My no-comedy podcast rule is making me miserable

I chose to listen to more learning stuff and dropped all comedy pods. Now my daily walks are just boring talks, and I'm grumpy. Maybe balance is key.

My friend ditched comedy for only educational audio books. He ended up so bored he started talking to his mailman just for fun.

What gets me is the idea that comedy is just empty fun. It actually trains your brain to spot weird connections and surprises, which is its own kind of smart. Cutting it out completely is like only eating vitamins and never having a meal you actually enjoy. Real talk, your friend's brain was probably starving for that random, happy spark. No wonder the mailman became the most interesting part of his day.

Educational content builds real skills, comedy is just distraction.
