The Northern Aggression Podcast

Marshall shares that he read an article about Autistic Barbie, which immediately sends him and Gunter down a rabbit hole of questions no one is quite sure are appropriate—but they ask them anyway. Gunter brings up the Barbie Girl song and wonders if the lyrics need an update. That opens the door to a bigger conversation: are there other “special” Barbies, and what does that even mean? Marshall has...

Gunter opens by wondering what Marshall would do if he got pulled over in Oliver Springs—home of what Marshall insists are aggressive speed traps. While Gunter casually eats chocolate on mic, they discover a rare point of agreement: neither of them likes coconut. Marshall drops an unsolicited health PSA that popcorn is bad for diverticulitis… then immediately admits they both love popcorn anyway....

Marshall and Gunter sit down after watching a movie—and in a shocking twist absolutely no one saw coming, Marshall hated everything about it. Gunter decides it’s probably for the best that Marshall didn’t read the book this time, too. Somewhere along the way, Marshall reveals how he thought bologna was sliced and packaged for grocery stores, a theory Gunter finds completely preposterous. Things on...

The Christmas bonus episode kicks off the only way it can—with yet another Gunter accident calamity. Was that supposed to be the entire episode? Maybe. But since when have Marshall and Gunter ever followed a plan? From there, the conversation drifts into some of Marshall’s favorite Christmas things, with the usual tangents, commentary, and mild chaos along the way. Eventually, they do manage to pu...

Marshall takes a trip down memory lane to his public speaking class—because apparently that’s where this all started. He follows it up with a roast of Gunter’s family grocery store for not being unionized… all three employees of it. Truly a labor movement in miniature. Things then take a wildly off-course detour through Petros, Tennessee, where Marshall tries (and fails) to provide the facts. Gunt...

Gunter kicks off the episode with a callback to the infamous Penises and Popsicles episode—but this time she’s bringing a new workplace theory to the table. Apparently, we now know why some men walk funny… and yes, it’s related to the Big Feet Theory. Marshall isn’t buying it, of course, and a heated debate follows. Marshall proudly references past episodes (his favorite pastime) and sprinkles in...

Gunter kicks things off by accusing Marshall of having way too much energy—especially for someone who records while pacing like a caged tiger. We learn that yes, Marshall moves around a lot while recording, and yes, he also does an alarming amount of math in his head. He doesn’t deny it. Marshall decides today’s focus is pop culture, which of course means chaos. He kicks things off with Prince Har...

Marshall has a question for Gunter: are all Southern siblings this messed up? Unfortunately, Gunter’s an only child, so no real data there. Marshall doesn’t understand why people call their sisters “sissy,” and Gunter can’t really help. We also learn Gunter has weird names for her parents, which only adds to Marshall’s confusion. Marshall launches into a theory on why millennials have no money and...

Marshall kicks things off with an existential rant: Why is it called a pair of pants?! It quickly spirals into a broader tirade about language quirks and the injustice of adverbs. Naturally. Gunter's surprising avian knowledge somehow inspires her to want to visit violence on Marshall. Things only escalate from there with a heated (but possibly unproductive) discussion about animal cruelty vs. mur...

Marshall starts off the episode suspiciously calm—probably because he claims this is a musical episode. (Spoiler: it’s not.) But it does open with a short rant about Grey’s Anatomy, so some things are still on-brand. Gunter has taken to calling Marshall Cowboy, and he’s now convinced he needs spurs. They didn’t attend the muddy local rock festival headlined by Kid Rock, but that doesn’t stop Marsh...

This week, Marshall and Gunter suffer through a painful sound check and immediately spiral. Marshall has a bold (read: ridiculous) rebrand idea for Cleveland’s baseball team—he thinks they should be called the Wahoos. Gunter reminds him that a career in marketing may not be in his future. Marshall rants about baseball anyway, because that’s what he does. Meanwhile, the saga of the bathroom remodel...

Marshall has two topics this time, which obviously means we’re going to cover at least twelve. First, Gunter dives into her latest guilty pleasure: the “Are We Dating the Same Guy?” Facebook group. One post in particular caught her eye—someone asked, “Is there a way to tell if my husband is gay?” Marshall and Gunter go all in on the comments, the chaos, and why this question exists in that group t...

Marshall and Gunter hit the road again—and it's somehow a wellness episode? Kind of. Marshall says he wants to talk about mental health… but immediately warns you that if you have mental health issues, maybe skip this one. A comforting start. Gunter tries to explain ASMR and TikTok trends, and Marshall reacts exactly like someone who gets angry about soft voices and slime videos. He can’t stand an...

Marshall and Gunter take not one—but two—trips to Cracker Barrel, and somehow both descend into chaos. Marshall attempts to describe the Cracker Barrel experience but ends up likening it to prison. All he wanted was hashbrown casserole. That’s it. Instead? Catfish. His southern dreams were crushed. He rants about Southern traditions, the downfall of Cracker Barrel’s aesthetic, and the rise of Gen...

Marshall and Gunter are planning a bathroom remodel—and surprise! It quickly spirals into chaos. Marshall starts by raging about how we’re not supposed to call it the “master” bathroom anymore. Gunter’s dream bathroom includes a luxurious Japanese toilet with all the bells and bidet whistles, but Marshall is not on board—especially with the heated seat and the price tag. He accuses her of going fu...

Gunter accuses Marshall of airing her dirty laundry—though Marshall argues he does all the laundry anyway. He recounts a tale of someone else’s childhood trauma (don’t worry, no pickles for him) and blames Gunter for chaos on the road just because she’s in the car. Gunter is missing a favorite shirt, Marshall’s ranting about bras, and—shocker—he’s taking jabs at uncles again. We meet Elder Marshal...

What was supposed to be a simple Season 3 trailer turned into—well, a full episode. Gunter just wanted Marshall to record a short intro, but he went completely rogue. Instead of keeping it short and sweet, he dives into what’s coming up in Season 3, tosses in a few rants, and then gets nerdy about fonts. Yes, fonts. Specifically, how Greek letters show up differently depending on which one you use...

Gunter opens by calling Marshall out for not even knowing what time they launch the podcast each week. That sends him straight into a rant about daylight savings versus standard time. From there, it’s a grab bag of grievances: coworkers, kids, and just about everything else that irritates him. Marshall also shares some work horror stories—this time about bathroom plumbing disasters you can’t unhea...

Marshall and Gunter head to Panera for a casual dinner and stumble across a newspaper with an advice column. This week’s lucky subject is “Kyle,” who’s trying to figure out how to transition from remote work back to the office. Naturally, Marshall has thoughts about the recommendations—and they’re not exactly HR-approved. From there, the conversation wanders (as it always does). Marshall rants abo...

What was supposed to be a short bonus episode… wasn’t. Marshall and Gunter dive into Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s engagement, which sets Marshall off on a rant about Taylor calling herself “the English teacher.” Naturally, this leads to his own English class memories, while Gunter confesses her lifelong betrayal by words growing up in the rural South. From there, the twists and turns get wild—L...

Thanks for sticking with us through Season 2 of Northern Aggression! We’ve had a blast bringing the chaos, the rants, and the questionable life advice your way. We’ll be back soon with Season 3, and trust us—we’ve got plenty of unhinged stories, hot takes, and nonsense in store. Stay tuned… you won’t want to miss it.

Marshall is already riled up—with rage and a fresh rant about word fragments. He’s got strong feelings about bar soap (he likes them plain, not fancy), and yes, he’s read a book about dictionaries. Gunter accuses him of reading a book about everything, which makes buying him new ones nearly impossible. Marshall dives into Gen Z slang, enigma machines, and jean rises, and Gunter calls him out for b...

Word’s getting out—people Marshall and Gunter work with are starting to ask about the podcast. Meanwhile, Marshall needs something explained to him (again). Today’s topic? Whole body deodorant. He’s convinced it exists because no one bathed during the pandemic. Gunter tries to clarify, but Marshall accuses her of being unable to explain anything clearly—which launches a chaotic tangent about girls...

Gunter’s been test-driving what Marshall calls “boug-mobiles,” and somehow things immediately spiral. Marshall hates modern car manuals, makes a religious joke mid-test drive, and casually tells a salesman the trunk is big enough to fit his body. (Spoiler: they were not amused.) Gunter gets called out for her driving, Marshall roasts her again, and they both agree they probably didn’t look like th...

Marshall kicks things off with a warning: this episode contains adult content (which… yeah, fair). Gunter calls him out for declaring yet another "very special episode." Marshall had a dream he had to get on tape, and the results are predictably unhinged. They take a detour into pandemic memories, uninvited invitations, and Marshall’s deep (and disturbing) appreciation for Shamrock Shakes. Apparen...
