Ever woken up in a dog crate? Given your dad's number to random guys at a bar? Locked your partner out naked in a hotel hallway? Welcome to the world of "gremlin stories", those moments when our worst, most unfiltered selves take the wheel.

Though battling illness for this milestone 10th episode, I couldn't resist sharing these listener confessions that had me cackling despite my lack of energy. From the anonymous heartbroken listener who drunk-dialed her ex at 3 AM after discovering his engagement announcement, to a deliciously petty revenge at a bachelor party where she falsely claimed her ex had never satisfied her (cue the collective gasps). These stories remind us that sometimes our most embarrassing moments become our funniest memories.

The chaos continues with a post-Memorial Day festival confusion that led to sleeping in a storage place, a girl accidentally giving her father's phone number to persistent bar suitors, and a listener's full demon-mode emergence that resulted in her boyfriend seeking refuge in the hallway wearing nothing but his birthday suit. I even share my own gremlin moment from a cruise where I accidentally locked my boyfriend out of our cabin.

These stories connect us through shared vulnerability, the recognition that we all have moments where our inner gremlins break free. What embarrassing, cringe-worthy stories are you hiding?
