Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, Edie and AD try to answer a question that quickly spirals… who actually has it harder? What starts as a conversation about growing up in different generations turns into a real back-and-forth on social media, school pressure, friendships, and why high school feels like a completely different world now. AD opens up about the reality of navigating friend groups, snap maps, and the constant pressure to say the right thing, while Edie looks back on a time without all the noise and wonders if it really was easier or just simpler. They get into everything from landlines and note-passing to cancel culture, college expectations, and the weird politics of lunch tables. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly honest about how different life can feel depending on where you’re sitting. At the core of it, it’s not really about who had it harder. It’s about trying to understand each other while living in completely different versions of the same world. And like always, they may not agree… but they’ll figure it out together.   LETS GET SOCIAL: Edie: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/ediedyasthompson/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ediethompson88) Facebook - (https://www.facebook.com/ediedyasthompson)   AD: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/thompson_anndyas/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@ad77312)   It’s Not That Deep: Instagram - (https://www.instagram.com/itsnotthatdeepthepod/) Tiktok - (https://www.tiktok.com/@itsnotthatdeepthepod)   Produced and Edited by: The Cast Collective (Nashville, TN) YouTube – (‪ @TheCastCollective ) Instagram – (https://www.instagram.com/TheCastCollective) TikTok – (https://www.tiktok.com/@castcollective)
