“MY DAD HAD A SECRET”

Lyle Drescher
About this episode

We hear first from a caller whose girlfriend has been sadistically shoving various items up his ass including candy, crackers, and cactuses. Then a caller tells us about the secret his father kept from his family for their entire life before revealing it on his deathbed.

Later we hear from a caller who recently gathered evidence that her grandmother may have murdered her grandfather, and a caller who has fallen madly in love with an AI chatbot called Replika.

It’s a kind of intense episode on many emotional angles and one of my favorites in recent times. But it’s also my podcast so that makes me a little bias. You should listen anyway. Sometimes I wonder if people even read these descriptions. I am a gecko.
