Says Who?

Jeepers, 2020 got off to a start. Dan and Maureen are back for thee first 2020 podcast, and they are…well…a bit uncertain how to address what the first seven days of the new year have been like. Spicy? Eventful? Something else? But they have made personal strides. Dan has discovered the joys of the bullet journal. Maureen is getting things done and having strangers over to the house to help! Lots...

Should all Trump’s tweeting be forgot And never come to mind! It’s 2020 now my scrotes Let’s leave that shit behind! Yes, Sayswhovia, it’s a new decade! That was easy! We just woke up one day and, BAM! New decade! What did we learn in this last week of 2019? We learned that SaysWhovia is the best, that Trump is very bad at giving gifts, that Presidential libraries are weird, and that 2020 will hav...

We did it! It’s happened! TRUMP HAS BEEN IMPEACHED! And now… Well. For a start, Dan is broken. He’s been working in his workshop day and night, watching the hearings, making crafts for good SaysWhovians, and going ever so slowly insane. He sleeps in a pile of cardboard and printed out transcripts. Maureen watched a bunch of it, but not all. Together, they work out what it all MEANS. Trump has been...

Grab a plate, SaysWhovia. Dan and Maureen have been busy cooking up some news and are ready to dish it out. What would you like? Some hot, buttery Trump leaving NATO after getting picked on? Got it. We’re passing around some FBI documents, if you want to grab a few. Would you like some UK election news on that? Let us pour some on. We’ll be slicing up the impeachment any moment. Which is our way o...

Jingle, jingle, SaysWhovia! Dan and Maureen had a few issues getting the recording done this week. Dan threw a pair of scissors, then the internet broke, like, twenty times. So our friends are not as well as they might be. But it’s all fine, for this is the season of glad tidings and joy. That is what Maureen is here to remind Dan. Dan has other things to remind Maureen. He wants her to know, for...

Oh, hello, SaysWhovia. We were just putting out the plates. There’s turkey and pie, and potatoes, and, why, I think we have a little impeachment left in the fridge. Yes, it’s Thanksgiving! The holiday of feasting! Of pie! Of traffic! Of jumping over the table to wrestle another relative to the ground! Here in SaysWhovia, we celebrate communally. Everyone is invited. Dan and Maureen have been cooki...

Oh no. Oh dear. It’s finally happen. We’ve broken Dan. It’s too much. It has been a week of hearings and news, and a very long day of hearings and news, and now Dan and Maureen are recording after twelve hours of hearings and they are not okay. What have they learned? They are not sure. But they’ll try to explain it anyway. Please help them.   *** Dan's tracking impeachment news and sending out up...

Ding ding! It’s a special Says Who bonus episode. As we’ve entered into the impeachment hearings, Dan and Maureen are here to watch and walk you through. Because this is going to be a lot. A lot of what? Well, a lot of bow ties, and recitation of things we’ve heard, and bullshit. And a lot of water. So much water. Giant bottles of water. Listen to the story of two nerds doing their duty, dealing w...

Great googliemooglies, SaysWhovia, are we in for a week! Impeachment time is here. This will be a week of hearings, tweeting, and a whole lot of info dumps and nonsense. It’s also going to be cold all get out for a lot of us, so we will be huddled indoors, watching democracy or something! Who knows? Who knows? Well, Dan knows! Probably. He seems to. This is going to be a big week for impeachment.f...

Oh, hey there. How have you been? Dan and Maureen have both just gotten off planes. Dan was in Disney World with his family, where his wife ran a race. And Maureen was in Hollywood, going to a movie premiere. So, just another week. Of course not, SaysWhovia. We kid. This was a special week, the calm before the storm. This week marked the one year mark before the 2020 election, and the week before...

Jeepers creepers, SayWhovia! It’s Halloweentime again. It’s time for candy, costumes, spooky movies, butt dialing reporters, and shitposting! Yes, it’s been a weird one. How weird? Weird enough that Rudy’s butt dials to reporters aren’t even close to being the thing that caused Dan’s mind to snap like a twig. Oh yes. Dan has been working hard on impeachment.fyi . His mind is always spinning out wi...

Howdy, partner. Dan and Maureen are just riding around on some space horses, russlin’ up some news. Lots of news going on, lots of talk around the saloon. But first, Maureen is traveling a lot! Not right now, but soon she’s going to that there Los Angeles. Dan has a new computer, so that is also very exciting. This means he can keep up with all things impeachment without his computer catching on f...

We all feel pretty experienced around here in SaysWhovia. We like to think we can handle some news, and even a lot of news. It takes practice to deal with a week like the last one, in which it was all of the news. Do you think someone with a 2016 brain could handle goons disappearing in the middle of the night with one-way tickets to Vienna and a company named Fraud Guarantee? 2016 brains would ha...

Whatever will we talk about this week? Oh right.  Literally everything. At once. Dan and Maureen are ready to break it down--they have been training for this moment, SaysWhovians.  But first, they have to parse how any child in the '70s or '80s survived. And Maureen needs to know how much a Whopper costs. And Dan has a story about a talking pile of clay.  And also there's a thing about chocolate c...

Oh hello there, SaysWhovia. Come sit beside us on the porch. We’ll have some lemonade and tell stories about the old days, like a week ago. It was a different world then. Back then, sometimes we only had two news cycles a day! Things were slower. Life crept along. Now, of course, the news cycle is… well, there’s been a new one while you were reading this! We’re on a water slide! Are we going into...

Normally episodes of Says Who come out on Wednesdays, but these aren't normal times and special for EVERYONE is a bonus episode of Says Who! Specifically a very special SaysWhosterpiece Theater: Maureen and Dan read the (don't call it a) transcript of the call between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. This is the (not a) transcript that the White House released thinking it would let all this...

Maureen is in Greece, Dan is back in his basement, there's a eight hour time difference  and also mountains and dolphins and while it sounds like paradise, well, it is. And yet, and yet there is trouble around the edges--the news won't stop. At the time of this recording (the halcyon days of yesterday morning), Brexit had been thrown once again into question and Donald Trump was getting in too dee...

Well, well, well. Here we are. Three years after Dan and Maureen agreed to do something for eight weeks, this deranged carnival rages on. It's the Says Who Third Anniversary Show! And, like she does on each anniversary, Ana Marie Cox returns to see how far we've come. How far is that, exactly? Bret Kavenaugh is back, and so is Sean Spicer. You know what? Forget it. Just forget it. You don't want t...

Here we are again, on the eve of the third year anniversary of Says Who. Dan and Maureen have gotten together to parse the events of the week. They have been--and this is painful to say--weirder than most. But first! The Says Who U experiment continues. There are benefits to getting away from this stuff from time to time! Dan is pouring concrete and making yogurt! Maureen is... ...listening to Par...

So it begins. We've passed Labor Day and now we're in that exciting transition from summer to fall--a time to new starts and getting back to work. Maureen has just finished a book! And now she is getting some new furniture so she can stop storing clothes in a VHS tape cabinet. Dan has returned to his house, which is filled with dust and ghosts. Both have taken time each day to get away from screen...

Ah, the end of summer. The back to school sales. The backpacks. The books. The pencils. The premature PSLs. The cooler weather ahead. Nuking hurricanes. Calling yourself the Chosen One. It's all classic stuff. Dan and Maureen are easing into the fall with this summer wrap-up. They are taking the time to look back and look ahead. It's been almost three years of Says Who. What will the fourth year b...

Well, we did it! We did the thing we didn't mean to do, probably didn't want to do, and certainly never expected to do. Welcome to EPISODE ONE HUNDRED of Says Who, the podcast that was only supposed to last for eight episodes. Dan and Maureen take a look back--first at the last two weeks of news, and then at the last hundred episodes. What have they learned? What wisdom can they impart to their 20...

Great Googliemooglie. Dan and Maureen meet once again, this time both on American soil. Maureen is home in New York, and Dan wandering the west, though he no longer spends his time in hot cars outside of pyramids. The summer of 2019 rages on. Rage being the operative word. It was not, to put it mildly, the best week ever. Things in the US are not going great. There have been two mass shootings in...

Pip pip! Maureen is in England, trying to enjoy life for a second. But Dan is lurking, and he has notes. He was been following the news. Maureen cannot hide in butterflies and sunshine and tea. There are Events to Process. There's no running away. So what has been happening? Well, Trump is turning up the racism, which is not news--it's just turning everything up to eleven. But racism. So much. Thi...

What can we say, really. Summer burns on, and things continue to brew. Dan is in Colorado, and Maureen is about to go to England. The UK has a new Prime Minister. Mueller is about to testify. We're on the verge of everything and nothing. And Dan and Maureen are...well, not well. Their brains are turning to gravy. Here follows are two people trying to make it all make sense. How does it end? Impeac...
