We trade bits for honesty, connect Icarus to individual comedy stylings, and admit that fevers and caffeine expose what’s sustainable and what's not. Then we sprint through Winter Olympics highs and heartbreak, tackle kid spacing, and give unvarnished dating advice for weathering ghosting with your self-worth intact. Chats this week include:

• humor as connection versus derailment
• Pushing past limits or flying into the sun
• fever recovery, hydration, reduced caffeine talk
• algorithm talk and scrolling habits
• Winter Olympics stories, medals, controversies
• difficulty and judging across sports
• parenting logistics and holiday overwhelm
• age gaps between siblings and readiness
• dating apps, ghosting, boundaries, self-respect
