Buckle up. Episode 9 of Average On Purpose features our guest Patrick, who worked at the NSA during the same era Edward Snowden was there. Patrick joins us for a chaotic, laugh-heavy, mini therapy session where we ask the questions everyone wants to ask—and he shares what he can share. Expect real talk, uncomfortable truths, and the kind of “wait… what?” moments that make you pause and rewind.

• What it was like working inside the NSA during that time, and what the public doesn’t understand about how it all works

• How security culture actually feels day-to-day: training, protocols, paranoia, and the unspoken rules

• Patrick’s perspective on the Snowden era and the ripple effects that changed everything

• What people assume about intelligence work vs. what it’s really like behind the scenes

• The line between “spilling the beans” and what he legally/ethically can’t say—and how weird that line is in real life

• A few unexpectedly human moments: stress, identity, humor as coping, and why people inside the system are still just people

This episode is unhinged in the best way. We spiral from Heated Rivalry obsession straight into military conspiracies, including S.A.B.E.R., the alleged secret term tied to extraterrestrials. Add in unfiltered admissions we did not plan to share and you get classic Average on Purpose chaos. Pop culture, paranoia, and feral honesty collide. Listener discretion is strongly suggested.

In this hilarious episode of Average on Purpose, the hosts dive straight into unfiltered chaos: Hunger Games-style birthday parties, whether people should be vaping on airplanes, and a raw conversation about using the R-word, accountability, and personal growth. With their usual blend of humor, self-awareness, and zero-filter commentary, they break down why society is so quick to judge, how trends spiral out of control, and what it actually looks like to own your mistakes publicly.

This episode is packed with outrageous stories, ridiculous reenactments, and the kind of honest conversation you only get when the mics are on and the social masks are off. If you're into comedic social commentary, real-life hot takes, and unapologetically average humans being themselves, you’re in the right place.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the chaos, comedy, and catharsis of queer nightlife and pop culture, starting with the new HBO series Heated Rivalry. We talk about why it’s already becoming appointment television, how it captures the messy beauty of queer competition, and the real-life moments that make the show hit a little too close to home.

From there, we take a trip down memory lane into the gay bar traumas that shaped us. Remember that time I was forced onstage to dance against an Abercrombie model? Because apparently nothing builds character like being unwillingly entered into a twink-adjacent Thunderdome. And yes, we revisit the legendary night a drag queen grabbed my face like a Victorian governess, powder-puffed me within an inch of my life, and sent me back into the crowd looking like I’d been baked at 350 degrees.

But what’s a night out without a little chaos? We unpack gay bar fights: the petty, the passionate, and the downright bizarre. From parking-lot showdowns in six-inch heels to the kind of shouting matches that only start because someone said the wrong thing about Carly Rae Jepsen, we cover it all.

Then we pivot to the rise of smut books on BookTok. Why is queer romance dominating the algorithm? What draws people to these spicy, unhinged stories? And are we as a society okay with how bold the recommendations have become? Probably not—and that’s exactly why we love it.

This episode blends pop culture, personal disaster, nightlife anthropology, and the specific flavor of comedy that only comes from surviving the queer social arena. If you’ve ever lost a dance-off, been glitter-assaulted by a drag queen, witnessed a bar fight over a Britney deep cut, or spent hours scrolling BookTok’s spiciest corners, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we spiral through the pop-culture madness of the week: crashing out mentally and physically, Ariana Grande and Cynthia’s strangely awkward Wicked tour energy, Thanksgiving chaos, Caitlyn Jenner’s now-infamous stain moment, and the bizarre world of the Costco Pokémon-card hoarders. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly the kind of cultural soup we love to stir.

In this eye-opening episode we dig into the weird, the wild and the hidden: from mysterious disappearances like the Missing 411 cases to the secret rites of Bohemian Grove; from the controversies around the Moon Landing to sightings of Bigfoot; and the untold stories behind Scientology. We’ll uncover what connects these threads of “what you don’t know,” challenge what you thought was settled, and explore how power, mystery and society’s fringes collide. Whether you’re into conspiracy theories, missing-persons mysteries, or unexplained phenomena, this deep-dive has something for you.

A raw, honest podcast about growing up inside the church and private school systems—and what happens when we start to unpack the trauma left behind. Join us as we talk about faith, fear, guilt, identity, and healing after religion. From purity culture to power dynamics, from spiritual manipulation to rediscovering who we are—we’re diving into the stories we were told, and the ones we’re finally telling for ourselves.
