In this episode, the hosts cover everything from questionable therapy sessions to a genuinely terrifying AI scam, along with Laurie’s week of food poisoning, workplace chaos, and an upcoming sketch show.

Joe and Jay revisit Laurie’s experience with “Scribbles,” a therapy setup that raises more questions than answers. Between the lack of accreditation and surprise meditation tactics, they try to figure out what’s actually going on—and whether it’s helping at all.

Joe then shares a disturbing real-life story involving his parents, who received a phone call from someone using his voice, claiming he had been arrested after a fatal car accident. The scam nearly convinced them to send bail money, leading to a larger discussion about AI voice cloning, privacy, and how easily these schemes can fool people.

Laurie walks through her own ordeal this week, which included getting sick at work, throwing up, being wheeled through school in front of students, and a frustrating urgent care visit. After getting food poisoning twice, she realizes the likely culprit was oatmeal she had saved and reheated over multiple days.

The group also gets into doctor pet peeves, workplace absurdities, and how easily things spiral when communication breaks down.

Jay teases a future story about a recent Vegas trip, while Laurie plugs her upcoming sketch show with the team “Moxie” at the Pack Theater in Los Angeles.

As always, the episode balances real-world anxiety with chaotic humor, moving quickly from unsettling to ridiculous in classic Tea fashion.
