In this episode of The Happy Rant Ted, Barnabas, and Ronnie go a different direction than normal. This episode is more serious and somber and reflective than normal. They discuss the following:

- The suicides of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade and the outpouring of response, especially by Christians

- Mental illness and spiritual darkness

- What success and satisfaction really is and the ways we pursue it vainly

- High expectations, large appetites, and how they lead to disappointment
