This Show Has Everything

It’s a spontaneous Small Talk Spectacular™ as Bobby, Ann and Meredith tackle loose ends and tangents after Hillary bails on us to be a responsible adult. (How dare she.) Topics include: An overdue Cheez-it frozen pizza review, the limitless applications of crunchy Biscoff butter, Ann pinch-hitting on a Grease 2 music commentary request, an unexpectedly complicated look back at Northern Exposure (s...

In honor of what would have been our friend Mike Frizzell’s 60th birthday, please enjoy this blast from the past, originally released on November 24, 2019. Rest in pizza, Mike. We miss you, buddy. On this week’s episode of TSHE: more highway talk, a stromboli is not a calzone, life lessons from The Devil Wears Prada, the awfulness of junior high boys, a heaping helping of Dad Wisdom, and the perfe...

It’s the week of the Fourth and the TSHE crew is feeling extremely patriotic! Just kidding! Your hosts gather together to discuss pretty much anything but America’s current situation. From settling in in Erie (including a wet pants situation) to the new (and extremely bizarre) Trivago ad campaign, your hosts are here with a grab bag of topics. We also do a small recap of our Grease 2 watchalong wh...

Live From the June Moon Talent Show! TSHE celebrates episode 300 (not counting all those old LRBs) with our long-awaited, much-anticipated Grease 2 watchalong. So fire up Paramount+ (or something called hoopla , apparently) and join us for this 80s-cosplaying-the-60s adventure. Do it for your country.  Connect with the show! This is your show, too. Feel free to drop us a line, send us a voice memo...

The gang is out living their lives this week, so please enjoy this TSHE Classic, originally aired on July 14th, 2024. It’s been quite a week, and Bobby, Hillary and Ann are here to break down and solve the challenges in American politics, climate chaos and global unrest. Just kidding. It’s an episode about our favorite movie theatre candy. Plus, Bobby’s feeling confident out in the country, Hillar...

As you’re listening, Father’s Day 2025 has likely passed, but the TSHE Coven (™) want to talk about their dad and aspirational dad hobbies. Woodworking, The West Wing, and home improvement goals all top the list. We might not be fathers, but we still want to read 800 page novels about John Adams (at least Hillary does)! In other news, Hillary describes Steel Magnolias as dramatized by teens, Mered...

Or: Claire Danes, the best chin actor in the business  This week, Wheel of Topics™ returns. Plus, Bobby’s bachelor arms is an accidental sauna, Meredith had a StairMaster run-in (a StepIn?) with a racist, and Ann tried to cheat, once.  TSHE Recommends Life By Living Connect with the show! This is your show, too. Feel free to drop us a line, send us a voice memo, or fax us a butt to let us know wha...

Summer, with its picnics and beaches and boardwalks and barbeques, is just around the corner, and an essential component of the season is that tastiest of cool treats: ice cream. We’re grabbing some spoons and digging into our history and preferences in the frozen dessert arena. Cone or dish? Chocolate chips or not? Make your own or almost get fired by a pervy manager because of someone else’s mis...

Your TSHE crew is out shopping the Memorial Day sales this week, so please enjoy a TSHE classic where we invent a new holiday! (Bonus - You get a brand new Rory cameo. Enjoy!) Figuring if the US government can establish a new holiday, we can, too, Bobby, Hillary and Ann set out to claim another day for a worthy occasion. It started as a lark, and yet, became so much more. Welcome to the calendar,...

Two-thirds of this week’s hosts don’t have kids. Did that stop us from discussing youth sports? Not even for a minute. From expensive gear to endless hours spent cheering at games and driving to/from practice, Bobby, Ann and current resident expert Hillary dive head-first into our childhood athletic endeavors, life as an athlete parent, and our usual share of tangents.  TSHE Recommends Jonathan Ki...

One of the great rites of passage is living in a series of crappy situations while trying to launch as an adult, and the hosts of TSHE are no strangers to making the best of questionable circumstances. Unventilated attics, codependent roommates, dingy dorms, even (yikes) parents’ houses – we’ve got a wealth of stories to share about how we flew from the nest. Plus, Bobby loves an outlet mall, Mere...

Picture this, it’s Friday night - you have nothing to do. It might feel good to sit back and revisit a classic. You turn on a movie or show from the past and relax. Then all of the sudden you realize dang! This is seriously problematic! We love pop culture here, but yikes! Stuff was messed up back then (your definition of “then” may vary)! In small talk, Hillary describes her wild times in Vegas....

This week, Meredith is on a roll roll, Ann is a blood golem, and Bobby is at a clinical-strength crossroads. What more could you want from a TSHE After Dark Small Talk Spectacular than Easter recaps, Sir Chubford McTub-O-Lard*, a surprising amount of discussion about deodorant and a follow-up voice memo from a three-gallon blood donor?  *I’m still not confident on the spelling on that one TSHE Rec...

Pengwings and chipmunks and sloths, oh my! TSHE is heading to the zoo and we’re going to look at allll the animals (not really). We’ve each brought our favorites to the table – animals we love, animals we find fascinating, and even animals we don’t remember being into. We’ve got some zoo talk (on balance, do we think they’re good or bad?), as well as some fond reminisces of zoo school. Plus, Hilla...

Your TSHE friends have been off for a couple of weeks and we’re here to give you some stellar media recommendations. Movies, podcasts, books, tv shows old and new (spoiler alert, The Pitt), we got you covered! In small talk, we’ve been traveling! From open containers in New Orleans to crying about Hamilton in New York to trekking to the office, the TSHE hosts are making the rounds (thankfully not...

It's another hectic week, and post-vacation / busy-at-work Bobby is feeling his age, which seems to be a common theme for TSHE in April. So this week, while we regroup, enjoy this Classic™ from the April 2023 section of the TSHE Vault: Most of us have to work to live, but that doesn’t mean we have to live to work. So what about when we’re done working? (Will we ever be done working?) This week, wh...

It was another jam-packed week for your hardworking (and hard-traveling) TSHE hosts, so please enjoy this classic episode from March 2020. See you all next week! The shenanigans continue into another episode as Hillary, Mike, Meredith, and Ann are exploring new tangents, devising cockamamie plans, and making one another laugh uncontrollably. This show really does have everything: another installme...

In a world where e-commerce is dominated by a wannabe supervillain and malls are rapidly going extinct, where is a podcaster supposed to find clothes that fit on a budget? Hillary and Ann help Bobby realize the answers to his basic needs may only be a membership card (and $1.50 hot dog combo) away. Plus: Bobby has some Seinfeldian observations, Hillary was in her element in LA traffic, and Ann is...

Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, and Jenna Bush Hager have all done it, but there’s only one book club that really matters! That’s right, it’s another installment of the TSHE Book Club! This time, we’re tackling the book of 2015 - A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas . We might also start a Night Court rewatch podcast. Only time will tell, but we love Bull! In small talk, Bobby and Hillary are go...

This week, we explore the cinematic universe of Saturday Night Live movie spinoffs, only to realize the movies we actually want to discuss aren’t actually Saturday Night Live spinoffs. So instead, enjoy this conversation about movies tied to SNL cast members, sometimes only tangentially. Plus, we continue to be surprised at both our age and the age of this show, but at least we have 3.5lbs of Mexi...

This week, the ladies of TSHE are tamping down our simmering rage to talk about the liminal space that is perimenopause. Irregular cycles, itchiness, bone density changes (Boniva, anyone?) moods (STOP WHISTLING IN THE ELEVATOR) - it’s having a social media moment, and we want to talk about the stuff that nobody ever told us was coming. During the discussion, we detour into talk of puberty, menopau...

It’s cold and gloomy out, and yet, it’s the best season! Awards season! Your fast talking entertainment reporters discuss the controversies, the chaos, and our annual who should and likely will win (though to be honest, we’re at a loss for Best Picture). For more Oscars fun, join us on our Facebook group as we do a live commentary of all the fun (3/2 @ 5pm MT)! Also, see all the nominees here ! In...

In these, the coldest of days (unless you live in Australia), we’re in dire need of food that makes us feel comforted and safe. In that vein, Bobby, Meredith, and Ann are talking our favorite comfort foods, otherwise known as “things you want to eat on a plate that’s kind of like a bowl.” Unspellable Midwest goulashes? Check. Recipes that incorporate Lipton onion soup mix? Check. The salt bomb of...

This week, we’re going back to school (but not like Rodney Dangerfield) to answer the question: What classes do we wish we could have taken? Because, in hindsight, there’s a lot of energy we spent memorizing the quadratic equation that could have been directed to something more useful. Plus, Ann doesn’t like Nate Bargatze, Bobby once met D. Woods, Hillary’s a Teen Mom*, and, in a few months, Mered...

The full TSHE crew wasn't available this week, so please enjoy this classic episode from February, 2022. We’ll be back next week, recharged and ready to rumble! Given the recent weather all over, it seemed a timely occasion to talk about the snow days of our youth, and the blizzard of feedback in our mailbag. Plus: Bobby has a well-worn signature, Hillary has Opposite Talent Dysmorphia, and Meredi...
