Embert is back in Season 4, Episode 6, wondering out loud how we became a nation of exhausted people... who don’t even work. If you’ve ever met someone who needs a “reset day” after organizing their email folders, this episode is for you.

In classic form, Embert opens with a sigh, calls out the absurdity of modern burnout culture, and then proceeds to verbally body slam everything from Etsy entrepreneurs on spiritual leave to remote workers crying about “Zoom fatigue” while wearing sweatpants at noon.

This episode is a crash course in Embert’s Old Man Logic™: if you’re tired, it better be from doing something. Preferably something useful, difficult, and real. You know—work. Not “vibe-curation,” not “emotional labor,” not “branding yourself.” WORK.

Expect gems like:

• “You’re not on a healing journey, you’re just unemployed with glitter.”

• “My grandson said he was ‘emotionally taxed.’ I said, son, the IRS doesn’t even know who you are.”

• “People used to do double shifts with a broken toe and a cigarette. Now you need a nap after folding a hoodie.”

This isn’t just a rant—it’s a reality check. Embert gets into the generational divide, the collapse of personal responsibility, and why nobody can sleep at night despite owning four weighted blankets and a $120 sound machine. Somewhere in there, he forgets what segment he’s on, roasts his grandson’s Etsy obsession, and starts yelling at his laptop for auto-updating mid-sentence.

You’ll also hear:

• A nostalgic ode to thermos lunches and jobs that didn’t care about your “inner child”

• A breakdown of why “working from home” now means “avoiding eye contact with your own goals”

• And a fiery call to action: stop spiritualizing laziness and start showing up

If you're tired of listening to tired people who’ve never worked a hard day in their life—this one’s for you. It’s part wake-up call, part therapy, part Embert accidentally closing his browser mid-rant and blaming his grandson for “downloading the cloud again.”

Embert is back in Season 4, Episode 5, and this time he’s mourning something truly tragic: the death of common sense. From frozen pizza warnings to senators justifying carjackings as "community transportation," Embert takes aim at the stupid that’s somehow become standard—and he doesn’t miss.

In classic Embert fashion, the episode starts focused, spirals into a story about his dad threatening a toaster, veers off into a rant about his grandson’s “life coach,” and somehow still lands the plane in one piece. Barely.

This episode is a masterclass in curmudgeonly brilliance—part social commentary, part therapy session for anyone still clinging to logic like it’s on life support. Embert rails against the glorification of stupidity, participation trophies, influencers who can’t spell “influence,” and government officials who say things that would’ve gotten them laughed out of a school assembly in 1952.

Highlights include:

• A rant about warning labels and how they’re proof we’ve failed as a species

• Embert’s grandson claiming to be a “digital nomad with brand partnerships”

• An impromptu meltdown over a senator defending carjackers

• A list of things we used to teach kids before the Wi-Fi became their god

• And the unforgettable line: “You don’t need a therapist, you need a father who makes eye contact and a mother who doesn’t livestream her emotions.”

You’ll laugh, you’ll groan, you’ll probably yell “Exactly!” at least once. Or maybe you’ll just sit there stunned, realizing Embert is saying everything you’ve wanted to scream into the void for the last decade.

He’s grumpy. He’s glitchy. He forgets where he’s going mid-sentence and then roasts his grandson for not knowing how to make toast. But somehow, between the sarcasm and the static, Embert keeps delivering exactly what we all need: perspective from a time when you didn’t need a disclaimer to tell you not to lick a doorknob.

If you're new to It’s Embert, this episode is the perfect introduction. If you're a returning listener, buckle up. Embert’s fired up, barely filtered, and louder than ever—until the Wi-Fi cuts out again.

New episodes drop regularly, or whenever Embert remembers his password and hasn’t been banned from the internet for telling the truth. Subscribe, share, and for heaven’s sake, show this to someone who still believes TikTok is educational.

Well, here we go again. In this episode, Embert starts off trying to talk about gas prices—“back in my day, you could fill up your tank and still have enough left over for a pack of smokes and a hot dog!”—but quickly spirals into a rant about his grandson putting oat milk in his coffee and not knowing how to read a road atlas.

Embert reflects on the days when you didn’t need twelve apps just to drive across town and wonders aloud how we got to a place where people livestream themselves crying because their favorite sandwich was discontinued. There’s a tangent about turn signals (“they’re not optional!”), a confusing story about a squirrel in the attic that somehow turns into a metaphor for modern parenting, and a sudden musical interlude when Embert’s neighbor starts mowing the lawn mid-recording.

Of course, his grandson gets dragged into the mix again—this time for thinking the moon landing was fake and using words like “vibe check” in actual conversation. Embert doesn’t quite understand what a vibe check is, but he’s pretty sure it involves doing absolutely nothing and getting paid for it.

As always, Embert stumbles, grumbles, and fumbles his way through, but by the end, he circles back to something that sounds suspiciously like wisdom: “We didn’t have mental health days—we had ‘shut up and get back to work’ days. And you know what? We survived. Mostly.”

Tune in for another completely off-the-rails, oddly comforting dose of Embert’s rants, rambles, and reluctant wisdom. No agenda. No outline. Just Embert being Embert.

It’s Embert – Season 4 Episode 3: You Call That Parenting?

This week on It’s Embert, your favorite cranky old man with a mic is back to rip into the disaster we now call “parenting.” In Season 4, Episode 3, Embert stumbles, rants, and eventually barrels his way through one of his most passionate topics yet: the complete collapse of common sense in raising children.

Remember when “go outside and play” was the default plan, not a punishment? When “because I said so” actually meant something? Well, Embert does—and he's not afraid to remind you how far we’ve fallen. From iPads in shopping carts to kids getting participation trophies for showing up 20 minutes late, this episode is one long, painful look at what happens when you try to raise a generation without rules, structure, or a little bit of fear in their eyes when mom gave “the look.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be It’s Embert without a detour—or three. He somehow ends up on a tangent about powdered milk, tells a story about his dad fixing the furnace in a snowstorm with nothing but duct tape and rage, and naturally, roasts his grandson for thinking oat milk brands are a valid reason to spiral into a "mental health day." ("Back in my day, you drank what you were given and said thank you.")

But beneath the sarcasm and sharp tongue, there’s real wisdom: discipline isn’t abuse, structure builds confidence, and love sometimes looks like being the villain for your kid’s own good. He even offers practical advice—but not before ripping into TikTok dads, absentee fathers, and a whole generation more worried about “gentle parenting” than actual parenting.

As always, Embert takes a few swings at both political sides, makes it personal, loses his place once or twice, and somehow pulls it all back together before the credits roll. Classic chaos. Classic Embert.

Highlights include:

• Why kids today don’t fear consequences—and why they should

• “Back in my day” parenting lessons that still hold up

• A personal rant about fatherhood, responsibility, and showing up when it’s hard

• The moment Embert completely forgets what he was saying, then recovers like nothing happened

• Bonus: Embert’s grandson makes an appearance (in story form, of course)—and gets roasted

If you're a parent, grandparent, or just someone screaming at the world to “act right,” this episode is for you. No safe spaces here—just truth, grit, and one old man refusing to give in to the madness.

New episodes drop regularly—as long as Embert’s still alive, the mic still works, and society gives him something to yell about. Stay tuned.

That caught your eye, didn't it? Well, this isn't about Embert having gay sex, rather the Senator Ben Cardin having sex with a staffer in the Senate. Embert goes off the deep end, as one expects him to, as he gives us all the what for about this situation.

You read that right. Embert starts going off the deep end about neck (and face) tattoos and literally vomits while recording. Edit? Nah. Why?

Embert literally has to take extra blood pressure medication after learning that the treasonous now former state of Colorado dared to say the great President Trump cannot be on the ballot. There will be many arrested, charged with treason, and put to death upon conviction. Embert is ready to help speed the process along.
