Terrible Person episodes

  • Person of the Year
    Taylor Swift gets crowned Time’s Person of the Year and it instantly turns into a full-on argument about celebrity worship, manufactured outrage, and why certain people get treated like untouchable gods. Billie Eilish’s sexuality discourse kicks off a chaotic breakdown of labels like gay, queer, and cisgender, plus the internet’s obsession with defining everyone on demand. There’s talk about podcast awards being fake, Phoenix culture being corny, and the fantasy of reinventing yourself just to start winning trophies.

    Tim Allen comes up with his old drug history and the Santa Claus movie set drama, then the conversation swerves into Ice Cube, Hollywood gatekeepers, Epstein conspiracies, and how fast internet panic shifts from 5G paranoia to anti-vape “popcorn lung” propaganda. A Texas trip recap includes parade hosting, crowd energy, and culture shock, followed by commentary on local news coverage, who ends up getting interviewed after shootings, and why it always looks like a casting call for the worst possible people. The episode closes with holiday party dread, Advent calendar beef, Thai food decisions, Panda Express observations, Mexican food discoveries, and the eternal debate over disgusting comfort meals like soup, crackers, cheese, and horseradish.

  • The Paper Cutter Mishap Pt 2
    Gary and Selena move through a long, winding conversation that jumps from workplace gun talk and suppressors into pop culture, fashion, and identity. The Matrix becomes a surprisingly serious metaphor for self perception, standing out in public, and why certain aesthetics signal belonging or rebellion. That spirals into celebrity reinvention, masculinity, and why comedians getting jacked often feels more confusing than impressive. The discussion shifts into true crime and justice, touching on Larry Nassar, prison violence, and why some public villains seem protected while others face immediate consequences.

    Gary and Selena question how punishment works, who gets sympathy, and why certain stories never seem to end. From there it turns domestic and personal with holiday decorations that never come down, awkward neighbors, DUI news, homelessness outside grocery stores, and everyday discomfort people pretend not to see. The episode winds through bad Christmas movies, streaming burnout, celebrity obsession, beauty standards, dating history, and the strange ways fame distorts reality. It closes on food debates, snoring complaints, pets with seasonal depression, and the familiar chaos of overthinking everything late at night.

  • The Paper Cutter Mishap Pt 1
    Gary and Selena kick things off by unpacking their first full dive into The Matrix, breaking down confidence, doubt, symbolism, and why the sequels feel heavier and more philosophical than expected. That leads into reality television with Sister Wives, polygamy dynamics, emotional imbalance, and how one relationship slowly collapses while everyone pretends it is fine. The conversation moves into holiday burnout, streaming fatigue, and why there is nothing new worth watching between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Squid Game The Challenge comes up alongside frustration with bad Christmas movies, especially Best Christmas Ever, and why forced holiday cheer makes everything worse.

    Gary and Selena also touch on celebrity families, reality fame, and how being adjacent to stardom often replaces talent. The episode spirals into awkward public interactions, weather chaos, workplace memories, dispensary encounters, and being recognized in places where no one wants attention. It closes with a long detour into gingerbread construction disasters, food frustration, pop culture oversharing, and the kind of chaotic thoughts that only surface late at night.

  • Banana Bread at Work Pt 2
    Gary and Selena move through a series of workplace frustrations, public interactions, and social misunderstandings that start small and quickly escalate. What begins with casual observations turns into stories about manners, entitlement, and the quiet resentment that builds during everyday encounters.

    The conversation drifts through celebrity obsession, live music at restaurants, food rituals, and the strange social rules people are expected to follow without ever agreeing on them. Gary and Selena react to awkward service moments, unspoken expectations, and the irritation that comes from being polite when it feels undeserved. This episode captures the tension between trying to be normal in public and the internal commentary that never shuts off. Gary and Selena sit with that irritation, laugh through it, and let the annoyance speak for itself.

  • Banana Bread at Work Pt 1
    Gary and Selena kick things off with an unexpectedly emotional win at work that quickly turns into a broader conversation about patience, small victories, and how easily good moods collide with everyday irritation. What starts as banana bread spirals into observations about waiting, entitlement, and why minor interactions feel heavier than they should.

    The episode moves through cult documentaries, internet belief systems, and the appeal of people selling certainty to anyone desperate for meaning. Gary and Selena react to modern self help culture, relationship obsession, and the thin line between advice and manipulation. Layered beneath the humor is a steady commentary on frustration, confusion, and the quiet absurdity of modern life. Gary and Selena let the conversation wander naturally, capturing the feeling of trying to stay grounded while everything around you feels slightly unhinged.

  • Falling In Lava Pt 2
    Gary and Selena spiral through pop culture frustrations, celebrity obsession, and why certain franchises refuse to die. The conversation jumps from music industry grudges to reality television fatigue, reboot culture, and the strange grip famous families still have on public attention. Dinner disasters, bad ribs, and low expectations become a jumping off point for talking about disappointment, irritation, and how small annoyances stack up fast.

    Gary and Selena break down modern convenience, read receipts, social pressure, and the quiet stress of being constantly reachable. The episode takes a hard left with a long call from Scott, whose story about an awkward medical appointment turns into a raw and unfiltered look at embarrassment, masculinity, aging, and how unprepared people are for certain real world experiences. Gary and Selena react in real time, letting the conversation stretch into something uncomfortable, absurd, and strangely honest.

  • Falling In Lava Pt 1
    Gary and Selena move through a long, spiraling conversation that starts with a week off and immediately collapses into apartment problems, strange smells, loud neighbors, and maintenance issues that never actually get resolved. Small daily frustrations stack up until everything feels slightly off, like living inside a loop that never resets. The conversation shifts into freeway anxiety, car fires, near accidents, and the creeping feeling that something is wrong with driving lately.

    Gary recounts an overpowered dispensary food experience that turns a normal workday into an uncomfortably intense ride home, while Selena reacts to the logic of casually eating a fully infused meal and expecting nothing to happen. From there, the episode drifts through reality television obsession, messaging a reality figure, celebrity sightings, internet videos involving extreme accidents, and the uneasy mix of curiosity and regret that comes with seeing too much online. Gary and Selena bounce between dark humor, paranoia, pop culture distractions, and the shared relief of saying the quiet thoughts out loud.
