Emily to Gremily

One wrong Snapchat can ruin a date in seconds and somehow that’s not even the wildest moment here. I’m sipping a raspberry vodka spritz and reading listener submissions that bounce between laugh-out-loud cringe, real-life fear, and the kind of gossip that makes you pause and ask, “What would I do?” If you like story-driven comedy with sharp takes, you’re in the right place.

We start with Gremlin Stories: a college party bathroom fiasco that’s equal parts gross and iconic, followed by a jaw-dropping “first lobster” experience that turns into a terrifying discovery of a shellfish allergy. That leads into a real talk sidebar on allergies, allergy shots, needles, and why carrying an EpiPen is serious business, not an overreaction.

Then Gremlin Guidance gets personal and practical with modern dating advice: how long to wait before sleeping with someone, why there’s no universal rule, and what matters most when you’re rebuilding confidence and boundaries after a long relationship. Gremlin Gossip brings the heat with a reunion date exposed by an accidental Snapchat message and a revenge story that forces a real debate about bullying trauma, cheating, and whether payback ever counts as healing.

You know that split second when you see something you can’t unsee and your stomach drops, because telling the truth might blow up someone’s whole life? We’re starting there, with an anonymous listener who swears she saw her best friend’s fiancé kiss another woman at a train station, only to get hit with the worst kind of denial: accusations, name-calling, and a friendship suddenly on ice. We talk through what you can do next when you don’t have “proof,” how to pull in a mutual friend without turning it into a witch hunt, and how to protect your own sanity when you’re made into the villain.

Then we lean into the anonymous confession energy that makes this show so fun and so brutally honest. There’s a Florida beach town party story that spirals from no food and too many drinks into bar security, police attention, and an arrest. We unpack the unglamorous reality behind “wild nights,” plus the simplest harm-reduction basics that people skip until they learn the hard way.

Finally, it’s wedding gossip time, and it’s unreal: vows that should’ve stayed private and a literal “speak now” moment where someone actually stands up to object. If you like messy storytelling, relationship advice, and wedding drama with real takeaways, you’ll have plenty to debate.

A pop culture recap shouldn’t feel like homework, it should feel like texting your funniest friend after one drink too many. We’re doing our first June pop culture roundup with Jay back on the mic, and yes, we start exactly where we always start: questionable tequila choices, personal updates, and a surprise confession that turns into an argument about whether a grown adult can refuse training wheels and still expect progress.

From there, we get into the real chaos of modern dating and dating apps. We talk Hinge matches, IRL bar encounters, online dating safety instincts, and the kind of red flags that make you block first and process later. The headline story: a “seemingly normal” guy who cold-called and then proudly announced he saves his tears in jars, separated by energy. If you’ve ever wondered whether the algorithm is trying to ruin your life, we have notes.

We also zoom out to the creator side of the internet. We attempted a 75-day content challenge and failed, then unpack why filming is the easy part and editing plus consistency is the actual job. Add in TikTok quiz trends that humble you in public, a briefly “horny” algorithm, and we’re basically building a case that the feed is sentient.

On the pop culture TV and news front, we break down 90 Day Fiance madness (including Last Resort levels of TMI), then dive into Tyra Banks, Netflix’s Reality Check, and why America’s Next Top Model still has a long shadow when it comes to toxic beauty standards and accountability. We wrap with the internet’s favorite surprise spokesperson, Elmo, and his accidental sports discourse moment.

He brought his mom to the breakup dinner. She sat behind the table like a coach, then swooped in to physically collect her 26-year-old son when things didn’t go his way. That story alone is worth the listen, but it’s just the closer on a full lineup of worst breakup stories from listeners who have truly been through it.

We start with my post-Vegas reset routine and then jump straight into the chaos: dating a neighbor who won’t take no for an answer, revenge-loud hookups through the walls, and the very real reality of feeling trapped when you share a building with an ex. I also tell my own worst breakup story, where ending an engagement doesn’t end the control. Living together after the breakup turns into months of stress, threats, and the kind of messy logistics nobody warns you about when they say “just leave.”

Then we get into betrayal, humiliation, and the moments that permanently change how you see love: a Valentine’s Day flower delivery that exposes cheating in the most poetic way, a restaurant breakup that becomes a public sob-fest, and a confession that’s equal parts shocking and oddly hopeful because it ends with therapy and accountability. Along the way, we talk boundaries, emotional maturity, toxic relationship patterns, and why some breakups hurt most in the aftermath.

A shy crush, one reckless wish, and a horror movie that’s way too good to forget. Robert’s back with me, and our night out watching Obsession sparks a real conversation about what happens when people refuse to say the obvious thing out loud, then act surprised when everything spirals. We keep it spoiler-free, but we do pull the thread on insecurity, “having game,” and why direct communication is the least scary option.

Then we dive into a full round of Gremlin Guidance relationship advice, starting with a question that always gets people fired up: is it toxic to feel turned on when your boyfriend gets possessive? We break down the difference between controlling jealousy and genuine protection when someone won’t respect your no. From there, we tackle the anxiety behind not missing your spouse during time apart, and why alone time in a healthy relationship can be a reset, not a red flag.

Things get sharper when we talk dating boundaries and seriousness: how long is “too long” to wait to meet a partner’s family and how to ask the question without turning it into an interrogation. We also go deep on a dream job opportunity that requires moving to another state, plus one of the most upsetting topics: group chats that degrade women and involve non-consensual photos. We end lighter, but still honest, with the “perfect man” who’s the worst kisser and what you can do about it.

A lemon drop martini, a full inbox, and absolutely no chill. We’re reading listener submissions that go from “I can’t believe that happened” to “I would move countries,” starting with a road trip to Zion that gets derailed by an IBS emergency. If you’ve ever had your body betray you at the worst possible moment, you’ll feel seen.

Next, we dig into dating red flags with a dinner date that turns creepy when a guy tries to pitch an explicit fantasy. We talk through the whiplash of realizing you’re not on a normal date anymore, why you don’t owe politeness to someone pushing boundaries, and how trusting your gut can be a real safety skill, especially with modern dating through Instagram.

Then we shift into Gremlin Guidance: what it actually means when your partner calls you a “spoiled brat” over something as small as flowers, and how love languages and respect show up in the little moments. We also tackle the lonely reality of moving to a new city as an adult, with practical ways to meet people through events, hobby classes, and friend-matching dinners.

To close it out, the gossip gets chaotic: a toxic office potluck and a romantic plot twist. Listen, laugh, and then do us a favor: subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review!

A pineapple margarita is on deck, and the gremlin hotline is fully open. We start with two listener stories that hit opposite ends of the chaos spectrum: one woman is laser-focused on ending up in a hot guy’s bed until she realizes the entire cast of Disney will be judging the moment. Then we slide into a brutal hangover reveal when heartbreak and alcohol combine into a flood of Instagram messages.

Gremlin Guidance gets real and surprisingly nuanced. One listener asks whether it’s normal to feel relieved when her husband goes out of town and she doesn’t miss him. Another is reeling after learning the ex who “couldn’t commit” is now engaged, and she’s tempted to reach out for closure. We talk through what alone time can mean in a relationship, why closure conversations often backfire, and how to protect your self-worth when someone else moves on fast.

Then we finish with peak Gremlin Gossip: “date night” libido chocolates accidentally become a five-star experiment, and a Wegmans speakerphone call delivers a bachelorette-party scandal involving a bride, a random guy, a stripper, and a VIP room that could blow up an entire engagement. If you love dating stories, relationship advice, breakup healing, and unapologetically juicy gossip, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review.

A strawberry margarita that’s a little too strong sets the tone, and then we get right into the kind of listener-submitted chaos that makes this show addictive: the funny stuff, the mortifying stuff, and the surprisingly tender stuff you only tell when you trust the room. We read a story about a visiting mom who accidentally eats weed gummies instead of melatonin and spends the night convinced the bed is floating.

From there, things get painfully human with our first poop-themed submission: a genuinely great date that ends in a gas station parking lot when someone doesn’t make it out of the car in time. We talk about embarrassment, dating etiquette, and what kindness looks like when a moment is too awkward to recover from. (Also, yes, we try very hard not to laugh.)

Gremlin Guidance brings the serious questions. We respond to an anonymous listener who’s 28 and still a virgin and feels stuck between waiting for something meaningful and ripping off the band-aid. Then we tackle the hardest one: can you forgive cheating after a five-year relationship that felt perfect? We dig into trust, paranoia, boundaries, and why couples counseling might help you find the real “why.”

Gremlin Gossip closes it out with a dating twist where two guys turn out to be brothers and a secret-profession reveal from an anonymous dominatrix that we desperately want to unpack in a future interview.

A first date is already awkward, but getting a message from his mother on Instagram because you didn’t text him back is a whole different genre of alarm bell. I’m sipping white wine and catching you up on a few podcast updates, including why last week’s upload didn’t happen, why Robert’s guest episode had frustrating audio on streaming, and why YouTube had the clean version.

Then we get into a full lineup of Gremlin Stories, Gremlin Guidance, and Gremlin Gossip. We’re talking “mama’s boy” boundary chaos, a wedding hookup that spirals into morning-after humiliation, and bridal party decision-making when a longtime friend can’t be counted on. If you’ve ever wrestled with friendship reliability, RSVP disrespect, or the guilt of protecting your peace, you’re going to feel seen.

The gossip hits harder and then somehow gets funnier: one listener hooks up with a Tinder match and later meets him as her sister’s friend’s boyfriend, forcing the question of whether to tell the truth about cheating. And yes, we also end up discussing the housewarming party where both bathrooms were occupied and a fake ficus became the emergency solution. Come for the dating stories, stay for the relationship advice, friendship boundaries, and unapologetically honest listener confessions.

A single phone call can rewrite your whole week, and that’s exactly what happened here. We’re dropping a quick, honest update instead of a full release because an unexpected, exciting, life-changing call came in and demanded the one thing we couldn’t fake: time. Recording, turning around an edit, and publishing something we’d actually be proud of just wasn’t possible on this timeline, and we’d rather be transparent than rush a low-quality upload.

We also don’t want you guessing, so here’s the plan. A brand new episode lands next Tuesday, and it’s already outlined. Expect Gremlin stories, guidance, and gossip, plus a recap of the episode we did with Robert. We saw your questions and we’re planning to answer them, and we’ve got genuinely exciting news and developments to share once we can give them the space they deserve.

Until then, we’re inviting you to dig into the back catalog, especially any episodes you missed, and to watch on YouTube if that’s your preferred way to hang with us. If you care about podcast consistency, creator transparency, and what it takes to keep a weekly show running, this short check-in is a real behind-the-scenes moment.
