From here on out - we’re doing 2 hour podcasts! Marisa and Joyce kick off the first hour by talking about their current love interests. Marisa gives us on insight on her fly out.. which resulted in strictly cuddling and no hoe down throw down. The girls also share their advice for a loyal MEIA listener who reached out for help regarding a toxic relationship.

For the second half of our podcast, Fran and Compton artist Garren stopped by, and he dropped some gems on us: the day you stop growing should be the day you die. He talks to us about his father, growing up in the church, and creating his own genre of music - universoul. Garren’s not like most RnB/soul singers out there; he listens to Bon Iver (how do we pronounce that.. we still don’t know!), gospel, and rock music in his spare time. You can check out his current EP “Normal” out now.

On this week's episode of Marisa Explains It All, the gang is back and we're joined by a special guest - India Love! Marisa starts us off by letting us in on her new game plan... she's cutting off all her options..er... right after this fly out. Fran gives India and Marisa some sage advice on love and dating: sometimes it's best just to take things slow. We talk dating in the industry, relationships, India's double digit Instagram lockouts and more. India also shares with us what we can expect from her new music, working with will.i.am, and her upcoming tour with the Black Eyed Peas.

PS: if you didn’t know by now, Joyce really wants you to vote.

Marisa also needs relationship advice. MEIA Mob, what do you think of the texts Marisa has gotten from this dude. Also, does Marisa need to end her whore tour for good?

First off, thank you so much for the feedback from last week's episode. Sometimes we all need a reminder that what we do isn't in vein, and other people may depend on us, even though we don't see it.

This week, we recap a little bit of last week's episode, and talk about Marisa's journey moving forward. Nicki vs Cari comes up for a bit, but then we get a little geeky when we talk about how writers, producers, credits and ghostwriters work, and a behind the scenes lesson on what publishing is, and how that works.

Okay, so this has been a crazy week. The "clear people" (as Fran says), are wild'n out, Eminem is taking shots at the world, MGK is spitting fire, G-Eazy is involved, somehow, Joe Budden and Eminem are adversaries - so much going on, we had to push two hours for this one.

Like the title suggests, our fearless leader is back, and boy are we excited!

This episode is filled with new Marisa conquest stories all from her whore/bore tour (you decide). We talk threesomes, STDs, and Marisa's Chicago and New York adventures.

As for real topics, we (sort of) cover the VMAs, theories on Power and a breakdown of last week's crazy episode, and the differences between white and black people cookouts and other functions.

We end the show on a real somber but serious note when it comes to mental illness. We highly suggest paying close attention to the end, and make sure you are checking in with loved ones, friends and family.

A special shout out to Abstraq RRR! Check out his track "Show Out" at the end of the episode!

The gang is back.

I know you missed us, and we apologize for being out last week, but we start off with vaginal care, then get into the Tsunovi Gang benefit concert - shout out to the bay for coming together, and a special shout out to Kehlani and Solange for their efforts. That parlays into a discussion about coping with tragedy, and the crew shares their experiences with losing a loved one.

Obviously Nicki vs Safaree had to be discussed, and Marisa recounts her experience with Nicki early on in her career, and provides some insight with regards to her character, and why she may be acting out. But since Tyga got caught in the crossfire, we shout him out for his career comeback, and we talk about cosmetic surgery. Shout out to Care Credit!

We also talk Guapdad scamming in Universal Studios, Marisa's type, Marisa's companion pass come up, counterfeit money and more!

Marisa's birthday week is finally over, so we recap the crazy week starting with Marisa's birthday dinner, the club, Marisa's birthday day, Marisa's ocean adventures, her hood tour trip to the bay with Nef The Pharaoh, and Marisa also shares some STD advice that she got from Amber Rose.

Towards the end of the show, we are joined by Bay Area recording artist Symba, who just dropped his EP "Came From Nothing" which includes rising single "Fashion Nova" and second single "All Dogs Go To Heaven". We start on some super cool normal stuff, and then get super bay area, talking about the music industry, and tips on how to get noticed.
