Welcome back MEIA Mob. It has been almost a year, and we owe this episode to you.

Episode 163: Lemon Be Extra Me

It has been a while, but Marisa and Joyce are back with another update episode. The dynamic duo discuss autism, MariLand, Marisa's "love life" among other things you may have missed, if you haven't been keeping up with the Mendezes.

Episode 164: Is This Thing On?

After almost five years, Marisa Explains It All is back! Our season premiere is more of a serious one and it’s really for the day ones. Joined by co-hosts Bridgette Well and Rachel, Marisa recaps what the hell happened these last few years and why doing the podcast was not even a thought for most of them. We also hear from our boo Joyce, who now [very smartly] lives in Mexico. Next week we’ll get into some much-needed shenanigans – including a juicy story about a wild night with a 90s superstar.

Episode 3.1: Guess Who's Bizzack

Wow, we’re really back back! On this new episode of MEIA, Bridgette and Rachel’s rap knowledge gets put to the test – which leads to quite an interesting confession from the latter. The girls also discuss how Dipset launched Mari’s career, why living in Los Angeles has been amazing for self-discovery, your 30s being SO much better than your 20s, navigating late-diagnosed neurodivergence and more. And of course - the juicy story about the hookup of Mari’s actual dreams.

Episode 3.2: A Surgence of Neurodivergence

This week on MEIA, we successfully teach Bridgette how to use ‘pause,’ so we have that going for us. We also talk about how vulnerable it feels to be podcasting and what a lesson in self reflection it is, our thoughts on the new season of Love Is Blind, dating people with trauma and falling into the act of people pleasing. Lots of gems being dropped!

Episode 3.3: Love Is Bland

Do you know what your friends actually do for work? Mari, Bridgette and Rachel attempt to explain each other’s jobs, which leads into a deeper convo about what their passions are and how to manifest your dream life. We also reminisce about the days of business casual wear in the club, Mari shares her latest scheme (dubbed a ‘DAP’ - Dumb Ass Plan, lol) and our weekly Oh Naur! segment ends in a hilarious plumbing fail. 

Episode 3.4: Business Casual In Da Clurb

Happy St. Patty's Day! The girls are celebrating the holiday by reflecting on traditions and who is actually Irish – which leads into some of Rachel's lore about her former monk grandfather and Mari's great grandfather who had mad kids named Phil. We also learn of Mari's run-in with our show's fave guy Jadakiss, how her DAP went, what drugs we've all taken and the safety of sex with someone you really know! 

Episode 3.5: Can You Phil Me?

In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden ways childhood experiences shape adult relationships. The girlz unpack the complexities of emotional neglect, self-awareness and personal growth – questioning why seemingly "small" childhood experiences can have such a lasting impact. Like Bridgette said, just because it doesn't look like a "Big T" trauma doesn't mean it doesn't have a profound effect. Of course we also discuss extremely important topics like what words we all failed in a spelling bee with and how Rachel can name all 176 (?) countries...lol. Tune in!

Episode 3.6: Big T - Not Da Lil One!

Major news - Mari FINALLY hit the studio with Ty Dolla $ign. This week we have an update on his new album as well as A$AP Rocky's new album, plus the girls discuss what defines a 'bad bitch,' finding your way to being truly unapologetic – especially when being misperceived, doing pilates with Renee Rapp and more!

Episode 3.7: All These Bad Bitches Always Unapologetic

New month, new Monday, new MEIA! This week, Mari shares some of her origin lore with an unhinged story about her dad reading her diary – which brings us to another unhinged story of Bridgette's dad dealing with her hangover one night in college. Dads and Dad Theater: a tale as old as time. We also discuss friendship breakups and how they hit harder than romantic splits a lot of times, and we reminisce on a niche late 80s/early 90s classic series, Wee-Sing. 

Episode 3.8: Dad Theater

The good news is – Rachel got her visa in Brazil! The bad news is she also got food poisoning sooo it's Mari and Bridgette holding it down this week! (Sandra was also out so we had some reeeeeal DIY lighting going on.) We have some 4/20 and Easter convo, Mari shares her thoughts on Ty Dolla $ign's Coachella set, we introduce our Yay You Guys! segment – which comes with some amazing news from both, Mari goes into her brother's breakup and how it's bringing up a lot of triggers around family dynamic for her, soul families vs. real families and of course, Aur Naurrr! 

Episode 3.9: The Mari & Bridgette Show

The whole gang is back! Rachel is here and recapping her adventures in Brazil, which leads to a convo about our travel woes over the years. We also discuss niche tourist attractions, ghost stories and spooky dream interpretations, the post-college transition to adulthood and more! And of course we have our weekly segments, Yay, You Guys! and Aur Naur! 

Episode 3.10: Where My Squirrels At?

In this episode, we get real about something way too many of us have experienced: medical gaslighting. Bridgette shares a super frustrating story about going to the doctor to check in on her ADHD meds, only to be met with a woman who straight-up refused to acknowledge her *documented* ADHD diagnosis.

That convo spiraled (in the best way) into a deeper discussion about how women – especially neurodivergent babes and folks with invisible illnesses – are constantly dismissed or not taken seriously by healthcare professionals. We talk about what medical gaslighting looks like, why it’s so common and how freaking exhausting it is to have to advocate for yourself just to be heard.

If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office feeling like you imagined your own symptoms or had to fight to be believed, this one's for you. You're not alone! 

Episode 3.11: Duty of Care

We've been OUTSIDEEE and we have the stories to prove it! From mgk's birthday party to Beyoncé's tour to a throwback festival with a [failed] mission, we're recapping it all. We also have some dating updates (or lack thereof), a beautiful friendship moment and of course our Yay, You Guys! and Aur Naurs!

Episode 3.12: Flat Out Like A Lizard Drinking

This week, we're diving into the wild world of reality TV – from debating whether we’d ever star in a reality show to sharing a few hilarious stories about our own surprise cameos. The main topic of the week, though: the ethics of AI and ChatGPT. We explore the environmental impact of artificial intelligence, the ethical dilemmas of automation and why a bot’s IQ is nothing without EQ. Tune in!

Episode 3.13: The Trolley Problem 2.0

After missing a week because of Marisa's 67329th illness, the gang is back! This week, we talk holiday break, Chris Brown vs Soulja boy and more.

Episode 75: GAYlor

You know that age ol' saying that we all say after binge drinking... so Marisa is at that point in her FUNemployment adventures, so we'll see how long this "no drinking" thing lasts. *Hint* probably as long as her diets.

Listen to this episode to hear what went down this week that caused Marisa to go into a stupor, including a bunch of BET Weekend festivities, continuously curving dudes, and fighting other people's battles, while with good intentions, ends up digging up old skeletons in the process.

If you're new to the MEIA Mob, this will be a treat, and if you're a faithful listener, first off - thank you, but secondly, you will be shaking your head and laughing as everything comes full circle. 

Unfortunately, we were Zombsless, but we had special guest, Sophie Jackson, who is an International Music Publicist, all the way from across the pond, in London.

Episode 76: I'm Never Drinking Again

We're back! Well... kinda.

Keeping the streak alive for not having the whole crew, Marisa, Ariela and Prime hold it down this week, and the MEIA crew is joined by Super Fran.

Marisa discusses her time at the G Funk chronicle documentary party, and Uncle Snoop slipping up, which leads us into discussing how a lot of rappers, actors and athletes can be sloppy on social media. We also discuss the positives and drawbacks for getting married for green cards (in case you were thinking about dabbling in the quick come up scheme).
 
Marisa also talks about her new boo (or not really, you be the judge) and how he fucked up the whole night all night. Fellas... take notes. But Marisa's story begs the question - is there such a thing as too much affection too soon? Let us know in the comments.  

We also talk about Marisa's successful diet and workout regimen, DNA testing for child support, Marisa's "unwanted" attention on IG, dating outside of your preferences, Nicki Minaj, The Carter V, and we get into emails.

Episode 78: Cheesecake Kisses

Like the title suggests, our fearless leader is back, and boy are we excited!

This episode is filled with new Marisa conquest stories all from her whore/bore tour (you decide). We talk threesomes, STDs, and Marisa's Chicago and New York adventures.

As for real topics, we (sort of) cover the VMAs, theories on Power and a breakdown of last week's crazy episode, and the differences between white and black people cookouts and other functions.

We end the show on a real somber but serious note when it comes to mental illness. We highly suggest paying close attention to the end, and make sure you are checking in with loved ones, friends and family.

Things get a little uncomfortable for Mari as MaZombz sits and listens to the ladies discuss eating ass and golden showers, but we push through.

Episode 103: Moobs ft. KiKi LaChe’ & Momma Zombz

Welcome back, MEIA Mob! Y'all I'm exhauuusted planning Marisa's birthday, and it's still three months away (laugh cry emoji!) We talk upcoming festivities, Marisa's upcoming wedding (she's marrying Nova), and how Pam is so not on board with her daughter becoming a vegetarian. We also discuss Joyner Lucas, and how we feel he's pretty disingenuous with all these damn causes he supports, but hey, that's just our opinion. John Singleton's movies gave Marisa her first introduction to LA, and he produced Joyce's fave Baby Boy; we are heartbroken by his passing and pay our respects. Mari fired her therapist, thank you, next!

Episode 153: & Amsterdam

Welcome back MEIA Mob. Sorry for the week hiatus, but we're BACK, straight off of Marisa's birthday weekend (month, Leo season - whatever she wants to call it.) 

Unfortunately, without Mal this week, we start the episode breaking down the birthday festivities, while simultaneously talking about how PMSing literally ruins your life every month for a few days. (Fellas, if you're listening PLEASE take notes and take care of your queen.) We then pivot to Tory Lanez's rise and fall during COVID starting with Quarantine Radio and now the current situation with Megan Thee Stallion. 

Later in the episode we also discuss Marisa's longing to experience Route 66, and Joyce's adventures there, rampant racism, xenophobia and plain ignorance throughout the world, why T.I. is literally the WORST, more of KimYe and emails!

When we face challenges in life, we seek answers from people we believe can help us. When tragedy strikes an exclusive retreat with a self-help superstar, many people are left to wonder: how far is too far? James Arthur Ray was an Oprah-endorsed self-help teacher who achieved fame, fortune, and influence. But friends and family members of his followers questioned his unorthodox methods, and tried to stop him. From Wondery, the makers of “Dirty John,” “Dr. Death,” and “The Shrink Next Door,” comes a story about the dark side of enlightenment. Hosted by journalist Matt Stroud.

Episode 161: 'Dez Of Our Lives

Welcome back MEIA Mob! As August is drawing to a close, we check in on Marisa, Joyce and Mal to see how they are holding up mentally. We also talk about WAP and if it should be touted as the "woman's anthem", and if women are facing unfair scrutiny as a double standard because of the song. We also discuss the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory situation, and how Meg is not being properly protected and how the narrative is stacked against her.

We also talk about Marisa's bag, her book club, Drake's genius marketing, Joyce's campaign for AOC to become president, The Tax Collector, emails and more!

Episode 162: NAP (New Ass Podcast)

Marisa Mendez and co-hosts Bridgette Well and Rachel are navigating through life as late-diagnosed neurodivergent girlies in Los Angeles following a pandemic and an election that was just…yeah. We’re coping how we know best - making jokes of it all and offering a few gems we’ve learned along the way.
