Y'all Heard

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 […]

This year, Marissa made us recap top fives from 2021. Pete didn’t want to edit, so the sound effects are live and so is the foolishness. What are five things you enjoyed in 2021? What’s Marissa’s birthday tagline going to be??

It’s the Christmas episode, and you won’t go until you get some of this figgy pudding, plum pudding– who knows?? Marissa does! She explains the intricacies of hearty desserts that are common around Christmas. Have you had plum pudding? Will you call Almond the car guy?

Forgive Pete for being a little hoarse, but this episode he’s visiting the social world of singing at night in the winter. Whether it’s going wassailing, joining a parranda, or carrying a horse skull, there’s something for everyone. We talk Pete being sick, Marissa’s making teas, both dish on Christmas movies, and we get a […]

This week we slip on ice, right into the holiday season. Ever wonder how they get made? Ever wonder why you see the same people in them? Ever want to make one? We’ll answer some of those questions. Plus, Pete has a mouse, Marissa has mulled wine, Alex is on parental leave, and we remind […]

In a special activism episode, Marissa tells us all about how the US is screwed when it comes to parental leave from work. We also reflect on happy Thanksgivings, hear from Alex and Cassie, interpret a dream, and plug our Patreon. Donate now to get your Christmas swag! Did you take family leave when you […]

With a studio audience of uneaten turkeys, Pete and Marissa talk about reaction videos on YouTube. What are they? Why do people like them? We also talk about what we’re thankful for and avoid talking about how we are. How are you? Having a happy Thanksgiving break? What was your favorite food on the table?

‘Ello there. Marissa examines the posh accent that people sometimes use… but why? This is part one in a Thanksgiving pre-record double-header, so excuse our brevity. We hope the passion for knowledge still shines through. What superhero personality would you makeover? Can you do a decent transatlantic accent? Show us in a call, or…

We fell behind on some calls, so we start the show catching up, including a surprise from an old friend. Pete’s topic is the 1948 film “Bill & Coo,” which features an all animal, primarily bird, cast. Can it sustain for the runtime? Is it as charming as Captain EO? What did you do with […]
