TSR Ep 5: Grandma's Ashes in a Ring, Missing Brothers, & the Ick Protocol

Rachel and Brandon are back in the Snitchuation Room with three situations that range from heartbreaking to fully unhinged. First: a family that turns a funeral day into a surprise birthday party… at the grieving daughter’s house… and then has the audacity to request Grandma’s ashes for a ring. Next: a listener watches his older brother and sister-in-law vanish from the entire family after joining a fundamentalist-adjacent church—blocked numbers, burner-account Facebook stalking, and a whole lot of culty red flags—while he wrestles with whether to keep reaching out or protect his peace. Finally: a young corporate worker is down astronomically bad for the hottest man alive, accidentally speaks in a “British” accent, and now needs an emergency plan to manufacture the ick before she melts into a puddle on their shared project. Get ready to enter the Snitchuation Room.
