Ten Toes Down (Maddy's Version)

Rhett and Emma decided to be ~*~random*~* and record an episode of their podcast so that they could catch up on how their Pride month went, new music they've been listening to, and the shows they've been performing in. They also talk about parasocial relationships, the diarrhea parasite, and Rhett's recent trip to Clark's Bears. They make no promises as to when they will record again.

Rhett and Emma recap the Oscars, talk about Rhett's haircut (with full creative credit to Emma), and do a deep dive into Hamnet. But most importantly, they spend a large majority of the episode doing the scuba.

Rhett and Emma connect virtually in the wake of the Big Boston Blizzard of 2026 to discuss Emma's first tattoo, the 2020 film I'm Thinking of Ending Things, and Beabadoobee. Then, Rhett introduces a new segment dedicated to analyzing lyrics, which both he and Emma take incredibly seriously.

Rhett and Emma return from their holiday hiatus to catch up on several recent movie releases: Wuthering Heights, The Moment, Pillion, and Send Help. They also discuss The Traitors before giving rousing performances inspired by the “Wide Awake” harmony trend for their Vocal Challenge of the Week.

Rhett and Emma kick things off with some poetry before explaining how rooms are assigned at the Khia Asylum. Then, they get candid about their feelings on The Life of a Showgirl and revisit the unforgettable death of Allison's mom in Teen Wolf. The rest of the episode turns into chaos as they express their excitement (mostly through song) for Wicked: For Good.

Rhett and Emma recap their Halloweens, dive into Grok and Rhett’s AI video obsession, absolutely slay the vocal challenge of the week, and break down Bugonia.

Rhett and Emma read selections from the Anthology of Poetry by Young Americans and introduce a new segment (Vocal Challenge of the Week) before doing a deep dive into Paramore, Hayley Williams, and her new album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party.

Rhett and Emma catch up on several weeks of culture with topics including: Man's Best Friend, Renee Rapp, the rapture, AI videos online, and Katseye. Then they do improv inspired by The Long Walk.

Rhett and Emma sit down with Rosemary Ellis West as she becomes everyone’s new bestie. They discuss the origin of their friendship and dive into everything Rosemary — playing wolves at recess, an aversion to bathrooms, sexy bears at book fairs, wicked kings, Michael Jackson and so much more! This inspires some truly… unique improv.

In response to Taylor Swift's announcement of her new album The Life of a Showgirl, Rhett and Emma reach out to bestie and proud Swiftie Maddy Lenny for her thoughts on all things Taylor (this episode was recorded pre-engagement announcement).
