In this Episode the boys recap their eventful weekend which includes a chain reaction of vomit, Two eventful appearances by rival chuggers and hectic mania followed by an hour long interview with Kate. Kate is great, she opened up and wore her heart on a sleeve as she told us the series of unfortunate events that ultimately led her to where she is today. From the ups and downs in college, to serving as a Marine in the military to landing a dream job at Comedy Central to Stand up comedy to personal relationship drama/trauma that ultimately shows her stoic personality and developed who she is today. Today Kate can be looked at as an inspiration to people who think their life is at a dead end and cant find a way out besides doing it her way and climbing her way out of her own sabotaged shit.

SHRINKAGE: Episode #16 INTERN CHALLENGE (August 12th, 2026)

Trinket is for adult entertainment only. Bored at home, stuck in traffic, call the number. Trinkage may contain sexually orientated content. Now guys, I really like the intro, but I want to get to it faster. Get me to the show baby, go faster, please, please go faster. All right guys, welcome back. 

The "Struggling Artist" Era: Nick shares stories from his time as an Ohio State web designer—living above a Panda Express without home internet, using hotel Wi-Fi to stream TV shows, and tracking his workday with minute-by-minute tally marks on Post-it notes just to pass the time.

The 48-Hour MegaBus Grind: How Nick applied to over 1,000 jobs in NYC, fake-using a friend's address and taking overnight 48-hour MegaBus trips from Columbus to interview for graphic design roles at Fox Sports, the NY Mets, and eventually Barstool Sports.

First Days & "Oddball" Roommates: Taking a $5,000 pay cut to join Barstool, dealing with a bizarre acquaintance who sent 12 long-stem roses and chocolates to his desk on his second day, and getting caught in the initial COVID-19 office lockdown after only a month on the job.

Accidental Content & The Yak: Moving from behind-the-scenes graphics to full-time on-camera talent as the official "7th chair" on The Yak, teaming up with KB during quarantine to create fake podcast clips for ANUS, and navigating the transition into full creative freedom.

The Realities of Digital Media: The crew opens up about the harsh side of going viral, dealing with internet criticism, imposter syndrome, Dave Portnoy's early advice, and the intense pressure of trying to follow up a hit video (comparing it to having to give a speech right after MLK's "I Have a Dream").

VOICEMAILS: Some of the best voicemails we have had.

We learn a traumatic masturbating story, Mikey's parents never taught him how to wipe, and everyone oddly has a different description of what cheating is.
