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 […]

Does Maury Povich have any regrets? That’s the answer we set out to find, only to fall down a shallow rabbit hole of his life. We break ice over the topic of vices and we go off-topic about 37 times. Did you know about Connie & Maury? Do you like Showtime? Want Marissa to cross […]

This week, the audio is a little compromised and you get the sweet sultry rhythms of computer fan (with some music underneath to distract you) as we bring you a few tiny stories because we’re strapped for time. You may not learn everything about a topic this week, but you’ll catch some silly news you […]

In a focus-shift, this week we both separately watched the third episode of Goop Labs on Netflix. You might want to, too, to follow the episode a little better… or not. Things get complex and we consider whether there’s one right way to all pleasure. We also talk about female anatomy a lot, so… Pop-quiz: […]

This week Pete pushes Marissa’s buttons with an episode about what’s currently driving her nuts: people not staying home during the pandemic. We also discuss our new fashion line in this week’s icebreaker, Marissa questions her friendship with Pete, and we worry about Asian American Public Relations as 2020 marches on. Are you staying home? […]

Your hosts are in rare form today. Pete’s shooting off his mouth, Marissa’s shooting off her social distancing love, and neither one can remember titles to movies or TV shows. But that’s all okay because this week is really about seeing double– of yourself! Ahh! Doppelgangers: good friends or bad omens? You decide. Wish us […]
