What is Wholesome Fun?

The podcast explores the concept of "wholesome fun," contrasting it with non-wholesome activities, primarily differentiated by the role of alcohol. Wholesome activities prioritize connection and shared experiences over intoxication. Golfing, couple's Olympics, and board games are highlighted as examples, emphasizing the importance of positive interactions, light physical activity, and shared goals. The hosts also consider whether alcohol can be incorporated into wholesome activities, concluding that it can be a "guest" rather than the "host." They further explore the idea that longer-term activities foster deeper connections and a sense of achievement, contributing to the overall feeling of satisfaction associated with wholesome fun. The discussion also touches on the surprising wholesomeness of online activities like playing Minecraft with friends.
