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?

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?

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.
