Released , on YouTube.

The set starts by ribbing self-serious stand-ups and admitting her knees hurt in her Vans, then settles into the weirder corners of her notebook: twelve-foot skeletons high-fiving over Wyoming, a teen-girl conspiracy asking where JTT was on 9/11, getting ghosted on a ghost tour, and a Father’s Day trip to Medieval Times. Between a portrait of a mall Easter Bunny, the title milk story, and a closing tall tale about Mrs. X, the material plays like someone who cut her teeth opening for punk bands and still prefers oddball premises over tidy club setups. Filmed at Portland’s Clinton Street Theatre by documentarian Taylor Morden with Philadelphia ska band Catbite over the credits, it arrives ten years after her debut album Opinion Cave as her first full-length video special. Posey put it out in spring 2026 as the first video production from Burn This Records, the independent label she founded in 2023 while co-hosting Lady to Lady and bringing her roster onto the Vans Warped Tour comedy lineup. The 48-minute album version hit number one on the iTunes comedy charts in March before the full special went up on YouTube in April.

Notable bits & set list

6 bits

  1. Intimidating teens in a hotel hot tub

    At 38, she found a newfound sense of personal power by openly mad-dogging making-out teenagers out of a hotel hot tub.

  2. Carrying a phone in her bra without pockets

    Giving up on pants pockets at 39 to blast true crime podcasts openly from her chest while walking her dog.

  3. Robbing banks in her forties

    Exploiting the societal invisibility of older women by robbing young bank tellers who will only be able to describe her as tired.

  4. Throwing a fertility crystal

    Visiting a crystal shop with a witch friend post-lockdown and chucking a crystal against a wall upon realizing it was for fertility.

  5. Spoiling dogs versus raising children

    Comparing parenting to high-stakes hacky sack and deciding she prefers spoiling a dog who will never grow up to mistreat a server.

  6. Post-apocalyptic guitar mastery

    Imagining being the last human alive, raiding Bruce Springsteen's house for a guitar, and playing 'Born to Run' poorly to an arena of dogs.
