Ever had a night so chaotic it turned into your favorite story? We kick off with two Gremlin Stories that prove messy moments can rewrite your life. First up: a listener’s karaoke-fueled meet-cute that starts with couch naps and neighbor complaints and ends as a wedding dance to Don’t Stop Believin’. It’s goofy, tender, and exactly the kind of imperfect joy that keeps us singing along. Then we pivot to a high-anxiety misread: a loud crash, moans in the hallway, a barricaded bedroom, and a roommate who actually needed help. It’s funny and sobering enough to remind us how panic short-circuits our logic.

From there, we jump to Gremlin Gossip with an anonymous confession: sleeping with the boss. No cheating, no secret families—just a complicated age gap, workplace dynamics, and the reality that HR nightmares live next door to genuine connection. We talk boundaries, consent, and why nuance matters when real people and real jobs are involved. Finally, we explore the oddly universal klepto itch: the tiny lift from a big-box store, the ramekin that somehow makes it into a to-go bag, the taco stand shaped like a W that you absolutely do not need. We unpack the thrill, the embarrassment, and the quiet rules people invent to justify their behavior, and how most of us grow out of it once the risk feels heavier than the laugh.

We also set the record straight on two segments. Gremlin Guidance is where we offer options and scripts to solve your problem. WWGD, What Would Gremily Do is where you send a scenario and we tell you exactly what we personally would do. Clear lanes, cleaner advice, way more fun. Stick around for updates on upcoming guests and how we’re wrangling the chaos into something that works week after week.
