About this episode
The episode explores themes of nostalgia, aesthetics, and mental health through discussions on pop culture and personal reflections.
This week on Well Being, Theo and Andy are flying duo while Kel gets dragged into the mortal realm of work.

Theo celebrates a holy day of personal significance: a new album drop from Gorillaz, complete with an 8-minute hand-drawn short and vinyl variants acquired like sacred relics. Meanwhile, Andy falls headfirst into an unexpected obsession with Columbo, discovering that the pilot was directed by a baby-faced Steven Spielberg — and realizing procedural television hasn’t quite felt the same since. From there? We spiral (lovingly) into: Wizard-core aesthetics and curated maximalism Dream homes vs. the homes we actually live in Victorian manors, arcade basements, gothic rod iron fences Jacuzzi tubs as emotional reset chambers The quiet mental health impact of “keeping up appearances” And of course… an extended Doctor Who corner featuring David Tennant, Rose heartbreak, Donna supremacy, and why some regenerations are better left skipped. In our Mental Health portion, we dive deeper into Goblin Mode Guide to Life, unpacking what it means to unlearn performative perfection…
