Episode 255: Exejeezies

Technical difficulties, mystical Bigfoot radio hosts, and childhood abandonment issues walk into a podcast… Spencer Crittenden flies solo, fighting with a possessed webcam before spiraling into an honestly kind of unhinged seven-minute rant about magic, narrative theory, chaos magic, Alan Moore, and why wizards and conspiracy theorists might secretly be doing the same job. From there we go full therapy-session-meets-improv-show, unpacking parental baggage, motivation issues, and why creative work maybe shouldn’t come from a trauma response.

We also pitch our greatest show that never got made: Secret Bigfoot, the saga of a Joe Rogan-esque talk radio cryptid who doesn’t know what he is, can’t get a mortgage, and accidentally stumbles into right-wing media hell. It’s Berserk meets Coast to Coast AM meets your uncle’s Facebook feed, and no, it never got picked up.

Also featured: an extremely serious taste test of chicken and waffle Oreos, a passion-fruit Snickers from Brazil, deep thoughts on Oreo flavor fatigue, and a sincere, surprisingly touching monologue about parasocial relationships, internet community, and why making a podcast while depressed is harder than it looks. Equal parts unboxing video, group therapy, and public access TV fever dream.
