Y'all Heard

Welcome back, to us and to you. This week Marissa tells us about some fast food controversies. We spend a while catching up from our Mother’s Day til now, and then we learn about horse meat, racist sandwiches, and a whole restaurant team that hasn’t heard of the KKK. What’s your fast-food-enstein meal? Do you […]

Marissa is dreaming of better working conditions, so she’s going too tell you about some. She’s also telling you about why she’s tired of working the way it is. We talk about a Moshe Kasher run-in, product-based movies, and new shows on Amazon Prime. Are you burned out? Do you work outside of America? What […]

This week marks our second technical snafu over the 5+ years of the show. With only a corrupt recording left, we decided to rerun our most-listened-to episode ever… If you have heard the song, you can get some background. If you haven’t, you’ll hear it everywhere after this. It’s ‘Old Town Road’ day on the […]

What do Kathy Bates, Frankie Muniz, and Drew Barrymore have in common? Well, did you read the title of this episode? They all did mobile game ads. But how? Why? Well, we don’t know the answers, but this episode contains a little bit about the business that probably lends itself to an obvious one. Also, […]

What are podcasts doing for you? What are they doing to you? Marissa digs into the pros and cons of having people talking into your head all day. The show openings are getting rough, but we forge ahead through listener mail, awards shows, the existence of peanut butter rice krispie treats, and Marissa training to […]

Okay, the title is a little deceiving, but how could I fit the long title, “Y’all Heard about this woman who thinks she’s the missing child Madeleine McCann?” We spend about 20 minutes catching up before we dig into the Polish woman who believes she’s a world-famous missing British girl. Join us for a journey […]

Travel back to 2017 to hear our THIRD episode. We were raw even back then, talking about sensitive topics that affected us deeply.

Instead of one show this week, we give you FOUR! This is a preview of our Patreon shows, which you can enjoy for as low as $1/month (but $2 would be cool, too).

This week we welcome Richard to find out all about his time as a party Elmo. We talk about characters, spokespeople, and the craft of mascotting. Marissa is still obsessed with MILF Manor, Pete is having a bad day, and Richard pretty much rules. What product mascot would you change? Have you been a mascot? […]

Short title, long episode. This week Pete takes a bite out of liberal America’s favorite candy coated chocolates, outlining their history, varieties, controversy, and essence.

For our audio heads who want to stay pure, this episode covers the act of babies racing. Who? Why? When? We also talk about watery salad, what gigs we would be good at, and a bit more on caviar. New this week: we ventured into a video of the show, but we didn’t really plan […]

This week we chit chat a bit up top about medication adjustments, Magic Spoon, Showtime, and Alex!

Would you live through a Cheer or Die test? What do […]

Spoiler alert: They are not naturally occurring caves, but Marissa gives you a stinky whiff of the cheese caves of America. Why do they exist? Who controls them? What are they?
