The hosts recount a high-stakes, humorous visit to Cory Feldman's secret studio in Los Angeles, where they met producer Phil and musician Greg Sariano. The trip culminated in a tense near-miss encounter with Cory himself in the hotel lobby bar, highlighting the hosts' role as perceived 'stalkers' and the complex, suspicious dynamic between Cory and his inner circle.
Key takeaways 5
The hosts were invited by Phil to the secret studio under the guise of meeting the producer, but the underlying tension involved Cory Feldman's paranoia about being stalked by the 'Anti-Cory' podcast.
Greg Sariano was completely unaware of the hosts' identity or reputation when they met him in the studio, indicating he is insulated from the public narrative surrounding Cory.
Cory Feldman was reportedly awake for over 24 hours during his birthday weekend, contributing to a chaotic environment where he was looking for celebrities or women in the lobby bar.
The hosts deliberately avoided confronting Cory to protect Phil's relationship with him, choosing instead to hide in plain sight in the lobby bar while Cory was only feet away.
Phil attempted to hide the hosts' presence from Cory by suggesting Cory not enter the bar, a tactic that failed when Cory insisted on entering anyway.
