Margaret Cho stops by Steph Infection and delivers what is officially the grossest story ever told on this podcast, the one that finally made Steph gag on mic. Steph and Margaret get into being each other's Daniel Webb connection, why Margaret hasn't gone to a Hollywood party since the aughts, bangs and Botox as an anti-aging program, Forensic Files guilt and whether true crime is a cautionary tale for women or just somebody else's tragedy, the night a 500-pound man in a tow truck tried to talk a teenage Margaret into coming with him and how she knew to run, restraining orders being useless paper, threesomes being for cucks and having too many smells, the semen-is-bleach debate that got Steph called crazy on Bob the Drag Queen's podcast, the blowjob that earned a hotel suite upgrade in Charleston, Margaret's splinter that went so deep into her foot it required surgery and came out looking like a wine cork crossed with a bay scallop that she then asked to eat, toenails that grew UP like little hamburger patties from 1970s swimming pool fungus, toenail removal and nail bed cauterization, plantar warts, hemorrhoids, the 5% cream that actually works, Steph's extremely short taint, Scott Thompson cutting out his own plantar wart in a Banff cabin with vodka and scissors, why chihuahuas are the second most euthanized breed, the person reselling sidewalk gum in fake packaging, and Margaret's first special in twelve years, filming this November. Enjoy!

Dr. Terry Dubrow of Botched stops by Steph Infection and within five minutes has diagnosed Steph's frozen forehead, explained why he has built up complete immunity to four types of Botox, and claims responsibility for two of the top 5 worst reality shows of all time. Steph and Dr. Dubrow get into The Swan, where twelve women couldn't see their own face for three months after surgery, Bridal Plasty, which somehow involved competing for rhinoplasties as wedding prizes, plus the Lorenzo Lamas show where a laser pointer was used to identify women's physical deficiencies on live television, why Steph is never getting a nose job no matter what anyone says, breast implants going in through the belly button until someone went too deep and hit a heart, ballerina boobs being the new trend, the deep plane facelift and whether it actually works better, how the gerbil at Cedars rumor follows certain celebrities forever, what really happens when plastic surgery goes wrong and a good surgeon handles it, and a full breakdown of GLP-1 drugs including the new one called Retatrutide that's about to change everything.

Jared Freid joins Steph to talk about his new Netflix hour The Family Plan, an entire special built out of his dad asking him how much he weighs at the beach. This leads to the two of them immediately spiraling into parent damage. Steph explains how she blew $900 on a one-way Air Canada ticket to escape her parents' cottage after getting screamed at over her parents' dog's diarrhea ("not my dog, not my problem"), then details her mom's $30,000-and-climbing stone slab renovation and the "there goes my inheritance" joke she landed ten times in three days while the neighbors ate it up. Jared gets into his dad stealing country club cups and demanding they come off the internet, boomer parents who hit a triple and think they landed on third, his mom telling him to just call Jimmy Fallon, and his dad asking a topsoil guy if he watches Netflix. From there it's Palm Beach International becoming Trump International Airport, personality T-shirts at the airport, the older gentleman who came to his show alone in an "I eat pussy" shirt, the Mel Robbins interview that went badly, and a long honest run on GLP-1s, his dad offering him Ozempic at dinner, the 80-year-old golf buddy who sold him on it, and the Monday morning Carney Wilson handed him a Biscoff cake at Jeff Lewis Live. Plus: where would you put a third arm, Steph refusing to become Steph McDonald, Jared's brother coaching the Bears, all dressed chip discourse, and the local chip, local mustard rider.

Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers, Broken Lizard) joins Steph to talk about his new stand-up special Brown Supremacist, directing over 200 episodes of TV including Arrested Development and New Girl, and why the only way into the movies is to write yourself into them. Steph finally watches Super Troopers 25 years late and has questions about the very real penis in it, Jay reveals Arrested Development was only about 4% improvised, and he tells the story of getting a steak stuck in his throat on a date, throwing up next to two models, going back to finish the steak — and how that led to getting his throat scraped every five years. Plus: Steph's fiancé answers the door in a towel, Jay thinks Steph is a gay man, an audience member exposes the ABCs technique, Jay's lung-doctor dad tells patients to keep smoking, 100 straight days of golf, Botox regrets, and Steph's beef with K.D. Lang's follower count.

Evan Mulrooney joins Steph to finally break down filming their sex scene together on season three of Tires, from learning the role was almost a certain 90s heartthrob, to two hours with Steph's feet on his shoulders, to Evan improvising his way downstairs to a full crew lunch in nothing but a modesty sock, plus the intimacy coordinator's yoga mat and a modesty pouch that looked like a medieval coin purse. From there Evan gets into judging RuPaul's Drag Race in a gold Speedo, Steph getting cut out of Canadian Drag Race, and coming up under Shane Gillis and Matt McCusker in the open mic days. Then it's a full body-horror hour: sneaking two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a day to gain 60 pounds for D1 football at Maryland, the MRSA infection that nearly killed him and the morphine-naive muscle scraping he felt every second of, an 11-night hospital stay for a mystery spleen infection, and the spinal tap from hell interrupted by a T-Mobile ringtone. Evan also opens up about ketamine therapy, and Steph shares how she's grieving the loss of her dog. Plus: a metaphorical engagement to a former staunch lesbian, being allergic to exercise, a bisexual grandma who lived on a commune with Timothy Leary, warthogs, and why an anal fissure beats every infection on the list.

Professional wrestler Steph De Lander joins Steph for a two-Steph summit of broken bodies and public rage. SDL walks through the full saga of her neck: hearing the crunch-crunch-crunch on a northern lights suplex at the WWE training center, years of injections straight into the disc, the rupture on a jumping pull-up the day before a five-day Australian tour, crying through the flight, and the two surgeries that left her with a piece of her own hip bone and brand-new microplastic tech fused into her spine, which healed so fast her surgeon called his colleagues to look at the scans. From there they get into faking 100 logged driving hours to get a license, why announcing "a women's match" just cues up the creeps, Steph's midnight Facebook fight with a fan who refuses to watch her clips, the Austin TSA agent who stuck a hand in her face, waiting five and a half hours to confront the middle-seat texter who called her insane, and Steph inhaling a solid portion of her dead dog Susan's ashes while transferring the urn. Plus: $12 Erewhon oats, the Scotch tape facelift, bullying fans into buying merch, breast reduction recovery horror, and a plan to get Steph Tolev into a WWE ring.

Des Bishop joins Steph in his non-suit era and get into why Des wears the same suit all weekend on the road (plane included), telling a beauty-queen-turned-comic "f*** that guy, be hot," his Red Bull rationing system, hunting down snobby coffee shops just to be judged by the barista, being sober since 19, plus Steph and her fiancé's drunken fight over a TYPE-OFF, why you never lump Ireland into a UK tour, the nude beach circumcision census, losing a ball to testicular cancer in your 20's and the fake one offered to Des, comparing balls with his best friend, the half-shaved pubes nobody warned him about, and the worst ways a body can betray you.
