Drew
Com. Getting to a great idea is hard in college. Nonsensical essays, cringe inducing presentations, and seemingly unsolvable problem sets. But then the first thought becomes a final thesis.
Anya
Jumbled slides transform into a polished keynote,
Drew
and that midterm assignment gets a lot
Anya
less mid because the road to great
Drew
ideas is littered with bad ones.
Anya
You just have to keep going until something clicks.
Drew
Great ideas start on Mac Final.

Anya
Hi, welcome to this episode of Emergency Intercom. Today we actually have a really interesting set of topics we plan on going over. We're gonna start with bug bites.
Drew
Larkin has the biggest bug bite.
Anya
Who in the room has the biggest bug bite? Oh my God. I actually did kill a huge spider in my room, which if have any photos I'll insert. But while I was in Italy, I was sleeping with the biggest, baddest bug in town. Like, and he was eating me. He's digging at me.
Drew
He was digging and at first I
Anya
Thought I had mosquito bites. And then in, like, pictures.
Drew
They're tiny.
Anya
My boobs are much more like if you had a box of cake mix and you were home alone and you were like, I don't want to make this whole cake. You know what I'm going to do is I'm going to. But it's a cake mix that has the icing, like, in the packet, like a macaroni and cheese packet. So you, like, make half the batter, half everything. And then you go to squeeze some of the icing out, but you don't use all of it. And then you squish all the icing back down to the bottom you're trying to mug while I'm describing my really gross boobs. Yeah, well, you squeeze all of the frosting back to the bottom to save the rest of it. And then you put that in the fridge. And then, you know when the milk and the. Or the water releases from it the moisture, and then it's just like a dried pound of, like, weird pudding. And then it's the milk that's kind of the texture and vibe.
Drew
My boobs, also, a straight man was laughing a little too hard at that.
Kai
Well, I'm laughing because it's women. So untrue. Your body's beautiful. Everyone knows that.
Anya
My body is a temple. I would know because I paid top dollar for it. I spent so much money.
Drew
And then primordial soup.
Anya
I spent so much money on injectables and surgery last year.
Drew
Yes. Yeah. Like, once you start, you can't stop. I have Botox in my armpits.
Anya
It's just everywhere. I gotta put it everywhere. I can't even lie. That is part of the reason why I don't interact with anything from that world. I'm like, dude, I'd rather. Bro. What shall God render with this, like, body? Like, I'd rather leave it up to the hands of faith in terms of what I'm gonna look like than ever know the, like, other end of, like, knowing how easy it is to change something that you don't like about yourself. I think delving into that is as crazy as, like, a gambling addiction kind of demonic thing. You're literally getting the same fucking hint.
Drew
It's blasphemy. Wait, what?
Anya
We're paying them for the poison?
Drew
Yeah. Wait, we're paying. They feed us poison to sell us the cure.
Anya
Well, also, though, now there's that really contagious and viral. Super viral.
Drew
It's going viral.
Anya
Viral. It's going so viral.
Drew
Oh, my God. Is it it's flat tummy tea.
Anya
Essentially. It's God. It's nature's flat tummy tea. It's a diarrhea based sickness, which actually, I'm pretty sure diarrhea does kill a lot of people unironically because it dehydrates the out of you and people don't realize how bad it can.
Drew
That's like what the mosquito disease like, does. Like malaria. It makes you, like, all your liquid
Kai
out of your ass.
Drew
And then that's what, like, trench warfare.
Anya
Malaria is a pretty.
Drew
Let me make sure malaria symptoms, like,
Anya
Fricia paid his named her baby malaria. We would be like, y', all, it looked really good in script font. Think about it.
Kai
My friend said, diarrhea, if it wasn't for wet poop, it would actually be a very beautiful name. Yeah, I agree.
Anya
It feels very destiny. Like, like.
Drew
And also, I think, like a name like Mantis.
Anya
Okay, you're not sliding.
Wix Harmony Advertiser
That
Anya
ball is kind of fine. Opal is just. First of all, now it's Taylor Swift.
Drew
Yeah. And also, guys, can a girl get married?
Anya
Can a girl get married in peace?
Drew
Oh, that did not land. Guys. I take that back. It did not land.
Anya
Well, did you. Did you see how quick I was to do pre PR cleanup in case this viral stomach bug turned into the thing that kills us all? Remember, y', all, before you come at me, I said, I know. Tips off. Hats off to the doctor.
Drew
Hats off. Hats off. Hats off to the doctor. Yeah. That disease is really fascinating. I think we should get tapeworms. Yeah, it's really.
Kai
There's a huge dominant.
Drew
Wait, let me see it.
Anya
No, it's like, totally.
Kai
It looks like somebody hit it with a hammer. Yeah.
Drew
Three guys, one hammer. Y' all ever saw that video?
Kai
Of course.
Anya
We got to get me a little hammer. I should wait. That's going to be my Halloween costume. You know that room?
Drew
Of course. 86,000 times. Actually, we've maybe asked him that 85,000 times.
Perry Wilson
I know.
Anya
I'm not going to.
Emily Oster
Yes.
Anya
It came out of my mouth. I'm like, oh, my God. I've lived this moment so many times in this one lifetime.
Kai
Also, as far as straight guys go, you don't really get to be more of an ally than me, so of course I know all that stuff.
Drew
I agree. Me and Kai almost kissed when he was walking out of the bathroom peeing. Oh, okay.
Kai
You know, cornered me. You wouldn't let me go around you to get to my seat.
Anya
The way you feel about Orion and
Drew
I, at some point, y', all are
Anya
just gonna have to get married and, like, admit you're together, and it's gonna have to come with having sex. That's how I genuinely feel about you and Kai.
Drew
Yeah. I think one day, I think you
Anya
guys are just gonna have to do it just to rip the band aid off.
Drew
It would be fun for me.
Kai
I have to crack at least once.
Drew
It would be fun for me.
Kai
It would be horrible for me, but I would let you do it.
Anya
Yeah. I could see where you're coming from.
Drew
It would be hilarious.
Anya
Y.
Kai
It would be really funny.
Drew
It would be the ultimate bit, Kai.
Kai
If somebody put a gun to both of our heads and was like, you guys have to have heated rivalry, like, intimate missionary sex, and you cannot laugh. We would die.
Drew
Everyone in the world would die.
Kai
Everyone would die.
Drew
Everyone would die. Dude, looking at.
Anya
Well. Oh, my God. Wait, something. I was. The reason I was mentioning the gut disease is because. Good news for everybody who eats processed food because produce is off the table because we don't know where it's coming.
Kai
This is becoming a surviving.
Drew
And that's why I'm surviving. That's why I'm surviving.
Anya
Oh, we're. We. Yeah, we're becoming concurrent about the way it's like, the best Schiaparelli off the runways.
Kai
Drew's been wearing his hat sideways. Can you show the camera just so they can get a.
Anya
Well, I am, too. And you're just not going to mention it.
Kai
Well, you pull everything off. Like, obviously, you're so confident, but, Drew, you had it more before, like, when I walked in.
Anya
I'm very confident.
Drew
Yeah.
Kai
Guys, comment down below if you think this is okay.
Drew
This is cute, this.
Kai
Dude, it's up. It's disrespectful to everybody in the room.
Drew
Oh, okay.
Anya
Well, our second topic of the day, as requested.
Drew
No, we didn't talk about the bug bites.
Anya
Oh, we didn't.
Kai
We didn't.
Anya
We didn't. We did it. Oh, I can. I can show photos here. Any photo from Italy of me with my stomach out. I didn't want to post because it literally I looked like I got attacked because my stomach had two huge spots that were, like, just like, bubbles.
Drew
I think I have the biggest bug bite right now.
Anya
Where is it?
Drew
I have three bug bites on my back. Mosquitoes.
Anya
No, mosquitoes don't really count as bug bites.
Kai
Yeah. This episode is produced by Josiah, by the way.
Anya
These are his topics.
Kai
Because you guys are always saying, oh, you guys need topics. You need structure. Okay, well, here it is. Yeah, we're gonna. They're gonna talk about who has the biggest bug bite. And then Josiah said we have to talk about who would be the better
Drew
Uber driver, and it would be me. I'm such a safe driver. No, actually, with other souls in the car.
Anya
Guess who? Did y' all hear who? Josie said?
Drew
No.
Anya
Did you?
Kai
I did, yeah.
Anya
Yeah, he said you.
Kai
He said me?
Anya
Yeah, he said you to me.
Kai
I didn't even know.
Drew
I actually agree with that.
Kai
I would be the best guy.
Drew
I agree with that.
Kai
I'm very smart.
Anya
I don't want to have. Because I can't stand, like, y' all are both people I would hate. Actually. No.
Drew
Straight white man. I've been in a car with you
Anya
driving, I think, a handful of times. Uh, you're, like, a whatever driver.
Kai
No, I'm a good driver.
Anya
Yeah, well, you're, like, too overly cautious.
Drew
No, he's not.
Kai
No, I'm not. You've been in the car with me, and I'm kind of, like, reckless as. What am I. What am I giving?
Drew
You're giving, like, you know when those dudes, like, cut up in traffic, like, in the BMWs, and they, like, kind of crash the cars? You're giving that, but safe. You're my everything.
Anya
Well, I think I would be the best.
Drew
My nothing burger. And.
Anya
Yes.
Drew
My everything bagel.
Anya
Thank you. No, I'm your everything burger.
Drew
No, Everything bagel. Bagel.
Anya
No, I want to be your everything burger. Like, I want the burger. You know, you get, like, a cheeseburger. Kaiser fucking cheeseburger. I'm the everything burger.
Kai
Cheeseburgers are good people.
Drew
Yes.
Anya
Yeah, I love a cheeseburger. But, like, I'm. I'm upper echelon. Like, you got to dress me up. You can't send me out there naked like that. Speaking of dressing stylized, like, I am the burger they're shooting for the commercial. You're the burger they
Kai
what? The fudge.
Drew
I'm the gay burger.
Kai
That's top three most hurtful things anyone's ever said to me. Drew is animal fries.
Drew
Yeah.
Kai
Thank you, Anya. Look. Look how affectionate she just was.
Drew
Drew.
Kai
Drew's my animal fries.
Drew
Thank you. I'm like, secret menu.
Anya
Yeah.
Kai
No, because you're so messy.
Anya
Yeah, because without all that, you taste like nothing.
Drew
How can you make everything hateful?
Anya
Wow. It's a superpower.
Drew
Okay, so I had off. I walked into the living room today.
Anya
I feel like no one was really my face with this.
Drew
We can see your face.
Anya
I feel like my whole face.
Drew
You're hidden behind the mic. I walked into the living Room today I put this outfit on. I felt really cute. I was like, wait, this is kind of cute.
Anya
It's a cute outfit.
Drew
It's like casual. I was like, I would wear this.
Anya
I like it.
Kai
It's good.
Anya
Okay, keep going.
Drew
Because I would wear this out. Like I would like go out and about in this. Like, I. It's like my casual shit. It's like, oh, wearing sweatpants, but like dressing it up kinda like, this is cute. Walk into the living room. I'm standing there and Inya just looks at me and she says, is that what you're wearing on the podcast?
MC Gin
Yes.
Perry Wilson
You did.
Drew
I will go and grab Josiah.
Anya
For anybody watching Love island, by the way, I feel like Jennifer right now. So I'm actually. Or Jen. Let me not. Let me not use her full government name. I don't even know if that's her gov name. Your Gal. I'm Jen.
Drew
I'm Gout. There's one's name says Gal, baby. Yeah, Gout. Like the foot disease.
Anya
Yes. He works at a coffee shop in Venice.
Drew
Oh, work. Is it the one that looks like me?
Anya
No, his name is Gal, but it's pronounced Gall or Gall. I don't know this. That's one of those things where sometimes like names like really me up.
Drew
Human name being gala. You know what gal is, right?
Anya
Yeah, Gal. It's like that's what the hoes in the UK were dying of. It's like it eats up your body from the foot up pretty much. Okay. Making all those funky faces. I keep talking about this.
Drew
Well, there's nothing else to say. And you like shaded the out of me. I caught a crazy straight.
Anya
I said, is that what you're wearing on the.
Drew
No, you did not say it like that. She said. She said, is that what you're wearing on the episode?
Anya
I probably said like, oh, is that what you're wearing?
Drew
You're emphasizing the wrong word.
Anya
Is that what you're wearing on the episode?
Drew
No, no, see? Is that what you're wearing?
Anya
I'm not putting all that energy.
Drew
Also it's crazy. You can change like an entire sentence with the enunciation. Is that what you're wearing? Is that what you're wearing?
Perry Wilson
You know what?
Anya
Let me not laugh too hard because these are the kind of like phonic related lessons that are missing, right? And that's why no one could say
Drew
anything like, is that what you're wearing? Period.
Anya
I didn't say it in a rude way. I like your outfits giving very mad, happy shoes. Like. Yes, yes, I love it. I love it. But I wouldn't personally go outside in it. See, because personally right now I'm just speaking from a place of like where I'm at in my personal journey. I wouldn't wear this outfit out and especially if I knew I was going to run into somebody or like I gave a fuck.
Drew
That was a little too hard. I'm sorry.
Anya
You know what's crazy is it felt good. It kind of felt like. You know those videos where they put like they literally have people hanging from their necks. A workout studio. No, leave it dented. No, no, no, no. Leave the marks of in which you left.
Drew
Of whence you left me. Of when you left me.
Anya
What was I saying?
Drew
You were just literally being mean about me.
Kai
Oh yeah, I think it's really good. You look cool.
Anya
It's a good outfit. I'm just saying like can you also stand up? Let me know.
Kai
Can you show.
Anya
I'm not even doing like how tiny
Kai
your waist looks in this outfit too because I don't know if they saw that look at. Okay, you need to.
Anya
No, no. You need to tuck in your shirt by the way, because mind you, this whole time. No, no, no, no, no. It was tucked into your boxers when you came out and when I asked the question, pants were pulled down more and your shirt was hella tucked in and cuz Josie had to point it out. It was like, well, yeah. Why is your shirt all tucked in?
Wix Harmony Advertiser
That was an accident.
Drew
Well, I just pissed right before.
Anya
If I was showing somebody my showing off my outfit, AKA standing around waiting for a compliment, I would make sure I looked good.
Drew
I was not doing that. I just came in to talk. Like I feel like Jen, Jen from I love you.
Anya
Don't know Jen. Love island babes.
Drew
Same thing.
Anya
Very different. Very, very different. Doesn't exist. Yeah, I wish y' all knew about it so I could talk more about it because that's kind of all I want to talk about.
Drew
Just talk about it.
Anya
No, it's not as fun to have.
Drew
I talk about basketball.
Anya
Nothing about Love Island. It's very different to have a gorgeous woman staring at you because know anything about basketball? You can only beg for so much. To have two white guys in an under lit corner with an iPhone on a tripod on the table in front of him.
Kai
I was going to ask about that. Could we get some lighting just to like it up a little bit over here?
Drew
Yeah, we'll judge you up a little bit.
Kai
Yeah, I'd also. You guys are in makeup for three hours before episodes. Can I get Something. It's like.
Drew
It's prosthetics, baby.
Anya
Yeah, we would. I think it would cost too much for what you're. To make you look like. There's even work that we just do.
Drew
Like a little touch.
Anya
It would take layers on layers and. Oh, did you see that building in Manhattan that was buckling?
Kai
No, I didn't see it.
Drew
The hat is buckling.
Anya
Well, I was going to say.
Drew
And that's the episode, guys.
Kai
Should we do media?
Drew
Yeah.
Anya
All right.
Kai
What were you going to say? That my body's buckling under, like my bones.
Anya
I was going to say they. Because you took an Uber helicopter to the top of that building and when they dropped you down the building, it felt it buckled under pressure.
Drew
Oh, hi. He made sure to grab his cup of vodka, though.
Anya
Yeah, he can't. He can't go anything.
MC Gin
Sure.
Drew
To grab the vodka.
Anya
Vodka.
Kai
Is it okay that I drink all the time and I start.
Anya
Honestly, if it's your personal journey, like, I'm not one to judge.
Drew
I think everyone should be doing heroin and drinking all the time.

Akilah Hughes
should not be as complicated as it is getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is getting a new one put up in its place.
Drew
As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert E. Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.
Anya
If you're a historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.
Akilah Hughes
I'm Akilah Hughes and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space.
Anya
We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.

MC Gin
You said to me, yo, you know, keep at it cause you let me rap for you. It was magical for all of us. We made it.
Chuck
We made it.
Wix Harmony Advertiser
Yeah.
MC Gin
I'm like, we, you know, I'm like, I know these guys, but who are you? I'm MC Jen and this is last but not least, I'll be chatting with guests from all walks of life about the power of humor when it comes to facing difficult times. Like the co founder of Rough Riders, Darren D. Dean. Talking about as a kid. Do you remember that we met even way before that?
Chuck
Let me think.
Anya
Did you walk up to the gate?
MC Gin
That was me.
Anya
D. That was you?
MC Gin
That was me. The day we found out that you and the whole crew was at Hit Factory. The mission was to get me to go to the gate, start freestyling and see if I could get in the studio. I'm rapping and then suddenly I hear a voice. Hey, open the gate. Let, let him in the gate. Slowly went. They all there watching this and they watch me walk into there. And that is a moment that I will Remember, for the rest of my life. Listen. And last but not least, with McGin on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Anya
Yeah.
Drew
Oh, I want heroin.
Anya
Should all of us start drinking every day for, like, 21 days straight, like, an obscene amount, and then on the 21st day, just stop altogether and tell no medical professionals about it or anything.
Drew
See what happens.
Kai
Wait, did we talk about the girl on TikTok that was doing the drinking bender challenge?
Drew
No, I didn't. I never heard of this.
Anya
We talked about it, but I saw it.
Drew
Wait, I need to know what this is.
Kai
It was a girl. I think it was, like, a month ago, and she was doing a challenge to drink every day.
Drew
That's so sick.
Kai
And then she got to the end, and she was like, I actually think I'm just gonna do another, like, 10 days.
Drew
I actually feel better. I'm actually.
Anya
Literally. And then I was just on her TikTok, and she stopped drinking again. And I think it went for 10 days, like, she was gonna do hard 75 to balance it out. And then on day 11, she went back to.
Drew
Oh, it's like the hard seven. The easy 75. Let's make that a thing. You know the hard 75, where. You know the hard 75 where you have to have a boner for 75 days?
Kai
No, that's not. That's not what it is.
Drew
So I've been doing it wrong this whole time?
Kai
Are you serious? How many days have you had a boner?
Wix Harmony Advertiser
14.
Kai
That's.
Anya
Have you been pumping it with stuff?
Drew
Saline and Viagra versus Cialis. I was wondering why I've started to see blue. My vision is just blue.
Anya
Everything is blue. Wait, is that what Halsey was doing when she wrote that?
Wix Harmony Advertiser
Yes.
Drew
She was taking a bunch of Viagra. You know, that is literally a symptom. That happened to me one time.
Anya
You took Viagra?
Drew
Yeah, I took half of a pill because this guy I was hooking up with was really, really hot. And I was scared I was gonna have performance anxiety, so I took half of a Viag, and the drive over, my vision turned blue. I went to the dentist. She was doing up my teeth. She took all of them.
Anya
Well, who do you think gave to you?
Drew
She took all my teeth? No, she was, like, flossing my. And, like, she's really, like. It's really interesting. Like, she's really mean to me, but, like, in, like, a sweet way to this dentist before? Yeah, a couple times. And every time she, like, asks me the same questions I tell her, and she's like, oh, yeah, I remember my daughter does the same thing. And she's like, tools up in my mouth. I can't speak. And I'm like. And I just, like, said something that, like, set her off. Oh, her son is going to school for equal economics. And I, like, made a joke. I was like, rough time to have a degree in economics. And bitch. She, like, started cutting my shit up, going hard. And then she stopped. No, literally. And then halfway through, she stopped. And she was like, are you taking any medications? And I was like, finasteride and minoxidil. And then she was like, oh, that's for your hair, right? And I was like, yeah. And she was like, well, I was asking because you have the bloodiest gums I've ever seen a patient have before. And I was like, yeah, obviously. You're literally, like, cutting me right now. Like, it hurts so bad. Like, I was, like, wincing. I never wince. And, like, also, like, right before, I got told that going to the dentist is just them scratching your bones with metal picks. And that is the most haunting thing I've ever heard. I just watched Kai do a recording check, and it was really sexy. It was like. It was sexy. It was like when the lifeguards are, like, doing that, like, scan, and they look like robots.
Kai
Yeah. You feel safe right now, huh? Not me talking you through it.
Drew
I got y', all, period.
Anya
Well, I. I'm gonna admit that I have not been to the dentist in, like, a really long time. I actually can't remember the last time I went to the dentist.
Drew
No cavities. No cavities, no sugar.
MC Gin
Wait.
Kai
You should floss. Drew, you should floss.
Drew
I do floss.
Anya
He does not floss. He does. There's no way.
Kai
There's no.
Anya
He does not floss. He does not floss.
Kai
You just lied at me. And I saw it.
Anya
He does not floss. He barely brushes his teeth after that. Postmates hits the bottom of his.
Drew
You would not put that allegation on me because you are dead asleep by the time I'm eating my food and brushing my teeth.
Anya
I will admit, yes, I. I usually am asleep before you eat, but I have beautiful teeth.
Drew
No cavities. If I didn't brush my teeth, I wouldn't have cavities. Well, maybe I've never. I haven't been to a dentist.
Anya
I'd say I've never been to a dentist. Oh, I haven't been to a dentist in, like, a minute.
Drew
Y. I know this meme is bad,
Anya
but I, I am like, I'm actually OD about my like picking in my mouth and like.
Drew
Yeah, you brushing my teeth.
Anya
I've been told that since I was a kid. I like, I over smile.
Drew
Yep. Just as I thought. Yeah, I knew it. I fucking knew it. I knew it.
Anya
But yeah, I over brush my teeth, but I don't do that as much now that I've had Prozac. But it actually used to be really bad. I used to brush my teeth after, like even just drinking water a few times because I used to think that I was putting the germs in my mouth back into my cup. And bottles too.
Drew
Bottles, Tomatoes.
Anya
Like, you know, like smaller bottle of soda.
Wix Harmony Advertiser
Yeah.
Anya
I never used to put those back in the fridge because I was like, well, if I don't finish it now, it's going to explode with bacteria and basically be a nuke from my stomach and kill me.
Drew
Yes.
Anya
If I put it back in the fridge.
Wix Harmony Advertiser
Yes.
Anya
Is that true?
Drew
No.
Anya
Oh.
Drew
I honestly, like, it doesn't seem like easy for bacteria to grow.
Anya
Like what are the dynamic of that?
Drew
I've been the family dynamic of the Bacter.
Kai
No.
Drew
Last night me and Enya slept through a fire alarm that was going off from God knows when till Josh got home. And I'm gonna admit something,
Anya
I was not yet asleep.
Drew
You're.
Anya
And, but I did. Okay, so I did get up, but rain had left. I had gotten in bed. I was like falling asleep. It went off, it went off first and then I stood up. And by the time I stood up and it stopped going, I was like, okay, maybe it's done. And I knew you were asleep. So I was like, and I was listening, I was like, okay, that didn't wake him up. And then it went off again. And I immediately got up and started to go over to that side of the house, but I literally got scared. I was like, oh my God, someone is definitely hiding in one of those rooms and putting smoke up to that detector so I could come in there
Drew
and they're gonna fucking stab me in the butt, girl. Wait, what is it? I need to stop smoking with paranoid people. Like, what do you mean? Is that Michael Jackson?
Anya
What do you mean? Yoji Yama in the corner?
Drew
What do you mean? That's Yoji John Yoji Yamamoto in the corner. Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Anya
But yeah, I, I, I did sleep through and then Drew woke up and had a panic attack and came and slept in mama's bed.
Drew
Yeah, I had a full blown meltdown at like 2:30 in the morning. But I Woke up because I was having, like, the worst nightmare of my life that I actually can't even talk about.
Anya
No.
Drew
Talk about it. No. It was so bad, dude.
Anya
I used to have such bad nightmares, but now because I smoke so much weed, I don't have any more dreams. And that's okay because most of my dreams are nightmares. And I've said that even before I started smoking weed.
Kai
Yeah.
Anya
Also, so there's. There. Yeah, there's too much of my brain to avoid.
Drew
I took half of a Xanax last night.
Kai
Did it feel good?
Drew
It literally felt so good. I'm not even kidding. It literally felt so good.
Anya
Oh, and then we went to bed.
Drew
Yeah, it felt really awesome. I actually, like, stayed up for another couple hours and.
Anya
Wait. What?
Drew
Yeah, since I charged my Fitbit, I got my sleep score and I'm averaging, like, in 90, 91. Sometimes I dip to, like, an 87 if I don't get seven hours. Whatever.
Anya
Wait, you stayed up?
Drew
Yeah, I stayed up. I freaked out till, like, 4 in the morning.
Anya
Oh, that sucks. Yeah, I guess I didn't really need it. I just took the other half because I was like, well, don't go put that in there. I need to go back to bed. Because also, all of this happened because I had drank. I don't drink as much coffee as I used to. And I used to be one of those people who would say caffeine doesn't affect me, but it fully does. So I try not to have them late. But that night, rain was over and we wanted to play video games, so I drink a latte. So I just taken my 2 milligram of melatonin before the fire alarm started going off. And that's also what made me so freaked out when I went downstairs to go and try and turn it off, because I was like, at that point of melatonin induced REM where I genuinely thought I was in a dream. And then I didn't know if Josh was still home. And then I was like, wait, did I put on the alarm before I went to sleep? And I was like, I haven't seen Drew for five hours. Like, what if they already killed Drew? Like, I literally started scaring myself. So I went back up to my bed because I was like, okay, I'm still a bit sleepy that I could fall back asleep and I'll get. I'd rather get killed in my sleep.
Drew
No, I literally. Like, last night, I was thinking about it. I was like. Like, it would be awesome to die in my sleep.
Anya
God forbid. God forbid.
Drew
God Forbid, God willing.
Anya
What was I saying on that type of time? But, like, I would love to die. Like, old age.
Drew
No, I was just telling Josiah that today. I was like, I'm tired of this. Like, I want to die at 65. I want to die at 75. Like, I don't want to.
Anya
The bad.
Drew
Like, so long.
Anya
The local news is coming to my.
Drew
Y' all are going to be wiping in your kids.
Kai
Kids.
Drew
Your kids are going to be wiping my ass. Like, my soggy loose ran through me. And inya on the 4th did discuss that. We're gonna get our. Or she's gonna get her eggs frozen.
Anya
Yeah, I need to.
Drew
And then I'm gonna take one of
Anya
them down there, bro.
Drew
Yeah, it's a barren wasteland.
Anya
See, I'm never going to.
Drew
Do you want to ask us a question?
Anya
I'm also scared of the doctor because I'm scared, period.
Drew
Don't be.
Kai
Okay, I'll ask you guys a question. Because it's a podcast, so we have to talk about something. It's a podcast, so we should. We have to talk.
Anya
I thought we were chilling.
Kai
Well, no, we're. We're doing a podcast. We're on episode 247, but we live here.
Drew
Oh, wait.
Anya
Oh, my God. Debut. Debut. Sit 7, my Chitty, my Chitty 6 7, my Chitty Sister 28.
Kai
Also, this squeaky dead silent.
Anya
I really love this shirt because it looks like the Cafe Bustelo packaging.
Drew
Okay, I thought you were gonna say something hateful.
Anya
Oh, my gosh.
Drew
I just said it's like, when Josiah comes up to me, like, I flinch because I think he's about to, like, hit me or bite me or pinch me or tickle me. It's like, anytime you say anything, why
Anya
did you add on those other things? You just wanted to say hit me. Be true. Be true.
Drew
He hits me.
Anya
And that's okay because you deserve it.
Drew
I was saying something earlier.
Kai
You were saying something very smart.
Anya
Wait, you were gonna ask a question? No.
Wix Harmony Advertiser
Oh, yeah.
Kai
I was gonna ask you as a question.
Drew
Yeah.
Kai
Would you rather hook up with. You have to hook up with one of your parents. You can choose which doesn't matter. Or you have to jack off with poop from a guy that. With poop from a guy that ate glass.
Drew
Is the glass dissolved, or is it in his butt?
Kai
No, it's in little shards in his.
Drew
Are we talking, like, fiberglass?
Kai
No, we're talking glass from, like. Like, a normal glass.
Anya
Why do you say fiberglass Would be my mom, I think.
Kai
Oh, yeah, that would suck.
Drew
But glass, I'm fucking my mom really easy.
Kai
That's up.
Anya
I'm killing myself, bro.
Kai
And yet, as the secret third thing, every single time.
Drew
And you can escape hypothetically over your
Anya
eyes like no one. I'm not kidding, Hypotheticals, you could break them because you could just kill yourself because there's no world where you could stop me from killing my.
Drew
And yeah, I actually, if that's what
Anya
I want to do, that's what I'm going to do.
Drew
And yeah, I'm not joking. I think that is like a sign of autism. Like, I'm not joking. I think like not being able to understand hypotheticals is like a sign that you're like leaning a little far on the spectrum.
Anya
Oh, my God.
Drew
That's not just. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's a thing. That's a thing.
Kai
Okay. What I think that's a sign of is you're a genius. Because that's how Steve Jobs would think he would go. There's no, nothing is impossible.
Anya
What's the difference after how many episodes? 267.
Kai
267.
Anya
Okay. Yeah.
Drew
What's the difference in a genius? In someone who's autistic?
Kai
Wait, say that.
Anya
I mean, that's my take.
Drew
Spectrum. People on the spectrum not being able to understand hypotheticals.
Anya
Hypotheticals are just like also a waste of time.
Drew
Autistic individuals often struggle with hypothetical scenarios because they tend to process language. That's not it. And rely on concrete reasoning making abstract what if questions confusing instead of the ability inability to imagine. It is an executive functioning difference requiring structured step by step information to grasp. Okay, yeah, so I take that back. Context blindness, literal thinking. Autistic brains generally understand language exactly as it is stated, rather than how it might be implied.
Anya
Well, I think that America is getting its karma kiss for the 250th year. And I need somebody to interview the guy who parachuted down into the it's
Drew
literally the best video of all time insert.
Anya
Yeah, literally need someone to interview him
Drew
is exactly what it is. It feels like America's going through and then the stage falling on those dancers.
Anya
Yes, dude. Almost fudgeing, killing someone. What's crazy is it's so white trash. Think any of those events are catastrophic or like life changing enough. For instance, that guy crashing with that parachute, do you think even beyond his own wish for it, he may have some sort of PTSD response where he is then fully liberal because like he was covered in the flag head to toe.
Drew
Can I derail the conversation for one Second before I forget it.
Anya
Yeah.
Drew
Gay guy pt. Yasdi.
Anya
Okay, you know what? Thank you for asking.
Drew
Yeah. Ptsd. Gay guy who goes through a traumatic event has ptsd.
Anya
Wait, but it wouldn't be pts.
Drew
Don't. Don't think about it. Well, there's four S's in Y, so
Kai
one of those, there's an official amount of S's. So he would have a PTSD response
Anya
making him, like the American flag. Because it happened on the 4th of July. It was on, like, a huge, Like, Especially for the right wing. They were like. Like, this was literally their Met Gala. Like, they thought they were about to be given their personal Met gala, and
Drew
they got given poop and crap out of a butt.
Anya
Grammys. 20, 25.
Drew
Wow.
Anya
That's what they got given. You don't get the Grammys you want. You get the Grammys you deserve.
Kai
Was that a Sydney Sweeney impression? I'm serious.
Anya
No, it wasn't.
Kai
I was just wondering because I was like, is that something that she said? Because it sounded, like, finished.
Anya
Did I go to the comedy club tonight, put my hat.
Drew
Yes.
Kai
Oh, my God. Them calling your name, and it's your silhouette at, like, the back door. And she'll see the hat,
Drew
and it's just a Sydney Sweeney impression.
Anya
Impression.
Kai
I'm so sad that we never got the opportunity for one of, like, the DJ shows. Is you being introduced as, like, a special guest dj, and then it's your silhouette on a sheet with the.
Wix Harmony Advertiser
Didn't.
Drew
We were trying to be.
Kai
We were trying to. We just didn't have the budget.
Drew
Yeah, that.
Anya
We have the contract. We have the contact for the people who can allocate the budget. Maybe we can allocate for the budget. We do a lot of allocating.
Drew
We're allocating. If we just allocate.
Anya
If we just put our minds to it and we allocate, we can keep
Drew
allocating towards the budget. Bro, if I think the budget is allocated.
Anya
If I ended up in a bar and I was a pathological liar and I needed to lie to financiers, and that's how I would get caught.
Drew
We're actually getting the budget.
Anya
Thing is, we got to take the budget allocated for different things.
Drew
Tipping the hat.
Kai
Period.
Drew
Period.
Anya
Well, yes.
Drew
Well, I love the way you just said period. I was kind of Hercules. I woke up in someone else's house.
Anya
Wait, what the.
Drew
I woke up in someone else's bed.
Anya
Dude. I can't believe James Charles really had his last. That's like.
Drew
Why did that remind you of James Charles?
Anya
Because it was like a weird gay guy.
Kai
Like, body a weird gay guy. Wow.
Anya
See, I'm going call it.
MC Gin
What?
Drew
Neither of those people.
Anya
I love gay people. And that's why I had to put weird in front of it.
Kai
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense.
Anya
It's not just any, like, woo, woo, woo gay. It was weird
Drew
in.
Kai
Yeah, that was fucked up. Drew, are you okay?
Anya
What the.
Drew
She has me picking out my thumb again. I'm bleeding.
Anya
I remind you of the girls at school?
Wix Harmony Advertiser
What?
Anya
I forgot what I was saying, dude.
Drew
James Charles.
Anya
Oh, I can't believe in his, like, doomsday preparation of getting ousted as a, like, reoccurring pedophile was to try to launch a pilot pop career. Like, bro, if the makeup company button didn't work after you've been a makeup artist for a decade, the pop star button is not gonna.
Drew
It's not gonna activate, baby. And also, like, honestly, if I don't
Anya
start acting right, like me,
Drew
our pop star career starting soon.
Anya
When I dropped that seal, I know three of y' all got my back.
Drew
If INYA had zero fans, y' all would be dead.
Anya
Are going to the moon. Oh, my gosh. I really hope I got into stream.
Kai
I know.
Drew
What are we going to do if
Anya
we didn't send out my.
Drew
What are we going to do if we don't get in?
Anya
I'm going to kill myself.
Drew
Yeah, me too.
Anya
Done. Look out for that.
Drew
Kai, another question, Another question, please, for me.
Kai
Who did you guys vote for?
Anya
I didn't vote.
Drew
Hillary Clinton. I actually didn't vote this year. It's too confusing.
Anya
I felt sick.
Drew
I actually didn't like either of them.
Anya
I was feeling very conflicted. I was feeling very conflicted by the two oppositions.
Drew
No, I voted for Hillary. We're gonna win one day, guys.
Anya
Dude, do y' all think people are gonna vote for the midterms or are people too busy, like, being enchanted by the world?
Drew
They should be like, the top tier. Yeah, the top. The top tier. Cookie terms. Because midterms is like. It's mid.
Anya
Yeah, they gotta change the language for the kids.
Kai
I forgot that we all voted for Kamala because I was thinking about. I was driving today thinking about the election. I was like, oh, it was Biden versus Trump. I completely forgot that that's, like, who we ended up voting.
Anya
Also because the second, like, the second she lost and the second he got into office, like, this was the term he was going to do the jump Dr. Drive for all the. He laid out. So there wasn't even a second yeah, there was, like, I think less than, like, in the first 90 days. He had so much going on, we barely had time to mourn the fact, like, a barrage. Dude, life is gonna crumble. And you know what? I'm. I'm happy. I. I unironically, I'm happy her life went in the way that she just got to get that book deal and go the.
Drew
Yeah, she.
Anya
She.
Drew
She. And she vanished. Yeah, she vanished.
Kai
Yeah. Where did she go?
Drew
I don't know. Yeah.
Anya
Which is a lot of you guys should take notes. A lot of you guys should take notes. And I'm already home, so don't even turn that back on me. I'm coming live from my home.
Drew
Yeah. Bouncing.
Anya
I know
Drew
another question you're gonna.
Kai
Dude, let me think of one. Talk about the meme that you're gonna bring up, and then I'll come up with a really good question.
Drew
Oh, my God.
Kai
Also Drew. So I'm wondering, what is the green thing on your chair? What is that? Can I see it? Can I look at it?
Drew
This?
Kai
Yeah, I was just. Can I look at that?
Drew
It's cat urine. It's cat piss.
Kai
It's a cat. Oh, interesting.
Anya
It actually makes you feel very good. Only for three seconds, though. Then you're gonna feel the worst you've ever felt for the rest of your life, you know?
Drew
Oh, and you already hit it. Good luck. I was gonna say, I know this meme is, like, washed as fuck, but I really love it. It's like, it's. It's resonating with me. He's trying to ignore it.
Anya
I think if I found weed in my kid's room, I would just incite and plant the fear of a green out and pure psychosis and paranoia, and I'm just gonna. I would just be like, dude, I know it might be fun right now, but it gets so scary. After a few times, it starts to feel up. If I would lace my kid, I was gonna say, why has no one done that?
Drew
If I found weed in my kid's room, I'd dap him up and say, you're lit, bro.
Kai
That's sick.
Drew
Yeah, I'm the cool dad.
Kai
That's me as a dad, too.
Drew
We're the cool dad.
Anya
If I found weed in my.
Drew
I'd smoke with him.
Anya
If I found weed in my daughter's room, I would go to the dispensary. I would first smoke what she had and been like, okay, I think this is leaning hybrid.
Drew
If I know her, this is delta.
Anya
Yeah. And then I would go And I would like buy a bunch of things and she'd get back and it'd be like one of those like bundle like baskets for each stir.
Drew
But with a bunch of basket.
Anya
Yeah, yeah, but with like, like stuff, like little snacks and stuff. And then if I caught my son with weed in his room, I would it call an Uber pool and then have it take him to the police station. But I would put all the weed. And you know that Sandy Liang vest she did with all the pockets? Yeah, yeah, the transparent one. The one that put him in a bit of an archive. Because this will be like some 10 years in the future, 12, 15 years in the future.
Kai
Years in the future.
Anya
So then I would just.
Drew
Smoking weed,
Anya
bad piece of shit.
Drew
So what were we saying? Kids? Smoking weed. A bunch of fucking bullshit.

Akilah Hughes
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is getting a new one put up in its place.
Drew
As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert E. Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.
Anya
If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job.
Akilah Hughes
I'm Akilah Hughes and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space.
Anya
We are more than our bodies. We contain essence, we contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a Fire. That is really catching.
Akilah Hughes
You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

What's the deal with creatine?
Perry Wilson
What's the deal with cupping?

What's the deal with sleep?

MC Gin
You said to me, yo, you know, keep at it. Cause you let me rap for you. It was magical for all of us.
Anya
They go, ah, we made it.
Chuck
We made it.
MC Gin
I'm like, we. You know, I'm like, I know these guys, but who are you? I'm MC Gin. And this is last but not least, I'll be chatting with guests from all walks of life about the power of humor when it comes to facing difficult times, like the co founder of Rough Riders, Darren D. Dean, talking about as a kid, do you remember that we met even way before that?
Chuck
Let me think.
Anya
Did you walk up to the gate?
MC Gin
That was me, Dean.
Anya
That was you?
MC Gin
That was me. The day we found out that you and the whole crew was at Hip Factory. The mission was to get me to go to the gate, start freestyling, and see if I could get in the studio. I'm rapping and then suddenly I hear a voice. Hey, open the gate.
Akilah Hughes
Let.
MC Gin
Let him in the gate. Slowly went. They all. They watching this and they watch me walk into there. And that is a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life. Listen. And last but not least, with McGin on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts, he's saying
Anya
a whole bunch of bullshit.
Drew
I. I like that. I went to the car wash. I had like a very big day I went to the dentist, I went to the car wash. And at the car wash. Was that today? No, this is two days ago.
Anya
Okay.
Drew
Why does it matter?
Anya
Boring ass day.
Drew
Well, no, I'm getting to the fun part. Y' all didn't even let me finish. Boys, if a girl says, I want you to come for me right now, that means she's over it.
Anya
Okay? Can you finish what the fuck you were saying? Your car washed. Your big day.
Drew
I don't know if I do want to talk about it. I just thought.
Kai
So you're going to tell us the most boring, normal shit ever?
MC Gin
No.
Drew
I got cornered by a really scary person that was dressing his wounds, and he was, like, kind of yelling at me. And we were having a conversation, rather, he was talking at me about a bunch of things. Very insane psychobabble. Like, I couldn't follow anything he was saying. And it happened because I was sitting in the sun, and I was like, you know what? I'm gonna sit in the shade. And I didn't realize that he was a little loose. Screw loose in the head. And eventually I keep. I keep trying to get up and leave. Like, I'm like, I actually, at one point, I'm like, dude, I have to take a piss. And he was like, wait, wait, wait. I'm almost done. I'm almost done. And then eventually, I see my car pull around. It just got washed through, doing the inside. And I'm like, hurry up, hurry up. Like, I'm literally about to be attacked because he starts getting aggro with me because I'm trying to leave. And then eventually I'm like, oh, there's my car. And he's like, it's not done. Your car's not done. And I was like, oh, I. I have to. I have to leave. And he's like, I. I forget what he said after. I have to leave. But I kind of hustle to my car. And then the guy's like, oh, we're not done yet. And I was like, oh, it's fine. I have to get out of here. This dude follows behind. Apparently, he's a regular there. And the guy washing my car is like, dude, I told you, you're not allowed to be here. Like, this isn't, like, just a hangout spot for you. And then he starts getting really physical and aggressive with the guy that was washing my car. And it was really scary because that could have been me.
Kai
He had wounds.
Drew
He had, like, wound juice all down his arm.
Kai
Oh, no.
Anya
I saw a satellite video from, like, four Wildfires happening. And the top comment greens me out so bad because I was like, I don't know if I miss, like, reading or understanding the situation, but the top comment is, but they don't have videos of UFOs. Like, that was the top. They do 62 likes. And granted, it's not a very popular video. I'm like, how do you jump? Like, because there's. You're seeing satellite images of an active fire.
Drew
I mean, I kind of see his point. Low key.
Kai
I see his point. But then immediately I'm like, well, they have advanced technology, so they can obviously obfuscate. Yeah, they can't. Their craft.
Drew
Oh, my God, say that word again.
Kai
Obfuscate. Not me talking you through it. Not me talking you through it.
Drew
Now you say obuscate opulence,
Anya
right?
Drew
Yeah, they can. They have invisibility cloaks.
Kai
Obviously they have invisibility cloaks.
Drew
They can just like, they're. It's like mirrors facing down. So when you're looking up.
Anya
Did you see the more Insult girl mop dance mob?
Drew
Wait, what did you. The Morton Salt girl dance.
Anya
Dude. I don't know why the Morton Salt Company tried to put on, like, a PR event in Kansas City of all places. I don't. I think that's where it started. So they were like, yep, yep. 258, where I was going to do our big one. And they had these girls, these dancers. I actually feel bad for them. Them show up and like, how old were they? Like, kind. I. I'm assuming, like, if not our age, like, a little younger maybe. But they had all these dancers and, like, Kansas City based influencers pull up to the scene and they're like, oh, we're doing this big event. You're really gonna want to be there. And like, they sent out this really dramatic emo being like, we're gonna do, like, essentially be like, we're gonna do our big one. You don't want to miss it. It's gonna be a viral moment. Have your cameras out.
Drew
I mean, fierce is fierce, honey. She loves being the lead. I send it. Wait, why would they give them, like, fake instruments? This is actually scary. This is, like, scary.
Anya
Someone wasn't allocating the budget.
Drew
The budget was allocated.
Kai
That's kind of like Clockwork Orange.
Anya
But I think more Insult Company has been trying to cover it up because there's girls who posted videos from behind the scenes. And because people are making fun of it, they're having these poor girls take down their videos from this event they were a part of. And like, most of the girls aren't even saying anything bad. It's just like random videos they all did in like the locker room while waiting before they had to like, I don't know, go out in Union Square of Kansas City and like stomp around with fake guitars. I really don't understand why the Morton girl would have a guitar.
Drew
I know, I don't get it. Did y' all see MK ULTRA files are being spoken about in Congress?
Kai
I don't know, I thought that was already established, that that was like real.
Drew
It is. I think they're like trying to release the rest of the files.
Kai
Jesus.
Drew
I thought of a cool script about MKUltra.
Anya
I don't know what this is.
Drew
It's a lot.
Kai
It was like the CIA was giving people LSD and it's all confirmed as real. They were giving civilians LSD and making them go crazy and then they would torture them. Also maybe this, there's this book I forgot, it's about the CIA. Do you know which one I'm talking about?
Drew
I know exactly. I don't know the name.
Kai
I'm blanking on the name, but apparently I think maybe this is misinformation. I don't know, but I think the Unabomber was also one of them. But that's like a real confirmed information. We do love to spread that. But MKH Ultra is real. They gave people drugs and made them go crazy.
Drew
There's like this one story about this dude who worked for the CIA and loved doing drugs and he was just given a bunch of money and he was like diagnosed, diagnosed sadist. And they gave him a bunch of money, clearance and immunity to like start a brothel. I think he started like six brothels with this specific one. It was like a hotel room and then a mirror on the wall, but it was a see through room. And the brothel girls would dose the dudes drinks with LSD and then he'd watch them freak the out and he would kind of like have these girls torture him. And meanwhile the whole time behind the mirror he is just snort coke and heroin and like stealing money and shit. And like it was literally pointless. Completely and utterly pointless. Like they didn't have any scientific data to take from it. It literally like that is what he said in his final report is like nothing from it. And then he wrote a letter like after he was long retired to the CIA and was like, he said some really creepy shit and it was just like, where else or when else would I have ever been able to like pillage, maim, kill, torture and Snort as much as I did. With the total immunity from the US Government. It was crazy.
Anya
Did people like that? I'm just like, oh, my gosh. If we lived in my country, it'd be awesome because I would have you, like, fully butt naked in the middle of the time square. But it'd be a time square where no children live in the city. It'd be like a city of like angry people. Like friendly people, woods. And then they would all in the morning wake up to a bunch of stones on their front porch and they would be invited for continental breakfast in the square alongside throwing your stones at this man, but you wouldn't throw stones at. Until he dies. Because I kind of like the idea of it being like more docile angry people. Like older angry people who didn't get the chance to be angry. So it'd be a small town of that. So any retirement home, and then just like, let him dry out like beef jerky and like, hang in there for a few days. And just like, people could pelt him whenever they're having, like, a frustrating time in their day.
Kai
Yeah.
Drew
If anybody wants to look into it, it's called Operation Midnight Climax.
Kai
Do you think people, like. Once you're building the building and you're. And you're installing this two way mirror, and then for a moment you see your reflection, like installing the mirror, and you have like the vial of drugs. Do you think there was ever a moment where he's like, like, damn, I'm like a bad guy?
Drew
Yeah. I mean, he talks about it in his letter he sent.
Kai
It's so funny.
Drew
Yeah, he was like, I suck. But like, I loved it.
Kai
Speaking of people in institutions that are maybe bad firefighters overall, good. I do think this. But my cousin is a firefighter.
Drew
Do you have a mustache?
Kai
He does have a mustache.
Drew
Is it the gay one?
Kai
It's not the gay one. No.
Drew
I never saw a picture of your gay cousin I might have to have sex with.
Kai
No, that's not appropriate.
Anya
Not before you have sex with them.
Kai
You also. Yeah, you're gonna have to get through me. Okay. So my cousin said that the most. Most of the people that are arsonists. Not most of them, but a high percentage, like a very high percentage are ex firefighters.
Drew
Oh, I've heard of this.
Kai
Firefighters. I've heard of this because they are, like, really attracted to fire. And it's like, that's the job that you do to legally play with fire, basically.
Drew
Y. I've heard of that before. Yeah.
Kai
So. Yeah.
Drew
And most strippers.
Anya
So your cousin is an arsonist?
Kai
No, no, he's actually, he's not a firefighter. He's a fire detective.
Drew
Oh, that's sick.
Kai
Isn't that cool?
Drew
That's fun.
Anya
Okay, so now we know if we ever wanted to knock Kai out of the picture. What? Don't do it with fire. Because his cousin would start piping up and causing so much.
Kai
Was that even an option in your head was to like burn me? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Drew
We can't talk about. We can't talk about that. I can't talk about friends. I'm not kidding. I can't talk about it.
Kai
Well, of course I know it's not time for media yet, but I just, I. I just can't wait. I just can't wait. I saw Maddie's Secret the other night. So funny.
Anya
You.
Kai
It's really funny. Shout out to Eric and Nate.
Anya
Oh, I actually also saw it. I saw it first. I. Oh, what screening time did you go to?
Kai
7:50.
Anya
Dude, I literally went to the 3:31. I wish you told me in the afternoon.
Kai
Wait, you went to the 3:31 in the afternoon, huh? In the afternoon?
Anya
Yeah.
Kai
Okay, so I went to 7:50 in the morning. So I got you. I fucking got you. Because that's. I'm always one step ahead. Exactly. That's exactly right.
Drew
Well, I went two days before you guys.
Anya
Simply not. Okay, sorry.
Kai
Oh, I just want to say shout out to Eric and Nate. Eric is plays John Early. John early plays like this like beautiful woman in the movie and Eric is her husband, the character's husband in the movie. And they have these really funny sex scenes that are like insane. And Eric is a friend of mine. I want to say shout out to Eric because you're very talented. You pulled it off and that was very funny. And actually I squirted laughing.
Drew
Oh, yikes.
Anya
I want to see that movie so bad.
Drew
I want to see it so bad.
Kai
If you're listening to watch it.
Drew
I was.
Kai
Do I. I was just like commanding the audience to go watch the Good night.
Anya
Oh yeah, he did a call to action.
Drew
John early and Kate Berlant need as many tickets bought as they possibly can get because they're genius comedy minds.
Anya
I know.
Drew
I'm so excited that I really need to be able to keep making stuff because I watched Would It Kill youl to Laugh? The thing they did with a 24 unironically. One of the funniest things I've seen maybe ever. It might be my favorite piece of comedy, like made.
Anya
I need to watch.
Drew
It was so fucking good. And like they are so funny also, mind you. Like really, really, really good actors. Like yeah, not just comedy actors. Like there was a scene where I was like damn, y' all are acting. Yalls dicking balls off. Like this is crazy. Two of my heroes. So shout out them.
Kai
The funniest thing I've ever seen is you on the Pilates Reformer, I think.
Drew
What about me on the Sibian?
Kai
That wasn't funny. I was locked the in.
Drew
Yeah. I'm still confused at something Kai said earlier. I like literally it's been bothering me all day long.
Kai
Okay.
Drew
He said 7:30 week.
Anya
No, but then he said work. He said 7:30 work. So I think he was saying does the week of 7:30 words?
Drew
It's really confusing.
Kai
I'm going to give the audience some context here and insert it. I made a typo that was very, very easy to understand given the context clues that people pick up on at like age 4 or 5. Whenever optimum permits. What? I'm 3, you're not 3. Also doesn't make sense cuz a 4
Anya
or 5 year old would not like.
Drew
I'm a very mature 3 year old.
Kai
I'm a very optimistic words to understand that. I texted them this, I'll insert it. And they've been bullying me. But yeah. Guys, continue. Bully a man with a mental illness.
Anya
Oh, easy. You should kill yourself.
Kai
Oh my God.
Anya
Boom. And just like that. That's your kryptonite. Oh, you got a mental illness. I know exactly how to get you yourself.
Drew
Look in this mirror.
Anya
Rule number one, make the enemy hate themselves.
Drew
Is that really rule number one?
Anya
No, I just like rule number one
Kai
is divide and conquer.
Anya
Well, rule number one is if the person you want to kill is suic. Suicidal, why you gotta get your hands dirty?
Drew
What's Rule 25?
Anya
That's what that one girl.
Kai
And this is why I think you're so. You're very smart. Continue.
Anya
Well, my media of the week is
Kai
speaking of the World Cup. I had Drew sounding like a vuvuzilla
Drew
the other night and I. And sadly, sadly Mexico did lose. But we made rachata out of my butt while it was sounding like a vuvu suela for Brazil, who also lost.
Anya
Dishes rigged, bro.
Kai
I'm sorry, Anya. That, that was actually like a very. I interrupted you in a very violent way just now and I want to apologize because you were doing your. I think you were.
Anya
You have scary dreams tonight.
Kai
I probably will. Every night I have actually. I wake up from the night I.
Anya
I would wake up from the night God willing.
Drew
Wait, do you wake up or work up?
Kai
Up.
Drew
Oh, wait, we didn't finish the explanation.
Anya
Oh yeah. Kai is just always drunk, so he always has crazy typos like, sorry, sorry, we can't tell when you're drunk or not anymore.
Drew
Hold your glass up.
Kai
All done. This was all Popov.
Drew
All done.
Kai
That's pl. The bot that comes in a plastic bottle. And you know what's crazy? I don't even care if I feel better anymore. I just want to feel different.
Drew
That's really sad. I'm sorry.
Anya
Had some like a 14 year old would say after like not smoking for
Drew
just the type of.
Anya
I'm gonna be saying when I finally go on a tolerance break. If I ever get.
Drew
I saw, I don't want to feel. I saw someone tweet saying, imagine being Justin Bieber, like getting high as on weed. Like just smoking a joint and then like getting paranoid because there's 14 year old girls literally cutting themselves because you smoke weed. And he's like smoking. It's funny. Never, ever, ever put me in a situation, bro.
Anya
Situations are happening every day that I've never partaken on this and don't put
Drew
me in one of them. My media.
Anya
My media is morning do donk by beyonce.
Drew
I watched Sakario. Finally.
Anya
I'm trying to think if I've watched.
Drew
It's Sicario. Yeah, yeah, I watched that finally. It was fucking awesome.
Kai
Very good. Man.
Drew
I can't believe I've gotten this long without seeing it. Very frustrating. It's like when I finally get on antidepressants and they actually work this time and I'm gonna be like, cool. I wasted 23 years of my life being depressed.
Anya
That's not a waste.
Drew
I wasted 18 years of my life being depressed.
Anya
Think I'm gonna stop taking my pros act.
Drew
No, do not do that.
Kai
Do not do that.
Anya
Oh, so everybody thinks I'm evil without my pros act?
Kai
No, they didn't say that.
Anya
Noted. No, I was, Dude, I was insane. That was crazy.
Drew
Baby, you still are.
Anya
I know. I, I. And that's, that's why I'm saying that's insane. Like, that's the craziest part. The craziest part is like, oh, I'm. I'm still here here. Like now I can just control things a bit better and I can see I'm like, okay, that's like, don't.
Drew
What?
Kai
Like a soft box right here would be nice for yourself, like a glow.
Drew
Don't call Enya that.
Kai
No, I wasn't talking about. I wasn't talking about Enya's claim.
Anya
I'm soft box. You're a loose box.
Drew
Oh, I'm hard pull.
Kai
And I have a tight little balloon knot.
Drew
Kai has a tight little hairy bussy.
Anya
Ew. I literally hate the idea of men's, like, butt. Eric.
Drew
Bye, guys.
Anya
Love you. This is an I heart podcast.

Podcast: Emergency Intercom (iHeartPodcasts)
Hosts: Enya Umanzor, Drew Phillips
Episode Release: July 10, 2026
Theme: Dissecting anxieties, bodily woes, and the absurd ways modern life—especially beauty culture and internet trends—“poisons” us just to sell the solution back. Full of offbeat humor, meta-commentary, and unfiltered friendship.
This episode is a classic Emergency Intercom mix of personal anecdotes, wild hypotheticals, and sharp-witted cultural critique. The hosts (joined by friends Kai and, behind the scenes, Josiah) tackle the theme of how modern society “feeds us poison to sell us the cure”— riffing on beauty industry pressures, viral gut illnesses, processed food, and the endless cycles of consumer self-doubt. It’s one of their most freewheeling, concrete-to-absurd transitions yet, ranging from bug bites and Botox to dentist horror stories, voting apathy, conspiracy, and who’d make the best Uber driver.
The episode’s strength lies in its mix of vulnerability, irreverence, and the hosts’ signature, borderline-chaotic banter.
Listeners get classic Emergency Intercom: the sense of everyday malaise wrapped in memes, vulnerability shaded with sarcasm, and both real-world and online absurdity forever mixed. They critique cycles of societal harm (from beauty standards to food and wellness grifts), deal in poetic rants about bodily anxiety and dreams of justice, and toss in self-doubt and self-love—always with a heavy dose of self-aware humor. If you ever wondered how to turn bug bites and Botox into a thesis about American capitalism, this is the episode.
