The Idea Of... Not Making Sense Here

In another revealing episode, Mike and Bassey unpack what it means to feel out of place—in your body, your home, your city, your friendships, and even your own story.

What starts as a reflection on jaw alignment and dental school consultations quickly turns into a vulnerable conversation about aging, displacement, cosmetic culture, class, identity, and the very real loneliness that creeps into our lives when the noise fades and the invitations stop.

Mike shares what it feels like to live in a big, beautiful house in North Carolina that feels too big, too empty—and too disconnected from who he once was. Bassey opens up about being in a city that doesn't quite "fit," navigating parenthood as a single mom, and struggling with the dissonance between the life she imagined and the one she’s living.


Yeah, it's one of THOSE episodes...
