175. No Unc Can Outchop Us

Hungover from our joint weekday bender, we take stock of our habits after watching Netflix’s three-part Matthew Perry docuseries, asking ourselves questions about addiction, substance abuse, and New York’s always-one-more-round drinking culture, all before learning which decile we land in among America’s top drinkers. Then, we get into the New York Times story on why 30-year-olds aren’t hitting the milestones their parents did by key ages — marriage, kids, a house of their own — and the forces behind this generational shift: $6,000 two-bedrooms, freelance instability, and the impending doom of one bad medical bill. Plus: a seven-drink Greenpoint bar crawl, NA beer math, ketamine therapy, and what it means that neither of us is in the right headspace to cook a basic dinner at the ripe age of 33.
