Y'all Heard?

Marissa takes a wide view on the breeding habits of Nick Cannon and the possible reasons he may be making so many humans. Pete can walk again, Marissa is looking for Harris Berger, Venus wants you to talk about your pubic hair, and more. What’s your take on Nick Cannon? How do you kill lantern […]

Pete uses a recent CNN Business article as a jump-off to talk about personal experiences, trends, and changes in self-checkout. Marissa talks the sanctity of security doors, Pete fell down again, and we both scoff at CNN’s headline punctuation. Are you an APA expert? Why do you like your favorite store?

Spoiler alert: They are not naturally occurring caves, but Marissa gives you a stinky whiff of the cheese caves of America. Why do they exist? Who controls them? What are they? Marissa has all the answers, plus creepy neighbors, the movie Men, and more. Have you seen Men? What’s your favorite cheese?

Life happens when you’re not podcasting, and ours got too busy, so here is some content that would be on Patreon, but is exclusively on the main feed. If you like it, join up. If you don’t, tune in next week for Cheese Caves or Nick Cannon… Which would you prefer? Is this okay since […]

We take a spin in the old time machine, back to episode SEVEN of the pod. A nice episode where we reminisce over classic toys we loved and Marissa gets in a vampire lore battle at work. Were you scared that it was actually Halloween? What toys did you love?

Pete digs into a 40’s-famous Pennsylvania scifi writer who some say rocked the culture. We also blow through the BTS breakdown, Pete’s blank lifestyle, and aspirations. (View rock book page 1 and 2 here.) What kind of famous writer would you be? What other alien races are we missing? What workplace object helps you hear […]

After a glorious vacation, we return to the show with misplaced and unclear vigor. Marissa digs into one of her childhood heroes and learns that just because you have a kid, you don’t have to take care of it. We talk action movies, Smithville NJ, and more. What’s your action movie go-to? Is it punk […]

What if aliens are already here and helping us find solutions for climate change? One doctor poses this idea and more. Plus Marissa covers a woman obsessed with recording things in one of the most cumbersome ways of all time. Plus, what would your TV network look like? Do you have a fun detention story? […]

This week comes with a warning: there is talk of suicide and dogs, possibly linked. Pete takes us to scotty old Scotland to explore Overtoun Bridge, which has claimed the lives of fifty dogs. But why/how? We also discuss reality show ideas, racist friends, JUAN!, and dirty ferrets. Have you been to Scotland? Do you […]

You know how the world is so great, you kind of need more of it? Enter the lower-case-m metaverse. Marissa goes from a strong desire to make an avatar to how to eat chicken nuggets online. Pete is still in a mood, we take some calls, and Marissa doesn’t fall asleep. What would your avatar […]

Holy crap. Have you seen The Batman? Pete has and he won’t shut up about latte art now. Who does it? How do they do it? Why do they do it? We’re trying to get reviews and ratings, too! Not to mention WNBA teams, skinny-fat, calls from James and Alex, and so much more. Do […]

Marissa digs into the recent past to talk about the Kony 2012 movement and the aftermath. Pete knows too much about it from the jump. We also talk house hunting, soda flavors, letters, Steven Seagal, and more. What’s your favorite letter? How’s your week going? What did we miss on Kony?

By request, this week we talk about the Ice Capades! It’s older than you think, it may not be what you think, and it’s been adapted in ways you may not know. Diversions include thanks to our Patrons, pyramid dramas, cold brew rage, real estate jerks, Batman bromance, and, yes, the Mario Brothers. What would […]

Marissa sacrificed her TikTok algorithm for this episode, where she examines the trend of young people crying at their phones for everyone to see. Spoiler alert: We still don’t get it, but there are plenty of things to learn along the way. We also hear from Alex, discuss lame news topics, and catch up on […]

Because of the holiday (and Pete taking a break for it), we’re bringing you a short show– no ice-breakers, calls, plugs, just cold hard facts about messages being sent to aliens, Haunted Lives, carnival-core, and deli-core. Crack open a couple eggs and eat the rawness of truth. What would you send to aliens? Where’s your […]

Do you have any idea what Pete is talking about this week? City-dweller Marissa needs some introduction to the trend of memorializing the dead on killing machines. We also talk a little Easter, revisit video podcasts, hear from Alex, and more. Do you have a memorial decal? Would you get one? Are you dead?

Has anyone ever told you not to stare at the sun? We’re here to tell you that you should. April fool! Marissa examines the alleged new-age benefits and weights them against the science. We also talk potatoes, pineal glands, and plugs. Do you stare at the sun? What potato form could you eat forever? Are […]

Pete talks about anti-technology movements, kind of. He mostly covers the Luddite movement of yore and what Neo-Luddism looks like today. We also talk about bad business practices, how meetings suck, and bubble tea rage. Is it weird to talk about Luddism on a podcast? What is a half-dick-pic? Should we worship nature?

Why are high heels so uncomfortable? Why do some feel obligated to wear them? Marissa will figure it out! We talk loving empty bars, Pete’s birthday, Marissa’s food history, yearbook superlatives, and more. Why do you wear high heels? Did you receive any superlatives?

This week we welcome loyal listener and caller Cassie to sit in while we talk about Self-Care and how it stacks up against Selfishness– complete with a silly quiz at the end. We also talk about things that are supposed to make us happy, dry eyes, and our new Patreon content. Have you joined yet? […]

Marissa wants you to know about these cookies. All about these cookies– the decadence, the commercials, the rise, and the fall. We also talk space soda, other people’s problems, Cassie’s cooking, and much more. Have you tasted space soda? What should Pete do to distract him from co-workers’ problems? Have you heard of News Radio?

Smashing together renouncing citizenship and mermaids, we continue sailing on as we look into international waters. Do you know the surprise about guano? Pete went shopping, Marissa ate too much, and Alex continues to bring cheers. What’s your ideal lunchable? Would you live on the high seas? Does Marissa’s boyfriend have a gluten sensitivity?

This week Marissa talks about renouncing citizenship, as it pertains to Olympian Eileen Gu. There’s all the usual stuff, too– Pete talks the WNBA, we plug gossip, Alex drops in, and Marissa goes on a date with her mom. What would it take for you to renounce your citizenship? What’s your best made-up Olympic sport?

This week we explore the Animal Planet special Mermaids: The Body Found. But how fake was it? Aquatic apes? Sonar killing whales? Ratings, ratings, ratings! Ice breaks over a life-based video game, Pete’s dumb, and Marissa’s frantic. Have you seen a mermaid? Can you see underwater? What’s your life’s video game name?

Believe it or not, this is NOT a Pete episode. Marissa digs into one of her many volumes to explain a bit about the phoenix, the raven (this is a real bird, we know), and the siren. We also talk kitchen appliances, Pete’s lunch trauma, and plugs! Aren’t sirens mermaids? Were you distracted by Pete’s […]
