Summary
What even is normal? In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, Rox and Rich dive into the absurd, confusing, and often unspoken rules of neurotypical behaviour.
They unpack why some people relax by drinking in loud bars, the strange obsession with small talk, and the exhausting pressure to follow a rigid life roadmap. Rich questions the morality assigned to messiness, and Rox explains why “fitting in” always came at the cost of authenticity. They break down social hierarchies, unspoken rules, and why direct communication often feels like rebellion.
If you’ve ever felt like you missed the memo on how to be “normal,” this episode will make you feel seen — and probably make you laugh.

| 0:47.4 | But certainly for the things I'm going to talk about, it makes sense, in my mind anyway. |
