S4E1: Season Premiere! feat. Resting Clown Face 🤡

Season 4 of That’s the Spirit is here! Why getting dressed can feel existential, murder in the cereal aisle, the great Midwestern duck sweater of 2026, and seeing a famous person at a writing festival. What to do when you're happier to see a friend than they are, laughing at a funderal,  and absurd emoji-ing.  What we're into, what we're worried about, where we've been and our outfits of the week. We're back!
