Nobody Has An Interesting Backstory And I'm Bored

I’m not here to romanticize your gap year, your overpriced undergrad degree, or your trauma-laced pizza in Florence. This episode is a full-on takedown of the curated middle-class “backstory”—where camel rides are spiritual journeys, every inconvenience is a crisis, and people think their lives are movies when they’re barely Instagram reels.

We’re diving into why modern storytelling sucks, how trauma has become currency, and why protest culture feels more like a weekend hobby than a revolutionary act. I break down why I live in the outback (hint: people there still know they’re shit), why everyone’s personality is a carbon copy of the same IKEA template, and how we’ve flattened real experience into branded bios and Pinterest boards.

We’re talking identity-as-marketing, trauma inflation, the demise of creativity, and why everyone’s kids are insufferable. Plus: the secret to a good story, why weird is better than polished, and how we’ve all collectively forgotten how to be interesting.

If you’ve ever said “I’m going to be such a cool parent because I ate pizza in Florence,” this one’s for you.

The video you just watched is totally a work of fiction. 100% UNTRUE. Total lies. A fever dream inside a dream journal inside a haunted Etch-A-Sketch. Any similarities to real life people, places, events, entities, medical clinics, outback towns, or men named Drest Levesque with perfect bone structure is purely coincidental. Also, the Agents Richard Briscoe totally did not force me to write this. I did so of my own volition.

While we’re on the subject, the Agents Richard Briscoe definitely don’t have suspiciously shiny foreheads and matching haircuts. Because they, as we all know, don’t exist and obviously none of this ever happened.

For real, for real. Never happened. None of it. Ever. Not a doctor. Definately not from the year 4000. Nope. Nada. Believe that.
