PsychoSIS Podcast – Psychosis Episode One (March 6, 2021)
Hosts: Britney (A), Gabby (C), Kathy (B), additional guest voices (D, E)
Episode Overview
The debut episode of PsychoSIS Podcast is a raw, irreverent, and self-consciously controversial comedy discussion. Gabby and Kathy (with host Britney) tackle the intersections of internet culture, plastic surgery ambitions, mental health struggles, and public meltdowns — through the lens of celebrity scandals, drug anecdotes, and biting humor. The central aim? “Help us pay for our plastic surgeries!!!,” celebrate chaotic queens, and (maybe) eventually do a face reveal post-op.
Note: The episode features frequent offensive language, attempted shock humor, and self-deprecating commentary around topics like mental illness, body image, and addiction.
