SpaceGodzilla, a New Desk, and Too Many Websites
Bree checks in after a little break from the podcast to talk about the September heat, scoring a Chococat SpaceGodzilla Happy Meal toy on the first try, and her exciting new technological advancement: a desk. There’s just one problem—the chair hasn’t arrived yet, so she’s recording this episode while kneeling.Also: hanging out with Dad, the return of IQBARs, running way too many websites, database bills, and the possibility that Bree’s tiny internet empire may have gotten slightly out of hand.

Frozen Pizza, $82 Million Podcasters & Other Weird News
Frozen pizza might actually be better than delivery pizza. Apparently, some people are willing to die on that hill.In this episode of Bree's World, I talk about why frozen pizza is having a moment, the absolutely insane amount of money some of the world's biggest podcasters are making, and Apple's controversial billboard featuring a toddler with an iPhone.Plus, we get into some truly bizarre news, including two guys who parachuted off Seattle's Space Needle, someone who woke up a sleeping polar bear with a ship's horn, and one of the strangest baseball plays imaginable.Basically, it's another episode of me talking about whatever the hell I find interesting.Pizza. Podcasts. Apple. Polar bears. Baseball.What more could you possibly want?Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

We dive into a pleasant surprise: testing out an $18 Samson C01U Pro USB microphone that completely redeems the self-noise disaster of its predecessor, paired with a frankenstein setup using Melon Audio gear.From there, we break down US News' latest ranking of all 50 states (congrats Utah, tough luck Louisiana), talk SummerSlam and Danhausen fatigue, and wrap up with an ode to local radio station 97.7 The Krush (KRSH) and the narrative brilliance of The Decemberists.Station Shoutout: 97.7 The Krush (KRSH) keeping local radio alive.Tracks Featured: "Perfect Crime #2" and "Burial Ground."Musical Analysis: Colin Meloy’s novelist approach to songwriting, narrative-driven lyrics, and 70s baroque-pop/chamber-folk influences.Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

New Mic, Altoona Pizza, and Bagel Opinions
Today on the show: Bree catches "gear brain" and threatens to build a custom podcast microphone out of printer parts and pure hubris. Also on the dock: spilling a full cappuccino onto a carpet that luckily shares its exact hexadecimal color, the dark culinary mystery of Altoona-style pizza, why Pizza Hut is named like a landlord ran out of letters, and a deep-dive into the lost technology of Duracell PowerCheck batteries.Plus, the ultimate Bagel Doctrine (why whipped cream cheese is a victory of physics, and why toasting a good bagel is a crime), and a defense of the new Strokes album Reality Awaits despite Anthony Fantano's 3/10 review.Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

Mustard Secrets, $10 Regrets, and The War of the Bucket
Bree is fully caffeinated (thanks to Mt. Hagen instant coffee and a $10 Whole Foods delivery fee she’s trying not to think about) and back for episode two. Join her as she brutally reviews a 3/10 veggie snack, reveals her long-held secret mac and cheese ingredient, pitches a truffle-fueled culinary vision, and dives into Historical Delirium to tell the absurd, true story of a medieval Italian war fought over a single wooden bucket.Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

The False Alarm Cat Trauma
A false alarm, a missed note, and two highly disgruntled cats.On today’s episode, Bree breaks down the absolute saga of preparing for the carpet cleaners, only to discover a last-minute schedule change. After carefully plotting a strategy to secure the cats, things quickly go off the rails. From Starshine’s mid-range distress meows triggering a tactical retreat to Sydney hiding under the bed—and leaving Bree with a battle scar in the process—it was a full-blown feline fiasco.Tune in to hear the breakdown of the great crate wrangle of 2026, and the looming realization that the entire operation has to be repeated this Wednesday.Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

blinded by the mic
In today's episode of the podcast, I'm hanging out with my Audio-Technica AT2005USB, one of the most underrated podcast microphones ever made. I talk about how I picked it up in an incredible bundle deal that included ATH-M20x headphones and a boom arm for around $60, why I think the AT2005USB has stood the test of time, and how it became one of the original USB/XLR hybrid microphones long before they became popular.Then we get to the real story: the absolutely ridiculous blue power LED. Why do so many USB microphones feel the need to include indicator lights bright enough to guide ships through a storm? The AT2005USB isn't alone—the Blue Yeti and even the tiny Saramonic Air SE have LEDs that could probably be seen from orbit.Also in this episode: the weather, random thoughts, and me wondering who keeps approving these miniature suns disguised as power lights.If you've ever put electrical tape over an LED, this episode is for you. 🎙️Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

A Quiet Saturday Afternoon with the Cats
In today's second episode, I turn on my original Blue Yeti microphone just for the fun of it and spend some time catching up about whatever is on my mind. I talk about picking up a Mackie EM-USB microphone on eBay for under $30, why I'm leaning back toward USB microphones, my latest grocery delivery (including some disappointing potstickers and surprisingly good Tyson chicken strips), and relaxing at home with my cats, Starshine and Sydney.I also share that my dad and I are speaking again before diving into wrestling talk, including why Danhausen has become my favorite wrestler and my excitement for his upcoming No Disqualification Match against J.D. McDonough at Saturday Night's Main Event in Madison Square Garden. I wrap up with a few thoughts on the wrestling I've been watching lately and what's next on my watch list.Thanks for listening!Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

t-rex sold for $50m, grocery delivery, rescued pigeon....
In this episode, we bounce from multi-million dollar bets to nostalgic throwbacks and incredible rescues. We kick things off with a discussion on the massive $50+ million sale of a T-Rex dinosaur fossil. Did prediction markets like Polymarket or Kalshi miss the mark on this one, and is there a billionaire out there currently using a apex predator as a foyer centerpiece?Next, we break down the weekly grocery delivery haul before diving into three completely wild stories making headlines:The Mathematician Who Beat the Odds: The fascinating mystery of Joan R. Ginther, the Stanford statistics PhD who won the Texas Lottery four times, taking home over $20 million. Did she crack the algorithm, or is it just the ultimate streak of luck?A Tiny Miracle: The heartwarming, insane video of a fire crew going above and beyond to save a tiny pigeon using a miniature oxygen mask.The Y2K Camera Renaissance: Why the 2000s are calling, and why everyone suddenly wants their clunky, low-megapixel digital cameras back.Grab your groceries, unearth your old Digicam, and tune in!Leave a comment and share your thoughts: https://open.firstory.me/user/cmrbckylw03h201w67i5vatq6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

8 Plates of Food, Zero Coffee, and a History of the "Knocker-Upper"
Welcome back to Bree’s World — the show where I stay up all night for reasons that make zero sense and immediately turn it into content.Today, your sleep-deprived host Bree is running entirely on fumes, no caffeine, and pure spite. Why? Because her cat, Starshine, decided to run an all-night diner experience that resulted in eight separate, barely-touched plates of food on the kitchen floor.In this episode, we are diving deep into the absolute delirium of the morning-after:The 3 AM Screaming Match: Is your cat malfunctioning, or are they just a tactical genius? We look at the actual science behind overnight meowing, from "crepuscular" instincts and feline sundowning to how we accidentally turn ourselves into highly efficient furry vending machines.Historical Delirium: Before iPhones and cheap alarm clocks, how did the working class actually get out of bed? Enter the Knocker-Upper—a real, live historical profession where someone's entire job was hitting your window with a giant bamboo stick or a pea-shooter. We explore this chaotic industrial era routine and answer the ultimate paradox: Who wakes up the knocker-upper?Grab your coffee (unlike Bree) and let's get into it.Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and please, for the love of God, do not feed your cat at 2 AM.

Feed Me, Seymour: The Terrifying World of Carnivorous Botany
Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever you’ve got, and welcome back to Bree’s World.Today, we are diving deep into the world of botany that absolutely refused to play by the rules. First, we’re giving some well-deserved love to the 1986 practical-effects masterpiece Little Shop of Horrors. Then, we get into the real freaks of nature: the 700+ species of carnivorous plants that looked at regular soil, said "no thanks," and evolved a completely terrifying alternative strategy to survive. From the architectural scheme of the pitcher plant to the horrifying beauty of the sundew, it turns out plants are not just sitting there being decorative.Finally, we travel back to the 1800s to talk about orchidelirium—a period of Victorian history where wealthy collectors entirely lost their minds, hired ruthless "orchid kings," and committed literal plant crimes just for the vibes.In this episode:Why the 1986 Little Shop of Horrors movie cast absolutely understood the assignment.How pitcher plants turn insects into soup using nothing but gravity and a dream.The cutthroat, manipulative world of 19th-century orchid hunters.A brief existential thought on how to thrive when your environment isn't giving you what you need (metaphorically, please don't eat flies).Tune in, get comfortable, and remember: this is a judgment-free zone. Except for the Orchid King. Powered by Firstory Hosting

Photosynthesizing Shirts, Slime Molds, and the Great Emu War
Grab your coffee (or join Bree in running on 7 out of 8 cylinders) because we are diving deep into the wonderfully weird today. Bree corrects some crucial childhood snack history (spoiler: it was Airheads, not Laffy Taffy), contemplates whether she'll soon need hedge clippers to prune her wardrobe, and explores the bizarre, brainless intelligence of slime molds. Finally, we wrap up with a trip to 1932 for a breakdown of the time the Australian military officially surrendered to a flock of giant, tactical birds. Pet your cats, adjust your blanket situation, and get cozy—you are officially pampered. Powered by Firstory Hosting

Goose, 90s Snack Heartbreak, Gen Z Walkmans, and the Great Molasses Flood
Hey listeners, Bree here!Grab your beverage of choice (because I’m currently on day two of zero coffee and the caffeine withdrawal is real). Today, we’re hanging out, listening to the local goose songs, and diving into a chaotic mix of nostalgia, generational theft, and sticky historical disasters.In this episode, we talk about:Beloves 90's Snacks: We look back at 12 beloved treats we’re still mourning.Gen Z's New Obsession with Gen X Culture: From paying $70 for eBay Walkmans and rocking hair tinsel to buying flip phones for "wellness" and hanging out at the mall. Gen Z thinks they discovered physical media, and Gen X is just standing there watching the cycle repeat.Historical Delirium — The Great Molasses Flood of 1919: We travel back to Boston to dissect a disaster so ridiculous it sounds fake. Imagine being pursued down the street by a 25-foot wave of pancake syrup moving at 35 miles per hour. We break down the literal quicksand of "disaster syrup" and why Boston smelled like cookies for a decade.History is weird, snack companies are cruel, and Gen Z is currently fighting over squishy dumplings at Five Below.

Summer has officially arrived, but host Bree is keeping it at a respectful distance. Broadcasting from a perfectly mild day in Santa Rosa, Bree discusses a Walmart grocery haul (featuring a Discord-induced pudding craving and a first-time trial of LMNT electrolytes).Plus, a look at a wholesome moment of band synergy as Connecticut indie-jam icons Goose tip their hats to Brooklyn art-rockers Geese, and an honest confession about the slippery slope of becoming a stereotypical, chicken-tender-worshipping air fryer evangelist.

Capt. Lou Albano Commercials & the Star Trek Holodeck
On this Sunday, June 21st episode, Bree is hanging out and diving into a little bit of everything. We start with a nostalgic trip down memory lane to Mahopac, NY, tracking down hilarious vintage commercials and hotlines from hometown wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano.Then, we've got a fresh music recommendation with the track "Good2B" by Norwalk's own jam band, Goose, before diving into the latest pop culture and tech headlines. We're talking about Rosie O’Donnell stepping up to guest-host Jimmy Kimmel Live, a Bavarian startup trying to make sustainable "chocolate" out of sunflower seeds (but can it really beat real cacao?), and a mind-blowing holographic breakthrough from UCLA that is bringing us one step closer to a real-life Star Trek Holodeck.Pull up a chair and kick off the summer with us!

Dog, Burrito, Mr. Socko, AI...
Grab a plastic bag and buckle up. On today’s episode, I’m recapping a jam-packed day: the absolute worst vegetarian burrito I’ve ever eaten, a mile-and-a-half walk, and the realities of confronting weight loss and GLP-1 fears. We also take a trip down memory lane to the time Mankind proved he was the wholesome legend we always knew he was. Finally, we get into the heavy stuff: a cold shoulder from Gemini, the endless curse of the John Stamos clickbait algorithm, and a breakdown of why humanity has essentially "grown" an AI organism it doesn't fully understand.

Cat Filters, Ham Radio, and the Wildest Marathon in History
It turns out the internet didn't invent weirdos—it just gave them a screen. This week, we dive headfirst into the delightfully bizarre subculture of late-night ham radio operators, where the airwaves of the 75-Meter Band feel like an unmoderated 1970s Reddit forum broadcasted out of a garage. We also break down a DIY audio disaster involving cat water fountain filters, trace the unexpected wartime roots of Electro-Voice microphones, and recap the legendary chaos of the 1904 Olympic Marathon (featuring stray dogs, rotten apples, and literal rat poison). Plus, we close with a sober look at the current headlines, tracking Ukraine's massive drone strikes on Moscow's energy infrastructure and the brutal realities of Russian intelligence tactics.

Plus, we check in on the John Stamos takeover of her newsfeed, review the premiere of 100 Cooks, and ask the ultimate question: Has the Dubai Chocolate trend gone too far now that Pepsi has turned it into a soda? We wrap it all up with a nostalgic trip down memory lane looking at the bizarre sweet snacks of the 1970s and the childhood treats that were quietly banned.

Of Midcentury Libraries, Spy Turtles, and a Knicks Miracle

Late Night TV, Storks, AI Tomato Apocalypse...
Grab your coffee and a piece of chocolate, because host Bree is taking you on a wild ride through the delightfully absurd corners of history, tech, and the internet.In today’s episode, we kick things off with a brief, beautiful musical intermission featuring Sjowgren’s "Cool Over Kind" before diving headfirst into the great late-night debate. Is David Letterman truly the GOAT, or does Johnny Carson still hold the crown? Bree breaks down the subjective nature of late-night comedy and reminisces about the golden era of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (circa 2000).Then, it's time for your Weekly Dose of Historical Delirium, featuring a 19th-century British village that went to war with a flock of tax-evading storks. Plus, Bree tackles the ultimate waking nightmare: being forced to retake AP Chemistry in your late 30s.To wrap things up, we look at the chaos of the modern world—from the lawless wasteland of Facebook Marketplace (who is buying slightly used pizza?!), to a Swedish coffee shop AI that blew its entire budget on thousands of tomatoes, to the tech billionaires trying to sell us on a bleak, dystopian future of drinking recycled sweat on Mars.It’s a chaotic world, but at least we have an atmosphere.

Welcome back to Bree’s World! In today’s episode, Bree opens the show with the song "If You Leave" by by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, clears the palette with some B.B.

We’re also breaking down a disappointing, greasy trip to Sonic, the magic of lion’s mane mushroom bars, a massive childhood relapse into the world of pro wrestling (shoutout to Darby Allin and breaking tables), and why the Google News algorithm refuses to let Amy Schumer go.
