How many friendships were ended over the Myspace top eight? This week Annemarie looks at the rise of social media in the early aughts. Meanwhile, we may not be able to imagine the food scene without bacon or Food Network, but Alyssa looks back at how the 2000s were the formative years for these and other food trends.

Your Myspace Top Eight

In a totally normal sounding event, Alyssa gets into a shower-sized room to sweat under some infrared lights while dreaming of that one possibly hot Australian doctor who got away. Annemarie has a run in with a witch and looks at some Post-It Note art – two wildly different things that she manages to weave into one story.

Dateable Australian Doctors

This week Alyssa sits down with her coworker and friend Emma. She's sharing a few dating stories, an embarrassing story involving her parents and a nightmare, and the time she got to perform with a show with a singer she liked thanks to a few chance encounters.

First Times: Bad Dates and Performing with Emma

Alyssa might be dying in this week’s episode, but that doesn’t stop her from telling us about her experience using ClassPass. Annemarie attends a pasta cooking class (is this the new bread episode?) and is now basically a chef.  Don’t judge the hosts, 2020 has already been 6 months long.

A Gentleman in Nike Shox

 It's our first episode where we take a look a random topic! Annemarie delves into the history of workplace sitcoms and wonders how they'll evolve. Yes, she does talk about THE OFFICE. Meanwhile, Alyssa took this opportunity to research white collar crime, (Honestly both of our hosts are completely predictable.)

That's What She Said

Alyssa goes to the theater to see Cats – a spectacle so trippy, confusing, and downright awful that she declares it a must see.  You’ll probably walk out of the theater wondering about normal cat anatomy and feeling vaguely threatened by Dame Judi Dench. In a very off-brand move, Annemarie sees former Jackass star, Steve-O, do stand-up comedy where he talks about doing the most ridiculous stunts. There’s a lot of poop involved… so if that’s not your thing, know that it most definitely is also not her thing.

A Cat Is Not a Dog

We're making plans this week. There are some exciting changes coming to Overenthusiastic Underprepared, and we can't wait. We're also setting some personal intentions for 2020 and sending some positive energy into the world.

Kicking Off 2020

The hosts sit down in Alyssa’s childhood bedroom with their long-time good friend, Ana, to talk about a few of Ana’s first times. The conversation quickly derails as they pass one microphone back and forth between all three of them, and they end up covering some pretty weird topics.  Alyssa and Annemarie are sorry for what you’re about to hear – but in a much more real sense, they aren’t sorry at all.

First Times: Music Festivals and Bodily Fluids with Ana

You can have a little decade-in-review content, as a treat. Alyssa and Annemarie have ten completely unrelated questions they're answering to reminisce about the last ten years. Memes, obsessions, funny memories of each other, and much more.

Time Is a Construct

After a bit of time away from recording, Alyssa and Annemarie are back and better than ever (read: so exhausted from life that they’re one bad joke away from a mental breakdown)! Alyssa attends a Steelers football game with her family and consequently considers becoming the next big TikTok star – a path she had not considered before. Annemarie gets crafty while making a candle and tells facts about… sperm whales? We aren’t sure who let these hosts have a podcast, but here we are.

It Be Like That Sometimes

Annemarie accidentally attends her first EDM concert this week, featuring flaming drumsticks and unexplained dirtbikes. Alyssa goes to an advanced screening of the tv show DICKINSON and gets a taste of the VIP treatment, which she really recommends if any other companies want to treat her like a VIP.

Dirtbikes and Dickinson

This week’s episode is a special one! Annemarie met up with two of her friends to listen to them tell a story of one of their First Times – their first time jumping out of a plane thousands of feet in the air, to be exact. You know, just your casual, everyday sort of activity. They’re on this podcast, so I guess you could say they lived to tell the tale.

First Times: Emilie and Jayne Skydive

 After a week in Alabama, Alyssa shares the mistakes she made on vacation. (She tried to go on a date for the podcast, and let's just say it didn't go to plan.) Fresh off jury duty, Annemarie talks about Pod-ception, when she, a podcaster, went to a podcast live show to talk about on this podcast. Trippy, we know.

The Paul Blart of Segues

The hosts are comin’ at you this week with a special Halloween episode in celebration of Annemarie’s favorite holiday. Annemarie visits the City Market Catacombs in Indianapolis and tells herself that it is not haunted (but it’s probably haunted). Alyssa finds herself in the dark of night, in a field, in rural Massachusetts looking at a totally normal spectacle: Ponyhenge.

A Field of Spooky Horses

Alyssa gets dressed up for cocktails where the "real adults" go for drinks (listen after three weeks of birthdays, she's pretty poor and had to work with what she had. Let's give her a break). Annemarie goes to Dinosaur World. But even though dinosaurs are awesome, this theme park might not be.

Not Another Birthday Episode

Hosts Annemarie and Alyssa have no idea what they’re doing. From nose piercings to tarot readings, from sensory deprivation tanks to crying at work, these long-distance BFFs do something new every week and call each other to share all the awkward and ridiculous details. Overenthusiastic | Underprepared is a weekly comedy podcast with new episodes every Monday...If the hosts can figure out how all the equipment works.
