In this episode of Manic Joy, Dave and Reese return after a summer break to sip coffee (spiked with Kahlúa), unpack the viral Coldplay kiss cam drama, and spiral into everything from public meltdowns to AI-written student essays. Reese recounts her blood pressure saga, her obsession with internet sleuths, and the existential dread of watching your childhood idols implode. Plus: water aerobics with a beer in hand, the creeping rise of AI influencers, and a call for more humanity in a world too eager to hit “record.”
