For the girls, the gays, and anyone who knows that the best stories start with “Okay, so don’t be mad…” Hosted by Sage Toomey & Lucrezio, this is not self-help—just a wine-fueled deep dive into the questionable choices, and the kind of stories that should probably stay corked. But where’s the fun in that? Pour a glass, lower your standards, and let’s get into it.

7: Sauv Blanc & Soulless Eyes - More Chaos Ft. Breea, Mj & Kerry
Breea and MJ are back, and this time they brought Kerry for a completely unhinged episode. There’s a tiny bit of wine talk, but mostly it’s chaos... dorm grime bottles, Oregon liquor law loopholes, emergency apocalypse kits, and the legendary red flags party.

In this unfiltered, hilarious, and slightly chaotic episode, Sage and Lucrezio are joined by Sage's sister Breea and her girlfriend MJ for a deep-dive into queer love, crash outs, Wendy’s pairings, and wine-fueled storytelling. From romantic roommates-to-lovers lore and Arizona Grenache to near-death Tesla autopilot adventures, breaking into churches on shrooms, and the legend of fibs that boiled, nothing is off-limits. Trigger warnings galore—but mostly, it’s about laughing through the madness of young adulthood and finding the people who crash out with you.

4: ep.4 “We Can’t Keep Getting Away with This” - Special Guest Chance Redfield
This week on The Secret Life of Soms, Sage is joined by Chance Redfield for a deep dive into their latest crash-out Saturday night: The Well Bar, one too many shots of Rumple Minze, questionable couch naps, and an exploded bottle of wine. We talk about bartender culture, trading a rubber band ball for a house (seriously), the toxic loop of post-shift drinking, and that time someone tried to pay Sage to stay longer at an afterparty. Also: are vampires real? Should we be worried about martial law? Why is Instagram targeting us with breast implant ads? Chaos ensues. Mindsets shift. Sobriety might be attempted. No promises.
