Deep and Funny

Ever started a podcast thinking you’d talk about your week, but accidentally unpacked your entire emotional landscape instead? Same. This week, Rachelle opens up about juggling too much, therapy breakthroughs, and how her love language might just be “introducing everyone to everyone.” From axolotl trivia to polyamory realizations, this one’s equal parts deep dive and delightful chaos. Come for the laughter, stay for the life lessons (and Rachelle’s accidental TED Talk).Have a question or want to share a story?Connect with us on Instagram @deepandfunnypod or email us at deepandfunnypod@gmail.com.

What do your emotions say about you? This week, Rachelle and Alyssa take the PANAS test (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) and compare results—one of them lands in the “passionate but stressed” camp while the other is officially the “cheerful cheerleader.” Curious? Take the test yourself here: https://psytests.org/emo/panasen.html.In true Deep and Funny fashion, the conversation spirals into unexpected territory: Rachelle giving out vibrators at a fish fry, the saga of “purse Advil on steroids,” and what it means when your whole candle is on fire (spoiler: it’s not good for wax longevity). Plus, you’ll hear about cacao ceremonies that taste like dirt, floor dancing as therapy, and whether we grew up in “ask” or “guess” families.It’s part science, part chaos, and part free vibrator giveaway.Have a question or want to share a story?

Did you miss us? We took a tiny unplanned break (small team, big lives—we’re doing our best!), but we’re back with Season 2 of Deep and Funny. In this episode, Rachelle and Alyssa swap stories about breaking furniture in the most embarrassing ways, Chipotle mix-ups that prove “Alyssa” is apparently the most popular name in town, and why driving makes one of us more tired—not less. We also dive into chaotic family birthday parties, the strange joy of road-trip naps, and the never-ending debate over whether book clubs should meet weekly or monthly.It’s candid, it’s ridiculous, and it’s exactly the kind of deep-and-silly ride you’ve come to expect.Have a question or want to share a story?

In this episode, Alyssa and Rachelle catch up after a chaotic couple of weeks filled with data mistakes, caffeine crashes, proposal stress, and a Super Bowl that no one seemed to care about. Alyssa shares the emotional weight of her recent grad school rejection and the struggle of balancing her old job with her new one, while Rachelle opens up about her anxiety spiral and how she’s been trying to quiet her brain through sleep and journaling. They dive into cozy habits, weird grocery store encounters (someone read her list?!), lice horror stories, romanticizing everyday life, and how to appreciate your body for just doing its job. Plus, Rachelle gives an update on her poly journey and her budding connection with someone new.Oh, and yes—there's a dad who can still do the splits.🧠 Disclaimer: We know it’s not Einstein’s theory of relativity that says “an object at rest stays at rest…” That’s Newton.

Do you ever poke fun at your friends and wonder if you went too far? This week, Rachelle and Alyssa dive deep into the nuances of joking, annoyance levels (on a scale of 1 to 3, obviously), and why being perceived in public is basically the worst. We talk about pet-sitting a very anxious golden retriever, cry about how hard it is to have big feelings, and go on a spiral about language, specifically why "arbitrary" might not be the best word for it.We also tackle:The difference between habits and routines (and why calling routines “lazy” got under our skin)Why some sunglasses are basically invisibility cloaksTrauma dumping vs. genuine connectionThat time Alyssa almost peed her pants, but still hasn’t peed outsidePlus, we bring back our favorite card deck for a few self-reflective questions, and Rachelle shares a beautiful story about missing her cousin, Tyler.Have a question or want to share a story?

Ever feel like your life is one long “oops”? Same. This week, we're serving you part two before part one (don’t worry, it still makes sense—we think). Consider it our Tarantino era.Rachelle and Alyssa are back after a six-week recording break, and we dive straight into chaotic life updates: creepy parking lot encounters, disappearing cottage cheese, Costco betrayal, and a grocery run from hell. Alyssa talks about starting her new job, battling imposter syndrome, and the totally normal meltdown that followed. Plus, we explore routines vs. structure, how to budget your willpower, and why high-functioning anxiety deserves its own little award show.Later, we head down PolyLane™ for an honest and hilarious check-in on Rachelle’s polyamorous journey, complete with Spotify playlists, relationship hierarchies, and the ongoing quest for compersion (aka the opposite of jealousy). Alyssa asks thoughtful questions, and Rachelle overshares. It’s perfect.🎙️ This one’s part therapy session, part catching up with your hilarious besties. Part one will drop next week, so don’t panic—we’ve got you.Have a question or want to share a story?Connect with us on Instagram @deepandfunnypod or email us at deepandfunnypod@gmail.com.
