    Every Day Is Today

    It’s Monday. Or Tuesday. Or maybe time isn’t real. In this episode, Bree (also known as Slime) hangs out, drinks instant coffee made correctly this time, and reflects on good dreams, grocery non-decisions, and the strange freedom of losing track of the days. The cats are present, judgmental, and deeply unconcerned with calendars. Nothing big happens. And that’s kind of the point.

    Nothing in Particular

    This episode is a low-key check-in. I talk about sleep, coffee, the cats, and whatever else happens to be on my mind — some life updates, some small observations, a little bit of everything. No big topic, no agenda. Just talking through the moment and letting things land where they land. If you’re listening while doing something else, or just need some background company, this one’s for that.

    Cat Chaos at Midnight & Why I'm Drinking Cold Instant Coffee

    Bree is running on fumes after her cats decided that one nighttime feeding just wasn't enough—try FOUR. From the 9pm bedtime that seemed so responsible to the 5am wake-up call that broke her spirit, this episode is a deep dive into the reality of pet ownership that nobody warns you about. But it's not all chaos! Bree's also breaking in her new SE X1 A microphone (and yes, you can totally hear the difference), and sharing her brutally honest take on making cold instant coffee because sometimes survival trumps taste. If you've ever been woken up by a meowing terrorist or made coffee decisions you're not proud of, you'll feel seen. Perfect for listening while your own pets judge you.

    Something’s in the Air

    Over the course of three days — January 28th, 29th, and 30th — I recorded bits and pieces without really knowing what they’d turn into. There was a shelter-in-place alert in Santa Rosa.There was confusion.There was a gas leak.And there was a brand new microphone sitting in front of me. This episode stitches together those clips as they happened — before I knew what was going on, while I was figuring it out, and after things finally made sense. A loose, unplanned audio journal of uncertainty, curiosity, and testing the sE X1 A while the world outside felt slightly off.

    Fibermaxxing in the Morning, Hot Honey at Night

    In today’s episode of The Slime Show, I talk about the absolute insanity happening in the food world right now — and what it says about us as a culture in 2026. We’re living through two completely contradictory food trends at the same time: fibermaxxing, where people are obsessively optimizing their gut health, and the rise of “swicy,” “swangy,” and “swavory” flavors, where corporations are putting hot honey and chili into everything, including breakfast cereal. We’re drinking prebiotic sodas for our microbiomes while eating spicy-sweet chaos because it’s fun — and somehow both things feel necessary. I get into TikTok wellness culture, Gen Z’s ironic sincerity, why everyone suddenly cares about fiber, how corporations are betting billions on gut health and flavor overload, and why doctors are warning people to slow down before fibermaxxing their way into digestive distress. We talk hot honey, portmanteau flavors, trend fatigue, and the weird anxiety that comes with trying to optimize your body while also just wanting to enjoy food. Ultimately, this is an episode about contradiction: caring deeply while pretending not to, gamifying wellness, turning eating into content, and trying to survive the moment we’re in. I don’t have answers — but I do have thoughts, coffee, sparkling water, cats, and a growing curiosity about hot honey cereal.

    When ICE Hired a Journalist Who Never Applied (Plus Red Streetlights & Havana Syndrome Devices)

    Happy Saturday! Bree (aka Slime) is back with Sydney on the bed and Starshine napping in the cat tree cubby. Today's episode covers dad's toilet phone disaster and his new Motorola Moto G Power, decluttering microphones for Craigslist cash, and getting ready to dive into Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. But the main story will keep you up at night: journalist and veteran Laura Jedeed attended an ICE recruitment expo as a reporter, deliberately didn't complete her paperwork, and somehow still received a final job offer and start date to become a deportation officer. What does this say about how ICE is vetting its 12,000 new hires? When an openly anti-ICE journalist can sail through the system, who else is getting badges and guns? Also covered: Denmark's mysterious red streetlights, the U.S. government obtaining a potential Havana Syndrome device, Neil Young's scathing take on ICE, why Delcy Rodríguez (not Gonzales) is now leading Venezuela, and why Bree's switching from ChatGPT to Claude AI. Pour yourself some Trader Joe's seltzer and settle in—this one's a wild ride through bureaucratic chaos, federal incompetence, and what happens when nobody's actually checking who we're arming and sending into American communities.

    Clapping Is Violent and Other Thoughts That Keep Me Up

    Today on the show: We dive deep into María Corina Machado handing her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump (is it pandering? manipulation? genuine support?), the constitutional implications, and what it means when foreign policy might be shaped by ego-stroking. Then we spiral about why humans express appreciation by violently slapping their hands together — seriously, who came up with clapping? Next up: the darkest Would You Rather ever. Would you want to know the DATE of your death or the CAUSE? I go back and forth about seventeen times and honestly still don't have a solid answer. Spoiler: both options are nightmare fuel. Also: I want another instant film camera (the Kodak Charmera is cute but not worth it), Greenland is apparently worth $700 billion, and the US is big mad about the EU's "cheese monopoly" in a new South America trade deal. It's chaos. It's existential dread. Let's go, Slimers.
