Your Mom’s House Ep. 842: “Joe DeRosa Is Vile & Horrendous”

Hosts: Christina Pazsitzky (Christine), Tom Segura (off this week)
Guest: Joe DeRosa
Date: January 14, 2026
Podcast Studio: YMH Studios

Episode Overview

This episode of Your Mom’s House is a wild, irreverent ride co-hosted by Christina P. and guest comedian Joe DeRosa, sitting in for Tom Segura. The main theme? Life’s annoyances, collective dysfunction, and the joys of being "vile & horrendous." Joe is here to debut (and promote) his new YMH podcast, but also to riff on nostalgia, sobriety, parenting, collectibles, pop culture, fast food, and the endless absurdities of everyday existence. As always, the tone is raunchy, confessional, and loaded with offbeat humor that’s both self-deprecating and judgmental.

Key Discussion Points & Memorable Moments

Introducing Joe, Names, and 80s TV Crushes

[01:09-04:14]

Christina welcomes Joe. They joke about constantly being misnamed (“Christina/Christine,” “Tim/Tom” jokes).
Dive into 80s/90s TV nostalgia, notably Facts of Life, and which of the characters was the hottest.
- Joe is all in on Jo: “I like a chick with a little dirt on her.” (02:32, Joe DeRosa)
- Christina admits she had Jo’s haircut in third grade.
- Tootie’s glow-up gets props, and Christina reveals she attended her mom’s acting school.
Early running joke: Joe’s total lack of podcast listening (“I don’t listen to any podcasts.” - 04:33, Joe DeRosa).

Collecting: From Video Games to Records to Judgement

[05:06-09:11]

Joe describes his passion for collecting vintage video games, records, and horror movies.
- He name-drops YouTubers: Metal Jesus Rocks, Pat Contre, and Dead Pit Radio.
- Collectible economics: “Some of the most valuable video games are terrible games. Nobody bought them…now they’re rare and valuable.” (07:13, Joe)
- Christina silently (not so silently) judges: “This guy’s a fucking loser dork shithead.”
- They realize: collecting is “super gay,” but they both do it (‘I’m convinced what I like is cool, and what everyone else likes is not’ - 08:45, Christina).

The Pot Debate: Culture, Annoyance, and Double Standards

[09:20-13:00]

Both agree: They hate weed, but not weed smokers.
- “I loved weed back then. Weed was called schwag…not that potent. Now it’s too potent, it’s like dirt.” (10:00, Joe)
- Joe’s main beef: the normalization of weed, and treating it differently from alcohol.
  - “If I was about to drive you somewhere and I go, hold on, let me take a quick shot…” (11:26, Joe)
Christina drinks daily post-5pm to cope with kids' endless talking (“all they do is talk...7 and 10 is just listening to motherfuckers talk” - 13:08, Christina).
Parenting digression: tuning out with alcohol is acceptable, kids’ obsessions (Minecraft, Roblox), and how meditation is essential for her sanity.

Meditation and Mantras

[14:32-15:40]

Christina meditates for two hours after sending the kids to school (“I talk to the aliens...I get real weird, man” - 14:42, Christina).
Both discuss mantras—Joe invents his own acronym as a mantra.
- “I don’t need some fucking guy to give me a fake word.” (15:17, Joe)

Retro Vibes and Listener Submissions

[16:07-24:06]

Music discussion sparked by listener’s police-academy-style saxophone intro. Joe used to play sax (“I played saxophone for 5 years—hated every second, switched to drums” - 25:05, Joe).
Christine and Joe debate what kind of chips are most soothing, relating it to odd podcast sound bites.

Drugs, Mental Illness, and American Malaise

[27:47-39:04]

Christina shows Joe a wild church-prank video: is the star mentally ill, or just on drugs?
Joe’s take: pandemic fallout, collective PTSD, unaffordable healthcare, drugs gone bad (fentanyl, “mushroom soda,” ketamine), America’s undiagnosed existential crisis.
- “People can barely self-medicate. The only readily available drugs are weed that will send you into a psychotic spin after one hit.” (29:44, Joe)
“It was our own Iraq War. There was no exit strategy.” (31:22, Joe, on Covid).

The Vile and Horrendous Podcast—A New YMH Show

[39:04-42:45]

Joe gives an in-depth preview for his upcoming podcast:
- 4-segment structure focusing on everything disgusting, vile, and worthy of complaint.
- Segments: 1) rant about recent personal annoyance, 2) unpopular opinion on entertainment, 3) off-the-cuff reactions to news headlines, 4) listener submissions about disgusting people/behaviors.
- “The whole gist of the entire show is: everything is disgusting. Society is over, we’re done. It’s the end.” (41:50, Joe)
- No guests, just Joe.
Christina: “At times you are the vile and the horrendous.” (42:47, Christine)

Confessions of Bad Behavior

[43:16-49:15]

Both share stories feeling guilty for being dicks in stressful moments (Joe at the airport, Christina in the ER).
- “I felt really bad...so I went back to the lady and…I was like, hey, I’m sorry. She almost started crying.” (44:11, Joe)
- “We’re all acting like pigs, because everybody’s acting like pigs.” (44:43, Joe)
- Christina calls a nurse a lesbian behind her back and feels immediate shame.

The Grinding Life of Touring Comics

[51:03-52:58]

Christina: staying off the road after cancer, focusing on home life and occasional select gigs.
Joe: “I’m two months away from homelessness at all times, and I do that [selective gigs].” (52:17, Joe)

Internet and Pop Culture Oddities

[53:09–65:07]

Curated TikTok/YouTube finds:
- “Neff and Unk” uncle-nephew duos with tight, hilarious chemistry.
- Food influencers (“I watch a lot of chefs…then I watch people that just eat shit in a weird way.” - 56:21, Joe)
- Bizarre sausage-eating TikToks (“then he sticks it up his ass” - 57:20, Joe).
- A woman who performs hair hangs (acrobatics/hair suspension), which disgusts and fascinates.
- Tourette’s tics: swearing and shouting “Hitler” (62:06); discussion of how the mind obsesses over forbidden words.

Culture, Capitalism & Fast Food Aesthetics

[65:07–70:39]

Home Alone house is for sale—discussion on WASPy John Hughes movies versus real-life struggles.
- “Of course you forgot your kid. You’re a bunch of rich people with your heads up your ass.” (67:05, Joe)
How modern aesthetics are draining color and joy from everything: “Everything is beige, black, gray, dystopian.” (68:36, Christine)
Laments the soulless redesign of McDonald's, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut (“It’s the saddest thing ever. It looks like a coffee house.” - 67:59, Joe).
