Things I'm Getting Too Old to Pretend are Fun!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION - Ready to publishAlyssa and Mike are calling it: some things are just not fun anymore. From plans that start after 7 PM to standing in one place, loud restaurants, uncomfortable shoes, and the brutal regret of staying out too late, this episode is a hilariously relatable deep dive into the everyday habits adults quietly stop pretending to enjoy.They kick things off with a conversation about the shift from FOMO to JOMO, then break down the signs that you might officially be “too old for this”—including late-night plans, Sunday-night outings, sleeping anywhere but your own bed, and the emotional damage of realizing you have to leave the house again because you forgot milk. Along the way, they get into the little things that make adulthood feel very real: preferring a destination before you leave the driveway, choosing the seat over the standing-room concert, and the universal rage of a long checkout line.You’ll discover:Why 9 PM starts feeling like bedtime adjacentThe exact reason Sunday night never really counts as the weekend anymoreWhy hotel beds, fluffy duvets, and personal comfort rituals matter more than everHow one long line can make a good shopping haul suddenly not worth itWhy cooking a complicated meal can feel less like fun and more like a stress testAlyssa brings the sharp, no-nonsense perspective of someone who knows exactly what her limits are, while Mike adds the perfect counterbalance with his own set of “absolutely not” adult preferences. Together, they turn a simple TikTok prompt into a surprisingly funny and honest debate about sleep, noise, comfort, spontaneity, and the strange new joys of staying home.Perfect for anyone who has ever chosen pajamas over plans, left a party early, or looked at the clock and thought, “Yeah, that’s enough excitement for one night.”Hashtags:#AMPodcast #GettingTooOldForThis #JoyOfMissingOut #JOMO #Adulting #RelatablePodcast #PodcastHumor #StayingIn #LowKeyPlans #WorkLifeBalance #PodcastEpisode #FunnyPodcast
