Something Horse-Related Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

The glory of a thin book. A wild outsider. The cruelty to our mothers. Cryptic texting. Ironic consumption of dinosaurs. When I need you, you provide nothing? By the way, here they come. Chocolate soup. Turn the bowl upside-down. Where is Souen West? The nap that comes from reading. Looking for hostility. 99 out of 100 people don’t win the raffle. Getting the works.

While there are strict blocks on certain ad categories in the show's automated ads system, **sometimes advertisers find ways to circumvent these restrictions**. They might categorize their ads differently or use unclear descriptions that don't immediately flag the show's set filters.

You’re Pixelated as Usual Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

Careful you don’t get Max’d. Jumping on the ground to achieve a euphoric state. Tap, Tap, Tapping on the bones for strength. The sugar of the crowd, blood on the cave wall, and a spiritual logic. New client specials rock and they work. A meme enjoyed, supine as Clive Owen breaks through. Needless to Say, I Booked Elsewhere.

Aspirationally Rude Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

The conduit burps continuously. Raising the liver. Feet tied at the bottom like a little bow. Lunch is an utter derailment. Hurting the hand while trying to move at the speed of one’s thinking. Huge eye roll to the camera in the corner. Passage of time strikes right in the heart. Another one about sex and boys? Mister Cabbage, it’s me. A woven placemat, a frame under the plate.

The Copper Inn Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

Gonzo journalism. One sprig of parsley on every plane meal. Panic clouding the mind. The smell of the subway. Manifesting the illness, manifesting the solution. Hubris and negligence. A high self-diagnosis moment, proudly bearing pit stains.

Lie to Me, Baby Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Scrolling during sex. The novelty of rice and pasta in a drawer. The four-hour facial. Old writerly Novak reemerges. Tits or gossip for a mere fifty bucks. Maintaining mood across centuries. A bespoke app. Praying for more. Unwashed throws.

High Stakes Masculine Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

Is this thing on? Sifting through comments. How to make a dog from white rice. Eyes on the road, for once. Anxiety dissolves into freedom. Fun to buy or fun to own? Clear-headed about the paranormal. The allure of people and their workflows. Appealing sounds at The Garden. Infant jest.

AI Betrayed Me Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

Our ancestors stood on rocks. Who wants to be our guinea pig? Forgetting within minutes about owning it.Food as a palliative. Fantasies about mechanical automation. Wildly signing up for services seeking pure objective truth. A call down for a Nespresso machine. Aesthetic for cheap. Loretta Lynn suite.

A Pat and a Spat May 27, 2025

Show notes

Button up, button down. The one traveling woman in the world. Is warrior the hardest pose? Submit to waiting. The name is a word. Kate gets on better terms with London food. Unfiltered Roman amaro. Brought to tears by good copywriting. That’s a star, who is that? The cough of a child.

My Stubborn Spirit May 20, 2025

Show notes

The first cup of coffee is a doorway. Illegal tomato gallery in the fridge. Take the safety rails off the fidget spinner. Abandonment of the future self. There's no such thing as a dread-free artist. Get off the cross—we need the wood. Nursing Ascentia. So and so got up on the skis today for their first time. Cover the penalties later. Completely detach getting up from meaning. The Ecstatic experience. Lobbing a phrase. Purposeless in public. A set of books.

A New God Every Two Years May 13, 2025

Show notes

The hippocampus 'delible after all? When there is no hack, just get it from the beet. A glorious return policy, shadows on the face, and melting suede coat. Another appointment booked. Accessing hyperfixation, raising horses on organic feed for the makeup brushes. KB in the fast lane, hands at 12 and 3. Kate’s Damn Tea. JN writing in Hudson. Six nights in a row at the same restaurant. Do not forget about lime. To wind a cuckoo clock each morning. Austere Norwegian bread and Fruit Corner.
