This episode has food mistakes like fingernails ripped out, hair eaten, roofing nails swallowed, even takeout containers consumed. Broken tools and food that won’t heat or get wet bleed into static bananas and political Tesla disputes. A couple floors get stepped on. Identity theft spreads through hotels and mirrors, while accounts close, tests fail, and glass exits cut things short. Pit Pigs (regular and electric) get brought with us, giving the show an extended end.This show is made possible by

2025/08/15

This CORNDOWN kicks off with basic skills missing. I can’t read, wasted can’t ride a bike, and it spirals into family silence and awkward callback requests. People lurk by windows, sometimes sipping coffee, sometimes plotting, while magnetic food keeps reappearing. There’s car insurance drama at a Denny’s, elevator bites, and windows breaking in normal revenge circumstances. Dumpster hiding gives way to surreal toilet power, more aggressive elevators, and a deep unease about Jeeps, complete with

This one feels like a crime scene slowly unraveling in a Denny’s. It starts with evidence bags piling up, with Fabian schemes in the background, and suspicious amounts of high numbers of teeth-related reports coming in. All I know is, Denny’s is at the heart of it all. Soups and slams getting mixed or unmixed, even zodiac signs somehow coming into play. Police trespass becomes a recurring issue, hinting at either botched investigations or an ongoing standoff between the police and

This set starts with sandwiches getting painted yellow. It moves into conflict inside the CD players, which probably shouldn’t cause that much tension unless the employee is flirting. Then sandwiches take over. There’s a lot of confusion: who’s touching them, whose sandwich it even is, whether they’re being shared, stolen, burned, or just sat on. Fries and soda catch fire too. The vibe is paranoia and possibly arson. Squirrels show up with violent intent, with unexpected

2025/07/25

This CORNDOWN spins out of control fast, starting with employees being used,possibly emotionally or logistically. That spirals into apple smoking, which feels both literal and like a stand-in for some deeper, metaphorical meaning. But it’s just an apple. There’s tension with police, as usual, something about raspberries being missing, and a whole subplot around someone named Jessica and her Arby’s. Chairs are being moved like they’re forbidden. As things crack further, you

This CORNDOWN follows a steady escalation of penny-based activity. Tossing, spreading, dropping them in lobbies, even turning them into some kind of mortar or protest or something. There’s also a lot of poor employee driving, repeated and increasingly dramatic, including crashes or wild maneuvering. Meanwhile, there’s gum in my son’s fries, sketchy food combos, and someone handing out slips of paper like they’re evidence. Then ButtEye tries for a fake romantic setup, and

A strangely intimate look at breakfast and violence—sometimes at the same time. We start with a couple rounds of Ice Cream b/w Violence, bounce through some hotel knob evaluations and best room competitions, and land in a series of escalating calls for just breakfast that spiral into close-quarters smoking and theoretical violence. Blankets and towels get mixed up with paper-based aggression, and wuppy demands breakfast with increasing urgency. Repeated shocks—from outlets and ice cream alike—lead

This one drifts from smoky basements to crumbling online identities. We kick things off with turkey bacon, home smokers, and a lot of weird cigarette gas complaints—some of which seem to involve store employees just absolutely refusing to acknowledge reality. wastedmemory digs into forgotten MySpace alternatives while snappy bakes insists on the existence of “vanilla mothballs.” We spiral into mothball hell before resurfacing for stories about white circles, questionable plumbing, and

This episode flies all over the place—literally. It opens with sleep tracking and mileage disputes, then dives into an ongoing saga about birds: healthy ones, loose ones, and whether or not they’re part of some larger plan. I take the lead on the bird logistics, while wastedmemory ends up dealing with weird “Do Not Disturb” violations, and there’s an uncomfortable amount of grapefruit talk. Gunnerman Bill pitches a dog to a restaurant, wuppy brings in a cremated pet, and

On this one, wuppy fills in for wastedmemory and really leans into some strange hospital logic and bee management techniques. I try to keep things on track with some fast food arguments and a few misunderstandings about who’s dead and what it costs. The whole show kind of spirals around leeches, bacteria, and whether or not it’s ok to be a hospital. ButtEye checks in with some breakroom vibes, bhenchodester keeps ordering the wrong size fries, and we all end up back at the hospital Arby’s

This episode of CORNDOWN has a lot of energy—starting head first and sliding straight into the recurring saga of accidental fatherhood and surprise bathroom births. Wastedmemory helps drive some extremely uncomfortable conversations, especially around sex, smell, and I do some religion accomodations. We argue a lot about whether you’re supposed to load tip up front, and things just kind of unravel from there: pens get borrowed, products get injuries, someone ends up naked in a car, and there’s

This one’s got no wastedmemory but a lot of shampoo—like, a suspicious number of cartons—and way too many people hiding in bushes or punching walls for it to be normal. I try to deal with someone in the bushes around the property, repeatedly damaging the room, and a very specific Arby’s situation. ButtEye gets sent straight to jail, snappy bakes gets into werewolves again, and wuppy deals with some kind of animal in a hotel room. There’s a broken nozzle, a vampire thing, some ironing issues, and a

This episode of CORNDOWN starts with some hotel stress—trying not to get attacked, yelling in the lobby, and a room that apparently needs preheating before use. Wastedmemory handles some strange guest behavior and a little confused rat, and I get into a whole thing about whether or not you can insure a hotel room. There’s a reoccurring towel issue that somehow spreads across multiple hotels, and we try to pin down how orange slices fit into any of it. Later, there’s talk of hotel adoption, a

This time on CORNDOWN I spend too long trying to sort out why my room key from six weeks ago won’t work, while wastedmemory gets into some turtle talk that might involve a stick. There’s confusion about sisters, someone says the hotel is in my bloodstream, and I try to make sense of whether it was consumed or not. Things get weirdly quiet, then too loud, and we argue about a burger that doesn’t sit right. Wuppy brings in some ancient ants and I sugest a timeline for burger freshness, and

This CORNDOWN starts out soaked in a hotel rain complaint that keeps circling back no matter what I try—wastedmemory jumps in to help, but it only spirals into confusion and strange accusations. There’s something going on with a number three situation that neither of us can explain, and by the time it hits number four, I’m already regretting bringing it up. A junior rat may or may not be involved. I get stuck in a conversation about shoes and rides, and later I try (and fail) to break up for the

On this CORNDOWN, I find myself caught in a cycle of discovering dead batteries. Wastedmemory helps escalate things by throwing in some battery ingestion and a genie lamp incident that doesn’t go well. There’s a lot of goop—chili, burger, and something from a grocery store. Calls drift into weird food behavior at fast food places, including employees eating on the job and bhen’s very normal chicken sandwiches. Wuppy and snappy bakes join me for some bathroom showing moments, and Lux gets

This CORNDOWN gets tangled in airport chaos and sticky situations, starting with me trying to explain a phone-based parking plan and somehow ending up in trouble over peanut butter. Wastedmemory jumps in repeatedly to back me up as the peanut butter gets scrutinized by police, government, and eventually even mail handlers. I get accused of solicitation and end up in some kind of peanut-related legal trouble. Things spiral into hotel calls where the rooms are unbearable and everyone’s getting told to

This CORNDOWN has me going to the hotel front desk with a new policy about strangulation that no one seems to want to enforce, even after I make a sign. Wastedmemory jumps in a bunch to help with a back-and-forth post it passing system between guests and employees. Bathroom candy happens a couple times, there’s talk of a dislocated room and some scissor lift confusion. Snappy and Hootis get into an ongoing terrible Uber mess, and wastedmemory closes things out with something about a murder that no

This batch is wild—gasoline barcodes, employee nipping, and taking entire rooms home. wastedmemory is deep in gasoline-related schemes, while bhenchodester tackles Dr Pepper malfunctions and pasta distribution. There’s also some serious concerns about staff harassment, secret codes, and questionable Uber usage. And of course, we’ve got Chickenmen and whatever “Good Like John” means. Definitely a chaotic energy in this set.This show is made possible by donations from listeners like

This one’s got a lot going on—credit card testing, mouth animals, and some serious sandwich violations. wastedmemory is deep in the mix with found credit cards, inside-out sandwiches, and verifying the spiciness of things. Meanwhile, snappy bakes investigates trash sandwiches, and ButtEye gets into fire damage and reagents. There’s also medicine dogs, ingrown toenails, and something big going down. Definitely a lot to unpack here.This show is made possible by donations from listeners like
