Little Red Bandwagon

You’ve been waiting for it (we’ve just been really really busy...)! It’s the return of the TSHE Moms Council!  We’re rejoicing in this historic election as well as talking back to school nonsense/situations, a nanny soap opera, pod politics, supply drama, lies involving children, and much more. All that with maybe a touch of celebratory champagne! We (Hillary) couldn’t resist!Additionally, Hillary has a Covid scare (along with a lovely birthday wish), Christy returns to reality, and Phyllis gets a surprise package.  Also, we remember how deeply naughty Grease is. Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, GET YOUR FLU SHOT, let your voice be heard, and know that we love you very much!

#57: The Real Answer to These Problems is Very BoringI think we can agree that 2020 has been a rough year, and we’re all looking for something to help us feel better. Unfortunately, not all treatments are created equal -some are straight-up quackery- and that’s why we’ve formulated a clinical-strength episode devoted to the problematic “lifestyle brand” Goop. We discuss the allure of “health and wellness” practitioners-for-profit, how we should react to their dubious claims, and decide at what point fun aspirational dreaming can become dangerous. Also, what should we actually be doing with those jade eggs (NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING)? Plus, early-adopter Hillary shares her post-birthday debrief, while both Meredith and Ann have tales of house trauma to share (any story that involves the phrase “floor muck” or a large tarp is not going to be a positive one!).Here's the Bloomberg article we referencedCheck out Dr. Jen GunterPlease use the NIH National Library of Medicine instead of GoogleTSHE Recommends: PHIL'S BA

In honor of her birthday, Hillary leads Christy, Ann and Bobby through a list of 27 of her favorite things! Grab your favorite bike shorts, crop top and fanny pack, and settle in for a show we were extremely excited to record, and not just because it meant the rest of us could coast while Hillary did all of the work. Plus: An overdue Jamtracker™ update, more cracker talk, the battle to be America’s #1 Finger Hat, and so much more.TSHE RecommendsSense8You’re Wrong About: The President's Physical Fitness TestThe Trial of the Chicago 7Two Cathedrals (West Wing season 2 finale)Shameless Amazon Plug of the WeekThis Heating PadConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Is anybody feeling hungry? If you aren’t now, we guarantee you will be once you’ve listened to this show. Meredith, Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are slicing up some cheese, grabbing a jar of fig jam, and talking about crackers. From the platonic ideal of a Triscuit, to a “meat essence” salt bomb, to staples of our childhood, to what we serve when we’re being fancy, we’ve got thoughts about crackers. There’s a live taste test, disposable mini-plates, the Saltine Cracker Challenge, and some delicious little cannibal bites. Plus, Bobby introduces another new segment, both Meredith and Ann have shocking diet soda-related confessions, and we find out which movie Hillary’s ashamed she hasn’t seen.Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week:SafeWare [2oz-200 set] Disposable Clear Plastic Jello Shot Cups with LidsTSHE Recommends:The World's Most Extraordinary HomesEmily in ParisConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Join the 3/4s Coven as we find ourselves walkin’ in Memphis with Tom Cruise (and his blousy shirts and back flips) and the Man in Black and try to do complex geometry to get John Glenn into space (and cry and marvel at Janelle Monae‘s beauty). That’s right! We’re back on our road trip and traveling through (what we're calling) Appalachia!We also celebrate the most important 10/7/10 birthday (and horrific accident), Hillary’s journey to freedom, and maybe do a tinnnnnnny bit of righteous indignation about the current state of politics.  Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, GET YOUR FLU SHOT, let your voice be heard, vote, and know that we love you very much!

With the general election less than a month away, Bobby, Meredith, Hillary and Christy look back on their first voting experiences, and their favorite politicians—all with liberal preaching kept to a minimum.

This week TSHE is pondering good vs evil and we’ve decided to make it personal. In that spirit, we’re bringing our various levels of knowledge to the topic of superheroes and supervillains and, more specifically, which ones do we think we are? Do some supervillains have a point? Why do comic characters have such terrible names? When should we “stick to hating Nazis?” In host news, Hillary is faced with a terrifying parental milestone. Meredith did her research in the most millennial way. Christy has puzzle problems. You wouldn’t like Ann when she’s angry. And Bobby debuts his new segment, “Pen 15 (Minutes).” Plus, an Emmys roundup, The American President, “interregnum” and other buzzy words, and dress code pitfalls.

It’s been a long year, and it’s not over yet. But, Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Christy are here to help make it at least a little better with an expanded magazine-style TSHE Recommends Fall Happiness Edition! From food and drink to books, games and TV shows, we are full of advice backed up by widely varying levels of expertise. One thing we know for certain: the country can be healed with pies.This episode also includes: RBG (may her memory be a blessing), an ’80s-style moving-in montage, and the myriad ways our listeners were weird children / are probably still weird adults.Be sure to listen through to the very end if you want to know why this episode was almost titled “the science of dick Scrunchies.”TSHE Recommends Fall Happiness Edition linksPie recipes from Ann:Black Bottom Oatmeal PieApple-Pear Crumble PieStella Parks' Double-Chocolate Cream PieNectarine Raspberry Pie App for finding where to stream things from Christy:JustWatch - The Streaming GuideOffice creature comforts from Bobby:uni-ball Vision Elite

Join The Coven (™) as we take a walk down memory lane and remember all the things we thought we knew as children but turned out were mostly wrong (or weird)! What are the customs we thought were normal until we left the house? What odd thing did we grow up believing?  How and why did our parents, families, and friends lead us astray? Why did the Wise family eat cake so strangely?? So many questions!Additionally, we discuss Hillary’s school year survival (maybe), Christy’s (in)ability to breathe, and Bridget’s continuing teen movie education. Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, GET YOUR FLU SHOT, let your voice be heard, and know that we love you very much!

It’s the official unofficial end of summer, so the TSHE crew is packing up all our white clothes and taking some time to reflect on the summer that wasn’t. From markets to fairs to family to foods, Christy, Meredith, Mike, and Ann sit down to look back on all the things we missed. But it’s not all sadness and regret, as we look forward to the coming fall and detour into discussions about potential YouTube fame, local elections, cheese on fish, superhero promotions, corncob preferences, and easy political activism. We probably shouldn’t have joked about keeping women in Mike’s (nonexistent) basement, but it’s been a dark year, guys.Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: 100 Pack of Blank PostcardsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

The end of summer typically means one thing in the Stick of Butter Studios: it’s time for the Minnesota State Fair! Unfortunately, the dumpster fire that is 2020 has destroyed everything that is beautiful, so the best we can do is to share what the Fair means to those of us who enthusiastically attend. Ann quickly realized she couldn’t possibly cram all her love for the Great Minnesota Get Together into a few sentences, so she dialed up a couple of special guests to reminisce over Fairs past and help plan next year’s TSHE in-person road trip. Topics of discussion include zipper-loving goats, extreme mobile trampolining tricks, sad cookie corpses, Princess Kay of the Milky Way, weird and/or delicious foods (with or without a stick), and Tales From the Haunted Mansion.  Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

The THSE Summer Cinema Road Trip Spectacular rolls onto the Windy City as Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Mike discuss some beloved (and not-so-loved) Chicago movies. From “toxic jockulinity” and parade float lip-syncing to a one-armed man and Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows, this show is almost as big as Chicago’s shoulders, because that’s apparently a thing they say there.Also featured: Mike’s rebuttal to criticism of his speeding “system,” the humble beginnings of Hillary’s “fanny pack” collection, Ann’s objection to the term “fanny pack,” Bobby’s “Bills” prowess, and a delightfully shameful bevy of listener confessions. Just remember, we are all doing our best. Or at least, adjacent to our best.TSHE recommends:Boulez conducts Stravinsky, a 6CD setConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Listen. We’re not perfect. We’ve done a few things over the years that we’re not proud of, and it’s time for a family meeting to discuss them. The ladies of TSHE have a few confessions to make that include dumb decisions, hidden character flaws, illegal substances, and shocking levels of deception. Hillary had some destructive impulses. Ann is not as generous a person as she wishes. Christy perpetrated Olive Garden fraud. And we’re printing up business cards for Meredith Van Harn, Professional Liar. Plus, famous confessions in history, new fashion frontiers, a doorway to another dimension, a plea for allies, and your pet pics. So many pet pics.

We’re back on the road for another edition of the TSHE Summer Road Trip Spectacular, and we’ve got a new batch of movies through which we’re exploring America from the COVID-free confines of our couches. Meredith, Mike, and Ann have a lot of brake pads to sell, so we’re hopping in our vintage convertible and heading through the – well, let’s just call it the Northern Rust Belt, okay? It’s simpler. There’s a heaping helping of Gen X cynicism, some misty-eyed Fifties idealism, another crop of problematic comedies, and a grouchy weirdo who finds his own version of peace and happiness. Mike shares the story of his stimulus “check” mishap. Ann waxes rhapsodic over DQ cakes. Meredith is a difficult first contact. Plus, our high school mascots and an inspiring sports chant!Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: NaturVet –Quiet Moments Calming Aid for Cats Plus MelatoninConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’re about to enter month 6 (!!!!!!!!) of quarantine, so your TSHE hosts decided to do a little check in. How are we feeling about everything? Hint - some are handling it better than others. But in slightly sunnier news, we discuss things that we hope stick around once (if) we return to normal. A silver linings plaguebook (™ Bobby), if you will? Mostly we realize that bras can go to hell!All this plus we highlight and praise (NOT roast) some of your fabulous Amazon purchases, talk about saving Space Camp (let’s do it for Ann, y’all), Meredith’s return to the Money Pit, Hillary’s major beef with PCHH and, obviously, a little tangent into McConaughey Town. Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, let your voice be heard, and know that we love you very much!

Live from Breakout Room #5, Bobby and Mike make their triumphant return to the show to regale Ann with tales of their recent adventures on the open road, and Ann recounts how she was recently ambushed by a virtual attempt at forced networking.

Okay TSHE, we've had a problem here...Your TSHE crew is pretty sick of the shenanigans down on earth, so Ann, Hillary, and Jeremy are blasting off and heading to space! To commemorate the 51st anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, we discuss why we love space, the insane scale of space and time, and, of course, some pop culture related to space. Space brings people together! Also, are we all meeting in Texas for the next eclipse? Let’s do it!Come for space and stay for some other scintillating topics including masks, Russian vodka/Boris Yeltsin, parking woes, parental issues, Jim Lovell, Tom Skerritt, and Hamilton (obviously). Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, let your voice be heard, and know that we love you very much!

The fearless TSHE Coven (™) has reconvened, and we’re trading the Sienna in for the American made Pacifica and journeying west to Detroit! Hop in with us on our occasional roadtrip spectacular as we discuss the (sometimes yikes yikes yikes) movies that make us think of Hitsville USA! Of course we also ask several probing questions: Why did white dudes hate disco so much? Why did John Cusack have to barge in on a radio show (and stand out of a girl’s window with a boombox and be such a jerk to women in general)? Why does Kim Basinger have a southern accent? Why is Jennifer Hudson so awesome? Regardless, we’re all moving to Detroit!Additionally, we tackle toxic masculinity (exhausting and dangerous to everyone) and mask shaming (probably not effective).Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, let your voice be heard, and know that we love you very much!

The guys have wandered off on the vast open road, which means that the TSHE Coven is bringing some feminine energy to the show this week. We’ve got a real grab bag of our signature segments, which include the miscarriage of justice on a number of levels, some second-guessing of the American experiment, petty grievances that we just can’t let go, and a title in the Horny Corner that Hillary is almost too embarrassed to say out loud. Also, Hamilton talk (c’mon, you knew that was coming).Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: Lift Tall Adjustable Height Computer Monitor StandArticles we referenced on forensic science:Accuracy and reliability of forensic latent fingerprint decisionsPseudoscience in the Witness BoxTrial by FireExpert witness goes nuts during questioning for Mississippi death penalty caseBooks for white people to read:So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma OluoHow to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X.
