Humans Exhaust Me

Paul is watching the US from afar and is not liking this season. He hopes next season has better script writers, possibly bringing back Bobby Ewing from the shower.

Phylecia fills us in on all the action from Project 2025 via a list, because that's the only way to get through it.

Is El Salvador the new Rwanda? Find out on Humans Exhaust Me.

The Trump administration is not wasting time implementing what they said (and what Kamala warned) they would do.

Hold on to your hats, folks.

TikTok was banned, then it was back. Why? A piece of political theater by 45-47. And now the kids love him.

So, the TikTok CEO joins the rest of the tech bros in the front row of the inauguration and the new world order is complete.

Trigger warning: we are talking about the inauguration and what happens.

LA is on fire. Climate change? Don't be absurd - too reasonable. Arson? Maybe. How about on purpose to create a new 15 minute city? Perhaps it's all DEI.

But DEI is outdated when you have masculine energy in the room. We talk about how corporate life needs more masculine energy. It's the bros' time to shine - but not in a glamorous or effeminate way, obvs.

Mark Zuckerberg says it's time to 'get back to our roots around free expression' on Meta. In other words, the last few years of managing harmful and political content has meant he's not so much in favour with the new Trump administration and Musk has outshone him.

Is Meta just protecting it's commercial interests or is Zuck showing his true colours?

Happy New Year!

We approach 2025 with a sense of vigour and without the seeming foreboding of previous years. That's just us you understand, you may be concerned.

In this episode we discuss how to deal with some of the challenges the year may throw at us, and what our safe space is.

We've come so far from the dark days of 2020.

It's been a couple of weeks, thanks to Floridian trees - no, really.

So we're catching on on what's happened since the last episode.

Paul trauma bombs with his experience of talking to young Gen Z students. We also talk the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, exploding scooters in Moscow, discuss the mysterious drones over New Jersey and ask "what the hell is a plasmoid?"

There's a developing story, just as we are recording. But, by the time you listen to this, the drama of a declaration of martial law in South Korea is pretty much over. Still, it got us thinking about the impact on the world, and Phylecia has a thought about K-POP that could leave you reeling.

Paul is at risk of entering full on prepper mode, so what do we do about all of this?

Phylecia comes to the rescue with some advice for the first few weeks of 2025.

IT'S OUR 200th EPISODE!

But we forgot to acknowledge that on the episode because we're soooo focused on bringing you some analysis on the US election result and what we think it means going forward.

We look at it from a US and UK perspective and look ahead to the future. Why is this decade so exhausting?
