The Northern Aggression Podcast

Marshall gets distracted almost immediately after discovering confetti on the dining room chandelier, setting the tone for the chaos to come. He hands Gunter her Mac Magic Mouse, which somehow turns into a much bigger discussion than intended. The actual goal of the episode is to determine the official luxury vehicle of the SEC—and more importantly, what the official non-luxury vehicle should be....

Marshall takes issue with RFK Jr.’s slogan “Make America Healthy Again.” His logic? That implies America was healthy at some point, which he strongly disputes. According to him, even the 1950s weren’t exactly the pinnacle of wellness. That leads him to quiz Gunter on what kids drank in the ’80s. She nails it: Sunny D. Gunter calls it fake orange juice, Marshall calls it “orange juice fortified wit...

Marshall opens by admitting this episode might be a bad idea—which is never a reassuring start. He wants to talk about sexual preference, and along the way gets hung up on furries, because of course he does. From there, Marshall and Gunter take aim at society’s obsession with “the first of everything”—first this, first that—and question why it matters so much. That somehow leads into a discussion...

Marshall and Gunter are at dinner again—because of course they are—and the people-watching does not disappoint. Marshall attempts to break down the dynamics of what he calls a “fake-looking mom,” while Gunter casually drops that she learned some disturbing information about penises. As one does. They share a story about someone they know who OD’d on gummies, which somehow leads into Marshall ranti...

Gunter and Marshall attempt to video record the episode… and it goes about as well as you’d expect. After trying it one more time, they decide that’s enough innovation for now. Marshall opens with a confession, which quickly devolves into competing song references that don’t quite align. Naturally, Marshall starts making up lyrics—because he loves a good parody and is fully committed to creating h...

Marshall opens the episode with a topic—which immediately alarms Gunter because she has no idea where this is going. He admits he’s been thinking about two things: transgender people and cosplay… and mosquitoes. Naturally, he starts with mosquitoes, thanks to getting eaten alive while doing yard work. A sighting at the dog park sparks the jump to the other topic. Marshall explains that while he ac...

Marshall is back on his favorite battlefield: laundry. This time, he’s furious that Gunter’s shirts refuse to stay on hangers, which somehow becomes a broader commentary on order, chaos, and personal responsibility. Gunter casually shares that she’d love to be featured on Dateline. Marshall absolutely would not. That launches him into a rant about the overuse of words like “legit trauma,” “crisis,...

arshall just wanted to volunteer. That’s it. Fill out a simple form and move on. But of course… there are issues. The form asks for pronouns, which sends Marshall into a full spiral—not just about forms, but about what would apparently become his political platform. Things escalate when Marshall reveals he listed “Yankee” as his ethnicity, because naturally he did. As if that wasn’t enough, Marsha...

Gunter and Marshall are not on the same page today. Gunter boldly claims Marshall is profoundly unhappy. Marshall disagrees—he just thinks the world would be a better place if he could sell curly fries and bring people joy. Gunter is not convinced that curly fries alone can fix things. From there, the conversation spirals into luxury purses, lip filler, and cheek implants—because obviously that’s...

Marshall opens the episode singing ad jingles, which tells you everything you need to know about where this is headed. He quickly pivots into talking about ads in general before Gunter steers things into a trip down memory lane—house hunting. They recount buying their current home and the moment Marshall noticed something unsettling: a flamingo by the neighbor’s mailbox. Now there’s also a pineapp...

Fresh off Season 4, Marshall and Gunter debrief a recent trip to a Mexican restaurant—where Marshall was apparently doing full-scale anthropological research. Highlights include a woman in a very tight shirt and a nerdy couple that Marshall insists cannot possibly be on a date (Gunter strongly disagrees). Marshall also raises a critical fashion question: why do we wear leg warmers with leggings? B...

Marshall and Gunter openly admit they don’t really plan episodes — which honestly explains a lot. Fresh off their Olive Garden adventure (yes, go back and listen), they try another Italian restaurant and quickly become invested in a couple who appear to be on one of their first dates. When the woman says, “You have to be mature to act childlike,” Marshall has thoughts. Of course he does. Marshall...

Marshall boldly claims this is an “action packed episode,” which should immediately concern everyone. He starts with professional development — despite famously hating professional development — and Gunter wastes no time calling him out. Of course, there are references to prior episodes because continuity matters… sometimes. Marshall shares about his mom’s dementia battle, and they both reflect on...

Marshall kicks things off with his highly questionable suggestions for new Olympic events in swimming and track & field. Spoiler: the IOC will not be calling. Then things take a hard left as he brings up a BBC article about a Spanish soccer player facing backlash for hiring entertainers with dwarfism. Gunter and Marshall attempt to unpack the situation… but let’s be honest, staying on topic is...

Marshall and Gunter attempt to video themselves recording the podcast—because clearly adding cameras won’t make things worse. Gunter immediately discovers a rogue chin hair and is deeply upset that no one warned her. Marshall helpfully compares it to old-man eyebrow hairs, which does not improve the situation. They take a brief DIY detour to talk about installing window film, then pivot to where t...

Gunter opens by telling Marshall that he freaks her out no matter what he does. Marshall doesn’t help matters by refusing to tell her what he plans to talk about. He immediately takes a jab at P. Diddy, then casually reveals he’s had a Jeopardy! page-a-day calendar for years—and yes, he keeps a spreadsheet tracking his performance, complete with standard deviation. Gunter responds the only reasona...

Marshall comes in hot with breaking news—he wants Gunter’s raw reaction to the latest updates in the Wander Franco case. Of course, he delivers the case details with full dramatic flair, because subtlety isn’t really his thing. As expected, Marshall has thoughts—on Franco, on Major League Baseball, and on how other professional sports have (or haven’t) handled their own scandals. No league is safe...

Gunter kicks things off by quizzing Marshall on WNBA team names, which goes about as well as you'd expect. From there, the duo dives into Olympic nostalgia—specifically their favorite pastime of watching obscure sports and trying to figure out the rules just by watching. Spoiler: they failed. Marshall reveals an oddly deep knowledge (and slight obsession) with the biathlon, which raises more quest...

Marshall kicks off the episode with an unexpected but oddly heartfelt PSA about colonoscopies. Don’t worry—he still manages to make it weird. Things escalate quickly into a dual rant about short shorts. Marshall is particularly incensed by high-rise short shorts and claims to have applied math to explain why they’re wrong. Gunter’s not impressed—and she’s got her own beef with short shorts on men....

Marshall kicks things off by reliving the rage he felt toward his IT department the day before. Nothing new there—but yes, it comes with a full-throttle rant. He also tries to use a word fragment to sound smarter (or lazier?), but Gunter, unsurprisingly, has no clue what he’s trying to say. Somehow that leads into a discussion about women with a lot of facial work, and Marshall delivers his unsoli...

Marshall comes in hot with a family story, prompting Gunter to issue a full disclaimer about the “Marshall man” trait—apparently they’re all like this. Marshall claims the best way to sum up their year is by comparing county maps before and after, because of course he does. As always, there are callbacks to previous episodes, and Gunter calls Marshall out for not finishing his spreadsheet of podca...

Gunter kicks things off by calling Marshall demure—a word he doesn’t even know, which immediately sets the tone. Things only spiral from there. Marshall makes jokes about Whitney Houston, admits to “thinking” (which Gunter says is terrifying), and launches into a play-by-play of some insane driving he witnessed. Naturally, he blames all the chaos on Gunter being in the car—because weird stuff alwa...

Season 4 kicks off and Marshall is way too excited to be back. He promised Gunter this episode would be “crazy” because it’s built on a philosophical framework. Gunter’s already scared. It all starts with a new Tennessee law about what gender can be listed on a driver’s license and the ACLU’s lawsuit against the state. Marshall has a “solution” to the issue—but Gunter refuses to go along with his...

For the last bonus episode before Season 4, Marshall and Gunter are completely unprepared—no microphones, no plan, and somehow even less structure than usual. Marshall does what he does best and tries to crack jokes through the chaos. Gunter recounts yet another fall, but good news: no newly broken bones this time. Marshall also manages to get political—just not in the way you might expect—and yes...

Marshall and Gunter recount their morning adventure, which should have included Marshall successfully buying Gunter a bagel—but absolutely did not. What follows is a full Marshall rant describing the people in the bagel shop in vivid, unnecessary detail. Naturally, the story zig-zags wildly, plans fall apart, and just to keep things on brand, Gunter’s microphone dies mid-episode. It’s breakfast ch...
