Accents, Slang & the Line Between Funny and Offensive

Deb and Corey flirt with disaster, riffing on mimicking “broken English” and how fast a joke can go from killer to career-ending. They whip through slang whiplash… Gen X “talk to the hand” and “da bomb” vs. “it’s giving” and “rizz”, and the ever-moving line of what “slaps”. Then Corey swerves into the real stuff: grief, why he hoards the meaningful things, and rescuing dusty VHS memories before they’re gone for good. A chaotic round of “gift or curse,” a sharp take on intent vs. impact in edgy humor, and a quick plug before they dip and tee up what’s next.   Topics 00:00 Cocktail Banter Begins 00:57 Accents and Mirroring 03:29 Is That Racist? 09:15 Generational Word Shifts 12:02 Old Slang vs New Slang 15:45 TikTok Era Phrases 19:52 Fashion and Fancy Glassware 23:20 Talk Texting and Punctuation 26:51 Thank You Notes and Cards 31:42 Why We Hold On 32:49 Keep or Toss Memories 33:25 Saving Family VHS 34:23 Marketplace VCR Hack 35:16 Clutter vs Legacy 37:19 Chris Tosses Cards 38:17 Email Sign Off Debate 41:32 Gift Or Curse Game 45:35 Always Spotting Lies 48:15 Backhanded Compliments 51:15 Handling Microaggressions 58:48 Kids Tech And AI 01:03:15 Wrap Up And Where To Find

Caffeinated, Unfiltered and Mildly Feral

Deb and Corey recap a comedy show that ends in hecklers and blood, torch Facebook birthday fakery, and unpack the lifelong body issues your family casually installed. Throw in knife-toed husbands, a random culinary school flex, reverse-seared steak evangelism, and an aggressive apple crumble rant. It’s chaotic, honest, and slightly concerning, but in a fun way.

Boulevardiers, Weed Sodas & AI Lies

Deb and Corey throw back a Boulevardier and a dangerously strong Lawson’s beer while arguing weed sodas (root beer vs. Dr. Pepper) and why mixing booze and cannabis is a personality test no one passes. As usual, aging crashes in—perimenopause, rogue head injuries, and brains stuck on dial-up, before they turn on AI, calling out ChatGPT’s “hallucinations” and our habit of treating it like gospel (even as Corey uses it to manage his Luxardo cherry stash). They spiral into AI’s footprint, model smackdowns, and the chaos of aging and sex, then let Moth prompt cards drag them into motherhood and parenting gaps. Corey closes with a gnarly childhood story… trash duty, a storm door, and a sliced wrist.   Topics 00:00 Mic Check Chaos 00:26 Boulevardier Breakdown 01:56 Beer Reveal and Podcast Name 02:55 No Swearing for the Algorithm 03:45 Getting Older and Head Bonks 05:08 Weed Cola and Mixing Stories 08:55 ChatGPT Trust Issues 11:14 Luxardo Cherries Deep Dive 21:39 AI in School and Detection 24:28 Asking Chatty About Energy and Sex 29:05 Shoes Off and Faux vs Pho 30:17 Moth Stories Card Game Setup 31:21 What Is The Moth 32:04 ChatGPT Sex Roast 32:53 Story Game Prompts 34:23 Midnight Oil Nights 37:22 Mama Rules Reflections 45:53 Trash Night Horror 49:54 Basement Fears And Lurkers 53:48 Underwear Thief Debate

Bahama Mamas, Steak Temperature &, Politics You Can’t Escape

Debbie and Corey make Bahama Mamas, debating the drink’s dangerously sweet “secret” (cream of coconut), plus virgin vs “shmedium” versions, fries, and candy arsenic concerns. The conversation veers into how they like steak (well done vs medium rare), vegan food being processed, and the need for balance and self-preservation. They talk live music excitement (Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos), concert memories, and double standards in how lyrics and performers are judged, including discussion of a Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny and an alternate “All-American Halftime Show.” They reflect on political polarization, outrage, moral lines, and media consumption, then pivot to the viral appeal of the gay hockey romance “Heated Rivalry,” masculinity, and blunt communication about sex, before wrapping with where to follow the podcast.   Topics 00:00 Bahama Mama Breakdown 00:55 Virgin vs Shmedium 01:31 Schmedium Life Hacks 02:42 Steak Doneness Debate 07:40 Vegan Cheese Reality 09:56 Arsenic Candy Panic 12:54 Nine Inch Nails Hype 17:11 Concerts and Tailgates 24:29 Halftime Show Politics 32:47 Choosing Sides Fatigue 36:27 Clearing Up The Context 37:26 Why People Miss The Controversy 38:42 Self Preservation Online 40:24 Fake Outrage And Moral Lines 43:52 Curating Your Circle 50:03 Nuance And The Immigration Debate 53:16 Sports Spotlight And Activism 54:34 Heated Rivalry Deep Dive 56:41 Toxic Masculinity And What’s Hot 01:01:57 Bi Curious Advice And Leaning In 01:09:29 Cruise Ship Perspective On Joy 01:11:26 LGBTQIA+ And Wrap Up

Kicking It With New Co-Host Corey Rodrigues

Debbie welcomes Boston comic Corey Rodrigues as the new co-host of “Pour Me a Story,” kicking off with drinks (the “Cherry Ghost”) and a frank debate about Valentine’s Day as a pressured, Hallmark-style holiday versus everyday appreciation. They share gift and experience stories (Nine Inch Nails tickets, Dutch oven) and discuss aging, menopause/perimenopause, health advocacy, and why many men—especially men of color—avoid doctors, while Corey describes getting screenings and even colonics. They swap personal moments about grief, body changes, massage comfort, weight loss, and bladder leaks from laughing, then plug the show’s social accounts and tease future guests.   Topics 00:00 Cold Open Chaos & New Co-Host Reveal (Deb + Corey) 01:00 Cheers to the 'Cherry Ghost' Cocktail 01:29 Do We Hate Valentine’s Day?
