Beschrijving

In this episode, we’re offering our deepest condolences… to society. And especially to anyone who’s had to deal with men on a daily basis. We get into: -insecure men vs the ones who are actually secure -men who aren’t threatened by something as harmless as nail paint -how some people will compliment your things but never you (Utkarsh’s gym story) -why being real is so hard for some people -men struggling to accept people who don’t fit into neat little boxes -following “norms” without questioning them… and calling that strength? -a rare win: what secure masculinity actually looks like (Muskan’s brother) -Straight people still acting weird around queer people in the big 2026 -Anything feminine = instantly looked down upon (for everyone) -judging women for liking “feminine” things (BTS, Harry Styles etc.) Anyway, it’s a lot. Fragile masculinity, questionable behaviour, and some much-needed reality checks. about the podcast: might as well is a conversational podcast about life, identity, ambition, culture, and the things people pretend to have figured out. It’s chaotic, a little unhinged, sometimes funny, sometimes real — but mostly just two people thinking out loud about life. Because honestly, life’s messy. You might as well do what you love and figure it out as you go. follow us: instagram  Utkarsh: https://www.instagram.com/felisfella/ [https://www.instagram.com/felisfella/]  Muskan: https://www.instagram.com/muskanvurmaa/ [https://www.instagram.com/muskanvurmaa/]  spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1N3JtKW...

Is 'being cringe' a trend now? | might as well ep. 7

In this episode, we’re basically asking… why is everyone so scared of being seen trying? And who are we even performing for? We get into: * being afraid of being perceived while trying * the difference between actually trying vs just performing * turning everything into a “moment” (reading in public, having matcha, etc.) * who is this performance even for… strangers? * how anything can become a trend instead of just being genuine * doing things on your own terms than doing what’s considered cool * Alysa Liu and her “might as well” energy * not being the “perfect” version and still showing up anyway * embracing cringe to become free  * the pressure to be perfect and polished in the dance community * bringing back being real instead of just curated and snatched * people showing up, having fun, getting gigs… regardless of how “good” they are We also talk about Utkarsh getting recognised from followers coming up to him, to the energy at the pride parade; and how people around us are slowly catching onto the “might as well” mindset. Trying, performing, and questioning what’s actually real. Life’s short. Might as well do what you want. And honestly… it’s about time you did too. about the podcast: might as well is a conversational podcast about life, identity, ambition, culture, and the things people pretend to have figured out. It’s chaotic, a little unhinged, sometimes funny, sometimes real — but mostly just two people thinking out loud about life. Because honestly, life’s messy.

ADHD, Periods & Being Queer — Why 9-to-5 Systems Don't Work For Anyone | might as well ep-6

We got stuck in traffic after dance class and accidentally dismantled work-life balance. Typical. Work-life balance doesn't actually work — especially if you have ADHD, if you menstruate, or if you exist outside the default. In this episode, we talk about energy cycles, period leave being treated like a radical concept, and how systems are built by cis het men for cis het men. We also joke about the trans bill and people within marginalized communities who still defend the systems crushing them. New episode of Might As Well. about the podcast: might as well is a conversational podcast about life, identity, ambition, culture, and the things people pretend to have figured out. It’s chaotic, a little unhinged, sometimes funny, sometimes real, but mostly just two people thinking out loud about life. Because honestly, life’s messy.

My knees are broken but so is everything else! | might as well ep. 4

went to a party, bruised my knees, and somehow ended up questioning men, capitalism, and existence! In this episode of might as well, we start with a chaotic night out, dancing, getting on stage, and waking up with actual broken knees and spiral into something much deeper. We talk about: – what dating feels like after a breakup – becoming emotionally detached (or just… practical?) – seeing attraction as a chemical reaction instead of something romantic – why everything starts to feel fake when you overthink it enough – capitalism, work culture, and the idea of “retirement” – and whether life is even meant to be lived this way somewhere along the way, we ask: if nothing was really our choice to begin with… why are we still trying so hard to do everything “right”? maybe the only real answer is: do what you want. feel what you feel. And stop taking everything so seriously. Life’s messy.

Fire sign vs Earth sign (we exposed ourselves) | might as well ep. 3

In this episode, Utkarsh and Muskan delve into astrology, zodiac signs, and horoscopes. From taking a trip down memory lane when Muskan shares why she wanted to be a certain zodiac sign because both her parents had that sun sign…to talking about Co–Star, the astrology app.They also explore the details of Utkarsh’s chart, for which they ask his birth details from his mother and attempt to make an account on Co–Star (spoiler alert: the app crashes).Later, Muskan shares her opinions on why Utkarsh is often mistaken for a Leo instead of his actual sign. The whole episode is lighthearted and playful, since neither of them takes astrology too seriously as their knowledge mostly comes from memes.about the podcast:might as well is a conversational podcast about life, identity, ambition, culture, and the things people pretend to have figured out.It’s chaotic, a little unhinged, sometimes funny, sometimes real, but mostly just two people thinking out loud about life.Because honestly, life’s messy.You might as well do what you love and figure it out as you go.follow us:instagram Utkarsh: https://www.instagram.com/felisfella/Muskan: https://www.instagram.com/muskanvurmaa/spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1N3JtKWsV61d1XSCw3JiDN?si=675a908a6cc64603youtube: Fire sign vs Earth sign (we exposed ourselves) | might as well ep. 3 [https://www.youtube.com/@mightaswellshow]
