the slime show

Today’s episode is a mix of real-life stress and online nonsense. My friend might not be able to watch my cats after saying she would, and on top of that, Discord has been… interesting, thanks to a certain international user. If you’ve ever dealt with flaky plans or weird internet moments, this one’s for you.

Today I go over my latest attempt to find a temporary home for my cats—and how things didn’t go exactly as planned. I break down the conversation, what I think it means, and where I go from here as I prepare for a big life transition.

Hello. In this episode, I just test out 2 new mini microphones that I bought off Amazon.

QUICK UPDATE!!!! I found a temporary home for my cats, Starshine and Sydney!!!!!!!!

Today’s episode is a mix of the simple and the serious. I go through my Walmart delivery grocery haul—what I got, why I chose it, and how I’m trying to stay grounded in the middle of everything.I also talk about what’s coming next: my plan to move into the Bridges housing program and what that transition could look like. The biggest piece right now is finding a temporary foster home for my cats before I can make that move, which has been weighing on me a lot.It’s a real-time snapshot of where I’m at—figuring things out, taking small steps, and trying to move forward even when it feels uncertain.

Just a quick check-in today. I’m feeling really tired and trying to figure out my next move—whether to go straight to the Bridges temporary housing program or take the longer route through Opportunity House.I also started writing a Craigslist and Nextdoor post to try and find a place for my cats, but I haven’t actually posted it yet.This episode is kind of a snapshot of where I’m at mentally right now—no big conclusions, just real life in progress.

I had an interview today that could change my life — a real chance at stability, housing, something better.There’s just one problem: I can’t bring my cats.In this episode, I talk about Starshine and Sydney, what they mean to me, and the impossible decision I’m facing — stay in an unstable situation to keep them, or let them go so I can move forward.I don’t have an answer yet. I just know I have to figure it out soon.

Today’s episode is part of Podcasthon, a global movement where podcasters highlight causes they care about.I’m talking about Buckelew Programs, a Northern California nonprofit that supports people facing mental health and addiction challenges.We’ll talk about why mental health matters, how small things like slime can help us slow down, and how you can support this amazing organization.buckelew.org

On the Ides of March, Bree checks in from home while hanging out with the cats and recording on a Blue Yeti USB Microphone. After two months of dieting and eating healthier, things are feeling noticeably better—both physically and mentally.This episode is a laid-back grocery haul and lifestyle update: smoothie experiments with a Hamilton Beach Personal Blender, fruit-heavy snacks (bananas, apples, oranges), frozen strawberries, frozen Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese cups. There’s also a mix of practical pantry items like Ben's Original Spanish-style rice, organic black beans, ramen, and deli-style tuna salad pouches.Bree talks about simple healthy eating habits, Walmart grocery delivery, smoothie routines, and the small changes that can make you feel better day to day. Plus, a quick life update—including a monthly contribution from dad and thoughts about Sweetgreen.A casual, real-life check-in about food, routines, and figuring out what works.

I will probably end up homeless soon and separated from my cats, Starshine and Sydney.

part 2 of talking about my current situation and why i'm scared and need help

Just talking a little bit about what's been going on. Stay tuned for more.

It’s been over a week since the last episode, so I’m easing back in—talking about the weather, eating healthier, and why I’ve started “burping” the air in my apartment every morning. Apparently this very normal thing has a name, is big on social media, and has been standard practice in Germany forever. I also go on a mini-rant about how candy recipes are quietly changing, thanks to an investigation by The New York Times. A relaxed catch-up episode about fresh air, stale air, and shrinking chocolate.

This episode is a low-key check-in.I talk about sleep, coffee, the cats, and whatever else happens to be on my mind — some life updates, some small observations, a little bit of everything. No big topic, no agenda. Just talking through the moment and letting things land where they land.If you’re listening while doing something else, or just need some background company, this one’s for that.

Bree is running on fumes after her cats decided that one nighttime feeding just wasn't enough—try FOUR. From the 9pm bedtime that seemed so responsible to the 5am wake-up call that broke her spirit, this episode is a deep dive into the reality of pet ownership that nobody warns you about.But it's not all chaos! Bree's also breaking in her new SE X1 A microphone (and yes, you can totally hear the difference), and sharing her brutally honest take on making cold instant coffee because sometimes survival trumps taste.If you've ever been woken up by a meowing terrorist or made coffee decisions you're not proud of, you'll feel seen.Perfect for listening while your own pets judge you.

Over the course of three days — January 28th, 29th, and 30th — I recorded bits and pieces without really knowing what they’d turn into.There was a shelter-in-place alert in Santa Rosa.There was confusion.There was a gas leak.And there was a brand new microphone sitting in front of me.This episode stitches together those clips as they happened — before I knew what was going on, while I was figuring it out, and after things finally made sense. A loose, unplanned audio journal of uncertainty, curiosity, and testing the sE X1 A while the world outside felt slightly off.

In today’s episode of The Slime Show, I talk about the absolute insanity happening in the food world right now — and what it says about us as a culture in 2026.We’re living through two completely contradictory food trends at the same time: fibermaxxing, where people are obsessively optimizing their gut health, and the rise of “swicy,” “swangy,” and “swavory” flavors, where corporations are putting hot honey and chili into everything, including breakfast cereal. We’re drinking prebiotic sodas for our microbiomes while eating spicy-sweet chaos because it’s fun — and somehow both things feel necessary.I get into TikTok wellness culture, Gen Z’s ironic sincerity, why everyone suddenly cares about fiber, how corporations are betting billions on gut health and flavor overload, and why doctors are warning people to slow down before fibermaxxing their way into digestive distress. We talk hot honey, portmanteau flavors, trend fatigue, and the weird anxiety that comes with trying to optimize your body while also just wanting to enjoy food.Ultimately, this is an episode about contradiction: caring deeply while pretending not to, gamifying wellness, turning eating into content, and trying to survive the moment we’re in. I don’t have answers — but I do have thoughts, coffee, sparkling water, cats, and a growing curiosity about hot honey cereal.

In this episode: Britney Spears' latest dance video and the double standards around aging women in the public eye, discovering the term "otrovert" and why some people are social but never quite sync up with groups, and microphone obsession when you're broke.

Happy Saturday! Bree (aka Slime) is back with Sydney on the bed and Starshine napping in the cat tree cubby. Today's episode covers dad's toilet phone disaster and his new Motorola Moto G Power, decluttering microphones for Craigslist cash, and getting ready to dive into Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.But the main story will keep you up at night: journalist and veteran Laura Jedeed attended an ICE recruitment expo as a reporter, deliberately didn't complete her paperwork, and somehow still received a final job offer and start date to become a deportation officer. What does this say about how ICE is vetting its 12,000 new hires? When an openly anti-ICE journalist can sail through the system, who else is getting badges and guns?Also covered: Denmark's mysterious red streetlights, the U.S. government obtaining a potential Havana Syndrome device, Neil Young's scathing take on ICE, why Delcy Rodríguez (not Gonzales) is now leading Venezuela, and why Bree's switching from ChatGPT to Claude AI.Pour yourself some Trader Joe's seltzer and settle in—this one's a wild ride through bureaucratic chaos, federal incompetence, and what happens when nobody's actually checking who we're arming and sending into American communities.

Today on the show: We dive deep into María Corina Machado handing her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump (is it pandering? manipulation? genuine support?), the constitutional implications, and what it means when foreign policy might be shaped by ego-stroking. Then we spiral about why humans express appreciation by violently slapping their hands together — seriously, who came up with clapping?Next up: the darkest Would You Rather ever. Would you want to know the DATE of your death or the CAUSE? I go back and forth about seventeen times and honestly still don't have a solid answer. Spoiler: both options are nightmare fuel.Also: I want another instant film camera (the Kodak Charmera is cute but not worth it), Greenland is apparently worth $700 billion, and the US is big mad about the EU's "cheese monopoly" in a new South America trade deal.It's chaos. It's existential dread. Let's go, Slimers.
