About this listen
Welcome back to the Superlatively Yes podcast.
Somewhere between IKEA and a hotel room fiasco, we officially stopped caring — and honestly, it felt healthy.
This episode is brought to you by the new official members of the "We Do Not Care Anymore Club." After leaving the house, traveling to San Antonio, and then immediately returning home, only to be unexpectedly confined indoors for over a week, Tanya and Jen are processing life, culture, movies, and expectations in real time with humor, honesty, and zero filter.
They talk about the emotional whiplash of travel followed by forced stillness, including a hotel room fiasco that will absolutely make you feel better about your own travel stories. There's commentary on IKEA, hotel logic that makes no sense, and the strange way being stuck inside recalibrates what you suddenly care about… and what you absolutely do not.
The conversation weaves through movies, modern culture, and the propaganda we're all subtly falling for — productivity myths, lifestyle pressure, and the unspoken rules we've accepted without ever agreeing to them. Tanya and Jen also explore what they may be opting out of heading into 2026, and why choosing comfort, clarity, and humor might actually be the most rebellious move.
If you've ever come home from a trip exhausted, questioned why everything feels so loud, or found yourself thinking "I simply cannot care about this anymore," this episode will feel like sitting in a hotel room with friends, laughing through the chaos and making peace with where you actually are.
Come for the San Antonio stories. Stay for the cultural observations. Leave feeling validated, entertained, and significantly less alone.
