Episode 008: Happy Birthday, You're Being Kidnapped

EPISODE 008: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU'RE BEING KIDNAPPED This week on The Life of Leek Podcast, I'm asking an important question: if I repeatedly tell people that I'm being kidnapped by a white man and nobody calls the police, are we really friends? Before my surprise birthday adventure, I start with the Crash Out of the Week after getting locked out of my house because someone moved the spare key and then nearly getting scammed over pizza prices. From there, I recap my nephew's Catholic high school graduation, complete with spilled Celsius, overheated grandmothers, and family VIP ticket drama. I also discuss why my summer calendar is already completely booked, celebrate Pride Month, and explain why some straight men seem determined to live sad, cakeless, funky-ass lives. Plus, I reflect on reaching Episode 8 and officially outlasting my previous podcast, talk about friendship, loyalty, receipts (both literal and figurative), grifters, gaslighting, and why sometimes I envy the confidence of mediocre people. Then comes the main event: my friend surprises me with a mystery birthday trip to Baltimore that somehow involves an underground bar, an all-you-can-eat brunch, collard greens that passed the Black people test, and multiple moments where I became convinced I was being trafficked. Oh—and we also discuss China's panda rental program because apparently every episode needs a little international diplomacy. Grab a drink, keep your receipts, and enjoy the chaos.

Episode 007: A Tale of Fraudulent Heffas

This week on The Life of Leek Podcast, I’m diving DEEP into Summer House Season 10 — the chaos, the friendships, and the reunion drama. I break down Kyle & Amanda’s divorce and explain why I ultimately believe Amanda played a major role in the downfall of their marriage while Kyle carried the pressure of keeping both the household and Loverboy afloat. We also get into Kyle & Carl’s complicated friendship, including the emotional fallout over Carl’s brother’s death anniversary, the Loverboy tension, and why Carl seems emotionally dependent on the people around him. Plus, I recap Part 1 of the reunion: • Amanda & Wes’s suspicious joint statement • The cast group FaceTime drama • What really happened on reunion day • Ciara finally snapping on Amanda • And why I think West is a calculated social climber who picked the wrong side This episode is messy, opinionated, dramatic, and VERY honest. #SummerHouse #BravoTV #RealityTV #TheLifeOfLeekPodcast

Episode 006: If U Can’t Feed The Baby, Then Don’t Have The Baby

The Life of Leek Podcast — Episode 6: If U Can't Feed The Baby, Then Don't Have The Baby!!! After disappearing for a minute, Leek is finally back behind the mic with another chaotic catch-up session. From realizing working from home is NOT the vibe, to trying out a new recording location because the bed keeps winning every time, this episode is full of random thoughts, hilarious commentary, and pure unfiltered energy. I share a conversationI had with my dad after he told me he wants me to become a single father — and why I had to shut that idea down REAL quick. Internet chaos, and the state of people in 2026. Life has been lifin'… but the podcast is BACK. 😭🎙️

Episode 005: America Runs on Drug Fronts & Bad Decisions

Episode 5 is CHAOS in its purest form. We start off spiraling (as usual) — from world events to Housewives premieres — before diving headfirst into everything that’s been rotting my brain this week. We’re talking: • Real Housewives updates (Atlanta is BACK, Jersey returns, Rhode Island is messy already) • Why I am officially at war with short men • The 2026 “early 2000s nostalgia” that collapsed in real time • TikTok rabbit holes that made me lose faith in humanity • Why people are literally creating their own relationship problems • My theory that half of America’s businesses are actually drug fronts (and I stand by it) • Why being broke in college used to hit different • Airbnb hosts losing their minds — and why I do NOT feel bad Then we get into the main event… Amanda. Wes. Ciara. The mess. Because how do you fumble public support after a divorce THAT badly? We’re unpacking the betrayal, the weird timing, the racial undertones, and why some people are just… not good friends. Also: • A Chicago Bulls player learns actions have consequences • The Hannah Montana reunion disappoints me deeply • And yes — I’m still holding grudges from middle school. Forever. This episode is unfiltered, a little unhinged, and probably my most honest one yet. Press play. You’ve been warned.

Episode 004: Don’t Touch My French Toast.

We’re starting off strong with a story that still has me heated: a coworker, my breakfast, and zero utensils in sight. From there it spirals (as it should). I get into doomsday prep TikTok, why I don’t actually want to survive an apocalypse, and recap one of the most overbooked weekends of my life. We unpack a viral prison pregnancy story that sounds like pure fiction, talk Harry Potter reboot concerns, and call out the Duggars (again… because it never ends). Also: defending Jack Harlow, side-eyeing Chappell Roan, draft rumors, and pitching better Summer House locations. Reality TV breakdowns include: Jesse’s nonsense, Ciara deserved better, Kyle being… Kyle, and my honest thoughts on Karen Huger, Wendy, and the state of Potomac. And yes — we have to talk about that Traitors finale.
