This week, it’s a listener-suggested variation on a recent theme. A couple of weeks ago we explored things we keep trying even though we keep failing—so why not things we tried once and promptly dropped? Some recurring themes on what we’ve hit and quit emerge quickly. Plus: how much statisticians get down (a little bit), how much Ann’s hips lie (quite a lot), and how long you have to go to spin class to build up the necessary crotch callouses (too long).
PSA: Orthopedic Urgent Care is a thing.

It’s no longer SPOOKY HALLOWEENTIME, but your TSHE hosts can still get a little scared sometimes. From closet monsters to battery anxiety, are the Coven’s terrors always logical? No! But we are here vulnerably admitting our irrational fears to you!
In other news, the mysterious new Subaru owner is revealed in an M. Night Shymalanesque twist, Hillary talks about her adventure to Louisiana, and Ann and Meredith break down the GBBO finale (spoilers - you’ve been warned). On that note, should Hillary (a GBBO virgin) start watching the show? We’ll see! And finally, please educate us - why are there so many hockey romances?!

We try not to be too hard on ourselves around here, but occasionally we have to acknowledge the truth of our mediocrity. In that vein, Bobby, Meredith and Ann are discussing the things we’re no good at, no matter how hard we try. From athletics to food prep to animal discipline, we just keep making the effort and hoping we’ll somehow get different results. Plus, Meredith is watching (new to her) classic movies, Bobby went to listen to a washed up public servant, and this show is not about AI, all evidence to the contrary.

We’re opening the TSHE Vault this Halloween Week for a fast food classic from June 16, 2024. (Original episode #246.) Plus: A new bonus installment of Bobby Tries It So You Don’t Have To™ that’s very much on theme.
How we wrote it up last summer:
Last week’s episode turned out to be kind of a heavy one, so this week we decided to do a “quick and breezy” show about fast food. Are you a McD’s or a BK household? How does one authentically pronounce Whataburger? Where do Chipotle, Tim Horton’s and Dunkin fall on the fast food scale? And about that Subway bread…. Numerous tangents include: “onion” rings, Marty the Stop & Shop surveillance robot, and bagels (several times). Plus, Hillary’s diner nightmare, Ann is a conscientious objector to the chicken sandwich wars, and whether Bobby is a mac daddy or a daddy mac.

This week, grown adults Meredith, Hillary, Bobby and Ann gather to tackle one of life’s great questions: How do we—again, grown adults—make friends? Where do we go? What do we do? And how do we not know the answer and yet somehow know Meetup is not the answer?
We just want to be in someone’s Top 8.

Your TSHE crew has been all over the place the past few weeks (both geographically and metaphysically), so we thought it was a great time for another edition of a SMALL TALK SPECTACULAR!! Some topics include: a Bible review (sorta kidding), a mousening update, Hillary’s perceived doppelganger, an apple filled weekend, and a fun journey into American healthcare. We, of course, get into some tangents - an Ed Hochuli appreciation corner, surviving Rutherford B. Hayes, and an appearance from the alternate Robert Pape!

The TSHE crew is out and about this week, so please enjoy this classic episode from September 24, 2023.
The music we listen to in our youth stamps an imprint on our souls, whether we want it to or not. So, Hillary, Meredith, and Ann are heading back to the 90s to revisit some of the (mostly) one-hit wonders that still live in the recesses of our brains. Mediocre musicianship, uninspired composition, and narrow vocal range aside, these tunes are catchy, y’all. Which song (surprisingly) passes the Bechdel test? Whose parents schlepped her to two mediocre concerts in two days? Which Audrey Hepburn classic was actually the inspiration for a radio juggernaut? Plus, an OJ update, palm tree hair, and Wilford Brimley-related trauma.

Bakers: Welcome to Pi(e) Week! It’s episode 314, and unlike when we blew past our chance to pay tribute to the band 311, there was no chance we could let 314 go by without talking pi(e). Be careful if you’re hungry as most of this episode is about food, though we do take a few minutes to talk math, Bobby’s whereabouts from the last couple of weeks, and your thoughts on etiquette faux pas.

The same movie seemingly everyone else is talking about this week.
(No, not that one, though Hillary will probably recommend that one soon enough.)

Today the Coven is putting on our advice columnist hats as we discuss the mysteries of manners and etiquette. What is the social lubricant that helps us keep the good will of our friends and neighbors? Honestly, it all boils down to being aware that you’re not the only person in the world. We spend an inordinate amount of time puzzling over the intricacies of table manners, the geographic component of saying hi to strangers, and the tricky timing of door-holding. Also on the docket this episode: Rory’s artistic weekend, the Return of the Mousening, and Meredith Regrets the Error.

Do you dream about a big pile of brisket? A hot dish? A corned beef egg roll? Well, do we have a show for you! Today the Coven (™) is talking about all our favorite and least favorite regional delicacies! Come for the Tex Mex, stay for the lingonberries and Detroit style pizza!
In small talk, Hillary describes her Monday night concert going experience. Teens, tweens, and toddlers screaming for a kid named Malachi? Sure! Also, Meredith has an exciting time on a new (to her) mode of transportation. And our guy, Bear, has a big birthday! Cats - they grow up so fast!

All aboard the Orient Express as the TSHE book club reconvenes to discuss a famous mystery classic by Agatha Christie. How did we feel about Hercule Poirot and his little grey cells? Pretty good, it turns out. He’s “not a punk” like Sherlock Holmes, so he’s got that going for him. Plus, Bobby dips into garbage talk, Ann resolves her car dilemma, and we’ve got lots of ED (emergency department) stories from the listeners.

We’re no Dr. Robbys or Nurse Danas, but your TSHE hosts have had some times in emergency rooms (departments?) and urgent cares and let’s just say - experiences vary! From glorious vomiting (sorry) to head staples (again, sorry), we will thrill you with our medical tales of woe.
In confusing news, we have a detailed discussion about the Uncrustaburger at the Minnesota State Fair (as pictured above). What’s going on here? We continue to discuss TV dads (some of them are…bad) and their beautiful late 80s/early 90s hair. Also, the NY Times Customer service continues to not be the NY Times of customer service (thanks, Luke Burbank)!
PSA - Next week! We’re continuing the TSHE Book Club with Murder on the Orient Express!

This week, we’re talking TV dads. The ones we love. The ones we don’t. And the ones who haven’t aged well. (Here’s looking at you, Cliff Huxtable.) Plus: Bobby’s a little out of it, Hillary’s seeing halos, Meredith’s going rogue with a chain saw, and we all love John Goodman.
And a book club alert: We’ll be reading the classic Murder (or Muck Duck, if you will) on the Orient Express. Get ready for intrigue, tangents and inevitable mustache talk.

There were some last-minute scheduling issues this week, so we had to forgo recording and search the TSHE vault to find an appropriate substitute episode. Please enjoy, and we promise we’ll be back next week!
It’s no secret that here at TSHE we looooove to talk about food, and this episode is no different. Accordingly, we’re riding a river of oil to the Webster Firemen’s Carnival to check in on the good, the bad, and the ugly of fair food (Renaissance “Faires” may or may not be included). Whether it’s cased meat, fried dough, a quasi-vegetable, or the abomination that is “Australian Battered Potatoes,” we’re game to try it all. Plus, Bobby feels old, Ann reaches a medical milestone, and Hillary’s still waiting to be discovered for her special talent.

It’s time for America’s Favorite Game! Wheel of TOPICS! Get ready for an evening of fun and fortune! Just kidding! Your TSHE hosts spin the wheel of some half-baked topics not fit for a whole show. Conspiracies, old-timey phone numbers (please explain!), things that we’re over (hello, our current government), and much more. Plus, Bobby has a new favorite newspaper, and we have an in depth discussion of the Mount Rushmore of Theos. Get out of here, Theo Von, RIP Theo Huxtable, and come a little bit closer, Theo James!

After something between a decade and an eternity of talking about the show’s favorite movies, this week we select our Top 5 for our Mount Rushmore of TSHE Actors. (Shouldn’t it be four, you’re asking? Get over it, we do what we want.) Plus, a motherboy outing for a screening of another TSHE favorite, the latest chapter of a never-ending dental epic, a voice memo* from a listener whose favorite season betrays her livelihood, and our usual array of verbal flotsam and jetsam.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this voice memo.

Here at TSHE we’re all sweetness and light, and we would never dream of complaining about anything, but the recent weather has been making us miserably out of sorts. So, the Coven is reconvening to talk about the different seasons (but mostly to grouse about how much summer sucks). In theory, it should be a wonderful time full of warmth, outdoor activities, and breaks from regular life, but the reality of summer is more about uncomfortable heat, bugs, and the absence of childhood freedom. Along the way, we detour into conversations about Tom Cruise’s “weird situation,” various mythologies of the world, and the perils of plastic surgery.

It’s TSHE After Dark ™ (said in a sultry whisper). Come for some small talk about our current lives! Ann is FURIOUS, Bobby is settling in to his new (to be named) studio, and Hillary is back from the Eastern Seaboard. Stay for a deep dive into Fritz the Cat, disgusting baby shower games, finding odd refrigerators, Ken’s Salad Dressing availability, and a lot more miscellany. Also, please weigh in! Is Barack Obama right? Is ketchup only for children? President Obama - TSHE might actually disagree with you!

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 (spoiler alert, the first season does not fare well on the Bechdel Test), and our general lack of Adult Art. No, not that kind of Adult Art.

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 perfect bachelorette party food. In the Question of the Week, one of the hosts is Charles Barkley’s bff, hot bullies wear shorts and a fedora, and it’s Kirby Puckett!!!!!!! Plus, Ann’s competitive fire is raging out of control, we learn Hillary’s 1999 workplace requirements, and Mike Has Ideas in real time. Please leave the funky mustard at home.
