Buckle up for a wild ride through anonymous confessions that'll make you gasp, cringe, and laugh out loud. The debut of Gremlin Gossip arrived with a bang as listeners submitted their juiciest secrets, resulting in seven stories that range from shocking to downright disturbing.

Ever wonder what happens when someone's specific bedroom fetish goes terribly wrong? Have you wanted to exact revenge with an Etsy witch? Well listener submissions might ave the answers. The dark humor continues with an office tale about a woman whose husband "randomly" died, only for her to be dating within weeks and engaged within months, leaving coworkers suspicious about what really happened.

The confessions take a relatable turn with not one but two separate stories about condom mishaps during hookups, proving some embarrassing experiences are more universal than we might think. Meanwhile, another listener shares the cringe-worthy moment of recognizing her child's school crossing guard as a one-night stand, creating daily dropoff anxiety. The episode concludes with a sobering account from someone who, at 17, lost their virginity to a thirty-something predator who worked at a high school, offering an important reminder about recognizing dangerous situations.

These anonymous revelations scratch our collective itch for the taboo and remind us that everyone has secrets they're dying to share if given the right platform. Submit your own gremlin gossip, gremlin stories, or gremlin guidance to emilytogremilypod@gmail.com and follow along on Instagram and TikTok @emilytogremilypod. Your confession could be featured next... anonymously, of course!

Speaker 1 (00:13):
all right, cheers.
Guys, we are doing the very,very, very, very, very first
gremlin gossip episode, gremlinGossip episode.
So last week I had a submissionfrom a listener named Joey and
they gave me this story thatthey didn't think really applied
for it to be like a gremlinstory, but it was just like a

(00:37):
piece of gossip that they wantedto share.
And I got really excited and Iput it out to all of you guys.
If you have gossip that youwant to share, to send it in,
because I absolutely love tohear gossip, even if I don't
know the people.
I'm just nosy like that.
I'm a nose and nelly, so I havelet's see one, two, three, four

(00:58):
, five, six, seven gossipstories that I picked.
Um, oh, can't forget.
The drink of the week is I waslazy today it's just a Celsius
with Tito's, so it's energydrink with vodka.
It's not the prettiest color,it kind of looks like I'm

(01:19):
drinking a science experiment,but and it's kind of late.
Let's see, normally I filmduring the day, but right now
it's almost 930 at night andit's kind of late.
Let's see, normally I filmduring the day, but right now
it's almost 930 at night.
I had a day, but I have a bunchto do after this.
So the Celsius will come inhandy and hopefully I'll get
everything done and tomorrow canbe a free day.
Okay, so we have seven gremlingossips.

(01:42):
I was thinking about putting inseven gremlin gossips.
I was thinking about putting insome gremlin stories, but I
kind of wanted this episode tojust be the gossip.
So next week we'll see what theformat is.
I'm still playing around withstuff, guys.
I am figuring it out as I go.
The first one also.
You guys got real comfortable,real quick.

(02:02):
I'll tell you that right now.
I, when I received them, Iusually there's not like a
formula to how I read thestories, um, but for this, like
normally, I just pick them likebased on, like, how I receive
them.
That's just the order that theygo in.
Um, but for this I was like,hmm, I feel like there might

(02:26):
need to be some order.
The first one I'm going to readit had me clutching my pearls.
I was like, oh my God.
So I figured let's start strongand it's you'll.
You, I guess you'll see.
But yeah, the first one is wild.
I think it's the craziest one.

(02:46):
It might be the ickiest.
So with that, let's get itstarted.
Actually, most of these areanonymous with, I believe, the
exception of just one.
Yeah, okay, so the first one,which it might rank as the

(03:09):
number one most insane piece ofgossip we got for this episode.
Anonymous says when I was 25, Iwas dating this guy who had a
fetish for coming on me.
I can't believe I'm readingthis.
It didn't matter where, he justliked to see it on me.

(03:29):
I had a rule.
He couldn't get it in my eyesbecause I had lash extensions.
Well, one of the last times weslept together, he whipped it
out and, you guessed, it got mein both eyes.
I was pissed and blinded.
I cleaned myself up and went tobed annoyed.

(03:50):
The next day my eyes werefeeling really itchy and, oh God
, okay, hold on, let me do that.
The next day, my eyes werefeeling really itchy and by the
nighttime they were becomingsticky.
The following morning I hadfull on pink eye in both eyes
and had to go to the doctor foreye drops.

(04:11):
I was furious and we stoppeddating shortly after that.
I don't know why it gave me pinkwords.
I don't know if this is aunique experience for you.
It hasn't happened to me and ithasn't happened to anyone that

(04:34):
I know of.
I mean, I feel like myself andmy friends were pretty like open
with each other about like whathas, like like gossiping, like
you know, about sex stuff.
I feel like they someone wouldhave told me if this had
happened to them, and theyhaven't.
So I don't know if this is likea thing.

(04:56):
Also, I was going to google whyyou got pink eye, um, and then I
thought about it and I decided,decided, first of all, I don't
think I wanted to know.
Second, it seems like youdidn't want to know either.
And third, I got weirded outabout my search history.
I'm like that's like I don'tknow it, just it made me feel

(05:21):
icky.
It made me feel icky so Ididn't Google it.
Um, I so, yeah, and if peopleout there know why, um, I don't,
I don't even think I want toknow.
I guess, keep it to yourself.
Um, yeah, this, this grossed meout.
I like I said I was clutchingmy pearls when I read it and I

(05:42):
was like, oh my God.
And I was like, should I readthis on the podcast?
Like, is it too vulgar?
And I'm like, well, technicallyit's not too vulgar, it's just
like eerie.
But, um, yeah, we're startingoff real strong guys.
And um sorry to anonymous whogot pink eye Cause that's no fun
.
Um and yeah, um, I have nowords, so let's just move on.

(06:09):
The next one is also anonymous.
She says I've been paying anEtsy witch every month to curse
my ex-boyfriend.
He's a bastard who cheated onme with two of my friends, so he
deserves it.
It's not too expensive and itmakes me feel better.
I heard he has recently losthis job, so I'd like to think I
had something to do with that.

(06:29):
Unsigned.
I do always hear like it'smainly on TikTok.
If I'm going to say I heardabout something, just assume
it's TikTok.
I have heard about this wholeEtsy witch.
I don't know like spike in,like people like using them.
I don't think I would ever usethem myself because I do think

(06:53):
it's kind of a scam, but at thesame time that's pretty funny.
Also, he's a bastard whocheated on me with two of my
friends.
Your friends aren't innocent inthis either.
I hope you're spreading thecurse around at least.
I mean, yeah, he sucks, but Imean, if those were two of your,
if there were two of yourfriends that you know slept with

(07:15):
him as well?
They're not your friends.
They're just as guilty as he is, because I could tell you, if
my friend's boyfriend came on tome, I wouldn't be like okay,
and then sleep with sleep withhim, like zero loyalty from any
of them.
So I hope all of them are outof your life.
And um, the Etsy witch I wonderif it's the same one that keeps
like everyone keeps talkingabout.

(07:36):
Because there's this one that'slike apparently like super
popular because she's like Idon't know the most she has like
the best.
I don't know rating on the Etsy, I don't know the most she has
like the best.
I don't know rating on Etsy, Idon't know.
But I have heard about this.
I don't really plan on using it.
I don't have anyone that I wantto curse, you know, I don't

(07:57):
know.
I guess I'm just sweet likethat.
All right.
Number three let's go.
Another unsigned.
She says pre-COVID.
I was working at this office fora couple of years.
My cubicle was next to a womanlet's call her Susan and we were
friendly.

(08:17):
Her husband randomly passedaway and she took some time off
of work.
When she came back she wasn'tsolemn like we all thought she
would be.
She was actually raving abouther new boyfriend.
Everyone was shocked.
Her husband died in September,I remember, because it was the
day after my birthday.

(08:37):
She was talking about her newboyfriend in October and by
Christmas she was engaged.
It just seemed really weird.
She stopped working at theoffice a couple months later, so
I don't know what happened.
Anonymous, um, I think someoneshould look into Susan.

(08:59):
Um, he died randomly.
I'm.
I'm gonna say maybe she hadsomething to do with that,
because that's so weird.
I don't mean to laugh.
I laugh when I get nervous.
Um, yeah, I am, I think Susanmurdered her husband, but that's

(09:23):
just me talking.
And look, it said pre-COVID, soit's at the very least five
years ago, maybe six actually.
Yeah, yeah, someone look intothat.
I wonder if people did getsuspicious and then looked into
it and maybe she was justcleared like now.

(09:44):
I want to know how did thehusband die?
Like was it a freak accident?
Or like he obviously wasn'tsick, because it says randomly
suspicious, I don't know.
Um, yeah, so we have an arrayof stories here, from fetishes

(10:06):
to curses to possible murder.
Anyway, let's move it on.
All right, the next one.
I paired these two togetherbecause it's the same thing.
Pretty much happened to both ofthese girls.
The same thing pretty muchhappened to both of these girls.
Yeah, the first one, she wasour only brave one.

(10:26):
Not that the rest of themaren't brave, she's just the
only one who signed her name.
So Marissa says this is superembarrassing, but I think you'll
find it funny.
I had been hooking up with thisguy for a couple months and I
liked him, but I didn't reallysee a future with him.
One night after we were done,he tells me that the condom is

(10:49):
missing.
So we're searching the bed,thinking it fell off, but we
can't find it.
I get up to pee and thenrealized the condom was inside
of me.
I was trying to get it out.
The condom was inside of me.
I was trying to get it out butunfortunately needed his
assistance.
It was so embarrassing, but hewas cool about it.
Thank God, marissa.

(11:09):
And let's just move it rightinto the next one.
Anonymous says during my hophase there was this one
particular bar I would go to toscout for new potential hookups.
I met a guy there who was intown for work and he was a cutie
.
His hotel was down the streetand after a couple of hours of

(11:32):
talking and many drinks later weare stumbling to his room.
He told me he didn't have anyprotection but me being a safety
queen.
I said I had one in my purse soI give it to him and we get
down to business.
Everything was great, but Idecided I wanted to go home, so
I got dressed, said goodbye andmade my way home.

(11:52):
When I got home, I crashedimmediately into bed and woke up
the next morning with ahangover.
I eventually get up and showerand when I was soaping up I felt
something down there.
I'm freaked out and investigateand it was the motherfucking
condom.
I was so grossed out maybe itwas too big for him and it
slipped off.
I don't know.

(12:13):
I never called the guy back andI definitely slowed down my ho
ways, anonymous, okay, okay, um,this has never happened to me
either.
Um, and I don't.
I don't know that.
I haven't heard any of myfriends talk about this either,

(12:34):
but like, what's up?
Like these guys are using baggycondoms, like just get your own
size, like how much you want tobet?
These are the guys that arebuying magnums at the store and
really they need like smalls.
Either that, or they got likepencil dicks over here.
Well, I don't.
I don't understand how it's,how it slips off.

(12:55):
I should have, maybe I shouldhave googled that, but again, I
again.
My search history is alreadyreally weird because I like to
look up random facts that I hearabout.
Okay, this is a couple days ago.
I saw this TikTok about.
This has nothing to do with thestories, by the way, I'm just

(13:15):
going on a tangent.
I saw this TikTok about howTeddy Roosevelt's daughter,
alice, was banned from the WhiteHouse by two different
presidents.
So I was like, huh, why?
Like that's weird, like whatdid she do?

(13:36):
Wikipedia, where then they were?
They said Teddy Roosevelt onlybecame president because he was
the vice president of WilliamMcKinley, who was assassinated
during office.
So I was like, hmm well, whoassassinated him?
So click on that guy's page,you know, go through all the
things found out, like why hedid it, and blah, blah, blah.

(13:57):
Anyway, I did such a deep diveon this guy who assassinated
William McKinley that I foundout that after his execution he
had an autopsy performed andthey found out that he had I'm
going to butcher the way this issaid chakras.
I don't know how to say it, butI didn't know what the fuck it

(14:17):
was.
So I clicked on it and I waslike well, what is that?
Anyway, I found out thatWilliam McKinley's assassinator
had an STI from, apparently youknow, swinging his dick all
around town and it's like Iguess you would equate it to
like modern day herpes.
I don't know.
They said it was genital sores.
Anyway, that's to say, mysearch history is wild and weird

(14:41):
.
I didn't want to add this ontoit and it makes me I wonder.
Did Marissa and Anonymous sleepwith the same guy who just
doesn't fit into condoms?
I don't know, and he didn'thave one on him Like dude.
All right, Anyway, that was atangent and let's move it.

(15:05):
Move it along, okay.
Anonymous says this one waspretty funny.
I was dropping my daughter offfor her first day of second
grade.
There is a drop-off line acrossthe street and the kids hop out
and cross the street to enterthe school.
So my daughter gets out of thecar and the kids hop out and
cross the street to enter theschool.
So my daughter gets out of thecar and I'm waiting at the

(15:25):
crosswalk watching her walkacross the street.
When someone catches my eye, Iimmediately cringe.
When I realized the crossingcard was a man I had a one night
stand with when my daughter wason vacation with her dad and
stepmom during the summer.
Luckily he didn't see me orrecognize me, and now'm dreading
drop-offs for this year fml.

(15:49):
Um, I want to know, does he workfor the school, like, is he
like a teacher there, or is hisprofession just crossing guard?
And I mean you met him as aone-night stand.
I'm assuming you met him atlike a bar or club.
Did he not say what he did?
Because I got to tell you if Imet a guy at a club and then he

(16:15):
said that his occupation was acrossing guard, I don't know if
I'd hook up with him.
So I'm assuming he's gotsomething else going on other
than crossing guard and he't.
I don't know if I'd hook upwith him.
So I'm assuming he's gotsomething else going on other
than crossing guard and he maybeworks for the school.
And because I know likesometimes like teachers, you
know what do they do likevolunteer, I guess there's that,

(16:38):
okay.
And the last one is alsoanonymous.
She says oh, okay, I pickedthis one to be the last one on
purpose, you'll see why.
So I have a crazy losing myvirginity story as well.
I was 17 and had been talking tothis guy on Facebook this was

(17:00):
the days before Tinder 17 andhad been talking to this guy on
Facebook this was the daysbefore Tinder.
So we decided to meet up.
I thought he went to a highschool in the neighboring town
and he was my age when I gotthere.
He did look like his pictures,but he was much older, like in
his 30s, and he wasn't a studentat the high school, but he
worked at the high school.

(17:21):
But I was young and dumb anddidn't see the problem.
So we hung out that night andhe ended up punching in my V
card.
Now that I'm older, Idefinitely see that he was a
predator.
So now I'm sharing the gossipto let others know.
Anonymous.
Oh my God, not only is this guya predator.
Predator, he works at a highschool like, he works at a place

(17:44):
where he can.
What prey on the young.
Oh, gross, what a creepo.
I wonder what he's doing now.
And then I wonder if you were17 and this was Facebook times
like what do you?
What year do you think?
This was?
Like 2008, maybe, I don't know.
Scary, but yeah, I wonder whathe's up to now.

(18:06):
Hopefully he's not still up tohis same antics.
I mean, I know I have like anaffinity for the elderly, but
not when I was 17.
And technically, like, I justlike to say that because it
bothers um, my boyfriend, it'snot like he's a senior citizen
this year, but yeah, okay.

(18:28):
So, yeah, I just thought weshould end on that as a little
PSA for all the youngins outthere.
I don't know, do I have anyreally young listeners?
I don't know.
Now I feel weird about thatfirst story I just told.
If I have like a 16, 17 yearold listening, I don't know.
I mean I can't like censormyself now.

(18:50):
I feel like I've said worsethings.
But yeah, I don't know.
I'm assuming my age demographicis like my age, right, I don't
know.
Well, I don't know.
Guys, if you have kids, don'tlet them listen to this, because
I plan on saying worse stuff inin the years to come.

(19:11):
I highly doubt this womantalking about the fetish her
boyfriend had is going to be theworst thing that comes out of
my mouth.
So, yeah, everyone, make surethat you watch your kids and
they don't, you know, come intocontact with predators like this
, because what a fucking creep.
