Emily to Gremily

A roof full of hammering, a boyfriend guest segment derailed, and a midnight deadline set the scene for one of our most honest solos yet. I hit record anyway and invite you into the real behind-the-scenes: holiday overwhelm, schedule triage, and why staying consistent sometimes means embracing the mess. We start with two listener Gremlin stories that prove comedy is just catastrophe plus timing. R...

WARNING: This episode is unhinged as we were extremely hungover and decided to rally. Hungover honesty meets producer mode, and the contrast is the point. We open with tequila regret and bedhead confessions, then flip the switch into how we’re attempting to level up the show.

The first tale turns...

I share candid takes on how to respond when...

A pumpkin-iced coffee, a pile of YouTube ghost stories, and one spectacularly botched flirt, perfect ingredients to dig into what actually scares us. We start light and slide into the places fear hides in plain sight: backyards that vanish into darkness, sliding glass doors that turn you into a lit-up target, and the LA myth that won’t die, the Culver City “Entity” lot. From Midwest pillowcase tri...

A martini, a mental reset, and a mi, today’s solo ride goes from vulnerable to jaw‑dropping fast.
