  • The ADHD Catch-22
    Jun 3 2026

    This episode starts with front porch sitting, back patio sitting, and a full-blown ADHD rabbit hole about building a home gym — because apparently installing a light was too boring.

    Belushi and Wiggins unpack the ultimate ADHD Catch-22: wanting structure, wanting organization, wanting to do the thing… and then immediately fighting your own brain when it’s time to actually do it. From home gyms and camping setups to overstimulation, masking, parenting, safe people catching strays, and the guilt that shows up after you snap, this one hits the funny and the honest at the same time.

    It’s about the version of us that shows up when the nervous system is cooked, why the people we love most sometimes get the leftover version, and how ADHD awareness can help us stop labeling ourselves as broken and start understanding the operating system.

    Also: Walmart feet, wasps, Fred Durst, perimenopause, and the eternal question — “Am I overstimulated, or am I just an asshole?”

    Vibe up. Helmet on.

  • ADHD's Pre-workout: Watch Me
    May 27 2026

    What happens when someone tells an ADHD brain, “You can’t do that”?

    Apparently, it enters god-like productivity mode.

    In this episode, Wiggins and Belushi dig into the weird, hilarious, and painfully accurate way ADHD brains can suddenly activate when doubt, criticism, or being underestimated hits the nervous system just right. What looks like spite from the outside might actually be emotional activation — the thing that unlocks focus, momentum, and terrifying levels of “watch me.”

    They swap stories about proving people wrong in music, sports, business, college, careers, and everyday life — from opening a bottle shop to avoiding 8 a.m. classes to finally doing the thing that has been sitting on the list for way too long.

    It’s funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly real: maybe the goal is not needing someone else’s doubt forever, but learning how to create the right kind of activation for ourselves.

    Helmet on. Vibe up. And to the doubters: thank you for your service.

  • ADHD Superpowers
    May 20 2026

    ADHD is usually framed as chaos, distraction, and struggle. And sure, some of that is true. But there’s another side that doesn’t get talked about enough.

    In this episode, Belushi and Wiggins dig into the hidden strengths that can come with ADHD — empathy, loyalty, kindness, emotional awareness, and the ability to stay weirdly calm when life gets loud.

    This isn’t about pretending ADHD is easy or turning it into some fake superhero pitch. It’s about recognizing that the same brain that forgets where it put its keys might also be the one that notices when someone else is hurting.

    For the neurodivergent, the ADHD parents, the beautifully chaotic, and anyone trying to understand the people they love a little better.

    Vibe up. Helmet on.
