In this episode, we explore emotional comedowns after big events and are asking where are all the normal, smart people?


After Josh's mammoth 2 week book tour, we dive into what life feels like after this as normalcy sets in. We dig into why people often crash after big events and how to navigate that period.


From there, we move into a conversation about our society.


It seems to hard right are winning. Despite Labour winning a huge majority in the UK election, the popular vote tells another story.


If Proportional Representation existed, they would have 236 vs 411 seats, and Reform would have 94 vs 5 seats. It’s not quite the left victory when you look at this way.


Similar (and potentially more worrying) things happening in the US and across Europe.


The hard left is equally divisive and isolating. You're either in it, or you're the other side.


Fringes seem to be getting bigger and louder. The majority middle seems quiet and inert.


The people who can stop the nutters seem to be underground or sleeping.


So, we're asking where are all the normal people hiding?
