This Mayor Exposed Himself... Literally

My Teenager Has Notes 🫠

What happens when your co-host is out for the week and you replace her with your teenage son? Chaos. This week, Corban joins the podcast to answer questions, share his thoughts on growing up and most importantly, roast Mel for the entire episode. From her terrible driving and questionable parking skills to the beta fish cover-up she's been hiding for years, nothing is off limits. We also talk about parenting, teenage life, Goodwill Bin Store madness, and why strict parents might be setting their kids up for failure. If you've ever been humbled by a teenager, this episode is for you. Fair warning: if you're a parent, this episode may cause emotional damage.

Hostile Toast Energy

This week on Small Town Shit, Mel and Jessie dive headfirst into the wildest neighborhood complaint stories the internet has to offer and somehow end up discussing haunted Airbnbs, HOA conspiracies, Disney Solitaire addictions, office fish wars, and whether kids laughing is now considered a public disturbance. From neighbors measuring grass with rulers to a roommate documenting “hostile energy while making toast,” this episode proves that some people truly wake up looking for something to complain about. The girls also debate the horrors of HOAs, relive traumatic childhood stories (RIP Neopet), and uncover a possible ghost/demonic Airbnb situation in Austin that honestly deserves its own Netflix documentary. Also discussed: * The ice cream truck debate no one asked for * Why office microwaves should be federally regulated * HOA “psychological warfare” * A neighbor offended by children laughing * Murder mystery dinners at the Belvedere * Whether ghosts know all the town gossip * Why country living > HOA living * Mel’s future mayor campaign platform: abolish all HOAs If you’ve ever lived next to a Karen, been trapped in a Facebook complaint group, or just enjoy chaotic small-town energy… this episode is for you.

Buckets, Roofies & Running for Mayor- Live at Gatorfest Pt. 2

🐊 Live at Gatorfest Pt. 2 is here… and somehow even more chaotic than Part 1. Mel is back LIVE from Gatorfest in Claremore, Oklahoma. This time joined by Clay (aka Clayton), longtime Claremore resident, certified storyteller, and one of Jacob’s best friends. What starts as a normal festival interview quickly spirals into Buckets bar stories, near arrests, conspiracy theories, Honey Boo Boo debates, AI panic, and discussions about running for mayor. Honestly? This episode goes completely off the rails in the most small-town way possible. Topics include: * The legendary chaos of Buckets in Claremore * Mel’s alleged roofie experience 👀 * Why Clay got banned from an entire strip mall * Small town police, lake parties & teenage rebellion * Gatorfest culture and Claremore lore * AI data center drama in town * Honey Boo Boo discourse nobody asked for * Why Mel should run for mayor * The most unhinged live interview we’ve done so far ⚠️ Warning: This episode contains strong language, wild stories, and absolutely zero supervision. Next week: Jessie returns and we’re back to regular Small Town Shit programming. Follow & send us your best small town stories: Instagram: @smalltownshitpod

Live From Gatorfest: The Oklahoma Alligator That Started a Festival- Part 1

This week’s episode is a special one because Mel took the podcast LIVE to a real Oklahoma festival that started after someone found a literal alligator in Claremore Lake. What started as a random small town story somehow turned into a full-blown annual festival with live music, food trucks, geckos for sale, karaoke legends, conspiracy theories about the alligator, and one very famous dog contestant named Jace. In this episode: * The creators of Gatorfest explain how the festival started * The story behind the Claremore lake alligator * Why they believe the town shouldn’t have killed the gator * Small town festival chaos * Local music & karaoke culture * Buckets bar lore * Tim becoming an honorary third host of the podcast * One wildly inappropriate joke that somehow made the final cut PLUS: next week’s Part 2 interview may be the most chaotic interview we’ve ever recorded. If your town has ridiculous local lore, send it to us.
