Y'all Heard?

Detective Marissa solves the case of the missing basketball hoop, and the perpetrator is shocking! Pete talks about the Enhanced Games and the details you may not know about. We also talk about enhanced powers we’d like, mom hot takes, and more. Who are you rooting for this WNBA season? What enhancements would you like? […]

Marissa’s taking us on a ride this week, profiling the raw deal of Darius McCollum. We also talk about phone companies, Pete bought a wood chipper, and Marissa is really OKAY! How would you sentence Darius McCollum? How would you sell a new phone company?

Marissa’s moving and it ain’t easy, and Pete wishes he was retired. We talk about collectables and then a man who took collectable cards too far. We learn all about how cards are valued and the controversies surrounding those methods. Do you like Justin Timberlake trolls? How would you rob a bank? What’s your best […]

Due to some scheduling issues, we’re releasing a re-run this week from March 2020, where we had a lot of fun but don’t remember doing it. There are lots of 2020 references, so travel back to a time of uncertainty and quarantining… No usual sound cues, most of the ums left in, and all the […]

Marissa is in turmoil, Pete is at the dentist, and Long Island is (was) under siege. Listen up for details on all of this and the nerdy things we do. Do you bite things with your front teeth? Do you have a lead on a rental near Hershey? Do you own a black jumpsuit?

Marissa dishes about her disdain for the alternative halftime show and her adoration of slam poetry. Am I kidding about that last part? Alex leaves a voicemail, Pete talks too much, and both hosts try to figure out why anyone would like Kid Rock. What did you do for the Super Bowl?

To avoid the obvious crumbling of society, we cover NBA Mascots, like the two weirdos featured in this episode’s picture. We touch on snow, wish you a happy Groundhog Day, and find symbols we’d like to see from aliens. View the pictures from this episode. Who’s your favorite featured mascot? Did we go too hard […]

Stranger Things is over, but some people will not accept it. Marissa fills us in on conspiracy theories about the final season. Also: she gets older, Pete can’t remember anything, and we resurrect some animals. How was your break from us? What did you wish happened in the Stranger Things finale?

In this not-safe-for-kids holiday episode, Pete offers some hidden meanings in Christmas classics. Neither host can see properly, and one can barely speak properly. We’ll be back from our holiday break in January. Until then, what secret meanings do you see in holiday specials?

What’s going on with these glasses? What’s going on with eye glasses? How are people surviving in a world with blurry vision and scarce coffee cups? Do bears serve you coffee in the morning?

This week Pete talks about how e-scooters and e-bikes are getting kind of annoying– I mean dangerous. With injuries, deaths, and sales on the rise, who’s to stop this micromobility revolution? Pete also talks about shameful secrets, Marissa contends with Mormons, and Marissa finds something new in common with her parents. Do you have a […]

Believe it or not, this is not a Pete episode. This time, Marissa tells us how she was surprised by dong on TV and the research she did on what’s allowable on HBO. How does SAG feel about it? How do others feel about it? And most importantly, what do you need to add to […]

Your favorite podcast hosts come together to discuss some confusing horror characters– Glen/Glenda from Child’s Play and “it” (I guess?) from It Follows. What would you make the new Fall flavor? Do you think Pete actually saw It Follows? What are you doing this Halloween?

Leading up to the Hallo-day, we dip into the famous cryptid, the Mothman– the sightings, the social influence, the unanswerable questions. What cryptid would you prefer to run into? Is a moth a bird? How do you feel about metal butts?

In one of our best cases of “what you didn’t need to know,” Marissa introduces us all to Target’s Lewis, a jack-o-lantern, who has allegedly taken the world by storm. Pete discovers the identity of a beloved cookie and Marissa’s selling pumpkins again. Who would you make your Halloween mascot?

What exactly is it that these media people have been talking about for the past five years (or more)? Pete explains the Deep State while Marissa sounds off. What kid’s meal toy do you remember most? Are you part of the Deep State?

This episode we talk with Garfield about his experience as a rideshare driver. No, not the cat– a real human! We look ahead to autumn, Pete talks about a gas station, and we laugh at things along the way. What are you looking forward to in fall? Have a rideshare story to share?

While Marissa’s traveling, let’s hear about one of her topics related to her travels. The reason this is a rerun is not related to Marissa traveling, though. It’s Pete’s fault. Hate our reruns? Are you on our Patreon, where Pete will release a stupid replacement episode?

Do you need videos that tell you how to behave like a decent-ish human being? If so, Pete has the source for you. We also talk about Marissa’s pumpkin growing journey, our latest lost episode, and what we’d do with our own well-funded YouTube channel. What would you do? Do you subscribe to Marissa’s substack? […]

Okay, this episode isn’t actually about Annabelle and her cursed history– it’s about whether or not she killed a man this year. We do learn a bit about her history, as well as Marissa being gang-stalked by bugs, Pete being confused and frustrated, and a WNBA team name ice breaker. What would you name the […]

It’s like we never left! But we did, so thanks for still staying subscribed.

Do you know about growing things? How was our break for you?

We’ll be mostly off for June, but we won’t leave you without a nice special that updates you on several topics we’ve covered over the years. Would you go to work dressed as a furry and bite people you don’t like? Did you like this style episode? How do you feel about Spain?

Were you trained by the CIA as a child? One way to find out is by listening to this episode, where Marissa examines some tiktok theories that are somehow related to liminal spaces.

Marissa is here to talk about a French culinary practice, Pete is here to be horrified, and both will share which food makes them feel horrible. Plus, for the first time ever, we try a new icebreaker theme. What do you think of it? What do you want to consume whole? Are your bones crunchy […]

Pete shares his own conspiracy theory about how brand crossovers are contributing to the crumbling of society. Marissa’s not on board. A Michael and Alex call to check in, Pete fights about a toilet, and the universe is still against Marissa, bleeding her dry this tax season. What’s your ideal brand collab? How unreasonable is […]

Marissa gets to dive into a QAnon theory this week, one with intentionally crappy graphics and dollar-store masks. Pete’s there, too. Do you think conspiracy theories are whos, not whats, like Marissa’s subconscious? What did you think Frazzledrip was?

This week we sort of just move around the idea of subtitles or closed-captions. We can’t be sure if there’s a point, but we did it. Marissa’s fighting bugs, Pete’s doing laundry, and Alex is fighting his last name. What’s your favorite marching band instrument? Do you use subtitles/captions? Do you need a copy editor […]

This week we begin with a little song for our Patrons. After some catching up, Pete talks dolphins and how they’re messed up, just like humans can be. Or is it more terror per capita? What animals do you not like? Who’s responsible for gravel-snow on the sidewalk?

Well, well, well. We made it back (albeit a bit late)! This week Marissa tells us all the weird stuff about the cybertruck, the visual abomination that people keep buying for some reason. We catch up a bit on life, as well, so just hit play and we’ll do the rest. Do you own a […]

Sorry, everybody, but we have to dip into the archives this week because Pete’s tied up, but we have one of our first Christmas episodes. Plus, Pete ruins one of the silliest Christmas movies you can’t find to stream anywhere. We’ll be back as soon as we can with a new holiday bash! Stay tuned […]

Have you ever seen an ad with a superhero? What if the ad was a superhero? Pete explores a few titles and heroes that were made to promote a brand or product, while Marissa cringes the whole time.

Have […]

You think your sperm is better than mine? Oh, wait, it IS better than mine, according to some banks.

What […]

Can Pete stretch this topic out to an entire show? It’s a rambling one, where we discuss what things can be haunted, what makes something dead, and how magic is in the eye of the beholder. You’ll also learn where Bruce Lee is buried. Have you ever had a haunted machine in your life? What […]

It’s here: Oreo Coke. And we’re trying it live! After that, Marissa shares a bit about what orcas have been up to. You know, their trends. Is Free Willy just as deranged as Flipper? Is Oreo Coke a hit? What animal phrases do you like? What do you think of our unsolicited opinions on Jenna […]

Pete likes Starburst water, Marissa went canoeing in e coli, and we both want Marissa to get work. Do you have […]

Listener– my uncle, mentioned at the beginning, passed away. This is a little haphazardly edited, but I’ll be back to a production genius next time. Anyway, I (Pete) cover the 2024 Olympics… pre-Olympics, I guess? Listen to this, then go back in time a little. What sport would you train a lifetime to compete in?

Marissa explores her experience and research regarding evangelism while trapped in a ride-share. Are these isolated incidents? Turns out it’s a trend, and one that’s not against the rules. Pete has no AC, Marissa has bugs, and we both have a fun time making this podcast for you. What would your Uber theme be? Where […]

It’s hot, summer’s here, and we’re talking about these monoliths that have appeared in the news and why no one has any good theories about them. Also, keep your eyes out of Marissa’s yard! Does your butt surprise you? Do you have any fun monolith theories?

This was supposed to go up 2 weeks ago. Sorry!! This episode we break the news that we’re going to bi-weekly (and not the twice a week kind). We also talk about how gross hot tubs are and why pigeons bob their heads. Did you think we quit? Who’s fault do you think this gaff […]

It’s a summer-style rerun of Marissa saying “dog” a lot. Before your next BBQ, get some knowledge to drop. Marissa goes deep into the case(-ing) of a division of the American Meat Institute.
