A comedy podcast where hosts Nick and Alex play games, complain about anything and everything, and discuss more topics than there are flavors of ice cream! You are cordially invited to the Ice Cream Parasocial, every Tuesday! (no ice cream was harmed in the recording of this podcast)
Capitalism sucks, Noodle is good. Please don't send a severed house to our van.
Nick and Alex belatedly celebrate Halloween by reading each other some creepy— and not so creepy— stories from the internet. Sit back, relax, and prepare to have an unsatisfying relationship with a breakfast mascot! PS- If you'd like to share your chilling tales with us, send them to icecreamparasocial@gmail.com!
Nick and Alex are going back to their roots with another episode of Guess That Craft, this time with a spooky twist! It's time to delve into the world of Pinterest users' twisted machinations, so grab your favorite gnome, pour yourself a cup of hot glue, and settle in for a wild ride.
We're finally back from our hiatus-- and we have some tales to tell from the other side.

It's an Ice Cream Parasocial election special episode! This week, Alex decided to take Nick on a tour of lesser-known United States political parties and figures-- so that, together, they can rank them on that one internet meme scale. Tune in to find out why Nebraska is the worst state, why we'd like to time travel back to 1976 for like ten minutes, and which political party classifies marijuana as a “hard drug”. Nick's laptop ate our video, but be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for our future videotaped podcasts (and check out our past ones while you're there!).

Nick has never listened to a true crime podcast before, but Alex has been a fan of them for a while-- so when Nick decided he wanted to check one out, he came straight to Alex to pick an episode out for him. And oh boy, did they bring back a doozy! In this (not monetized) episode, Nick live-reacts to a story Christine Schiefer tells on And That's Why We Drink about serial killer Nannie Doss, also known as "The Giggling Granny". Nick realizes some things about his childhood, Alex realizes some things about how We Really Do Live in a Society, and they both learn some pretty bad cooking tips. Check out ATWWD here!

Nick attempts to sell Alex on a very lovely house that is not weird or cursed in literally any way. Whether you're listening to this from your breakfast nook, pit into the underworld, private boat, or marble tower, we're happy to have you along on our tour of a house in which nothing bad has ever happened.

Craigslist van conversion classifieds are... unique. Some are thorough and informative, some are cryptic, some are wholesome fun, and many are extremely and irreparably cursed. Join Nick and Alex as they find a beautiful spaceship, discover a new dog breed, and learn why someone wants to get "that THING" out of their sight.

This episode, in honor of our anniversary, we put our five year relationship to the ultimate test: BuzzFeed quizzes. *This episode was recorded the week of 9/7/20! That's why things feel a little out of date, and why we say that our anniversary is "coming up" when it happened 9/13. We meant to release this last week, but because of effects from the wildfires here in Oregon that did not happen. That's all!* Follow us on social media @parasocialpod on Twitter and Instagram, and subscribe to us on YouTube for full English-captioned episodes. We also now have full transcripts for each episode on parasocialpod.tumblr.com as well, so check that out, too!
