She Hid A Knife In My Bedroom | The Official Podcast

·1 hr 46 min·5 clips
Andrew rails against Magic: The Gathering's 'Office' crossover, calling buyers 'lesser human beings' for spending $105 on a 'man-child' card.
The Official Podcast episode begins with host Andrew delivering a lengthy, impassioned critique of Magic: The Gathering's brand crossovers, specifically targeting a set themed around 'The Office.' He argues the game has abandoned its original creative universe to chase profits, appealing to 'millennial man children.' Co-hosts Jackson, Kaya, and Charlie engage in debate about the consumer base. After a sponsor ad for Cash App, the show transitions to its main segment: listener call-in dating stories. The first caller, Chance, shares an extreme story. He met a woman while vetting tenants for his duplex on Facebook Marketplace. They dated slowly for six months, with only four dates and hand-holding. After professing love and spending the night, she woke up in a manic state. She admitted to lying about having an IUD, claimed to be having sex with her boss and orgies with coworkers, and mentioned 'sex meetings' in Vegas. She then attempted to rape Chance, threatened to kill his Australian Shepherd dog, and screamed for hours. Chance discovered she had hidden a kitchen knife in his bedroom. He later learned that in his state, an overnight guest can claim residency, preventing eviction for 30 days. The woman eventually left, smashed her phone in his driveway, and was arrested for trespassing at her ex's house where a restraining order was in place. Chance contacted her family; she was hospitalized and later diagnosed with drug-induced psychosis, claiming no memory of the events. The hosts provide humorous and dark commentary throughout. The episode ends with the hosts introducing the next caller, Elizabeth, who has a story about a bad homecoming date involving Rocky Mountain oysters.
