Says Who?

It’s the calm before the storm, SaysWhovia. Or the eye of the storm. Or it’s not a storm. Or it’s not calm. Dan and Maureen are no longer sure. It’s 14 days until Election Day, except it’s not even that because people are voting already so…DAN KNOWS, HE KNOWS. Maureen feels that the quiet is eerie. She has been working a lot. Dan is happy to hear it, because he has a story he would like to tell he...

It’s 21 days until the election at the time of recording. Dan and Maureen have gotten into the groove, now. They’re battle hardened. Do you think those two chumps from 2016 could have handled COVID Trump? They could not. This new Dan and Maureen can. Kind of. Well, they aren’t crying as much as usual. The President is on a lot of drugs and is flying around the country, like some kind of 70s rock s...

Maureen has had enough of everything and needs Dan to talk her down. Dan is fine with that—also, he has some facts he would like to share about who has COVID in the White House. Hint: almost everyone! Then Maureen taps out and orders a weighted blanket. That’s pretty much it. Into the blanket fort, SaysWhovia. Cuddle up.

It’s Tuesday again or something! Dan and Maureen aren’t sure. They think it is Tuesday. Anyway, things are fine. Dan is dealing well with Zoom Kindergarten, and Maureen has good news to share! Really good news! She had an adventure. Of course, there are things that have to be discussed, like the passing of RBG and failed COVID policies in two countries. And the debates next week. Oh, that’s right....

It’s here! The day that was never supposed to come! It’s the FOURTH ANNIVERSARY of Says Who! And, as with every other Says Who anniversary, our very first guest, Ana Marie Cox, returns to reflect on the year passed and the year to come. Dan and Maureen are fine. They’re great. They’re definitely not coming apart at the seams. Maureen has been to Philadelphia and has a story about a turkey in a hat...

Splish splash! Dan and Maureen have washed up on the shore of another week. Dan is feeling better, partially because of his Thicky Chex dinosaur arms, and partially because Zoom Kindergarten was canceled today. Maureen is having fond memories of airplane coffee. It’s all about lowering your standards. There’s a lot to discuss, but obviously, when life gives you a boat parade, you watch it sink to...

Look. Dan's five-year-old has started kindergarten on Zoom and it's not going exactly what anyone would describe as, well, "well." But don't worry, Maureen's got just the thing thing to cheer him up. What could possibly go wrong Sayswhovia?  Nothing, that's what.  No thing.   Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho

Maureen and Dan are fine. Just fine. Once Dan duct tapes this mic, and Maureen makes sure she hasn’t taken the dog’s medication, they’ll get right to it. Because things are great. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Because today’s SaysWhovia is RETRO. Russian interference? Check. Steve Bannon arrested on a boat? Check. Weird tapes with people talking shit about Trump? Check. Kellyanne Conway rip...

It’s that wonderful time of year when either all students or some or none go back to school for an unknown period of time until everything closes down again and Dan is fine with it. Dan’s own Danlings are staying home, which means turning the house into a school. But all of this makes sense. Loads of sense. Meanwhile, Joe Biden picks a running mate, the DNC starts, the post office is under attack,...

It’s the big day! Time to learn Joe Biden’s VP pick! Dan and Maureen are here covering it live, and definitely did not record this episode precisely one hour before the news broke. Of course they know who it is! Because they are professionals, they cover all the news of the week, like how good America is at having COVID, how cool reopening plans are, and how bad Maureen’s school was at taking care...

Maureen is home from the woods. It’s good to be home, back in the familiar place, back in… Oh. There’s a little tropical storm happening. Nothing to worry about. Dan’s not worried. He’s…he’s rocking back and forth. What’s wrong with Dan? Has he been watching something? Oh. He watched the Axios interview. Everything seems to be happening at once. It’s August. It’s back to school time, or not. Or po...

It’s the height of summer, and Maureen has escaped to the woods for a week. It’s cool and green where she is. She swims in a pond, walks in the forest, buys backdoor food from hippies, and drifts around on an alligator. Dan, meanwhile, is below ground in Chicago, sweating away in the official Says Who basement. He’s fine too. For sure. He’s great. His neighbors have started an illegal, off-brand s...

SaysWhovians, it is the dog days of summer, which is something someone said once. But it is summer, and there are dogs! Also, there is a clicking and some banging and honestly, did you hear that? No, that. Anyway, despite the distractions and also the doom, always the doom, Maureen and Dan talk about... beans? There's a lot of bean talk, if we're being perfectly honest here. And they also talk abo...

Welcome to day oné̷͕̓ ḩ̶͎̈́ú̶̞̩̎ndȑ̷͖̭ě̶̼d̸̘̅͝ á̶̡̀̚n̴̪̥͒d ṭ̸̜̐͘wěnty̸̙͂ oŕ s̶͉͙̚ơmĕ̸̺͉̀țhīņ̵̡̪͌g of quarantine! Dan and Maureen want you to know they are fine. They’re great. Because they’re so great, they’re going to talk about cool, great things, like Trump wearing a mask one time and plans for school reopening. Because it’s fine. Well, it’s not *fine*, but… Maureen has a new friend she wants D...

It’s Maureen this time. She’s had it. Her brain made like a firework and blew up in New York. She needs to relax, do a little yoga. Dan’s on it. He wants to talk to her about Disney... and their reopening plans. Or books!... written by Trump family members. Or DoJo being, well, DoJo. Dan yoga is the worst yoga. Namaste?

What’s that? Oh, just some pre-Fourth of July fireworks. They happen every night now in New York. It’s festive! Maureen loves it. She loves the fireworks and how everyone is out in the street without a mask because everything is fixed now! Wait, Dan is saying something. He’s saying things are not fixed. In fact, they are the opposite of fixed. He is pointing at a chart. Dan looks at charts a lot....

It’s been a long week, SaysWhovia. Actually, it’s been a long fourteen weeks. Dan has kind of had it. Fourteen weeks indoors and COVID is taking hold more than ever in some places even as they open up. Dan has been looking at the charts and he is done. Done . Maureen attempts to provide therapy. Perhaps they can talk about how famous figures have dealt with disappointment. Like, say, someone who w...

Welcome back to SaysWhovia! Dan and Maureen are back on their bullshit, which means they are back on the bullshit of others. Ted Cruz is trying to get an actor to wrestle Jim Jordan, because that is the kind of sentence we have to say in 2020. A Republican congressperson gets COVID and just can’t work out how it could possibly have happened, since he’s only gone out constantly and been touching ev...

Hello, SaysWhovia. We took last week off out of respect for the events currently taking place. We return this week to see where we are now, and where we might be going. To help us look at the protests, the state of the union, the COVID crisis, and, because this is Says Who, a little Disney, we are joined by our friend Akilah Hughes. We will be donating this month’s Patreon contribution to the Move...

It’s summertime in SaysWhovia! Time for surf! Sand! Sun! Staying indoors! JUST STAY INDOORS! That’s what Dan and Maureen have been doing. They stay inside! But not everyone can say the same. The President is golfing again. People around the US are crowding into gross swimming pool bars. Disorganized reopenings are happening haphazardly all over. Who needs a plan? No one! Meanwhile, in the UK, a ma...

It’s been a busy week, SaysWhovia. For the first time in a while, Dan and Maureen are here to talk about the news and not just what they are bleaching.  The President’s Goons are going in and out of jail—mostly out. It turns out you can do a crime and say you did the crime and it’s okay.  The President himself has come out with some new medical advice. He’s been getting letters. Lots of letters. I...

Food. We all like it. We all eat it. We all have it served to us by a special military valet. So let's talk about food in lockdown with notable food writer and best person Helen Rosner. Oh, but first, Dan and Maureen do a little run down of what’s going on in the White House. Unbelievably, after taking absolutely no precautions, COVID-19 has shown up in those hallowed halls. The President’s Diet C...

Peek a boo! It’s Dan and Maureen! Behind you! Surprise! It’s been another indoor week, and Dan and Maureen are doing… fine? They don’t know anymore. They cannot remember the Before Times. But they’re pretty used to it all now. They go over the regular things, handwashing, types of beans, things you can do in a basement. But, in a change of pace from the last few weeks, they remember there is Other...
