This Show Has Everything

Current ongoing catastrophes have left us with some extra time to fill; from sourdough “mothers” to incomplete jigsaw puzzles, the entire world has had to develop some new interests, and TSHE’s Coven is no different. We’re talking about our hobbies this week - not only the new ones, but also the ones we’ve nurtured for many years. From arts and crafts to physical exertion to whatever this show is,...

The TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular has launched into space! From space bugs to primers to a bevy of 80’s babes, your very, very competent TSHE hosts are hoping to land this show safely in White Sands with oxygen to spare. A sample of some questions we ask - do Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster have chemistry (no)? Is Wall-E more depressing now (yes)? Is Jessica Chastain beautiful (yes, but ma...

In honor of Episode 101, we’re going back to school by answering your questions about ourselves and the show. Bobby goes topical fast, Christy’s in deep vacation mode, Ann is doing some edgy backwards chair-sitting , and Meredith is a criminal bully wetland heiress. At a minimum, this episode should tide you over until we get Montessori Memories off the ground. But if you have a few extra minutes...

Send us your questions by Friday morning to have them featured on our upcoming TSHE 101 AMA! 

We’ve made it to 100 episodes of TSHE, which is an accomplishment, I guess? In honor of our milestone, we’re taking a trip to the Hundred Acre Wood to find out which Winnie the Pooh characters we are, courtesy of another highly accurate Buzzfeed quiz. Then, we hop over to the TSHE Billboard Top 100 and check out what was in the charts when we were born. Did anyone say disco?? Also on tap: Meredith...

As the wise Samantha Jones says on a Season 3 episode of Sex and The City, “I’m a trisexual.  I’ll try anything once.”  But sometimes once is enough. In this episode we’re talking about all those things we’ve tried that didn’t quite stick.  From Pirates of the Caribbean to mushrooms to heaters (????), your hosts run the gamut as far as giving up. In fact, Christy might still be adding to her list...

This week, it’s a full-fledged battle of the brands as Busy Busy Bobby, Cool Wine Aunt Hillary and Relentlessly Optimistic Ann objectively and unequivocally declare the Top 5* Mid-Range Chain Restaurants in America. Which joint’s flair is beyond compare? Whose saturated fat leads the pack? Does a little international flavor give us something to savor? The criteria is loose, the consideration is in...

Here at TSHE we’re always willing to engage in self-examination (navel-gazing?) in order to know ourselves better, and we’ve concluded that we might not be perfect. Accordingly, Meredith, Hillary, and Ann have come together to share the worst of our bad habits (such as they are). Hillary’s a gross person. Meredith’s on the cusp of inventing a new art form. Ann unaccountably procrastinates one sing...

It’s getting steamy in the TSHE studios, and we don’t just mean the weather. In an episode with even more utter nonsense than usual, Hillary, Christy, and Ann are talking about the onscreen characters who leave us a little hot and bothered. From a distant father to a righteous truth teller, a Young Republican to the quintessential Gen-X idols, our tastes are both wide AND shallow. Along the way we...

Would you like something to nibble on? Some Pizza Shooters, Shrimp Poppers, or Extreme Fajitas? Well you’re in luck! We’re back to the neverending cinema road trip and this time, we’re jumping into the Ford F150, driving to the state we all love to hate and sometimes love to love - the Lone Star State.  From anachronistic fashion to fantastic self haircuts (and extremely bizarre KitKat eating), we...

We’ve all had jobs (except for you, trust fund kids!) where the hours were long, the pay wasn’t great, and the work itself may or may not have been fulfilling (hello, kitchen grease). Despite all of this, our satisfaction at work has most often depended on the person who supervised us. In that spirit, Christy, Meredith, and Ann are talking about the bosses who lifted us up, as well as the bosses w...

It’s getting toasty outside, so the TSHE Coven has decided to risk failing (passing?) the witch test by making a beeline to the nearest body of cool water. We’re heading to the UP Pool to talk about swimming, whether it be in lake, ocean, river, or puddle (it’s pool for us, please). So, put on your favorite swimsuit from the Kathy Ireland Collection, pour yourself a glass of Skip and Go Naked, and...

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, Bobby the Body got burned at the beach, cultural explorer Meredith ventured to Hamtramck, and Ann wants you to know she is also super exciting. (She’s also a fan of a ridged chip.) TSHE Recommends  So...

Charge your Nokia, pump the Ska jams, and grab your Blockbuster card. Hiliv,  4893818, megadith, and kissieyes are here to take a nostalgic roadtrip of 90s technology. From Snake to AOL chatrooms to recording Mariah Carey’s Someday from the radio (the DJ better not talk over), we discuss the charm, hilarity, and creativity of our childhood tech experiences. In other news, Hillary is enjoying her c...

Gather ‘round with the whole crew for a trip to the Irish countryside in the latest installment of the TSHE Book Club! This week, we break down Tana French’s The Searcher . Other topics discussed include a review of In The Heights, talk of NASA’s twitch stream , the long arm of the Milk Council, and the revelations that most of our listeners are Truvies, but only one of our co-hosts is a psychopat...

Here at TSHE, we’re always on the lookout for things that will make us better people (except for our book club. Reminder: make sure to finish reading The Searcher by Tana French for next week’s show). As part of this continuing quest, we’re turning to the most rigorously scientific source of self-diagnostics: the internet quiz.  Ann, Hillary, and Meredith have done the work and are ready to share...

We got grits, we got crawfish, we got bleedin’ red armadillo cake. What does that mean? That means it’s time for another edition of our occasional cinema road trip. Hop in the minivan, y’all, we’re heading to the Southeast/South Central region of the US (that’s Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana). In addition to all of the attempted accents, natural teeth, and delicious food we encounte...

Ladies and gentlemen this is your podcast speaking. TSHE episode 87 with direct service to your earholes is ready for takeoff. Please make sure your headphones are fastened and your, uh, bluetooth is in its upright and locked position. (This really isn’t working, is it.) This week, Bobby, Ann and Meredith have champagne-button wishes and mini donut machine dreams as they look forward to traveling...

The Bad Girls of TSHE are back to share some of their experiences living in proximity to others. Some of our neighbors were great, and some were…less great. The discussion includes the liberal use of “spying windows,” the neighborhood DJ, a couple who wasn’t “grossly canoodling,” a Jesus shrine, Mr. Sensitive, and literal scorched earth. Plus, Ann’s gearing up for Christmas, Hillary has a social s...

We’re kicking off the TSHE Book Club with a discussion of Hollywood Homicide, by Kellye Garrett. We liked the diversity and the accuracy of the LA setting, but had a few burning questions that needed answers. Did we find our heroine endearingly daffy, or irritatingly incompetent? Was all the textspeak really necessary? Does a certain type of pornography referenced actually exist? (“Bobby, is that...

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-Level Marketing)! From your Rodan & Fields to your LulusRoe, we have you covered on all the dumb tactics, terrible...

At long last, Ann, Bobby and Hillary tackle the questions that have been on everyone’s minds (and in the TSHE tickler file) for months now: What is (and isn’t) a cop/not cop show, and more importantly, what—based on strict scientific criteria and rigorous research—are the best and worst cop/not cop shows?   You’ll know we weren’t trifling when you see this episode is 2.5 hours long.   Also discuss...

We return to the TSHE kitchens for another episode of Ann’s Baking Academy! This time, ‘The Boomers of Baking’ and ‘The Teacher’s Pet’ (that would be Christy, Hillary, and Meredith) have tied on their aprons to tackle the mystery of choux pastry and make some cream puffs. Will their puffs puff? Was 6 a bad choice? Will Ann take off the training wheels and then push everyone down the hill? Also dis...

Today this show has everything, and by everything, we mean everything Oscars! That’s right, your fearless pop culture reporters (and Gen X social media experts), Christy and Hillary, are going to walk you through this weird and wild oscar season with some wishes, some predictions, and some memories. It’s our favorite season, after all! Join us for a live Facebook Oscar Watch on April 25 (6:00 pm M...

Strippers, sadness, alligators, meth, housing bubbles, murder, pastel art deco. You guessed it! This week our TSHE road trip is bringing us to Florida! We explore our feelings on that particular state and bring a wide variety of movies (mostly) set there to discuss. From the Kings of Tampa to a drag club in Miami, these films really cover the span of Floridian humanity. Ahhh, The Sunshine State. I...
