This Show Has Everything

We like big books and we cannot lie! Come to listen to Hillary cosplay Weird Al and stay for the wheel of books! We had several great options but let the hand of destiny (an arbitrary wheel) make the ultimate decision for our next TSHE Book Club selection. And the winner is…you’ll have to tune in to find out! In small talk, it’s your basic, run of the mill, Hillary explains her absence monologue....

This week, Bobby, Ann and Meredith attempt to clean out the old (French) Tickler File by spinning the Wheel of Topics. Alas, we added about as many topics as we covered.  TSHE Recommends Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story iNaturalist Connect with the show! This is your show, too.

The gang is out wrangling their lives this week, so let’s listen back to an episode from May of 2022, where the TSHE book club convenes to discuss the smash hit Verity by Colleen Hoover. Why bring this back now? Because the movie adaptation has just been released! We’re still trying to decide whether or not to watch it, but if it’s half as crazy as the book, we’re in for a wild ride. Original show...

This week: How our bodies are betraying us. (And in some cases, the battles we’re winning while we lose the war.) Bobby is a Newsmaker with a finger bang injury. Meredith is very happy about her armpits. Hillary just wants to watch TV in bed. And Ann’s head is nearly fully magnetized—and she is rizzed up. Plus: Harder to Breathe is a good workout playlist song. (That doesn't necessarily mean it's...

Hillary’s brain is 87% pop culture knowledge and questions, and her cohosts are kind enough to indulge her interest. This week we’re gossiping about the celebs we love and sometimes hate through the lens of the Emmys! For example, has Mariska been involved in a Ponzi scheme? Has everyone had a facelift? Ann’s YouTube stalker was very funny. What was Shailene Woodley wearing? Most importantly, we’r...

It’s time for a good old-fashioned post-Labor Day TSHE family catchup this week. Meredith’s body tried to kill her again (skip 30 seconds x9 if you don’t want to hear about it). Ann does not allow children to win in this house. Bobby spent Labor Day laboring, unfortunately. Hillary’s getting ever closer to embracing her nudist destiny. And we promise that we WILL post the Question of the Week (we’...

We know you’ve been hitting refresh for this episode, and it’s finally here! Our recap of The Great Minnesota Get-Together! And did we have a time! Jean (!), calves named Jolene, cheese curds, Calvin Coolidge, Amy Klobuchar (sort of), and way more. Bottom line - your TSHE hosts enjoy spending IRL time together (amongst roughly 200k other people)!  In small talk (which is funny because we saw each...

*but isn’t ready to talk about it just yet This week, while three of your TSHE hosts journey home and the local Minnesotan enjoys being rid of the rest of us, we present what was originally a bonus episode in 2020 for your re-listening pleasure. Hear Ann and some very special guests share their history with and love for the Minnesota State Fair—spoiler alert, a love we all very much understand now...

This week, we plan our long-awaited trip to the Minnesota State Fair. Well, we rough it out anyway. We explore some options, at least. We tried. TSHE Recommends Sterling Point Connect with the show!

Back in the good ol’ days, before we had to make rent or mortgage payments, before groceries and insurance and car repairs, before toiletries and utilities and emergencies, how did we spend our money? When the only thing we had to worry about was our own miniature wants, what were the things for which we saved our hard-earned allowance? It turns out we were just as food-obsessed back then as we ar...

Like the Cosmo girls before us, your TSHE Coven (™) is here to take some quizzes! From What Muppet we are (spoiler - no one got Miss Piggy) to an unholy combination of Broadway musicals and Minnesota State Fair food (why is Sweet Martha infamous), we’re definitively going to find out who we are! In other news, we still have a fair amount to say about Kevin James, believe it or not. That discussion...

After weeks of deliberation, fielding listener feedback and singing that DuckTales ear worm hook to ourselves, the TSHE crew reconvenes to declare once and for all a definitive winner for the title of greatest TV theme song of all time. We will not be taking further questions. Also: Meredith spent some quality time with OJ, Ann spent some quality time with Will the Pilot, Bobby spent some quality...

It’s been another week of impossible schedules, so we’ve reached back into the TSHE vault to bring you this classic episode from May 2023. We’ll be back with the conclusion of the TV theme song bracket challenge next week! Original show notes are below: Bobby, Ann and Hillary have packed the folding tables, the camp chairs, the lawn blankets and, of course, their appetites for a special summer kic...

Welcome back welcome back welcome back to the TSHE Iconic tv theme song bracket! We’ve culled, we’ve organized, and we’re ready to reveal the lineups and winnow it down to the final few. Battles were fought, but like the dessert ranking previously, we realized we’re pretty basic! But it wouldn’t be TSHE without some tangents - funky composers, Patrick Swayze, Patton Oswalt included. In other news,...

We’re developing the TSHE tv theme songs bracket, and things are starting to take shape. Categories have been established (‘Just Words’ will never not make us laugh), songs have been assigned, and we’re ready for the arguing to begin. The X-Files vs Twin Peaks? Growing Pains vs The Facts of Life? Duck Tales vs Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers? Who knows how things will shake out, so stay tuned to see...

In an age when the media landscape is as fractured as ever and quality across the board is waning, your TSHE hosts answer the call for the kind of critical analysis and historical context that is much needed today with a thoughtful, scientific and thoroughly researched discussion on media criticism though the lens of television theme songs. And by that we mean, a nostalgia-soaked TV-based version...

There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils at Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on that Pepsi? Like Bill and Ted before us, your TSHE hosts are ready to explore what our lives would have been like in Medieval times - the era of history, not the restaurant (though, that comes up a lot). We would probably be very stinky/die of one fever but maybe our lives would have...

We like to think that we give things a fair shake around here, but sometimes you just can’t get there. This week, we’re talking about things that are Not For Me, which includes entries in the food, music, attraction, sports, and pop culture spheres. Also, Ann’s on a (probably unsuccessful) quest for more protein, Bobby gave Fella his own suite, and Meredith loves a good curd.   TSHE Recommends: A...

Listen back with us this week as we return to a conversation from July 2021 about why we love America. (It was complicated then. It's not less complicated now.) Here's the original episode description: In honor of America’s birthday, we celebrate the reasons we love—at least a little bit—our home and native land. Plus: Your favorite vintage nostalgic tech, Cool Aunt Hillary chauffeured some youths...

We come up with a lot of random topics while recording and while they might not be suitable for a whole show, you know your hosts can talk at length about almost any subject (are we guest producer, Doug Schrecengost?). With that being said, it's time to spin the wheel of topics (alternate question of the week - what’s your favorite kind of wheel?)! From our philosophy of lateness (not great!) to t...

Over at TSHE we’re not getting any younger, and that’s why it’s more important than ever that we focus on our fitness, even though it’s all been downhill (or should we say, uphill?) since Mile Run day in elementary school. This is also probably a good time to remind everyone that this is, essentially, the opposite of an advice podcast. Plus, scary moments, a cute moment, continued cinema studies,...

The TSHE Book Club is back, and your entire roster of hosts are in the (metaphorical) studio to dig into a story that’s both sensationalist and nuanced. We’re talking about Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, and man, do we have a lot to say! Our discussion includes gender roles, internalized misogyny, and the crushing pressure of fantasy life, as well as strong feelings about a protagonist who is bo...

Batter up! Hear that call! The time has come! For one and all! To plaaaayyy ball! RECORD SCRATCH! While we had every intention of discussing our history with youth sports, your hosts were feeling their age and quickly pivoted to ruminating about how our bodies are failing us. Don’t worry, we have fun while we’re slowly decaying! In small talk (before we delved into aging), Hillary is still watchin...

From the vault *creaking noise* please enjoy this pre-Mother's Day delight which originally aired on May 10, 2021. 84: Maybe We are a Pyramid Scheme? As Mother’s Day looms, we have happily reconvened the council of Moms (™) and wow do we have a business opportunity for you!! Get in our downline! This episode we’re tackling a subject near and dear to our hearts - MLMs  (otherwise known as Multi-Lev...
