Y'all Heard

This week we tried something new. It didn’t work out so well, but it’s still recorded and here. Pete shares a song (“That’s what Love Can Do”) that’s been stuck in his head for many weeks, Marissa doesn’t understand why, and we do the usual nonsense– except Pete’s audio blows. He fixed it after the […]

This week we return to old form over Zoom to do a linked episode about toy brands responding to Blackout Tuesday and white supremacists using toy forums and fandoms to spread disgusting rhetoric. We also catch up a bit and freely admit that we phoned this one in, but it came out pretty good anyway. […]

Sorry for the noise peaks in the quiet parts of this week’s episode where Pete skims the surface of a unique ‘hysterical’ event that affected a school of students– enough to get it closed and ultimately sued. We break ice over cupcakes, Marissa needs her meds, and talk about our responses to stress. Have you […]

Do you love small talk? Wanna be better at it? Well we do, too, but not at the cost of ourselves. Marissa explains walking that tightrope. Pete asks about food for the start and icebreaker. Black lives still matter, but we’re editing away from home and don’t have the cool sting to start the show. […]

Find out what your favorite podcast hosts are doing to try and help the Black Lives Matter efforts across the country. Then we’ll provide some a little diversion from the social garbage fire of 2020 by exploring the trend called the Toddler Temptation Challenge. Marissa steals sips of alcohol, Pete is getting ads for MILF […]

This was recorded before protests, but we also didn’t want to leave you without some sense of distraction, at least for a few minutes this week. Somewhat related to events, Marissa digs into what it’s like to feel what other people feel and tries to identify if she is indeed an empath. Marissa makes toast […]

Does Maury Povich have any regrets? That’s the answer we set out to find, only to fall down a shallow rabbit hole of his life. We break ice over the topic of vices and we go off-topic about 37 times. Did you know about Connie & Maury? Do you like Showtime? Want Marissa to cross […]

This week, the audio is a little compromised and you get the sweet sultry rhythms of computer fan (with some music underneath to distract you) as we bring you a few tiny stories because we’re strapped for time. You may not learn everything about a topic this week, but you’ll catch some silly news you […]

In a focus-shift, this week we both separately watched the third episode of Goop Labs on Netflix. You might want to, too, to follow the episode a little better… or not. Things get complex and we consider whether there’s one right way to all pleasure. We also talk about female anatomy a lot, so… Pop-quiz: […]

This week Pete pushes Marissa’s buttons with an episode about what’s currently driving her nuts: people not staying home during the pandemic. We also discuss our new fashion line in this week’s icebreaker, Marissa questions her friendship with Pete, and we worry about Asian American Public Relations as 2020 marches on. Are you staying home? […]

Your hosts are in rare form today. Pete’s shooting off his mouth, Marissa’s shooting off her social distancing love, and neither one can remember titles to movies or TV shows. But that’s all okay because this week is really about seeing double– of yourself! Ahh! Doppelgangers: good friends or bad omens? You decide. Wish us […]

It’s a sneaky week as we learn about phrogging, which scatters into a few different directions, but not before we study how to ask the best first wish, find out how Marissa’s therapy is going, and hear what streaming trial Pete’s on. And what will be the verdict on ‘Butt Boy’? Have you seen it? […]

This week things bring us joy while we’re stuck at home, Marissa logs off to read, and we cover our virtual hangout. Then Marissa wades in the pool of exotic animals only to come up with some obvious results. Which animal would you try to domesticate if you had to? What’s bringing you joy? Wanna […]

While some of us are under quarantine and staying home, others are leaving the planet— find out who (duh)! Pete rambles on about just how much he’s enjoying being home and watching movies, Marissa doesn’t like being told what to do, and both of us miss our families. Are you related to your spouse? Are […]

‘I’m not going to ask how you’re doing. No one wants to know how we’re doing.’ The wisdom of Marissa leads us into an intro full of social questions, romance, and wet walls. All that before we get into digital dating. How is your relationship going? Have you DM-ed @rissvandal on Instagram? Got any ideas […]

As your favorite hosts lives reel from current events, Pete serves you three small topics and Marissa chooses the order – Sports, Social, Anatomy. Break ice over favorite curse words, shout out if you want some video content, and enjoy yourself with us. Got any show ideas? Are you doing alright?

With so many podcasts going remote, you’ve found the OG skypers Pete & Marissa. Today, Pete does that thing where you try to eat something in plastic quietly and slowly, but it never works. Sorry about that. They they talk cereal and mascots and the origin of TV advice and more. Can you write better […]

No usual sound cues, most of the ums left in, and all the class you’ve come to love. We’re bare like a baby’s butt. Speaking of which, that’s the topic this week. Hear us in our glory! What are your coronavirus fears? How’s your heinie? Clean?

We start off this week’s show with a thank you to our new patrons! The icebreaker is so easy, we get TWO; Pete discusses fear of sidewalk grates, which Marissa adds to her arsenal of fears; and we learn animal advice. Are you afraid of falling through sidewalk grates? What other irrational fears do you […]

To try and distract from some audio issues, we laid music on the second half of this episode, where Marissa grades luxury toilet paper brands. She’ll buy the cheapest paper, BUTT she still knows class when she sees it. Marissa returns from vacation, Pete falls for roasted broccoli, and plugs that won’t plug up your […]

This week Pete talks about the label Highly Sensitive Person and both hosts take a quiz to find out where they stand on the spectrum of sensitivity. Also, Pete and Marissa are very excited about Brahms: The Boy 2, they break ice over fashion deal-breakers, Marissa’s behavior is unacceptable, and she updates us on her […]

This week Marissa discusses some Barbies that could’ve been better, if we’re being kind. She also dishes about the stress leading up to her current Valentine’s Vacation and UN-PLUGS with a tirade against Frontier Airlines. Meanwhile Pete only made the Utah Jazz lose five games in a row by being a fan. What’s your weird […]

Pete uncovers some creepy new methods of spying on children in schools this week, and Marissa GOES OFF about the Super Bowl halftime show. Also coronavirus by association?, subtle superpowers, and TV show plugs. Do you wear a medical mask at the airport? Would you sacrifice your kid’s privacy for safety? Do you know how […]

The Queen of Culinary Controversy returns with a hot take on hot steak– Marissa examines the ways people view thoroughly cooked slabs of beef and her personal opinion on the matter. We also learn what animal heads our hosts would prefer, how Pete ate sooo much Oreo and how Marissa made herself sick on broccoli. […]

Pete obsesses over pigeons with hats this week and Marissa reluctantly indulges him as he digs into this disturbing trend in Nevada. In the meantime, Marissa seeks your help in cleansing a living space without smoke (bonus talk on the Patreon). Also, lots of sound drops, gym etiquette, and bad grammar. What kind of hat […]
