All Episodes

In this episode, I do a casual life catch-up: grocery delivery wins and fails, coffee, ramen n cheese, spoiled cats, Hell’s Kitchen, and what I’ve been watching lately.I also read and discuss an article about subtle signs someone may be struggling emotionally based on their living space, and share some personal thoughts along the way.Low-pressure, chatty, and real.

I talk about wearing a “leave me alone” sweatshirt that somehow invites conversation, struggling with webcam setups and being stuck using a very heavy laptop, and realizing I’ve been unintentionally misled by the internet (again).I also get into:- Watching TV out of order without realizing it - Finally starting a new season of a show- Doing laundry (a real accomplishment)- Ordering Oakcha perfume even though I don’t usually wear fragrance- Noticing protests happening locally and around the country- Thinking about health trends and new medications- Wanting tiny fake food from MGA’s MiniverseLow-stakes thoughts, pop culture confusion, and everyday observations.

Welcome to The Slime Show 🐌I’m Bree — also known as Slime — just hanging out, talking through my morning and easing into the day.In this episode, I ramble about:- Being up way too early (5:30am club, unfortunately)- Natural light vs. ring lights for recording- Cats, garbage day, and the neighbor’s dog not getting into the trash- An upcoming therapy appointment and not knowing what to talk about- My ridiculous laptop situation (yes, I have three)- String cheese eating habits (judge me)- Diet sodas, artificial sweeteners, and drink tier rankings- Hells Kitchen final three thoughtsThe video portion ends early — the audio-only podcast continues with indie music talk and recommendations.

In today’s episode of The Slime Show, I spend the first few minutes getting the tech to cooperate before talking about the unusually nice January weather and a midnight earthquake alert I slept right through.I share about going to a Women for Sobriety meeting where attendance was sparse, taking a nap, and dealing with the disappointment of my dad canceling on me yet again — and how family favoritism still hurts no matter how old you are.I also read and react to an article about behaviors from the 1990s that were once socially acceptable but wouldn’t stand a chance today.A quiet day, a lot of thoughts, and some very honest reflection.

Welcome to The Slime Show 🐌In today’s episode, I start off just hanging out and talking about life — my friend Sen wanting to adopt a cat, my glasses fogging up again, how it’s weirdly hot for January, and hoping my dad doesn’t bail on our plans tomorrow.Then things spiral (as they do).We get into:☕ The surprising drink Brits loved before tea (yes, it was coffee)🧀 Why orange cheese is basically a centuries-old marketing gimmick🌍 Why Trump wants Greenland — national security, missile defense, and… PRECIOUS METALS. ME PRECIOUS GOLD AND TITANIUM.It’s history, culture, current events, and random thoughts — no script, no polish, just vibes.Thanks for watching / listening 💚If you like laid-back chaos and weird facts, you’re in the right place.

Today I checked my Goodpods rankings and somehow landed at #1 in the Indie Entertainment News weekly chart. Still processing that — but I’m not letting it go to my head. I’m still just doing my own thing.I talk about the strange category I keep ranking in, even though I haven’t really talked about entertainment news in a while. Sometimes it’s news, sometimes science, sometimes just life — and I’m not trying to turn into the next TMZ.I also talk about the weather warming up, ordering new glasses, and adding a batch of older Slime Show episodes from July 2025 — when I think I sounded a little more confident.Later, I read and react to articles about a new MTV Simulator website that recreates classic MTV from different decades, and I reminisce about 90s and early 2000s MTV — The Real World, Road Rules, and Spring Break concerts.Just hanging out. No hype. No act.

In today’s episode of The Slime Show, I record the first-ever video segment of the podcast and just hang out, talk life, and check in with the cats on a rainy day.I start things off with some exciting news: The Slime Show is officially ranking on Goodpods, including breaking into the Top 10 Personal Journals weekly chart. Thank you to everyone listening and supporting the show.From there, it’s a classic Slime Show stream-of-consciousness episode — cats lounging around the room, being tired after 10 hours of sleep, a sore tongue, candy snacks, and random everyday thoughts. I also talk about Netflix cracking down on account sharing and why my dad won’t let me use his account.After the video portion ends, the audio-only part of the episode continues with music, politics, and current events. I play and talk about “When I Get My Hands On You” by The New Basement Tapes, a song originally written by Bob Dylan during the 1967 Basement Tapes era.I also talk about going down a mini rabbit hole watching old Barack Obama videos, talk about him being such a powerful speaker, and reflect on how different leadership felt during that time.To wrap things up, I react to a local article claiming Santa Rosa is the safest city in California, share why I’m skeptical of the ranking, and then dive into international news — including the situation in Venezuela, U.S. imperialism in the Western Hemisphere, and a New York Times article discussing Trump’s comments on Venezuela, Colombia, and the so-called “Donroe Doctrine.”As always, this episode is part personal journal, part media commentary, and part just hanging out.🎧 Listen to the full episode at theslimeshow.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

In today’s episode of The Slime Show, I’m testing out a new microphone — the Blue Ember — which I picked up for $35 on Amazon and just arrived today. It’s been raining on and off here the past few days, and I woke up with a headache that I think might be weather-related.I talk about hanging out with my Dad on Thursday, January 1st, where we went for a drive, he gave me my Christmas present (a stuffed frog), and some money to buy clothes. I also play a short clip from when we were in the car together.I share some thoughts about feeling like my recent podcast episodes have been a little boring, sleeping a lot lately, doing laundry (and possibly using too much detergent), and figuring out groceries with what I currently have on hand. I also talk about wanting to start making YouTube videos again and picking up a webcam, ring light, and tripod.Just a relaxed, everyday check-in episode.

In this episode of The Slime Show, I’m just hanging out at home with the cats on a rainy day. It’s been cool, gloomy weather lately, and it looks like the rain isn’t stopping anytime soon.I talk about heading out to pick up my medications, getting my monthly Abilify injection, taking an Uber, and breaking one of my usual routines when I got home. From there, I dive into today’s recording setup — the full Audio-Technica bundle experience — including the AT2005USB microphone (running XLR into a Vocaster One), ATH-M20x headphones, and recording in Audacity on EndeavourOS Linux.I also do a microphone shootout between three handheld dynamics: the Audio-Technica AT2005USB, Samson Q2U, and Fifine Tank 2. I play clips from each mic multiple times and share my own impressions, feedback from people on Discord, and ChatGPT’s surprisingly detailed take — including why the AT2005USB ended up being the best match for my voice, even compared to a fake Shure MV7.I talk about what I’ve been watching lately, including Undercover Boss and Dragons’ Den, and go down a small rabbit hole about acupuncture seeds (auriculotherapy) after seeing them pitched on the show.To wrap things up, I read and talk about 5 of the most popular Google Nano Banana prompts users loved in 2025.Low-key, rainy-day vibes, mic talk, and just thinking out loud — thanks for listening.

In this episode of The Slime Show podcast, I’m just hanging out and checking in. I talk about being really tired lately, possibly from the weather or sleep issues, and recording from bed with the cats — Starshine and Sydney — keeping me company.I get into some microphone and audio gear talk, including switching boom arms, using the Behringer C2 again, pop filters vs windscreens, capsule sizes, and testing out some older mics I own. I also talk about watching Undercover Boss, Dragons’ Den, and my thoughts on Peavey after seeing their episode.Nothing big is happening — no New Year’s plans, no big announcements — just a low-key episode about audio, TV, and hanging out.

In this episode, I test out and talk about the Behringer C2 microphone, a pair I was lucky enough to get for free earlier this summer. I mess around with a very DIY setup—using a Shure MV7 windscreen held on with a rubber band, plus a pop filter—to see how it sounds and feels in real use. I also had to wrap a sock around it to fit it in the mic clip.Along the way, I talk about hanging out with my dad and going for a drive, and I also get into a brief itch scare after my friend came over with his dog. The itching went away, but just to be safe I treated the cats, swapped out blankets and sheets, showered, and vacuumed the house.A relaxed, stream-of-consciousness episode about mic testing, everyday moments, and taking care of things as they come.

This episode is kind of all over the place — in the best way.I start off by talking about a Christmas episode I ended up deleting, where I opened up about not seeing my dad on Christmas and some ongoing frustrations around our relationship, all while waiting for my friends to show up. Also, I’m pretty sure I saw a squirrel running around with either a frog in its mouth… or maybe just leaves.After pausing the recording to hang out with my friends, I come back feeling awkward, nervous, and way too in my own head, talking about how bad I am at socializing and how tense I felt the whole time.From there, I spiral into microphone talk — debating between the Sennheiser Profile USB and the Sennheiser MK4, including a clip of me using the MK4 at the Santa Rosa Central Library over the summer. Then things get important: my cats have what I can only describe as staple-remover teeth, which leads to what is obviously a billion-dollar product idea — a cat-shaped staple remover where the teeth are the remover.I also talk about binge-watching Undercover Boss on the SoReal YouTube channel over Christmas, specifically the Oriental Trading Company episode. We get into the infamous voice-directed warehouse system “Jennifer,” how terrifyingly fast it talks, how it magically knew a product was damaged, and why the show clearly edited it to make the AI look smarter than it really is. Spoiler: a human probably said “damaged,” but that’s not as good for TV.Between the strict “don’t touch the sports drinks” rule, a wildly out-of-touch CEO, a 25-cent raise presented like a miracle, and the company’s eventual bankruptcy, this episode might have done more harm than good to their image.And finally, I wrap things up by questioning my dad’s snack recommendations — specifically why Sargento parmesan and oregano crackers are nowhere near as cheesy as I was promised.It’s awkward, observant, a little bitter, and unintentionally funny — basically just my brain, recorded.

It’s Christmas Eve, it’s raining hard, and I’m just hanging out.On today’s cozy holiday episode of The Slime Show, I talk about unusually warm December weather, hanging out with my dad and running errands, buying an unreasonable amount of Boursin cheese, and why the McDonald’s ice cream machine is broken in every country on Earth.I also talk about a YouTube travel vlogger who flew to India and Pakistan just to compare McDonald’s, mourn the quiet death of MTV’s music channels, react to Del Taco being sold for shockingly cheap, and discuss humanoid robots being deployed for border patrol (which is… unsettling).Plus: cat updates, Christmas vibes, car audio clips, nostalgia for old tech, and a general sense of “what is happening right now?”No episode tomorrow, so this is my holiday send-off.Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and thanks for listening 💚

today’s been slow. the handymen were back on the front deck, the mailman showed up way late, and i napped through most of the day — despite being convinced i might have sleep apnea. i recorded myself sleeping and honestly? i regret it. i sound like a large animal. possibly a boar. possibly an elephant.i talk about being embarrassed by my snoring, hanging out with my dad before christmas, a friend who wants to visit with a service dog (my cats have opinions), and a small logo tweak i made.also in this episode: report of the week’s shortwave radio show, choosing invisibility as my superpower, anthony fantano’s top 50 list (and the only two songs i actually liked), why i prefer solitude, russian-labeled snickers showing up in the uk, trump talking about greenland, regional american food classics, and the rediscovery of UNIX v4.low energy, mildly horrified, but fully present.

The Bay Area braces for the heaviest rain yet as I do what any responsible adult would do: finally take a shower, eat extremely spicy chips, and blame my digestive system on cream cheese & onion Ritz Crisp Thins.We talk flood watches, hot snacks that lie about how spicy they are, and why sweetness somehow makes pain worse. I spiral into why I’m tired all the time (sleep apnea? blood sugar? vibes?), roast a “skilled” cold caller who absolutely was not skilled, and marvel at the fact that vinyl sales are higher than they’ve been since 1984.Plus: cats manipulating men through excessive meowing, Spotify allegedly being scraped into oblivion, and my new favorite way to listen to music — six alternative radio stations open at once, zero loyalty, maximum stimulation.I’m not listening to a station.I’m sampling the nation.

It’s a rainy Sunday episode of the slime show.Bree hangs out with a brand-new (fake) Shure MV7, takes a drive to Guerneville with her dad for Starbucks hot chocolate (rated an 8.5), and records car-ride audio using a Hollyland Lark M2 pulled straight out of the backpack.There’s a nostalgic dive into FM radio—sampling station IDs, remembering growing up with WHUD in the Hudson Valley, and reflecting on why radio still feels comforting. From there, the episode jumps to MTV Cribs nostalgia (including Redman’s legendary Staten Island duplex), travel vloggers who talk way too much, and why being lost in a foreign metro system is not “fun,” it’s pure fight-or-flight.Bree also reacts to Sally’s Apizza’s massive nationwide expansion plans, and breaks down New Haven–style apizza lore. The episode wraps up with tech nostalgia—MP3 players, wired headphones, Zunes, iPods—and a soft spot for opting out of modern streaming chaos.Low stakes, rainy vibes, food articles, radio static, and mild existential panic—just another Sunday on the slime show.

Welcome back to the slime show.I’m Bree — also known as Slime — and I’m just hanging out.We’re six days out and I still haven’t gotten my Dad a gift. I talk about weather-induced headaches, nonstop rain, suspiciously warm December temperatures, and the handymen rebuilding the front deck while I vacuum and do laundry like a productive adult.I’m also using a counterfeit Shure MV7 (yes, really), tweaking DSP through the Shure Motiv app via my phone because I use Linux, and overanalyzing how bright podcast microphones are supposed to sound.There’s a full grocery haul breakdown — Costco, Target, Trader Joe’s — including lemonade (my favorite drink), Olipop, multiple cheeses (Boursin, baby Swiss, black truffle cheddar), chocolate mousse cake, and a passionate defense of the Trader Joe’s lemon chicken & arugula salad (which I may like better without the chicken).We get into new headphones, backup earbuds, Podcasthon prep, charity picks, creative rust, and my very serious desire to abandon beds entirely in favor of a human-sized cat tree as housing.Low stakes. Too many thoughts. Same slime.Also discussed:– A metal-blasting Uber ride vs. my germophobia– Travel vloggers who don’t blend in– Kazakhstan looking incredible– Why the band Geese is… fine– And how Snoopy selling feels weird, even if it’s not newLow stakes. Too many thoughts. Same slime.

Santa Rosa shook — literally. This week, I felt a 4.9 earthquake just 4 miles away, followed by aftershocks, weather whiplash, and the unsettling realization that my bed is not as sturdy as I thought.From seismic activity to Dubai chocolate invading Dollar Tree, I break down how something that used to be “luxury imported” is now living next to cough drops for $1.25.We talk new podcast gear, why my Rode Podcaster is still undefeated, and why not every microphone bundle is built the same.Then things get weird.Denny’s has announced Sticky Kicks — $195 sneakers filled with REAL, JIGGLING SYRUP, complete with a clear window so everyone can watch your diabetes slosh while you walk. We unpack why these shoes are impractical, unnecessary, and somehow perfect.There’s also:A scientific study suggesting sniffing your own farts might boost brain power (which legally makes me a genius)The horrifying possibility that my therapist almost received a fart audio file via emailA man finding brand-new toys in a dumpster before ChristmasDiscovery of giant underground tunnels dug by prehistoric sloths built like forklifts with clawsAnd Reddit officially declaring KFC the worst chicken chain in America — while the rest of the world somehow gets gourmet bucketsIt’s earthquakes, ants, syrup, sloths, and one extremely questionable Voice Memo — all in one episode.You’ve been warned.

On today’s episode of The Slime Show, Bree (aka Slime) lounges with the cats, watches the clouds, and dives into the weekend’s wildest news. From Santacon chaos to beer-soaked Kris Kringles, to Snoopy taking over slow cookers and handbags, to a 1983 shoe salesman who’s basically a retail ninja—this episode has it all. Plus, quirky stories about Lay’s new “potato-flavored potato” chips, Steve Wozniak’s $2 bills, Midwestern phrases, and the fast-food hot chocolate showdown. Rested, caffeinated, and ready to talk nonsense—tune in for the absurdity you didn’t know you needed.

This is take .Not because the first two were bad — but because they were too powerful.In this episode, I unpack the pressure of being the greatest podcaster alive (heavy is the crown), why even legends get nervous talking alone in their rooms to no audience, and how I almost formed an opinion on an international conflict after Googling it for ten minutes while eating cheese.We cover:The danger of becoming emotionally invested in global politics without contextWhy the world does not need a podcaster in sweatpants saying “hear me out”Discovering a surprisingly great accountability YouTube channel (Civilians Uncut) and watching karma do its thingA completely unhinged Bay Area winery meltdown involving a mental health founder, a Tesla, and several terrible decisionsListening to De La Soul for the first time ever and realizing I might’ve misunderstood an entire genreMaking birthday drawings of Boston terriers for someone on Discord because the people demanded artAnd celebrating National Cocoa Day with a deep dive into cocoa history, global traditions, fun facts, frothy wooden whisks, and respecting the ancestors while burning your tongueNo sides taken.No hot takes deployed.The crown remains heavy — but today, it fits. ☕👑
