We’re not regular podcasters, we’re cool mom podcasters! That’s right, it’s a TSHE episode celebrating everything mom! Your veteran moms, Hillary and Christy, are joined by friends of the pod, Phyllis (you might know her?), Colleen, and Missy. It’s a fun-filled romp where we tackle parenting in COVID times, the psychology of mom guilt (and trying to fight it) and, most importantly, mommy bloggers (for example - Prairie Mamas)! MOMS! It’s hard/complicated/fun to be a mom! Enjoy our wise insight, ...

We may be cooped up at home for a while, but we’re not about to let that stop us from celebrating the spectacular pageantry, athletic accomplishment, and overblown nationalism that is the Summer Olympics. Mike, Hillary, and Ann are here to discuss our favorite (and least favorite) “events,” decide which athletes impress us the most, share some of our favorite memories, and celebrate the NBC elf that is Bob Costas. Along the way, we simplify some track and field events, add a few twists to liven ...

No one was home but your door was unlocked, so don’t be alarmed when you find Bobby, Meredith, Christy and Hillary in your bedroom following up on listener “research” stories, sharing coronavirus silver lining alerts, and breaking down lessons we wish we had learned when we were younger. (h/t Taylor Swift for the segment idea, sort of.) Also discussed: The various merits of Air Fryers, minivans, Scotch tape lamination, and several members of *NSYNC. Don’t forget to wish Hillary a great half-birt...

#29: Escape from LA Fitness We’re virtually working out with all the Jerrys, Bobby unearths his face and starts a Queen cover band, and Meredith’s (aka Megadith) talking us through the Michigan protests. It must be another episode of This Show Has Everything! We talk regrettable haircuts, listeners never agains (Ouzo, Johnny Depp, Jagermeister, blech, etc.). We also dig deep into our stalking/researching stories and (for Bobby and Hillary) our different tactics for finding out information. We pr...

A delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world. Oh, wait. That’s the 1985 movie The Stuff. Join Mike, Ann, Hillary and Bobby for a bunch of small talk, some “never again” brands, and a pickup truck cab full of thrusty stuff—with our apologies to Emmanuel Lewis. TSHE Recommends: L'Oreal P...

#27: Your Lying Face These are It’s Fine (™) times and Hillary, Christy, and Bobby are here to shepherd you through them. We weirdly talk about Hitler a fair amount (don’t worry, it’s not what you think). Hillary finds a secret forest and a new fashion moment. Bobby’s thinking about growing a hair mask. Christy discovers she's a good mom! Hillary has a small Horny Corner which ushers in the TSHE vocabulary word of the week: Zaftig ! We then follow up with some fantastic road trip stories from li...

Join Bobby, Mike and special guest Jeremy for TSHE’s inaugural bro down hoedown, because it’s about time three white guys were given a chance to make a podcast. As Ten Seven Ten’s resident road trip expert, Jeremy—broadcasting from his new Marc Maron-esque garage/den of shame office studios—recounts some of his most epic highway adventures and calendar-based misadventures. We also get an update on Jeremy’s other projects, Bobby’s email inbox, and Mike’s “Operation Johnny Potatoes.” It’s just thr...

#25: Baby Zoomers Christy, Hillary, Meredith, and Mike are podcasting professionals, and we’re here to keep y’all company in these strange times. We talk coping strategies, best/worst in COVID pop culture, and, of course, dishwasher talk! We also cover more strange appliance issues (the reveal is not what you expect), Mike clarifies/clears his throat some more, Zoom hilarity ensues, and we collectively yell at boomers (#notallboomers). Also, Mike might have his best idea yet! Indigo Chicks!! Sta...

Wherein Bobby, Ann and Mike set out with marching orders to help our non-sport listeners sound a little more like they must be in sport, but never make it past small talk. The bad news is, we failed at our mission. The good news is, this episode is peak TSHE—right down to a never-before gem from Mike, the man of 1,000 stories. We promise (looking at you, Andrea) we’ll come back to faking your way through sport talk soon. It’s not like sports are going anywhere, right? (Oh, wait.) TSHE recommends...

“2020 has been a really weird year so far.” The coronavirus is spreading like wildfire (or is it??), so Meredith, Hillary, Ann, and Christy are calling in from our bunkers to chat about COVID-19 and all the foolishness that’s springing up around it. We’ve got a firsthand report from the US epicenter, some sensible and measured analysis from the lady scientists, our emergency stockpiling decisions, and a truly bonkers theory about who is at risk. Despite the impending collapse of society, this sh...

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 installment of The Dishwasher Diaries, a Mike Has Ideas that involves toilet skee ball, a realization about Hot Topics t-shirts, a new sexy segment from Hillary, and actual helpful information from Meredith re: women’s heart attack symptoms. Plus, our least favorite food...

#21: “Are you gonna wear that?” This week, Mike, Hillary, Ann and Bobby navigate a zigzag of tangents, and crack one another up in the process. From dumpster chic and managing menageries to floppy speed-walkers and Tom Hanks’ EGOT prospects, this show is more of a complete meal than even a big bowl of Urkel-Os . Listen, enjoy, and get your pocketbooks ready for the launch of our Special Shirt™ collection. TSHE recommends: Deep Cuts | Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj King Princess Basically anything...

Hillary, Christy, Meredith, and Bobby are here to do a lotta small talk including: a wrap up of the Oscars (TSHE Livestream was LIT, yay Parasite!, why does Renee have such a strong Texas accent now??, ok, Eminem?). Then we do a little more Hillary-centric small talk - dishwasher wars and an update on her quest to make the school clerk like her (along with a shallow dive into her psyche). Also, we have an important Consumer Affairs Report (™), we discuss some fabulous romance novel titles, and w...

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so Ann, Christy, Meredith, and Mike are honoring romance with asbestos-filled teddy bears, overpriced dinners, low-quality jewelry, and a mylar heart on a stick. We wonder, what’s the point of having a day to affirm and celebrate your relationship if nobody can quite figure out what’s supposed to happen? Mike shares a story from his life where the lesson he learned was “just don’t try.” Then, we try our hands at the self-publishing industry with our pitches for the G...

The Oscars are nearly upon us, and TSHE is celebrating with one final Salute to Cinema special!

Join Bobby, Mike, and Ann as we attempt to become people of substance in this, the third week of TSHE’s Salute to Cinema. We’re talking about the journalism movies, from the silly to the sublime, that have left us thinking about tough social issues, coming-of-age tales, and the dedicated people who dig tirelessly for the truth. Plus, Mike made a colossal mistake while traveling, Bobby shares another story of when he was a teenage playa, and Ann is feeling somewhat better about the political scan...

It’s the second week of TSHE’s Salute to Cinema month, so get ready to dance like nobody’s watching as the ladies of TSHE dig into the details of our favorite dance movies. On “tap” (haha) for discussion: the perils of casting dancers instead of actors, why Australia is a weird place, and the genius of Leonard Bernstein. Along the way, we detour into Hillary’s Golden Globes roundup, liking what you like without judgment, the downside to being incredibly beautiful, why we’re scared of Eighties pu...

In honor of award season starting and the rest of the world burning, This Show Has Everything presents our January Salute to Cinema! All month, our medium talk will be dedicated to various genre of film. This week, Mike, Hillary, Ann and Bobby cover sport and the movies of sport with our personal favorites and, in one case, a definite least-favorite.

Christmas has come and gone, and Ann, Christy, and Hillary are here to recap all of their holiday adventures, which includes a drunken The Night Before Christmas reading, super fun rides down the stairs, and a 3 hour mimosa induced nap. Also, Hillary desperately tries to be the cool aunt to the teens, Ann actually is a cool aunt to the toddler, and Christy is slowly turning into a Baby Boomer. In the Question of the Week, we take down the patriarchy with our pop culture hatred (with major love f...

This week’s show has everything: Hillary’s son’s new (mildly frightening) obsession, Ann’s large household expense (which might eventually lead the TSHE team to some “fried abominations”), our amazing listeners’ Razzle Dazzles (y’all are truly talented), movies that haunted/traumatized us as children, and, conversely, movies that captured our imaginations. Also, we are obviously still talking about cheese! We ponder a fake cheese taste test. And would a cheese wedding cake be disappointing to th...

The results are in for our Cheese Challenge and boy, do you guys like cheese. We’re off to Zingerman’s University to answer some age-old questions: what’s the point without feta? Is cheddar the Pizza Hut of cheese? How good can it be, if it comes in a can? What are Kraft American Singles really made of? Plus, globe-trotting braggers, a ranch/blue cheese controversy, cheese gushers, way too many references to armpits, on-air cheese theft, a pasta detour, and Mike tries repeatedly to burn Bobby’s ...

Together we tackle a feast of a question of the week, share our holiday season recommendations, give thanks to our listeners, and fight just like a real family, only with a little less crying. Please don’t forget the room-temperature butter. Note: Turns out Kathleen's gravy recipe is more of an art than a science. Good luck!
