The gang was busy dealing with life this week, so we opened the TSHE pantry and pulled out a classic episode. Almost exactly a year ago we did a deep dive into the subject of breakfast cereals, and it’s stayed so crunchy in the milk of time (ew) that we decided to have another bowl. Please enjoy past us as we rhapsodize about the cereals of our youth, try to nail down the specifics of a complete, balanced breakfast, and share what still gets us going in the morning. Plus, a toilet update and the...

Winter is ending, spring is in the air, summer is around the corner. But those are not the seasons we’re talking about today. It’s awards season, baby and your occasional entertainment hosts are back to prognosticate on the Oscars. What should win and what will probably win. Get ready to dominate your office pool! While awards season is about to wind down, Hillary is preparing to party it up at Great Wolf Lodge. But don’t worry, that will not get in the way of her Oscar viewing. Join us on Faceb...

This week, a timeless topic: Our last meals. Are we on death row? Or just Rachel Belle’s podcast ? The reason doesn’t matter—it’s the menu we’re here to discuss. Plus: Travails of telehealth, slumber party life lessons, making (figurative) lemonade in Ohio, and making (literal) lemonade in New York.

In celebration of the long President’s Day weekend, your TSHE hosts are here to talk about leadership. From choir/thespian president to newspaper editor to the infernal group project, we discuss getting sucked in to being in charge (and get surprisingly deep/sincere, while we’re at it). Please, take it from us, just say no to the HOA Board (you’re still a good person)! In small talk, Bobby stares down the hipster path with an octogenarian friend and some roasting beans. We’re just waiting for hi...

Once again, it’s the Season of Love, but rather than celebrating enforced displays of romantic appreciation, the TSHE Coven is here to share our ideas on dates that let you know this person is NOT your soulmate. America’s national pastime, various live performances with individualized attention, trendy events, and extreme sports – they’re all under fire as examples of what would send us running. Also discussed: Ikea-related business ideas, charity soup dinners, Comedy Defensive Driving, and how ...

The TSHE Book Club is back with a vengeance and what Clive Cussler’s Sahara lacks in nutritional content, it more than makes up for in sexism, racism, and boring us back to death because we’re already dead. Actually, we enjoyed parts of the ride. But not as much as we enjoyed a special Dad Book Quiz by one Guest Producer Gregory Schreckengost. We may not be joining the Clive Hive anytime soon, but we haven’t closed the book on airport paperbacks for future group reading. Plus: -pocolpyse is the ...

Facechat, Tweeter, Ticky Tocky, Instabook - follow along as your TSHE hosts mine the depths (or shallows) of their relationship with social media. We talk about our early days on social media (where is the Live Journal archive?!), and how we feel about it all now. Some lingering questions: Will Bobby’s Santa-themed fedora pic be found? Who are these Lundholm bots? Is WhatsApp the metric system of social media? Don’t miss the hilarious and embarrassing look back at the Facebook posts of yore (ple...

The TSHE Cinema Road Trip Spectacular has finally hit the West Coast, and the Honda Odyssey is rolling into the City of Angels as we reflect on some movies that showcase the glitter and grime of Los Angeles. What do our movie picks have in common? Plenty of guns, an abundance of drugs, and a heaping helping of nudity, for starters. From brainless rich kids to crooked cops, middle-class stoners to troubled porn stars, there’s something for everyone in this show. Plus, Hillary’s been dragged into ...

Fine dining is the topic du jour and your full flight of TSHE hosts have opinions. So put a napkin in Meredith’s lap, bring Ann more ketchup without making her ask, remember Hillary’s martini should be dirty, get the Table Zamboni ready for Bobby, and have some cash ready if you expect Christy to get you a table with out waiting at Tony Roma’s, A Place For Ribs.

It’s the first week of 2023 and we’re starting off with what’s become a semiannual tradition - cue the MIDI Entertainment Tonight music! That’s right, your TSHE entertainment correspondents are here to discuss the pop culture we loved, maybe hated, and gossip we couldn’t stop talking about. Christy and Hillary discuss a ton of pop culture topics including the state of the mid-tier movie, theater going in general, what we’re looking forward to in 2023, and, of course, Haz & Meg!

The calendar is rolling over, so we’re sitting around in TSHE Studios reflecting on the year that was. From food (oeufs, anyone?) to finance, entertainment to exercise, we’re sharing the things that sparked the most joy for us in 2022. Plus, our Christmas roundup, life updates big and small, and the Pudding Pact has reached its inevitable conclusion. TSHE Recommends: Pelosi in the House Old Enough (Season 2) Connect with the show!

We're taking a little bit of respite to enjoy the holidays with our fams, so this week we bring you something seasonal! A look into superstition! Along with being Birthday Month™ in the TSHE Universe, October brings the Coven out to get spooooky. Bite into our Stevie Wonder sandwich and discover the superstitions we’re mostly, kinda, pretty sure aren’t real things? The Lady Scientists are skeptical, while the Lady Non-scientists talk a lot about how numbers feel. Hillary thinks she may be clairv...

Credit score-havers Ann, Hillary, and Meredith have all slid down the slippery slope of credit card debt, so today we’re reflecting on the whys (we were poor, duh), the hows (guys, don’t link your credit card to your bank), and the whats (all of Target) that got us there. But never fear, it’s not all stories of anxiety and low-level check kiting! We’re also talking about what we did to rehabilitate our financial report cards, how we practice healthy credit habits now, how boob health correlates ...

TSHE loves a beverage and this week we’re talking about the drinks that do the work, non-alcoholically. From Diet Coke (obviously) to Sleepytime Tea we cover the spectrum of the things we imbibe to keep us going throughout the day and put us to sleep at night. One thing we know for sure - it burns so good! In small talk, Christy comes up with a new show segment - “Whatcha Watchin?” in which the hosts discuss things we might not necessarily endorse but want to discuss regardless. Also, Ann brings...

TSHE’s latest Thanksgiving Spectacular continues as Ann, Hillary and Bobby continue talkin’ turkey—this time, figuratively. From flipping the bird (or is it flicking?) to the poultry’s place in everything from cessation to bowling. And of course, some on-brand tangents along the way, like how Ann lost a weekend to going DC-free, Hillary allegedly looks like Debi Mazar, and Bobby recently discovered he’s coconut-curious.

Thanksgiving is here again and Ann, Hillary and Bobby are talkin’ turkey with a two-part seasonal spectacular! This week, your holiday trio takes on turkey, literally. Turkeys in nature, turkeys on our tables, turkeys on parade, gravy crudités, dark meat dilemmas, everyone’s favorite spatchcocking, and so much more. Plus: Bobby missed impending thundersnow, Hillary didn’t miss the sausage fest, and Ann loves *the idea of* a turkey leg. TSHE Recommends The Crown - mostly for height reasons Connec...

The Canada geese are heading south, but here at TSHE, the surest sign of fall is a new season of The Great British Bake Off. We would never let this annual gathering of amateur bakers pass without celebrating, so the lady scientists are here to break it down. From Scandinavian sandwiches to putrid pizzas, we’ve got opinions on it all (and even though it might sound like complaining, we criticize out of love, people). Lovely and endearing contestants? Check? Baking inspiration? Check. Lots and lo...

It always feels so much better when you get rid of clutter, doesn’t it? In this spirit, Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are cleaning out the TSHE closet of show ideas – some good, some bad, and some semi-indecipherable. From food smell spectrum to credit cards, parental failings to keyboard losses, TSHE cribs (what?) to rapper dressings (double what?), we’re sorting through every dumb thought we’ve jotted down for future use.

It’s Spooky Halloweentime (™), and your TSHE hosts are here to talk all about monsters - the monsters we loved and the monsters that scarred us for life. We also discuss why vampires are so dang sexy (are they?) and the history of the General Mills’ monsters. In small talk, Hillary prepares for the big day/weekend while detailing her previous big weekend. She and Ann agree that 44 is a nice number (11!) before Ann gives a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday (by Stevie, of course). Finally we real...

Ann, Christy, and Hillary have managed to tear Jeremy away from the hit Bravo reality tv show Below Deck (a tip of the cap to Captain Lee) to fill in another of his pop culture gaps: 80’s kid movie classic The Goonies. Join us in the Goondocks (not a real place) as we talk pre-teen crushes, asthma misinformation, One-Eyed Willy, flappy-ear animatronics, our terror of Anne Ramsey, questionable music theory, child violence, evil land developers, and a myriad of cinema tropes. Plus, pest control wi...

It’s finally here. The TSHE Coven has convened in their candy house, surrounded the cauldron, and summoned their foremothers. Yes, we’re talking witches! We talk to an actual (former) witch, discuss why we would probably be burned at the stake (or some other sadistic sentence), describe the type of witch we would be, and finally, decide on our Mount Rushmore witches. Welcome to spooky (and birthday) season, y’all! In small talk, Hillary’s Harry start to the week devolves into quite the household...

In a segment that might as well have been titled, “My Body is Wrong, and So is My Personality,” we share some of the offhand remarks, misguided compliments(?), and just plain insults we’ve received over the years and haven’t been able to forget. From elementary school cruelty to weird salespeople’s unsolicited opinions to … Ann’s grandma, we’re covering it all. We even found a few positives to highlight! Plus, Hillary’s gearing up for the concert of the decade, Meredith went on a weekend adventu...

We’ve got a cute calf, some virulent racists, a narcissistic, murderous husband, some teen hackers, and a couple of housewives. What does that mean? That means it’s time for another episode of the TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular!

The start of the (figurative and literal) school year has left us all running a bit ragged, so we’re kicking back with a Small Talk Spectacular ™ and catching up on what’s been going on in our lives. Christy met up with Ann for a trip to the Great Minnesota Get Together (the cookies are real, and they’re spectacular). Bobby witnessed the finest behavior that central/upstate New York has to offer. Hillary’s already tired of homework. Plus, a prestigious new title, your 9-character AOL handles, Th...

Bobby recounts meeting an old online friend (long before this batch of internet friends), Hillary tells the tale of her alleged brush with fame, and Meredith wept, seeing as she had no more foreign language chats to conquer.

We are strong. We are invincible. But sometimes we’re real dum-dums. I’m Hillary Livingston Butler and this show has everything! this week we’re discussing times when maybe all of our brain power melted away and we made some extremely dumb mistakes that cost us some serious dinero. Stupid outlets, expensive vacuum cleaners, littering - we’ve paid for them all! Or in the words of Ann, we were charged the Dumdum Tax!

It’s the last (for now) episode in our travel series, and we still need to talk about what makes the experience work just a little more smoothly for us. Accordingly, Ann, Bobby, and Meredith are taking the Subaru, hanging up a garbage quiver, and delving into a whole bunch of travel tips, large and small, including all the gems you submitted. In between the National Emerald Club aisle and the lobby of the Hampton Inn, we detour off the highway to get into some pillow talk (not the good kind), po...
