Description

I hope we all had a lot of fun saying how we didnt care about the Super Bowl—like sitting here, analyzing human nature somehow makes me superior to a halftime show and a plate of nachos. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.

In this episode, Pill and Tragic dive into something just as primal as a touchdown celebration—our obsession with looking to the cavemen and hunter-gatherer ancestors for answers about how to live. Why do we keep reaching back to a time when survival meant outrunning a saber-toothed tiger, thinking it holds the key to modern happiness?

It turns out, this instinct to seek wisdom from the past is deeply human—it’s how we make sense of the present. But is it always the best move? From ancestral diets to relationship dynamics, Pill and Tragic break down why we romanticize the Stone Age and whether those primal blueprints actually help—or just give us an excuse to dodge accountability.


What You’ll Uncover:

🦴 Caveman Logic: Why we idolize our ancestors and what it says about us.

🔍 The Human Time Machine: How nostalgia shapes our decisions—good and bad.

🤔 Is It a Cop-Out? When "going back to our roots" becomes an excuse to avoid growth.


Why Listen?


Sharp Analysis Meets Self-Awareness: If you like your philosophy with a side of humor, you’re in the right place.

Ancient Instincts, Modern Problems: Understand why looking back feels so good—but isn’t always right.

For Thinkers and Overthinkers: Whether you're chasing wisdom or just chasing a new rabbit hole, this episode has something for you.

Tap in—because the past might not have all the answers, but it sure has all the questions.
