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 […]

That’s NOT a poop joke, but there is poop talk in this hodgepodge episode. We hear about bloating, Dean Winters, gratuity, idling cars, and The Adventures of the Gummi Bears theme song. Also, Marissa gets bad news and speaks French. Why is January such a bummer? Ever had eggs in mayonnaise?

Wake up! It’s a new episode. We start with sirens, blueberry wine, and work-loathing. We talk about imaginary food, Marissa gets a package, and Pete explores the culture and types of napping. What kind of naps do you take? Do you remember our episode on Sleep Paralysis and Boring Dreams? Which celebrity should advocate for […]

Okay, so we had some sound trouble at the start, but we get it straightened out. Call it National Audio-Oops Day! Marissa covers how these fill-in-the-blank days get made and who’s behind the scheme. Also: typos, Skype reactions, childhood albums, and plugs! What national holiday would you make if it didn’t cost so much?

It’s Marissa’s birthday!! And don’t get on Facebook and wish her. It’s a secret. Pete treats her to the inner workings of one of her favorite celestial sites: the moon. We also have a call from Alex, a death from (not of) Michael Venos, a soda ice-breaker, and a little bit of dairy. Did you […]
