Turi Ryder's "She Said What?" Podcast

Turi's new job as electronics customer service representative   "Steve in India". Marshmallow confessions, and the end of the little neighborhood zoo. Marci is getting a new pet. Hint: it is not a goat…and it will require a HUGE amount of preparation.  

The forgotten anniversary, or "Here. I found this in the freezer." The risks of open mic nights. Neutering—for dogs or maybe people. The surprise rate increase, and how it could be different.

The person who gives you the best excuse to do (or not do) that thing you wanted to do (or not do) in the first place. The limit of your allergies. Marci's heat wave. The "not fair" files: Documentaries you have to explain BEFORE you watch them. Plumbing, or weather—choose one.

Is your pet making you accident prone? Marci's walking into doors, and Turi may have a broken jar. Love. Anniversaries. Two different things. When you promise dinner, but don't specify the time.  

If you think you have problems when you put your sweater on inside out...Marci has it a whole lot worse. A preview for people whose lives and bodies are still spicy. More things are unfair. How to dress your clumsy dog. 

Sometimes the universe doesn't operate on a level playing field. What we learned in preschool. Song lyrics that are saving us now. The Thunderbirds at the Chicago Air and Water Show have wrought chaos at Turi's house. Marci admits to liking the Hamburger Helper Hand on her daughter's but...or at least preferring it to the ear guages. 

It's a build your own adventure—with water—at Marci's house. Announcing our new YouTube acronym.   How many coolers of ice can you dodge when your refrigerator breaks down? What NOT to say to a prospective landlord: the list has just expanded. Marci's goat takes revenge, and her husband secretly loses his resolve.

The podcast's technical hiatus, explained non-technically. The death of the inanimate. Marci spends a day waiting to be chewed out. Thanks for reminding us we don't have memories. Why Marci became a journalist. Hint: it has nothing to do with journalism. What we bought Jeff Bezos for his wedding.

The multifunction device, and why it sucks...or lights up...or makes music... Corner coaching in Las Vegas, Joe Rogan, and The Liver Man. Marci's childhood of martini making. The best garage sale find ever. Waiting for a pet you don't really like to die. 

Turi hates being diplomatic. Marci hates spelling errors in major news sites and papers. We hate a lot of meaningless stuff. Sometimes you just have to vent a little spleen…Get off my lawn!

When your whole household is down with an ugly virus, you learn some interesting things about people's digestions. When DO you need a stair lift? An infomercial with a potentially deadly price. The P-Diddy trial. What not to eat off the ground.

"What kind of people need to pay full price for things?" We are flummoxed. as The Rolling Stones almost sang: You can't always get [the price] you want. Also why would a person with a boring job but no obligations be afraid to try something s/he might like? Sleeping on the couch.

When you inherit something ugly. Decorating for the fear factor: that thing you hung up in your kids' room thinking it was "cheerful". Bathroom art. Shaving…and when to skip it. The Chippendale Dancers and one revolting photo session.  

Monsoon season hits, also known as the festival of mud. Mud and Jello wrestling—gone but not forgotten. Why green M&M's are like broccoli. The meanest mom. You have to pay.

What, exactly, would you need (other than the geneticly provided equipment) to make you, or someone you know, willing to have Elon's baby? Genetic advantages. The worship of sleep. 

After a relatively benign first two minutes, we descend into tastelessness, and discuss peeing. Outdoors. Indoors. Do not eat within an hour of listening to this installment of the podcast. 

Why people eat things that will kill them (Turi has a tempting moment). A level of hell: calling a tow truck that never comes. What is your dashboard trying to tell you?

For years, Turi has given the wrong story about Marci's pregnancy. Here's the wrong story. Why it's a bad idea to bring certain people to a wedding. The fantasy of becoming a parent. Marci explains why grandchildren are different. The first Haboob (that's a dust storm, but haboob sounds better). Marci's very strange adaptive cookware. Changing the channel can be a hazard to your health.

The Marauding Cattle of Marci Persky Road. Who stole the cattle guard [hint: meth involved]? When your addict friend has a deeply held paranoid theory, or, how to put a meth addict to work.   When family planning goes awry.  

Sometimes, a TV commercial takes you to places you've never been—and makes you wish it hadn't.  

Sooner or later, all your unpleasant habits and bad deeds will be known. And we probably did them first. There will be blood—all colors—and other bodily fluids. Goatless.  

If you don't know which you are, your family will find out….after you die. Marci's mariachi marathon in Mexico.

Things to throw out before you die. Disposing of a marital enhancement. Some people cannot be given financial advice. Does this dog-discouraging spray really taste as bad as it claims (there's only one way to find out.)    

Marci is refusing to learn new technology. It will make a fine epitaph. Resurrection of the Dire Wolf, and Marci's childhood. Turi's various categories of hokum.

When the equipment that's made for old people—is for you. The "dumb phone" solution. Should you warn someone who is about to see a crappy play/movie/concert. Can you date someone when you hate their taste? When "The Song Remains the Same"….and that song…is "Cherry Cherry." Marci has joined an online community of bots. Working out for a "donut marathon."
