Episode 124 – Hedonist
Andy and Roger unpack the dopamine-fuelled cycle of consumerism, exploring why we chase material satisfaction despite knowing it never lasts. From Roger’s new high-end microphone to Andy’s fleeting obsession with kitchen gadgets, they discuss how modern shopping habits, brand prestige, and the “prosumer” mindset shape our spending.
They also debate whether luxury Chinese cars will ever be taken seriously in the West, the psychology behind collecting, and why some products (like Swiss watches) hold their value while others (like Roger’s infamous glass boots) age into regret. Plus, they reveal their worst impulse buys—including a Flying V guitar, a vinyl player gathering dust, and a failed attempt at creating the ultimate poker den.
