Emily to Gremily

Vodka spills, Mean Girls ears, and a second attempt that’s somehow even funnier than the first, we kick off Halloween with chaotic honesty and a lot of glitter. After a whirlwind few days of concerts, bed-rot recovery, and a Pearl shoutout, we dive straight into the strangest ride of the week: a first-ever trip in a Waymo. Think thrill ride meets tech demo, complete with the viral clips we can’t stop sending each other; cars circling empty lots, locked doors, delivery robots named Robert stuck in grass, and the eerie chorus of honking driverless fleets.

Then...

A glass of white wine and a slightly raspy voice set the stage for a fast, funny, and surprisingly tender ride through modern dating’s strangest corners, and the boundaries that keep us sane. We field a respectful foot-fetish curveball, revisit a risky MySpace-era meetup, and pull apart the difference between sweet attention and full-blown love bombing.

I share candid takes on how to respond when intimacy swerves into unfamiliar lanes and navigate a hard left turn of being told you look like someone’s mother on a first date.

Then the stories widen. A fals...

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 trick-or-treating to Pasadena’s Halloween house, we map how setting trains our nerves, and why certain streets feel like they’re holding their breath after sundown.

Then we get surgical about craf...

A martini, a mental reset, and a mi, today’s solo ride goes from vulnerable to jaw‑dropping fast. I open up about taking a week off to protect quality and sanity, then jump straight into a listener confession that still makes me wince: why cheat at all? I share the messy truth from my past, why “perfect on paper” can still feel wrong, and the cleanest way to leave when your heart’s already halfway out the door.

From there, the Gremlin archive explodes with four unforgettable stories. A fake pregnancy at a restaurant that fooled an entire...

The people we know may not be who they seem. That's the haunting message at the heart of this special true crime episode featuring listener-submitted stories about encounters with murderers who walked among them.

After kicking things off with a simple vodka martini, I share my fascination with true crime content before diving into the chilling submissions you've sent in. Unlike famous cases involving strangers, these stories hit closer to home, they're about coworkers, classmates, neighbors, and romantic partners who committed horrific acts that shocked everyone around them.

A high school boyfriend now serving time...

Welcome to a jam-packed solo episode where I dive into all three signature segments, and trust me, you'll want to stay for the Gremlin Gossip!

My listeners have been delivering exceptional content lately, and this episode showcases some of the most jaw-dropping submissions yet. We kick things off with two compelling Gremlin Stories: one about a moral dilemma when discovering a brother's infidelity, and another about a potential hookup derailed by a horrifying bathroom situation (which sends me on a passionate hygiene rant that might just save someone's love life).

The Gremlin Guidance segment tackles...
