    We Survived Childhood: Cringey Crushes & Close Calls

    Two friends dive into childhood memories that get funnier and more alarming the older you get: awkward crushes, years‑late confessions, unsupervised adventures, trusting strangers, and the questionable choices that somehow left them alive to tell the tale. Expect nostalgia, laughs, a little trauma, and honest conversation about growing up, relationships, and how different parenting is now.   http://Linktr.ee/wokpod

    Sea Shantytowns

    On this episode of West of Knowhere we cover a range of stories: the Plymouth, Massachusetts murder trial of a woman accused of killing her three children; mounting morale and mental-health issues aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln after an extended deployment; and national headlines including Luigi Mangione’s guilty plea, President Trump’s push to swap EMALS for steam catapults, and newly surfaced documents linking Hugh Hefner to early warnings about Jeffrey Epstein. We also discuss the rise of private “Flock” surveillance cameras and their misuse, Conor McGregor ending his sobriety, listener comments and Google searches, and an “Am I the A-hole?” case about whether to tell a partner their pet snake has died.   Linktr.ee/wokpod   https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/08/11/multiple-uss-abraham-lincoln-sailors-have-tried-to-go-overboard-amid-extended-deployment-families-say/?link_source=ta_bluesky_link&taid=6a7badac325a7500012a81c8&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky https://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/2026-08-13/uss-george-washington-middle-east-abraham-lincoln-22541038.html https://abcnews.com/US/luigi-mangione-guilty-plea-expected-announced-friday-federal/story?id=135607454 https://ktar.com/arizona-news/chandler-drops-flock-after-audit-misuse https://newbedfordlight.org/new-bedford-police-officer-accused-of-using-flock-cameras-to-track-and-follow-ex-romantic-partner/ https://thenerdstash.com/hugh-hefner-warned-fbi-about-epstein-after-florida-playmate-was-allegedly-abused-they-ignored-him-of-all-people-being-disgusted/ https://abcnews.com/US/wireStory/killing-kids-lindsay-clancy-searched-hallucinations-psychosis-ways-135625829 https://apnews.com/article/trump-aircraft-carriers-steam-catapults-ffa9f3ce102ecd5d6126db03e901a56f https://www.operationsports.com/conor-mcgregor-announces-he-is-ending-his-sobriety-and-brad-pitt-inspired-him-to-drink-again-take-it-easy-brad/

    This episode of West of Knowhere covers a fast-paced news roundup and culture chat: new movies and shows, former child actors, Pete Hegseth’s proposed testosterone screenings for troops, Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, election-fraud documents, and the death of the last polio patient in an iron lung. Hosts also react to viral oddities — a freaky raccoon in Seattle and a bison knocking down an elderly man — plus a lawsuit about babies switched at birth and an "Am I the A*****e" story about a chaotic nanny.

    Cowception

    Lesbian Nuns

    This episode of West of Knowhere covers a range of odd and headline-grabbing stories: the brief reopening (and re-closing) of the Strait of Hormuz, the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool renovation gone awry, a UFC fighter’s offensive White House remark about Michelle Obama, and Hollywood mining Reddit for horror ideas like Backrooms. Also discussed: an 85-year-old caught speeding, Noah’s Ark attraction insurance disputes, two former rival nuns who married, the Iran vs. Egypt Pride World Cup match in Seattle, and an Am I the A*****e segment about a dinner-recipe text.  Linktr.ee/wokpod https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/trump-envoy-iranian-minister-head-switzerland-talks-2026-06-20/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/06/18/lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool-paint-peeling-off-see-photos/90614066007/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/ufc-fighter-josh-hokit-michelle-obama-man-white-house-1236621742/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/reddit-backrooms-hollywood-ip-1236622594/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kentucky-noahs-ark-encounter-sues-insurance-company-over-heavy-rain-damage/ https://www.actionnews5.com/2026/06/20/85-year-old-driver-clocked-going-110-mph-accused-street-racing/ https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/06/09/enemy-lesbian-nuns-quit-convent-and-marry-each-other/ https://apnews.com/article/world-cup-seattle-iran-egypt-gay-pride-lgbtq-4c7229ef5c7e05b6c2b58e0522797b91

We also discuss tech and culture news; OpenAI’s claims about Chinese disinformation around data centers, a Whoop heart-monitor experiment ranking stressful coworkers, Niantic’s data partnerships with military/intelligence firms, and a MAGA influencer’s off-camera prompting plus an “Am I the A*****e?” segment about mocking a coworker’s nose job.
