Dan and Maureen are further apart than normal this week. It’s a tale of two cities—London and Los Angeles. One has English/Indian full breakfasts with unlimited cups of hot chai, while the other has fire alarms going off all the time. In fact, this episode has the most fire alarms of any Says Who episode! The most hotel talk! The most reading of menus! In fact, Dan and Maureen are so exciting talk...

What’s that sizzling sound? Why, it’s the official Says Who griddle! Dan and Maureen have some hot, beefy patties of news to slap down this week, so they hope you are hungry! And they’re starting with good news! COVID is over! The President said so! Dan will go and tell his wife, who has COVID. Dan is grouchy. Maureen has something to cheer him—a sing along!  Also, Dan’s son had a very interesting...

Ah, the sea. So…sealike. Maureen is in Greece, looking at the sea and having high quality insights like these. Dan is in Chicago, reading the news. One seems happier than the other. But not for long! Because the UK has a new prime minister, there’s a Special Master on the horizon, and Trump is definitely getting up to announce his 2024 run. Everything is circling back around. Maureen cannot cope w...

Look, it's been a long week and it's only Wednesday. Sure, Trump's been going nuts over on Truth Social and Lindsey Graham is threatening mob violence on cable news, but who's up for a story instead? A story about a banking heiress and a Palm Beach club with lax security. Certainly nothing will go wrong.   Note: to read more about the Anna de Rothschild story, check out the incredible reporting by...

Maureen has a new tooth! Dan’s kids are going to school. The last few weeks of the summer and hot and full of fun—because we’re hading into an exciting fall! Nothing weird is happening! Except for a few boxes in the back of Mar-a-Lago. There’s a little bit going on with those. Just a bit of criming. Actually, quite a lot of criming. So much criming. So many boxes. Plus, Maureen refines her cult pl...

Dan and Maureen are back, after this Sunday’s surprise episode with more! More crime! More details! More documents! More Trump! More legal peril, possible indictments, and institutional chaos! But first, Maureen has to talk about this Dr. Oz vegetable thing, because it is keeping her up at night. It’s so weird, and so gross. If she can figure out what it means, she’ll understand everything. Meanwh...

SaysWhovians! Dan has been traveling, but the Federal Bureau of Investigations didn't care and decided that this week—yes just a random week in the middle of August—was the week to suddenly SHOW UP AT MAR-A-LAGO WITH A WARRANT.  Look, it took a couple days but Maureen and Dan got together on the weekend to finally talk through the absolute madness of this last week.  Lock up your documents and gra...

It's travel time! Maureen is in the UK, Dan is outdoors by a pond, and covid is everywhere. Just not, currently, inside thier bodies. It must be summer travel in 2022 where if the covid doesn't get you, the monkeypox might. What fun. Oh, did you hear the president got covid? Twice? Everything's just really great right now y'all.  Fill up your tank, get your tray tables locked, it's go time. Says W...

SaysWhovia, things are afoot across the pond, and ace sleuth Maureen Johnson is here to tell us all about it. Which is good because Dan's been traveling and has his head in the clouds and heart on the road instead of paying attention to current events. Shame on Dan. Good thing Maureen's on the case!

Content note: A generalized discussion of the Highland Park shooting on the 4th of July. No details of the shooting—mostly details about Highland Park. Dan and Maureen have fled their respective cities. Dan is checking in from a woodland idyl, while Maureen reports from outside of Philadelphia. Both spent the Fourth of July avoiding fireworks. But because this is America, the Fourth of July was ma...

Yeah, SaysWhovia. We talk about Roe vs. Wade. But then we get into the juicy meat of the surprise January 6th hearing. It’s got everything! Battles for control of a steering wheel! Fights in back of cars! Ketchup running down walls! Real sad bastards looking at their phones! They were going to KILL THAT GUY. Also, Maureen has a weird bug bite and will either live or die while recording. Let’s just...

We’ve got the iced tea. We’ve got the television on. And we’ve got the January 6th hearings! Rudy is drunk. Ivanka is hiding behind 200 Zoom filters. Jared is bored. And everyone thinks Trump is an idiot. Also, Dan’s back is better, but he keeps trying to buy domain names. Maureen went out into the world. And the UK is still being the UK. But forget all that! GET YOUR ICED TEA! Says Who is made po...

You guys, Dan is definitely not okay and needs to go to the doctor. Maureen is fine. Mostly. But news. That’s what we are here about. And there is some! Finally, the hearings on January 6th are underway and swift, decisive justice is being meted out to all the participants. Lol. Just kidding. The hearings are about to start and Maureen just wants to watch them while drinking iced tea. Nothing will...

Maureen’s back at home after a long two weeks. She’s been taking care of some sick family members. Things could have gone better! Then again, they could have gone worse, so, she’ll take it. She also has some loose chicken in her pocket and a faraway stare. Dan has questions, but then, Dan always has questions. There is discussion of the events in Texas, but then they get back to their main topic o...

Maureen‘s having a real one. (Note: this was recorded before the shooting in Texas.)   Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho

Greetings, SaysWhovians!  This week, Dan and Maureen are getting ready for our third Hot COVID Summer, now with even more COVID! Maureen has to go and take care of her dad, so they had to record early. Everything, as usual, is fine. Except for all the COVID. And the white supremacists. And the weird gatherings at Mar-a-Lago. Okay. So maybe things aren’t fine. Maybe it’s time to formalize SaysWhovi...

Maureen and Dan are back after a two week hiatus! It’s time to talk about the news again! Which means talking about the recent challenge to Roe vs. Wade. This one gets anatomical. And delicious? Grab a bag of dips, SaysWhovia. We’re back! Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho

SaysWhovia! It's another week and another deadline for Dan and Maureen. But never fear, this Town Watch episode from 2019 is here! Yes, here in the main feed is a vintage Says Who bonus episode ALL ABOUT WRITING! Maureen and Dan will be back to their regular relentless schedule next week!

SaysWhovians! Maureen and Dan are both up against some hard deadlines and couldn't get this week's episode recorded. But never fear! Maureen had an idea: Let's pull an episode from the Town Watch, our nearly-weekly bonus feed over on the Patreon, and share it with everyone! So, from April 4, 2021, here's an episode where Maureen tells the story of hanging out with Judy Blume at her home in Key Wes...

Today we’re taking a trip. Please find your seats. Masks? No masks here! IT’S A PODCAST. Besides, who needs masks anymore? Right? Dan and Maureen process the surprise end of the mask mandate and delve into the weird goings on at the Happiest Place on Earth, where events continue to conspire to keep them away. They just want a Dole Whip. It’s been six years. Disney is under attack by Governor DeSan...

Maureen loses it. Everyone’s invited. Says Who is made possible by you, through your support of our Patreon at patreon.com/sayswho

Boo hoo! Maureen has been attacked by a plant. She has had a week and has been encased in bubble wrap. That’s okay—Dan’s been absorbing the news for her while she grows a new eyeball. Or something. There is actual good news! A union organizer successfully beat Amazon! Kicking Bezos in the balls is the SaysWhovian way! Meanwhile, another battle looms: the right wing has gone full-on against Disney....

Maureen has returned from England, and she has tales to tell! She was in the woods! The fields! She saw a horse! She had tea! She has been around so much COVID! SO MUCH COVID. Meanwhile, Dan fought a tree and lost. Because Maureen has been blissfully unaware of what the hell is going on, Dan has to break it to her. There has been news. It refuses to stop happening, the news. Everyone in the White...
