Welcome back to All The Feelings, the podcast where adulthood means pretending you know how to say sorry and hoping lasagna can fix emotional devastation. This week, Pete and Tommy dissect the modern apology: why “I’m sorry if you were offended” is a disaster, and how real apologies require actual specificity, remorse, and the superhuman courage to say, “Yeah, I messed up.”Then, Pete shares what happens when life hits hard—specifically, the loss of his father—and how sometimes the only thing that makes a dent in the pain is a well-timed pizza, not a well-worded condolence. Turns out, nobody teaches you how to support a grieving friend, and “Let me know if you need anything” is about as helpful as an escape room with no exits. Show up, do something practical, and skip the TED Talk.Stick around for Feeling Friends—your reminder that supporting the show is the easiest emotional win you’ll have all week.Become a Feeling Friend!Help us keep the precinct weird: <a href="https://allthefeelings.fun/">allthefeelings.fun</a>Get early access, bonus content, stickers, and the satisfaction of supporting emotional democracy for only $35 a year.

The Regrets Issue • Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Pizza

All the Feelings, Season 10: Adulting—A Life-Long Course in Feeling Unprepared

You know that moment when you look around and realize, Oh no… I’m the adult in this room? Maybe it’s when you pretend to understand tax brackets. Or when your back starts to hurt because you "slept." Or when you stand in the grocery store, staring at asparagus, wondering if you should be investing in heavy greens futures.

Welcome to All the Feelings Season 10, where your able hosts, Tommy Metz III and Pete Wright, are going to tackle the unspoken truth of adulthood: nobody actually knows what they’re doing most of the time. This season, we’re diving into the emotional chaos of adulting—all the things that, by now, we should have mastered but somehow still make us feel like confused 12-year-olds wearing oversized suits.

We’ll explore the existential panic of estate planning (Wills: Now Featuring Your Inevitable Mortality!), the sheer absurdity of socializing as a grown-up (Why Is Making Friends Harder Than Filing Taxes?), and the shame spiral of arguing (Yes, You Can Still Lose a Fight in Your 40s!). We’ll unpack civic duty, grief, apologizing, and the delicate balance of managing time without feeling like you’re constantly failing an invisible test.

And of course, we’ll get real about the things that make adulthood straight-up weird: why is sleep suddenly a competitive sport? Why does gift-giving induce a full-blown identity crisis? And why does every conversation about homeownership involve so much sighing?

This season, Pete and Tommy are back to do what they do best: explore the emotional absurdity of being human. Because if adulthood is just a long series of pop quizzes, we might as well laugh about it together.
