Seven wild gremlin stories take center stage in this jam-packed solo episode as Emily returns after a brief illness-related hiatus. Armed with a vodka gimlet and tales of drunken shenanigans, she dives into the most embarrassing, cringe-worthy, and occasionally vindictive moments shared by her listeners.
From Leslie's hilarious mix-up when she accused her boyfriend of cheating because she spotted lipstick on his collar (spoiler alert: it was her own), to an anonymous listener's perfectly timed sidewalk vomiting session that narrowly spared an Uber driver's car interior, each story captures that universal moment when alcohol transforms us into our gremlin selves.
The collection takes a juicy turn with what Emily enthusiastically calls her favorite type of submission, witnessing someone else's gremlin moment. This particular gem features a bride's cousin (and ex of the groom) having a complete meltdown at a bridal shower. Emily's unabashed delight in this secondhand embarrassment perfectly encapsulates why we love sharing these stories, there's comfort in knowing we're not alone in our most mortifying moments.
The episode rounds out with tales of drunken injuries, alcohol-induced honesty, and even a sober but decidedly gremlin act of revenge. Throughout it all, Emily offers her characteristic blend of judgment-free commentary and occasional enablement, reminding listeners that while she might not officially "condone" certain behaviors, she absolutely understands the impulse.
