About I DON'T GET IT with Maria Manero
Each week, I sit down with a special guest and ask - Exes: why are mine crazy?, Making Friends: why is it so hard?, Growing Up: why do we have to?, Ghosting: why so mean?, Sex Work: how?; Heartbreak Pills? what?; Dick Pics? why though?; Relationships? how is love born? and how does it die? . These chats will make you laugh, cry, give a standing ovation and hopefully, gain insights that inspire you to dispel judgment and gain understanding and acceptance of each other. This show is for the curious. The misunderstood. For everyone who wants to be heard. This is where the listening begins.

A DRUG TO CURE YOUR BROKEN HEART. I DON'T GET IT with Brian D. Earp
They say falling in love is like getting high. Who are "they"? Well, whoever "they" are, they happen to be right. Your brain is very well versed in two things: pleasure and pain. And love, drugs, all the feelings, it's all just pleasure and pain baby. But what if there was an anti-love drug? A pill you can pop whenever your heart of glass breaks? Some medicine to wash away the remnants of a lover that left you with a love that you can't leave behind? This week I'm joined by Brian D. Earp, co-author of LOVE DRUGS: The Chemical Future of Relationships, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, Associate Director of the Yale Hastings Program in Ethics and Health Policy at Yale University to discuss exactly that. Does it exist? Can it exist? How would it work? Would it really work? You know, just some heavy duty, sophisticated questions of a certain calibre of intelligence. Be forewarned. Look, the point is, he is really smart. And he is here to talk to us about my favourite subject and I think possibly the only thing I ever actually talk about: love. Ok, let's go mend these broken hearts, shall we?

THE LIFESPAN OF A RELATIONSHIP: FROM BEGINNING TO END. I DON'T GET IT with Yasmeen Rafiq (CHAPTER TWO)
Last week we got together. This week, we say goodbye. Most love stories start and end this way, after all. Our journey through the lifespan of love with Yasmeen Rafiq continues in Chapter Two of "The Entire History of (Me) and You". Thanks for listening.

THE LIFESPAN OF A RELATIONSHIP: FROM BEGINNING TO END. I DON'T GET IT w/ Yasmeen Rafiq (CHAPTER ONE)
Who loves love? We love nothing more than that sweet, sweet Mary J. REAL LOVE (remix)! Some might say we're addicted to love. To those we say; and you're addicted to Haterade! To combat your negatory, schadenfreude vibes (you know deep down you're low key hate listening), today, we're rolling out a series of three eps about good ol' L-O-V-E! It's very Eternal Sunshine-y so maybe get your ELO on and prepare to be happy then sad then happy then sad then mad then suddenly it's 3AM and you're covered in Pringles crumbs and several unknown chocolate stains, listening to T. Swift and writing all of your exes handwritten letters by candlelight. I've NEVER done anything like that so i wouldn't know. To kick things off: today, we're joined by marriage counselor and all around love and relationship expert, Yasmeen Rafiq, as we take the arduous journey through the lifespan of a relationship. In Chapter One, we explore the meet cute. What makes us attracted to one person instead of another? What makes someone good enough to hook up with but not to date seriously? What happens when we first fall in love? Is it gradual? Is it instant? Does love at first sight really happen? Is love and marriage really just a matter of timing and convenience or is there really someone out there destined for each and every one of us? I know we've come and gone a lot lately. Such is what happens both in life and love. Thanks for sticking around. Now let's go fall in love, shall we?

CHEATING. I DON'T GET IT with "Linda"
Today we discuss the oft depicted hot mess that is CHEATING with "Linda". She's looking for a real connection - a monogamous one - but to her surprise, it seems she may have found exactly what she's been looking for - in the least likely of places (or so she thought). This is her story.

Sorry guys. Things are gwanin' over yonder at ye olde GET IT? I DON'T, so bare with us as we undergo a soft relaunch if you will.

GROWING UP. I DON'T GET IT with my Grade 8 Teacher, Mr. Martil & Grade 8 Classmate, Jan Michael
Growing up sucks butts. Today, I sit down with my Grade 8 Teacher, Mr. Martil alongside one of my Grade 8 Classmates, Jan Michael as we re-visit our former selves and ask - do we like the people we've become? Who were we then? Who are we now? And if I'm really 14 going on 40, then where's Mark Ruffalo at? All this and more on today's show! This one's for every teacher that shows up, every day. That listens. That cares. That sees the very best in us, long before we ever see it in ourselves. Thank you for being there.

GET IT. Friendships, Wine-O-Clock, Kah-caine and Acting Your Age with CHERYL, LUCINDA & MARIA
You know it, we know it, there was no I DON'T GET IT ep last week cause we were intro'ing GET IT which now leaves us in an ouroboros situation since one begets the other. My brain is short circuiting. But when is it not? Join us as we dig into the archives instead and discuss the ep about friends, how we all became friends in the first place, could we be friends with women who wear wine-o-clock shirts and jokes aside, catch a glimpse of what real friends look like. You know, the kind who, (you can endlessly take the piss out of), but will always have your back when someone tries to come at you. They're alright I guess. They just have terrible taste in movies - the one thing none of us will ever agree on and cannot avoid fighting about. If you've ever thought about Inception, The Prestige, or M Night Shyamalan, then please, email us at burningtrashfire@gmail.com and share your thoughts and feelings with us. Maybe we'll even have you on the show and air your Shia Le Beefs, whatever they may be. Thanks for coming by! And SORRY, UNCUT GEMS, I know, I know. Ugh

Introducing: GET IT. with CHERYL, LUCINDA & MARIA
Welcome people of the world! Thanks again for everybody round the joint tuning in. This week, in place of our usual interview episode, we are introducing you to our brand spankin' new "spin-off"/companion piece called GET IT. with Cheryl, Lucinda & Maria. (You'll remember them from the savage Kill Bill massacre on Ryan Ghosting). Each week, we'll be discussing the interview of the week and ask: does Maria finally get it? The answer is probably not - but fear not! Cheryl and Lucinda are here to help me GET. IT. Get it? If that sounds zzzz, don't worry, the M Night twist is that every episode will devolve into me fighting with Binger (Lucinda) about which movies are great and which are total garbage, which in turn will then devolve into us fighting over Inception and The Prestige. Super fun time and highly accessible and interesting to everyone, I know. Look, we'll also be talking about what's going on in the zeitgeist ok? Like this week, we're talking the Biebs and Selena Gomez. We call on our resident celeb gossip correspondent to fill us in on what's goin on there. She's got great intel and super credible sources. Ok, it's my Mom. And it is a disaster. More importantly, we talk about my most recent interview with Madam/Courtesan/Escort, Olivia LaRue and discover what we learned, when we listened. Regular interview show back next week and more GET IT of course! For now hit us on insta/fb @mariadoesntgetit and Twitter @MMdoesntgetit. Do you have an interesting story to tell that has left you thinking "yeah, i don't get it"? Email us at burningtrashfire@gmail.com and who knows! You might find yourself on the show, asking for advice from two sensible adults and one person pretending to be an adult but is more like a confused and panicked child that got lost at the mall. Enjoy this special intro ep to GET IT. Thanks, as always, for listening. (Welcome to the party, Cambodia, Thailand AND Mexico!)

DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH A PROSTITUTE AND WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A SEX WORKER. I DON'T GET IT with Olivia LaRue
Oh why hello again old pal/enemy/frenemy! Whatever the reason may be that has brought you here, may you stay long enough to remain a pal or become one. This week, I sit down with Ms. Olivia LaRue, "Madam" and "Courtesan", otherwise known to you plebes as a "Lady of the Evening" or fine, a goddamn Prostitute, Escort and/or Sex Worker. We talk about knitting, crocheting, scrapbooking and other fine hobbies. Just kidding, we obviously talk about big pimpin', spending cheese and B.L.A.D.s. Look, I have no idea what "B.L.A.D.s" are or anything Jay-Z is ever talking about because I have no idea what's going on at all times. Not to worry, Liv is here to the rescue and school me on the life of a Sex Working Girl. Please email us at burningtrashfire@gmail.com and let us know what you'd like us to try and get. Or, similarly, you can launch verbal missives at us on IG/FB @mariadoesntgetit or with the tweets @MMdoesntgetit. (Please don't) As always, thanks for listening, downloading, liking, rating, reviewing, following or deleting, blocking, disowning us. Now that you're here, you may as well stay. You might like it!

GHOSTED BY MY “EX” WHILE HE EXPLAINS GHOSTING. I REALLY DON'T GET IT with Ryan Ghosting aka "Mark"
Alright, fine, tardiness has always been a friend of mine. I'm leaving my life in your hands. People say that I am blind. Risking it all on a podcast, because as we have long established, it is a universal cry for help. Never you mind those naysayers for today, is the day, that we unleash the ol' ghosting episode. Featuring an exclusive interview with the one and the only, Ryan Ghosting, also known as one of my non-ex-boyfriend boyfriends (they're all exactly the same so it really doesn't matter which one). For further confusion, let's call him "Mark" during the course of this tell-all interview. He tells us: why ghosts ghost, how ghosts ghost, when ghosts ghost, what do ghosts want, and THE question of questions: when a person ghosts you, do they really care? (Spoiler: it's not great for humans with a bloody, beating, feeling heart). Here's the Shyamalan truth of it all - since this interview was conducted, "Ryan Ghostfart"/Current Zombie from "The Farting Dead"/"The Last of Farts"/"World War F(art)"/"I Fart Legend" and so on, once again, vanished into that good and cowardly night like the fart in the wind that he so truly is, therefore, it is unfinished. Fear not! Unreliable, inconsistent and disappointing men are as common as zombies in a zombie apocalypse so we are well prepared to "PIVOT!". Meet Lucinda aka "Binger" (only I call her that and she does not like it at all) and Cheryl aka "Che" (accurately pronounced "Shay", not "Chae", which is how I've been pronouncing her name for the last thirty years). I'm a great friend, I know. They'll be sticking around so you'll see them around the way. For now, let's stick to some good ol' Ghostbustin'! Warning: episode contains extremely savage "callin it like they see it truths" from our featured guests and the weekly idiocy you now expect from me, the same ol' G. Please listen, like, rate, subscribe, review cause does it matter? Apparently yes, yes it does. And join all your/my current friends, former lovers, future enemies and eventual strangers who you have no recollection of ever knowing who have all congregated on the following platforms: @mariadoesntgetit (Instant Telegrams), @mariadoesntgetit (The Telephone Book of Faces), and of course, @MMdoesntgetit (Elon's Rockin' Robin). Or, if you are so inclined, you may win over my heart by writing me a personal letter and electronically mailing it to burningtrashfire@gmail.com. OR, if you're Romeo and the dice was loaded from the start ready for some woo-ing, make me a Spotify playlist. Now you have all the secrets to my heart. Enjoy listening to the secrets of my past. It's funny, but then sad. An old fashioned, classic Manero. See you next week, friend.

HOW TO MAKE A FRIEND: WHY IT'S HARDER FOR ADULTS. I DON'T GET IT with Maggie Arai
Look, I know this is late. Like a week and a day late. I'm sorry. Give me a break! Just kidding, nobody even noticed a new ep didn't drop last week. Definitely not my Mom who isn't listening to the show because, "it's not her thing" or "she will later". Speaking of my only friend, my Mom, this week, we chop it up with Maggie Arai who founded Happier. What's Happier you ask? Thanks for asking. It's a meet-up group designed specifically for adults who are finding it challenging to make friends. Is it easier to make friends when you're a kid? Why? Probably because everything is easier when you're a kid. Why? Probably because you had things like hope, belief, imagination, courage, you know - all the things that life slowly strips away from you until you're dead inside. What? Am I lying? I mean, I guess you're either just dead inside or still hopeful but eternally disappointed so basically forever getting waterboarded on the inside. Is it still funny or has it gotten too dark? Correct, it was never funny. Ok, ok, let's get to it. Here's to old friends, new friends and those on the way. Remember Julius Caesar though? I should've interviewed him. Damn. He's both dead inside and outside because of friendship. Here's to you Julius. May you all have better friends than he did. Thanks for listening.

CATFISHING AND ONE OF THE YEAR'S BEST PODS: LOVE, JANESSA. I DON'T GET IT with Katrina Onstad
In today's epic semi-crossover event, we charter into the waters of the highly regarded podcast, Love, Janessa. Co-produced by the CBC and the BBC, Love, Janessa is a fast paced, edge-of-your-seat hunt for Janessa - one of the most used "identities" by catfishers worldwide. As the chase for Janessa unfolds, we are taken into the highly organized and sophisticated criminal networks that specialize in catfishing schemes. This ain't your MTV's Catfish folks! Together with Katrina Onstad (esteemed journalist and producer of Love, Janessa), we delve into how these catfishing schemes run, and ask: Is catfishing really just inception?, Who are most susceptible to being catfished?, Can catfishing ever be positive or justified?, Does love make fools of us all? And we examine how I would fare if I were to perform a Love Heist. Join us! It's a funny, sad, sometimes beautiful, sometimes tragic and always, a very curious ride. And of course check out Love, Janessa which is out right now! I swear it's good but I know my word means nothing to you so rest assured, it has been named as one of the year’s best new shows by The Guardian, Vulture and Esquire. See? I told you! Now, let's go fishing, friends and foes. Thanks for coming by. I hope you stay a while.

How the fuck did he do this? I do not get it is an understatement. (Read a book for once in your life! But really, you should read this one. Get it everywhere books are gotten or go to mammybook.com) For reasons you'll understand later, the O'Reilly 11 are: Sinead, Dara, Shane, Maeve, Orla, Mairead, Dearbhaile, Caoimhe, Séamas, Fionnuala and Conall.

IT’S GETTING HOTWIFE IN HERRE. I DON'T GET IT with “Synthea”
Salutations! On today's show, I'm talking to "Synthea". She's married, she's female, she's in her 60's and they're swingers! Shock and awe. Yeah, yeah, cause you're all a bunch of virgins. What do I know about swinging? About as much as I know about swimming. Look, did I once grab the last tether from an elderly woman while snorkeling in open water? Am I currently alive and churning out podcast episodes? We're losing focus people. The point is, today, we're asking: what's a hotwife?, how does swinging even work exactly?, why am I scared of sex?, what am I not scared of? and honestly though - when it comes down to it, what are we all really looking for? Let's talk about sex, baby (and other things too, ya pervs!). This is Synthea's story, today, on I DON'T GET IT, with me. Thanks for listening.

Trailer? I DON'T GET IT with Maria Manero
I DON'T GET IT w/ Maria Manero is a forthcoming comedy talk show featuring a host you may know from nowhere because nobody knows her and nobody cares! But it doesn't matter cause we're not here for that. We're here to take the journey with an idiot from burning trashfire to slightly hot garbage as she tries to make sense of the people and the world around her. Through a series of funny, honest, sincere and hopefully, at times, insightful conversations with experts on widely varying topics - from Exes, Family and Cheating to Growing Up, Farts and many others (yes, don't worry, we will be delving into Butt Stuff you perverts!), Maria, (that's the host, remember? Oh forget it). Look, the point is, she's confused about pretty much everything and the hope is, after getting schooled by experts, she'll be less confused. As a listener, you'll laugh, you'll cry. Then you'll laugh at yourself for wasting your tears and time on this dumpster fire they dare call a "podcast". But amidst the emotional meltdown you're now having, you might find that you've also learned something, and in doing so, have developed a greater understanding and acceptance of others.
