This is a fun one, listeners. We talk board games, vodka, fruit, Muppets, and of course the main topic. “Why do people think owls are smart?” leads Marissa down a magical path of discovery, and Pete is along to terrorize it. What animal stereotypes do you believe? What board games did you like? Can you […]

Do you ever feel… not yourself? Maybe you’re a walk-in soul. This could be the most terrifying episode we’ve done if you are, but join us anyway to find out about traveling souls, contracts, and beyond. Marissa’s thirsty, Pete’s waiting on glasses, and so many metaphors. What animated character did you look up to? Do […]

Congrats, you’re in a simulation! Marissa wishes the (celeb) Smith’s really were and discovers the real name of a famous Puerto Rican performer. Pete’s been up to very little, but he’s excited for the WNBA return! The two share the mic to talk about if or why or how we may be living in a […]

Well, this week is a rerun. Not because we didn’t try. Marissa presented a compelling and action-filled episode, but her audio didn’t record, so we’re going to July from 2 years ago, where we both were doing a lot better than we were for today’s recording. So settle in for a trip down memory lane, […]

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 […]
