Psycho for Postpartum Life, The Gleeboot, Nathan Fielder's Glow-Up, and Liberty Bibberty
Season 4, Episode 1
Show notes
Good morning psychos and welcome to season four! The psychos are back with hot takes on cover postpartum life, the "trifecta of depressions", and why you can't think Nathan Fielder is hot unless you've seen The Rehearsal. Politely. One psycho confesses she never watched Glee or Girls, and the theater kid in the room is bitter about the Glee reboot. They also look into a possible conspiracy that Progressive is quietly phasing out Flo (blasphemy), while the first Psycho of the Week is Liberty Bibberty, the yellow ball the whole internet hates. Plus, they revisit Wicker and the concept of being basket-sexual, and why any movie over two hours is disrespectful. There are also Halloween plans, including a very questionable sexy Bibberty costume. The psychos promise mental stability for the rest of the season, which may be a lie.

Psycho for the Sydney Sweeney Ad, Nepo Friends, Earle Meets World, and Trinity Rodman
Show notes
Happy Baldness Appeciation Day - said no one ever! The psychos kick off this episode with full-blown rant about why men keep getting special treatment, why mugshot heights are the ultimate public humiliation, and why nobody should trust a batched drink at the US Open. Then, we've all seen the Sydney Sweeney ad, so get the psychos' take on why it works so well while still feeling deeply off.
This episode also brings the sports updates, the reality TV context, and the kind of hyper-specific celebrity commentary that makes the whole episode feel like a group chat you wish you were in. Of course they keep it grounded with therapy-brained logic, calling out power, image, and the weird ways people avoid accountability.
Plus, Trinity Rodman is Psycho of the Week for differentiating herself from her father and creating her own identity in spite of some pretty severe attachment wounds.

Psycho for UFO's, Child Star Trauma, Clavicular vs. AOC, and Nicole Kidman in a Wig
Season 3, Episode 9
Show notes
In this episode, the psychos do what they do best: spiral, laugh, and somehow make a full emotional detour from a possible UFO sighting to celebrity scandals, men’s body image, and the eternal mystery of whether the average man is just repressed, confused, or secretly gay.
What starts as a chaotic catch-up quickly turns into a roast of period trackers, family beach house drama, and the deeply suspicious behavior of The Jonas Brothers. Then the conversation gets even messier in the best way, as they unpack Hollywood trauma, postpartum depression, eating disorders, and the bizarre ways fame, image, and gender expectations warp people in public.
It’s funny, sharp, a little unhinged, and weirdly thoughtful in all the right places. If you like your podcasts chaotic with a side of insight, this one is for you.

Season 3, Episode 8
Show notes
Shark Week, celebrity pregnancy discourse, and a murder case turned comedy show collide in one chaotic, can’t-look-away conversation. This episode starts in full gremlin mode and never really recovers. What begins as a rant about missed birthday plans and unread texts turns into a wildly funny, surprisingly sharp unpacking of how women are scrutinized for everything from their bodies to their communication style. The psychos get into the social pressure around pregnancy visibility, the weird confidence of strangers commenting on someone “not looking pregnant enough,” and why the conversation around Anne Hathaway’s red carpet appearance hit such a nerve.
The psychos also break down Kylie Jenner’s Dunkin’ ad, the bizarre Brooklyn Beckham seawater pasta saga, and why “wrong shoe theory” is actually a fashion power move. Plus, this week’s Psycho of the Week: Amanda Knox, and the uncomfortable question of what happens when someone publicly reclaims a trauma that the world has spent years exploiting.
Perfect for anyone who loves pop culture chaos with an actual point of view, this one is equal parts hilarious, unhinged, and weirdly thoughtful. If you like your celebrity news messy and your cultural commentary just self-aware enough to sting, hit play.

The internet is melting, men are a liability, and Rihanna is still somehow winning. If you need a brutally funny reset on pop culture, dating chaos, and the weirdest corners of modern life, this episode is for you.
The conversation kicks off with a look into dating app AI disasters, MySpace nostalgia, AIM-era communication, and the terrifying possibility that the next generation will think talking to a human is obsolete.
The psychos take a deep-fried look at the upcoming movie Wicker, and spiral into the bigger question behind the whole thing: why are women so willing to fall for a literal basket when the bar for men is already on the floor?
They also crown Rihanna as Psycho of the Week for her masterclass in disappointing the fans - popping in, teasing new music, disappearing again, and somehow turning scarcity into power. Along the way, they break down why her mystique feels more like a strategic flex than a celebrity cycle, and why fans keep holding on for one more hit of Bad Gal.
You'll also hear a surprisingly practical no-filter debate on SSRIs and a brutal takedown of Aritzia’s fitting room situation as a form of public humiliation. Then
Tune in as the psychos capture how online life, celebrity obsession, dating fatigue, and mental health all blur together now, and why everyone feels a little more unhinged than they used to.
