Terrible Person

Burning Man turns into a full-blown disaster zone as rain, mud, and chaos trap thousands in the desert—and the episode opens with Grant and Caitlin going all-in on the rumors, the panic, and why they think a certain kind of festival person is built for catastrophe. They debate the culture of Burning Man, the “life-changing” crowd, rich people cosplaying as survivalists, and the weird social clout that comes with saying you went. Then the show takes a sharp left into listener interaction when Grant cold-calls Brett on-air, who immediately becomes the unofficial voice of the episode: Burning Man takes, DoorDash horror stories, psycho customers, and the realities of grinding side gigs in 2023. From there, it’s a rapid-fire run through modern life being stupidly expensive—groceries, inflation, tire scams, retail upsell tactics, and how every errand now costs a small fortune.

Beyoncé vs. Taylor Swift tour hype, “era” brainrot on social media, and why celebrity worship feels more like a sport than entertainment.

There’s also a mini-update on Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner rumors, the Jonas Brothers hierarchy, and the kind of petty relationship speculation that only makes sense when the world is already melting down. Finally, the episode closes on a full Limp Bizkit spiral—Fred Durst discourse, Woodstock baggage, and the exact moment a song can flip Grant’s brain into “I’m ready to run through a wall” mode.

The episode leans hard into skepticism, curiosity, and the uncomfortable space between satire and belief. From there,

The conversation shifts into media criticism, touching on true crime coverage, Nancy Grace–style sensationalism, and how outrage storytelling shapes public opinion more than facts. The episode gets personal as Gary and Selena answer a listener question about dating after breakups, meeting partners later in life, and how work, timing, and emotional burnout affect connection.
