The Suggestion Box is Dan and Martín's weekly deep dive into pop culture, headlines, and whatever else lands in the box, plus advice for your messiest situations.

What's in the box:
This week Dan and Martín pause the usual format to celebrate Dolly Parton, sharing personal memories (including one very starstruck backstage encounter), digging into deep cuts like her 1967 debut Hello, I'm Dolly and 1977's New Harvest... First Gathering, and spotlighting the Peabody winning podcast Dolly Parton's America. They get into her legacy beyond music too: Dollywood, the Imagination Library, her role in funding COVID vaccine research, and yes, her actual truck stop (glittering rhinestones, guitar shaped chandeliers, and cinnamon bread included). They also recommend the movie Dumplin' for anyone wanting more Dolly on screen. Rest in peace to a true icon. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.

Martin and Dan dig into the week's biggest headlines, remembering Hayden Panettiere, breaking down the Lindsay Clancy courtroom drama (with some strong personal theories), and warning listeners about the scam wave hitting podcasts like Good Hang with Amy Poehler and unsuspecting online donors alike. Then, Dan spotlights new artist Aaliyah Sheffield, whose album he's obsessed with, complete with LA concert details, while Martin makes his case for why TJ Maxx deserves way more respect than it gets. Finally, a listener asks how to handle a friend who conveniently "forgets" her wallet every time the bill comes and Dan has a story of his own that proves she's not the only one pulling this move. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.

What's in the box:

Martin and Dan kick off with a wild only in America moment that spirals into a Luigi Mangioni update and a rundown of how broken US health insurance really is. Then Dan puts a true crime docuseries in the box, the one where a host revisits small town murder cases with fresh eyes, including a wrongful conviction case that'll make you rethink everything. Martin counters with a full Pamela Anderson renaissance: the Netflix documentary, The Last Showgirl, and a deep dive into her Baywatch to icon era. Finally, the advice segment tackles a big move for a promotion, and a listener asks the real question: is this still a Mariah show? The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.

What's in the box:

Martin and Dan get into some real estate horror stories (hoarder houses, a body left for three months... yikes) before diving into the good stuff: they're both obsessed with Amy Poehler's Good Hang (that Rosie O'Donnell episode! the surprising Gwyneth Paltrow one!) and Kiki Palmer's Baby, This Is Kiki Palmer podcast. Then it's advice time, Benjamin from Pennsylvania needs help reading the room with a maybe into him friend, and Elizabeth from Austin pitches a new segment idea: embarrassing albums the guys were too ashamed to admit they loved as teens. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.

What's in the box:

Dan and Martín are back! After stepping away from The Mariah Report to focus on life, the guys return with a brand-new show built for talking about everything they love. In this first episode, they dig into Mariah Carey's Daydream 30 anniversary re-release (the demos! the Rotterdam concert footage! the secret rock album we're still waiting on!), spiral into a full Madonna deep-dive sparked by Confessions 2, and wrap things up with an advice segment tackling a listener's roommate drama over borrowed clothes and missing snacks. The box is open, the mics are on. Let's get into it.
