In Season 8, Episode 4, your favorite hosts pretend like they created a brand new segment called "Stars!

We do it all for a laugh. And that's what you missed on Glee!

Episode 2 Flops so the rest of the season can flourish. WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF LOVE AND SUGAR. The Maxi Pod talks nonsense about some urban legends surrounding Valentine's Day and reviews the actual best romantic comedy movies just in time for the full embrace of this season of made up Holidays for women. HOT TOPICS ARE BACK and Rachel and Maggie are making a huge deal out of most things per usual, particularly giving up Beyonce tickets to those who deserve them most. A lot of scuttlebutt on Hailey Bieber's bob, Kylie Jenner, the Navarro Cheer drama, the Grammys, Rihanna and more.  Don't assassinate our character it's just Girl Talk! 

In a completely unexpected and not ever been done before twist of fate, the Maxi Pod is making a rare off-season return to pull your favorite ugly girls out of their own January dread. Start your Joe Burrow count for 2023, and get your pale ears ready for an inspiring and heroic hour of talking us all of the ledge. This episodes includes but is not limited to: hot topics that Maggie may or may not care about, acting 101, unsolicited advice on how to toxic-ly positively will yourself through this god forsaken month, a deep dive into The Challenge: Ride or Dies, and the first Destiny's Challenge of 2023 (The year of FloRida) and Season 8.  Trust us, this is just the thwack you needed.  Share with a friend we are open for business. 

The Maxi Pod has returned for a special Season 7 Bonus Episode to run amuk with their top picks in this year of music, TV, movies, books, tik tok and of course the World Cup. Find out if Maggie's Spotify Wrapped was as unhinged as 2021 and if she is still into Vampirism. Also listen to find out if Rachel declared it the year of Midnights or Renaissance. In a twist that no one saw coming, these two already best friends were completely *nsync on their top TV show of the year and the rats are absolutely going to hate this announcement. They also selected the "Run Joey Run" of 2022 which will be an ongoing tradition henceforth. Surprising to no one, Justin Timberlake was mentioned for the 100th consecutive episode but surprising to everyone the name Ne-Yo was uttered for the first time in podcast history.  Of course we couldn't leave 2022 behind without the most intelligent and idiotic Destiny's Challenge of Year! Although Maggie is no longer butthurt, she had a lot to get off her chest and all we want for Christmas is for the uneducated to stop gassing up JC Chasez. Thanks for an amazing 2022, we wanna go all year longer. 

Although everyone counted us out and NO ONE believed in us, The Maxi Pod is successfully closing out Summer 2022 and Season 7 as we transition into Cuffing Season aka Jail. For anyone who is trying to wed us, listen closely to the Maxi Pod's Official Guide to LOCK HER UP for all of the men who have received way too much grace this entire season. This episode also features a bonus segment entitled "Is it a Banger?" as your two favorite reality show pundits review the couples competiting in the upcoming seasons of Dancing with the Stars and The Challenge: Ride or Dies. In addition to the aforementioned creative and thoughtful segments, Rachel and Maggie couldn't end the season without some top notch discourse on recent pop culture topics including Harry Styles being possessed by the Dark Hold, Adam Levine being worthless, confusion about the Monarchy, and our educated critique of the Kardashians' recent condition. That's a rat on Season 7! We are verklempt, but the Maxi Pod will return. Thanks for listening thots,

After an unforeseen hangover thwarted last week's recording session, the Maxi Pod returns for its PENULTIMATE episode of Season 7 to get rid of their summer FUNK and to mix Glee/the Office metaphors and motifs.  The episode starts off with a Renaissance Redaction and a pitch perfect harmonizing of the Zodiac signs (in order). NINE is MALIGN, so that means it's time to rank!!! Rachel and Maggie spend most of the episode ranking current and evergreen pop culture moments such as JLo's Wedding Serenade, Kanye being the WOAT, Dark Brandon, Summer House, Southern Charm, The Bachelorette, K Fed, Addison Rae's embarrassing parents, and if you had Justin Timberlake's Career on your Maxi Pod Topic Bingo Card, you win again.  This episode's Destiny's Challenge will really give you something to think about, like what do you do when the bullies are right? Timeliness is next to godliness so listen immediately or feel our disapproval.  & that's what you missed on Glee! 

The Maxi Pod is back in their freakshow element as they react to the news of Kim and Pete's breakup and also to Beyonce's Renaissance Part I Album. And TYRA MAIL RETURNS so enjoy some unqualified dating advice. You will absolutely love this episode's stupid & uncultured takes, a Flavor of Love corner, thirst for Beto O'Rouke, Kevin Richardson worship, and much much more.  SEASON 7 IS COMING TO A CLOSE SO CATCH UP ON ALL NEW EPISODES BEFORE OUR GRAND FINALE! 

The Pod Goddesses are back after taking many weeks off poisoning their bodies to cover blazing HOT topics such as: The Challenge: All Stars Season 3, Vanderpump Rules & the life lessons that comes with binging 6 seasons of it, the abuse of Gabby and Rachel (Bachelorette), Stranger Things, Marvel Gurl Summer, and Lea Michele.   Destiny's Challenge took many unhinged twists and turns and turns out Rachel and Maggie are free speech girlies who will not stand for flappers and their kind. Not even God can judge us. ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF THIS MASTERPIECE AND TELL A FRIEND

The epitome of a classic Maggie and Rachel messaround, Season 7 Episode 6 provides a (Glee) Mashup of Utter Nonsense & Astute Observations. Reflecting the ups and downs of life lately, this episode tackles a wild range of topics including "Beat Your Feet" Gate, The Kardashians Season Finale, JLo's Netflix Documentary, Vanderpump Rules, Roe vs. Wade being overturned, Stranger Things, and new music from Beyonce, Chris Brown, and Drake.  These two brunette tricksters are positively bedeviled...  Enjoy and share! 

We love spectacles and we can't be stopped! Another birthday and another reason to give unsolicited advice. Enjoy "The ABCs of Getting Older," some spicy Liam Payne/Harry Styles takes, and just straight up Glee from your two favorite dumb bitches. SHARE IF YOU CARE!  

Maxxinistas, you asked and we delivered. After 6 seasons, we are finally giving men the podcast platform they deserve. In this episode, the Maxi Pod is featuring not 1, but 3 straight men to discuss a wide ranging list of topics, from war to birth control, from ghosting to graphs, from disney princesses to rap music. Open your third eye and educate yourselves through the male gaze.    After kicking out the men to talk about them behind their backs, Maggie and Rachel discuss the first 4 episodes of the The Challenge: All Stars, and give their shakiest Destiny's Challenge in History. They are giving credit to eggs and tweens where it's due and recapping the Kravis wedding. OUR RANGE IS ASTOUNDING. Good luck! 

The Maxi Pod has returned after another unexpected hiatus to finally recap the latest season of Summer House, the Ultimatem on Netflix and the new season of the Kardashians. Kris Jenner is cheaper than a therapist so follow along as we use reality television themes to project our own insecurities onto people we will never meet. And a brief update on the Kenny Powers type from our fever dreams. Enjoy, subscribe, share! 

Enjoy some nonsense to fold your clothes to as Maggie and Rachel talk like nobody is listening. Episode 2 aka our "spicious flop era but in a fun way" covers a healthy range of topics, including but not limited to: going solo/third wheeling at a wedding, local restaurant name dropping, justice for Nick Lachey, American Idol flops, Miley Cyrus, combining friend groups, Selena Gomez, revenge, period talk, the truth about being single, and of course Justin Timberlake.  We also answer some timeless Tyra Mail! Don't take us to jail.  Enjoy, subscribe, share and if anything offends you it was just a skit! 

The mean girls have bees in their bonnets and are back for Season 7 to warm up and rebuke this cold weather.  Your suspicious hosts are gatekeeping and making a case for Spiderman and Beychella at the Oscars while wondering, have you ever chosen violence at a work event? A lot happened over the last couple of months, so come for the 50 cent fandom and stay for the recaps of Clayton's Bachelor season, Euphoria and the Super Bowl Halftime performance. Don't forget to get your ass up and work by reading books to understand the origin and logistics of Destiny's Challenge. And just like that, we are excited for the opportunity to warm up. 

The Maxi Pod's Annual End of the Year Pop Culture Round Up Maggie and Rachel reveal their Spotify Top Artists and absolutely UNHINGED top 5 songs and unfortunately Maggie has to go straight to jail.  Top TV Shows of 2021 and The Maxi Pod's favorite binges of the year although if you are a fan of this show you already know Tik Tok Trends that had us in a chokehold AND THE MOMENT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL YEAR: THE BEYONCE, KELLY, AND MICHELLE OF 2021 Life would suck without the Maxxinistas!!
