S5E6 Was James Dean’s ‘Little Bastard’ Porsche cursed
In this rib-tickling episode, Koji, Dwayne, and Cat hilariously stumble into the bizarre and often sidesplitting world of cursed objects and superstitions, joined by guest writer and comedian Vanessa Graddick. They tackle the legendary tale of James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder, ominously dubbed "Little Bastard" (because apparently, "Speedy McDeathtrap" was already taken), diving headfirst into the alleged curse that accompanied the iconic actor's tragic fate. The conversation effortlessly swerves through cultural insights and personal anecdotes, from comically wishing playful curses on everyday annoyances like malfunctioning podcast equipment (is it too much to ask for a tech exorcism?) and road rage offenders (who really should have their own lane on the highway to nowhere), to captivating chats about unlucky numbers and the curious legacy of cursed items. This episode serves up humor with a side of nostalgia, taking listeners on a giggle-inducing ride through Hollywood's dark legends and playful banter, all while pondering whether these curses are just coincidences or supernatural shenanigans pulling a fast one on us.ABOUT OUR GUEST Vanessa Graddick is a fearless stand-up comedian and producer known for her sharp wit, emotional depth, and fast-paced delivery. A former social worker turned comic, she’s toured internationally, entertained U.S. troops, and appeared on Comedy Central, BET, and The Real Husbands of Hollywood. Behind the scenes, she’s produced for Funny You Should Ask and The Gossip Queens, blending humor with heart in everything she touches.RESEARCH We do most of our research online… because why not?
