In this episode, David and Liz catch up and cover the important topics like whether there is such a thing as a topic too sacred to joke about, whether Karens are just miserable, or there is another undiagnosed factor fueling the behavior, and what’s just as good now as it was when you first experienced it back in childhood?

In this episode of GATER, Liz and David tackle what happens when your lifelong passions turn into obligations that no longer spark joy. They dive deep into burnout's sneaky signs—like extreme demand avoidance on 5-minute tasks—and why rest alone sometimes isn't enough when your nervous system is running on spite. Plus: the ultimate betrayal—when your favorite product gets discontinued, and wrap it up with what probably won't be the last time we talk about "The Ick.” And don’t forget to check out our official merch shop: gater-official-shop.fourthwall.com (http://gater-official-shop.fourthwall.com)

Gifted and Talented Education Rejects is a podcast for the brilliant, the burned-out, and the bizarre. Hosted by two former prodigies turned creative misfits, Liz and David dive into the strange aftermath of being the “smart kid” who didn’t follow the plan.

Funny, raw, and deeply specific, this show is for the ones who qualified but were never picked. It’s not too late. Grab your stickers and spiral notebooks. We’re starting over—on our terms.
