Warning: Peter goes off about family drama right out the gate, but don't worry—it's therapeutic AF.

This week, the beautiful disasters tackle what happens when you stop settling for boring shit and start actually living. Carissa face-planted while waterskiing for the first time (10/10 would recommend), Peter serves family drama realness, and Shaun's making jalapeño cocktails that could send you to the ER.

We're unpacking why our generation feels guilty about choosing happiness, why Miami canceled democracy like a Netflix subscription, and how tourism protests are getting violent because some people can't behave abroad. Plus: $1,300 health insurance premiums, the housing crisis hitting the ultra-rich, and why Peter and Shaun completely forgot their 12-year anniversary until Carissa reminded them in Puerto Rico.

Bottom line: Life's too short to waterski badly, deal with toxic family, or live where elections are optional. Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is embrace the beautiful disaster.

Perfect for: Anyone dealing with family toxicity, people who think they're "too old" for new adventures, and millennials questioning literally everything.

Contains: Therapeutic ranting, waterskiing fails, relationship milestones, and discussions about why some people need to mind their own business.
