nick absolutely does NOT explain what's happening between him and Juliana, and somehow the episode ends with an extremely questionable plan involving Copper, Salem and a fake proposal.

This is not how responsible adults would handle these situations.

This is how we would.

#ADHP #HypotheticalScenarios #ComedyPodcast #MillennialHumor #Adulting

Short story long... adulthood finally got the awards show it deserves.

This week, Zaga and Nick host The 30% Awards, where being nominated is less of an honor and more confirmation that adulthood has personally wronged you.

The 30%ers helped nominate the everyday problems, purchases, social rules, minor inconveniences, and outright betrayals competing for some of adulthood's least prestigious awards.

We're deciding:

What should have only taken five minutes?

What normal purchase has gotten offensively expensive?

What's the worst thing to remember immediately after sitting down?

Which temporary solution somehow became permanent?

What unwritten social rule did nobody actually agree to?

Which minor inconvenience has absolutely no right to make us this angry?

Who designed some of this garbage?

And what is the ultimate adulthood final boss?

Customer service battles subscriptions.

Pokémon cards, fast food, PC parts, and the pink tax compete for “That Cost HOW Much?”

Wet socks face slow walkers.

College and employers enter The Great Betrayal.

And by the end, work and social media are fighting for the honor of draining the last remaining percentage of our sanity.

There are no celebrities.

There is no red carpet.

There are several unresolved responsibilities.

Which award did we get completely wrong?

And if adulthood gave YOU an award tonight, what would you win?

#ADHP #Adulting #MillennialHumor #ComedyPodcast #MillennialPodcast

Short story long... adulthood is just a never-ending collection of side quests nobody trained us for.

This week, Zaga and Nick enter the 30% Side Quest Championship to figure out who is actually better at surviving the tiny adult problems that somehow consume an unreasonable amount of time, money, and emotional stability.

We're dealing with customer service calls from hell, mystery subscription charges, being transferred between the same departments, household repairs that could become significantly more expensive if you touch the wrong thing, grocery-store rage, self-checkout betrayal, and the eternal adult question:

Is this a problem for right now... or Tomorrow Me?

Zaga also tries to do one nice thing for a stranger who only needs a ride “right down the road.”

Fifteen minutes later, he's on the other side of town, the church is closed, there's suddenly a CVS involved, and apparently he accidentally became an unpaid transportation service.

Then we put our adulthood survival skills to the test with:

A duplicate charge and a 45-minute hold time.

A 2 A.M. smoke-detector, Wi-Fi, and running-toilet disaster.

A $25 grocery-store survival challenge.

And a lightning round proving how aggressively we will postpone basic responsibilities.

We may not have adulthood figured out.

But we're still here.

Running on 30%. Still showing up.
