  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Call Me Limbo is your weekly dose of comedic therapy where pop culture and politics get tossed in a blender with personal stories, improv games, and zero chill. Hosted by Dai and David—two queer best friends with more opinions than filter—the show tackles everything from reality TV and music videos to capitalist hellscapes and Bad Bunny’s underwear. It’s entertainment with a little revolution on the side. Sometimes you’ll laugh until you cry. Sometimes you’ll cry until you’re organizing a union. Either way, we’re here for the drama, the joy, and the work of building a better world—with jokes. Always with jokes. We believe the personal is political, but also… pop culture is too damn fun to ignore. So whether you’re here for the Disney Channel wand impressions or a fiery takedown of billionaires—welcome. You’ve found your people because when they go low.....we go lower. So, Call Me Limbo!

    Nothing Makes Sense Anymore… And That’s the Problem

    Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and death. Please listen with care for yourself and others. We are all we have. This week on Call Me Limbo, we start with prairie dogs (don’t ask 😭)… and somehow end up questioning reality, the system, and what any of this is actually for. Dai and David get real about what it feels like to live in a world where everything seems just slightly off. From misinformation and political chaos to burnout, purpose, and the pressure to “do the right thing” in a system that doesn’t reward it. This episode goes deeper than expected. We talk about:  – questioning what’s real in today’s media landscape  – the exhaustion of trying to live with integrity in a broken system  – why so many people feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or just tired  – and the growing sense that the life we were promised… might not exist And because we’re still us, we also get into the Megan Thee Stallion breakup, modern dating chaos, and why some people really need to get it together. It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’s a little too real. If you’ve been feeling like nothing quite adds up lately… yeah. Same.

    Are We Broke, Regressing, or Just Being Played?

    This week on Call Me Limbo, Dai and David cover everything from rising gas prices to the bigger question: are we actually moving forward… or quietly going backwards? We kick things off with recession-coded behavior (yes, we’re all suddenly experts at squeezing every drop of gas), before diving into major policy updates across the country. From Colorado’s controversial labor changes impacting farm workers to expanding abortion access on college campuses, this episode breaks down what’s happening—and why it matters. Then we head to Virginia, where a major redistricting vote just passed, sparking legal pushback and raising bigger questions about fairness, power, and who really controls elections. Along the way, we also tackle:  – the reality behind “gerrymandering”  – why fairness in politics isn’t static  – and how everyday people are being affected by decisions made far above them As always, we keep it honest, a little chaotic, and rooted in what everyday Americans are actually experiencing. If you’ve been feeling like something doesn’t quite add up lately… you’re not alone. Show Notes: CORRECTION: Texas no longer has a six-week abortion ban. Texas has a near total ban on all abortions.

    Y’all Are Not Okay… And It’s Getting Worse

    Content Warning: Toward the end of this episode, we discuss suicide.  If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, please reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This week on Call Me Limbo, we ask a very simple question: are people okay right now? And the answer… is no. Dai and David dive into everything from rising crime narratives to the ways society feels increasingly off balance. What starts as a conversation about culture quickly spirals into something deeper: why everything feels tense, disconnected, and just a little unhinged. And because this is Call Me Limbo, we also address a growing public concern that no one else seems brave enough to tackle… if your feet are crusty, we need to talk. From politics to personal hygiene to the state of the world, this episode is funny, chaotic, and a little too real. If you’ve been feeling like something is “off” lately… you’re not alone.

    Musty Dates, Draft Dodging & A Wild Dating Show Idea

    This week’s episode starts with a conversation about musty dates and quickly spirals into one of the funniest and most chaotic discussions yet. Dai and David unpack dating frustrations, hygiene expectations and why the bar sometimes feels impossibly low. From there, the conversation shifts into draft debates, personal boundaries and the uncomfortable reality of being told what you should be willing to do. The episode balances humor with real talk, mixing outrageous moments with thoughtful commentary. They also float a new idea for a live dating segment where contestants compete in real time. It might be the most chaotic experiment Call Me Limbo has attempted yet. If you like unfiltered conversations about dating, culture and the absurdity of modern life, this episode delivers.

    Bring Back Shame: Conversion Therapy, Culture Wars & The Hygiene Crisis

    This week’s episode starts chaotic and somehow gets even more unhinged, in the best way. We break down the latest culture war hypocrisy, including a Supreme Court ruling impacting LGBTQ rights, anti-trans legislation, and how “freedom of religion” is increasingly being used as a shield for discrimination. Then things take a turn. We talk about:  • The Supreme Court conversion therapy ruling  • Anti-LGBTQ legislation and hypocrisy  • “Freedom of religion” vs freedom to discriminate  • The obsession with transgender athletes  • Political propaganda & moral inconsistency  • Why “bring back shame” might actually help society And then… Dai introduces a new segment called, "It's A Fool."  Starting with a full breakdown of the hygiene crisis happening in gyms, public spaces, and apparently… grown men’s underwear. Yes. It goes there. Because at the end of the day:  Leave people alone.  Give people healthcare.  And for the love of God… wash your ass.

    We Were Promised the American Dream… Then Everything Fell Apart

    This week, we go there. From fears of a military draft to questioning everything we were taught about America, this episode turns into one of our most honest conversations yet. We unpack the rising enlistment age, why fewer Americans qualify for military service, and what it says about the state of the country. Then the conversation deepens — into war, propaganda, nationalism, and what happens when you stop believing in the American dream you were promised. We also talk about: • The military recruitment crisis • Millennials waking up from the American Dream • War in the Middle East & media distrust • Why people join the military (and why many don’t) • Propaganda, misinformation, and truth fatigue • Feeling lost politically in 2026 • Rejection, purpose, and building something meaningful • Why community matters more than ever This one gets personal. Emotional. And very real. Because when the system stops making sense… you start asking bigger questions. CORRECTION 1: Evidently, India did not pay in Chinese Yuan for oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.  (WION) CORRECTION 2: While Black people make up around 13-15% of the US population, Black people are 32-38% of the total US prison and jail population.

    Why Americans Feel Stuck at Work, in Politics, and in Life

    This week on Call Me Limbo, we start with a simple question: Why does work feel so broken right now? From childhood lessons about “never saying no to your boss”… to modern workplaces demanding more for less, we unpack how hustle culture and corporate expectations shape our lives. Then things take a turn (as they always do). We get into: A major meatpacking worker strike and what it says about labor in AmericaA wild debate about giving unhoused people basic hygiene products (yes… seriously)The politics of gerrymandering and power in local electionsAnd why some people care more about “free stuff” than actual human dignityAlong the way, we ask a bigger question: Are we building a system that works for people… or just protecting one that doesn’t? It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s very Call Me Limbo. Could Rep. Diana DeGette be left off the Democratic primary ballot?
