And then I just kinda then like I feel the sun on my skin and I just go, eh I don't want to kill myself.” That’s how Matt opens this episode of The Hangover Podcast — a raw, offhand confession that sets the tone for a conversation that’s less about news and more about the texture of daily life, shared among friends who know each other well enough to be honest.
This is not a structured interview or a deep dive into a single topic. It’s a hangout — three people (Matt, Chauncey, and an absent Hatter) trading observations about spring break chaos at work, the movies they’ve been watching, the music they’re listening to, and the cultural figures who fascinate them. The throughline is not a thesis but a mood: the particular blend of exhaustion, humor, and sharp pop-culture commentary that defines casual conversation among people in their twenties navigating work, allergies, and the endless churn of entertainment.

Show Notes
Spring is here and we are NOT okay, but we're showing up anyway because that's what bad b*tches do.
This week on The Hangover, Chauncey is joined by Gen Z bestie Matt while Heather takes the week off. We're kicking off with spring break survival stories and asking the real question: where did childhood go?
Then we slide into full pop culture mode. We're breaking down Self/less with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, Glen Powell in The Running Man, and the movie everyone is talking about, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson in The Drama. We have theories and we need answers. Euphoria Season 3 is almost here, we revisit why The Idol was a disaster, and we stan Michaela Coel in Chewing Gum with our whole chest. Slayyyter just dropped Worst Girl in America and it sounds like ketchup but more cocaine. The Weeknd tried to act again. We have thoughts.
