More from Steph Infection
This week Stef Dag rolls by Steph Infection via Waymo, to talk everything from the origins of her name she's never really identified with to the beauty and magic of plastic surgery and Botox. The two Slavic, filth queens also get into the mental warfare that is female body image, being pro-Ozempic, capitalizing on hate comments, going viral off of hot takes, the lesser known signs and symptoms of an eating disorder, doing the nasty in autonomous vehicles, drunk and drowsy Uber drivers, unwanted pregnancies, and more! Go see Stef and Steph on the road!
This week Wheeler Walker sits down with Steph and gets into the nitty gritty of life on the road, the rules he had to break to break records, staying true to yourself, and capitalizing on the hate. They touch on atrocious auditions, nightmare flights, shit-etiquette, waxing where the sun doesn't shine, and Wheeler's farewell album: Pulling Out. Go listen to it now and see both Wheeler and Steph on tour!
On this week's episode from the not so distant past, Asif Ali sits down with Steph to breakdown moments from filming his show Deli Boys, following each other on stage, music festival Dos and Don'ts, roommate horror stories, AI scams, their childhood dreams and neuroses, arranged marriage, the underground bird trade, heart attacks, eczema, rolling ankles, the hard truth of helmets, and dying in cartoonish ways. Strap on your helmets, it's a fun ride. Go watch Deli Boys, and catch Asif and Steph on Tour!
Sam Tallent swings by Steph Infection to talk everything from his newest novel, Brut, to his dreams of donating his body to science. Steph and Sam breakdown what it means to be a "safe man", the psyche of female apex predators, aquatic antics, sobriety, sexual proclivities, clown takeovers, benefits of weight loss, health care accountability, and striking fear into the heart of an audience. Go see Sam on tour and buy his newest novel, Brut, now!
Margaret Cho stops by Steph Infection and delivers what is officially the grossest story ever told on this podcast, the one that finally made Steph gag on mic. Steph and Margaret get into being each other's Daniel Webb connection, why Margaret hasn't gone to a Hollywood party since the aughts, bangs and Botox as an anti-aging program, Forensic Files guilt and whether true crime is a cautionary tale for women or just somebody else's tragedy, the night a 500-pound man in a tow truck tried to talk a teenage Margaret into coming with him and how she knew to run, restraining orders being useless paper, threesomes being for cucks and having too many smells, the semen-is-bleach debate that got Steph called crazy on Bob the Drag Queen's podcast, the blowjob that earned a hotel suite upgrade in Charleston, Margaret's splinter that went so deep into her foot it required surgery and came out looking like a wine cork crossed with a bay scallop that she then asked to eat, toenails that grew UP like little hamburger patties from 1970s swimming pool fungus, toenail removal and nail bed cauterization, plantar warts, hemorrhoids, the 5% cream that actually works, Steph's extremely short taint, Scott Thompson cutting out his own plantar wart in a Banff cabin with vodka and scissors, why chihuahuas are the second most euthanized breed, the person reselling sidewalk gum in fake packaging, and Margaret's first special in twelve years, filming this November. Enjoy!
