Look, we’ve all had a shocker at the checkout, but Harrison spending $112 on ciggies in 12 hours is actually elite-level chaos. He’s spiraling because his parents are coming to visit and he’s lost a pack of golds somewhere in the house—wish him luck, because Ash is not holding back on the "disappointed dad" energy.

The vibe is high-energy and slightly chaotic this week as the team recaps Harrison’s preparation for his comedy show. It turns out that "show prep" for Harrison involves trying to look cool in a car park with a cigarette, only to lose the pack and have to buy another one immediately. With a total spend of $112 in less than a day, he’s now terrified his parents will find the "lost" evidence when they visit for his big debut. Ash is definitely not impressed, leading to a pretty heavy chat about why smoking is the ultimate "ick" and the real-world consequences that hit a bit too close to home.
When we weren't debating Harrison's life choices, we were geeking out over Billie Eilish’s recent podcast appearance. Did you know she’s watched The Office over 30 times? That’s 92 straight days of Michael Scott. It sparked a massive debate in the studio about our own comfort shows, from Gavin & Stacey to the "trash" (Ash's words!) of Big Bang Theory. It’s a classic look at how we all use a bit of telly to keep the ADHD brain quiet and the vibes grounded.
The conversation took a sentimental turn when Yas shared her fears about growing up and moving out of her share house. Inspired by The Inspired Unemployed, she’s ready to commit to the "commune life" forever, much to the amusement of the rest of the crew. Whether it’s building a group of houses on a big block of land or just refusing to leave the flat, the team explores the beauty—and the inevitable end—of your early 20s. Stick around for a round of "First and Last" lyrics that proves Neeps is more Limp Bizkit than any of us ever realized.
