Mission trips are out. No one needs your savior complex in 2024 **UNEDITED**
In this raw, unedited episode of Not Well, Bobby and Jim dive into an assortment of personal, humorous, and thought-provoking topics. The episode starts with Bobby revealing a recent life decision: he got Botox for the first time, leading to a lighthearted and detailed discussion about beauty treatments, anti-aging, and skincare routines. Jim shares his own skincare journey, discussing the importance of moisturizing and his use of specific products. They both laugh about how these routines have slowly taken over their lives, from feeling “glowy” to the pressures of having a regular skincare regimen.
From there, the conversation shifts to body image issues, where they talk about how societal standards of beauty—especially in the queer community—can make people feel the need to constantly enhance their appearance. They poke fun at their own obsessions with staying youthful and looking “perfect,” but the humor doesn’t stop the underlying message of the pressures gay men face around body image.
Next, the pair turns their attention to one of Bobby’s upcoming trips to Kansas City, where he plans to explore the local gay scene. They speculate about what to expect, from seedy clubs to potential hookups, while blending humor and anticipation about this Midwest gay adventure.
The conversation takes a more critical turn when they discuss the problematic nature of mission trips, describing them as outdated and patronizing. They criticize how people go on these trips under the guise of “helping,” but really, they do more harm than good by reinforcing colonialist mindsets and doing little to create lasting change.
The discussion circles back to modern-day internet habits, particularly their annoyance with clickbait culture. Bobby explains his frustration with being misled by sensationalist YouTube thumbnails and exaggerated headlines. The hosts dig into how everything in today's world is about getting someone to "click," reflecting on how media and advertising have evolved to manipulate people's attention for profit.
The duo finds themselves going off on tangents, discussing everything from the awkwardness of being around elderly people who can't communicate, to the annoyance of outdoor smells, and their general frustrations with daily life.
Towards the end, Bobby vents about a frustrating work situation where a colleague condescended to him, adding another layer of relatability to the episode. The episode wraps up with their usual quirky and unscripted fare, leaving listeners with plenty of laughs and several memorable takeaways.
This episode showcases their ability to mix comedy with deeper reflections on societal norms, all while maintaining an unfiltered, carefree vibe that’s become a hallmark of Not Well. From Botox confessions to clickbait rants, the episode is a whirlwind of humor, critique, and relatable gay cul
