It's the energy of being exhausted by everything but still showing up and having a laugh about it. Hosted by Lazar, supported by Edward, with guests willing to go, well, anywhere! Weekly conversations focus on a singular topic through lenses of culture, online antics, identity, taste - or lack thereof - and the general chaos of being a person in these unprecedented times.
