The Northern Aggression Podcast

In this behind-the-scenes bonus, Marshall and Gunter reveal how the podcast was almost named “Sorry Shasta.” It all started with a test episode, a passionate Planned Parenthood rant from Marshall, and an innocent question from Shasta’s daughter that no one was prepared to answer. Oops. Tune in for the origin story that could’ve changed everything—and probably traumatized a child in the process.

It’s a bonus episode, because we love you (and because Season 2 is almost here). Marshall and Gunter attempt to tell the story of how the podcast got its name… but staying on topic is not their strength. Expect tangents, laughter, and the kind of chaos that somehow makes everything come together. Hopefully this tides you over until Season 2 kicks off—soon-ish!

The Northern Aggression Podcast is back, and somehow, we’ve gotten even more unhinged. Marshall’s rants are hotter than Sherman’s march, Gunter still can’t stop him, and no topic is safe. Season 2 kicks off with perfume ads, Chili’s waitresses, and a full-on identity crisis about pronouns—oh, and it’s dedicated to Jimmy Carter. Buckle up, because we’re just getting started.

Season 2 will return June 5, 2025.

Somehow, we made it through Season 1—unfiltered, unhinged, and mostly un-canceled. Thanks to everyone who listened, laughed, cringed, and questioned their life choices along the way. We’re grateful (in our own weird way), and we’re just getting started. Season 2 is coming… and it won’t be any safer.

Still stranded in Detroit airport, Marshall and Gunter keep the people-watching alive. Marshall questions women’s fashion, swears he won’t be offensive (lies), and roasts Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson — including his belief that the lyrics are ‘I never stray too far from the salad bar.’ Meanwhile, we finally confirm Gunter doesn’t actually listen to him — and can you blame her?

Marshall and Gunter are trapped in Detroit airport for 8 hours and making the most of it. From Marshall’s security adventure to world-class people watching, nothing goes unnoticed. They hype Max & Erma’s chicken tortilla soup, rave about the only tech Marshall respects (thanks, Iceland), and recount the passenger meltdown on their flight home. Airport chaos at its finest.

Marshall and Gunter take their chaos international — straight to Iceland. Gunter's unexpectedly furious at the sheep, while Marshall can't get over the questionable tourist fashion. Of course, Marshall takes a jab at Gunter for ignoring the scenery. New country, same nonsense.

Marshall roasts Gunter’s accent, Gunter fires back about his mumbling, and somehow, they end up debating the TV choices at a Korean chicken joint. Marshall brags about his decade-old wardrobe, they both admit they’re incapable of ironing, and Gunter relives past animal-related trauma. It’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and it’s exactly what you expect from them.

Marshall and Gunter hit the road in Ohio, but as usual, the real journey is the conversation. Gunter tries—really tries—to keep things rational, but Marshall derails it all with a rant comparing faith to weeds. If that’s not enough, he also goes off on professional development activities, because why improve yourself when you can just complain? Buckle up—this one goes sideways fast.

Gunter dives back into the internet’s finest headlines, but the real chaos starts when she casually admits to putting sugar in her mac and cheese. Naturally, Marshall loses his mind. As always, he takes things a step too far—whether it’s roasting Gunter’s food choices or going off on Southerners who panic at the sight of a snowflake. It’s unfiltered, unnecessary, and absolutely on brand.

It all starts with a simple slip of the tongue, and from there, it’s total chaos. Gunter’s misspeak sends Marshall spiraling down a rabbit hole of childhood memories, random stories, and unexpected tangents. Along the way, he reminisces about a long-lost friend, somehow ends up at a state math meet, and things only get weirder from there. Buckle up—it’s a wild one.

Gunter brings the headlines, and Marshall brings the rage. This episode covers the hard-hitting issues: a woman caught in a high-stakes straw heist at Fazoli’s, Marshall’s ongoing vendetta against the Welsh, and his latest unhinged theory about how ice is secretly a communist plot. It’s chaotic, it’s questionable, and it’s exactly what you signed up for.

Marshall and Gunter take a trip to a Livermore Valley winery, but the only thing flowing more than the wine is Marshall’s frustration. As they navigate swirling, sniffing, and the absurdity of overpriced grape juice, Marshall is pushed to his limit by the pretentiousness of it all. Will Gunter keep things classy, or will this tasting turn into a full-bodied rant with notes of rage? Pour yourself a glass (or don’t) and tune in.
