Happy Halloween everybody! Here's our scariest offering yet: a failson vanity project by a Getty scion who did so much meth it ultimately killed him
Friend of the show and man who was not torn apart by dogs on October 26th 2025 as foretold by Afroman, Thomsen (@mood_probiotic), joins us to talk about 2017's The Evil Within (original title The Storyteller), the first and last film by Andrew Getty, brought to you by decades of billionaire psycho familial trauma and an insane amount of meth. Starring real actors and shot with a real production budget in the early 2000s, The Evil Within is a movie about a mentally disabled man who is tormented by his evil mirror double Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) into doing a Son of Sam style serial killing to open his own personal Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It's like if Tommy Wiseau had 20% of David Lynch's artistry and sleep paralysis every night of his life. Plus, Thomsen tells the most insane story ever shared on the podcast.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
