About this listen

 A fun and lively conversation between two guys that grew up across 4 decades through the analog phase of walk-talkie technology, climbing trees, playing outside, collecting trading cards and really cool action figure toys to today where they like to hang 10 on the wave of technology; now both are parents who now get to see the world through the eyes of our kids and love to reminisce about glory days of the world we grew up in… Hosted by Ausha.

    #89-The Myth of Catching Up
    Feb 9 2026

    This week, Bret and Josh take on one of adulthood’s biggest lies: the idea that we’ll eventually “catch up.” From inbox-zero fantasies to the promise that life will slow down after just one more thing, they unpack why being “done” no longer exists—and why that’s not a personal failure.


    It’s a light, funny look at modern life, endless to-do lists, and the relief that comes from realizing there was never a finish line in the first place.

    #85-You are not a loser
    Feb 8 2026

    This week on TFMT, Bret and Josh unpack why we’re always losing and forgetting things — from keys and phones to entire trains of thought. Spoiler: it’s not aging or carelessness. It’s interruption. A funny, relatable look at how modern life quietly wrecks our memory… and why it’s not something to beat yourself up over.

    #87- Nobody Agreed to This
    Jan 9 2026

    This week, Bret and Josh break down the unspoken rules of adult life that everyone follows—and no one remembers agreeing to. From workplace etiquette and social norms to travel behavior and tech expectations, they unpack why we comply, what happens when we don’t, and which rules deserve to disappear forever. Funny, relatable, and slightly therapeutic.
