We are days away from the 2024 Met Ball, one of the most exciting fashion days of the year, so, naturally, your TSHE hosts are here to talk style! What is our personal style? Trendy? Classic? Non-existent? How has it changed over the years? Why are stretchy pants the best? And why is everything a crop top??! In small talk, Hillary faces a parenting nightmare, Ann finally bit the new bed bullet (and has the bruises to show for it), and Bobby Pape, Local Guy, is now a paid art critic of seniors. W...

Bobby, Ann, and Meredith are joined by TSHE Special Correspondent Jeremy to talk about his epic road trip from Seattle to Dallas (and back). It was a journey marked by natural wonders, road travel hacks, an 18-hour detour, the presence of border control 70 miles from the border, aggressive behavior by a semi-truck, and airport misadventures. Plus, optimal lanyard length, a strangely long discussion about Steve Hartman, and the introduction of Bobby Pape, Brand Ambassador. TSHE Recommends: Beyond...

Your TSHE hosts have been all over the place both mentally and physically these past few weeks! Did Hillary dance to the Hey Dude theme in Tucson? Did we all get raptured during the eclipse?

We talk A LOT about snacks including popcorn, pretzel shapes, Auntie Ann’s, M&M fillings, bulk candy stores, potato chip history.

We had a week of scheduling issues, so please enjoy this episode from the vault, which is perfectly timed for this week’s solar eclipse. Remember not to look directly at the sun! Original show notes: 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, an...

What’s the deal with kids (and adults) these days and their Stanley cups? Yes, your TSHE hosts are showing their age and taking on some fads that podcasters, like parents, just don’t understand.

Did Rory steal the declaration of independence? Did Bridget storm the capitol to protest a potential TikTok ban? We’ll let you know because it’s a TSHE small talk spectacular! The partial Coven has convened to discuss all the miscellaneous goings on in their lives. Ann might have brain damage, Meredith’s dealing with a confusing animal hunger strike, and Hillary’s staring at a wall. All that, and a crazy quiz/personality test (that everyone needs to take)!? What more could you ask for? TSHE Reco...

Here at TSHE we are nothing if not supportive of US Governmental services, so for this show Bobby, Meredith, and Ann are talking about the US Postal Service (as well as other ancillary delivery services). Along the way we cover pen pals, mail hacks, delivery gripes, a show stamp conflict, and our official Top Five letter carriers list. Plus, the liminal space of Olive Garden, ill-gotten toffee, thrift store arbitrage, our individual pedantic pet peeves, and Bobby’s search for a giant hamster wat...

Shots! Shot! Shots! This week, the TSHE crew looks back on the spring breaks of our youth. Fun in the sun and nights in the club? More like work, grandparents and a Cheeseburger in Paradise. And be careful with those wet T-shirts in these wind chills. Plus: Movie talk, a traffic rant, and a far-too-thoughtful-for-this-episode remembrance of a friend. There’s light speed, there’s warp speed, and there’s Polly speed. TSHE Recommends This Double Feature of Womanhood Somebody Feed Phil - Season 7 Co...

Open wide and say ahh because it’s Episode Toof-Hurty, and your TSHE hosts are going deep on oral health. From cavities to root canals implants and, well, failed root canals, we’ve seen and felt it all. Plus: Bobby went to Aruba and the Pizza Hut pizza was bad. Hillary went to Nashville and missed the Nazi parade. Ann went to Switzerland (a long time ago) and has a fluoride-free theory about it. And Meredith went the first 18 years of her life without a cavity, only to have her mouth make up for...

The gang is (mostly) otherwise occupied this week, so please enjoy this TSHE Classic from the last Valentine’s Day of our pre-pandemic innocence. We’ll see you next week! Original Show Notes: 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 ...

Ann, Hillary, and Meredith are here for a TSHE After Hours where we discuss a panoply of topics. Subjects include Indiana Jones rankings, couches, accents, safari suppers (??), protein, and, weirdly, the cuteness of snakes. It’s a hotpot episode if you will!

Hillary is intrigued and will give her official review soon. TSHE Recomm...

We’ve spent a lot of energy talking about silver linings on this show (the pandemic, anyone?), but now it’s time to flip the script and discuss what we’re calling the lead linings – those small drawbacks to things that are otherwise positives in our lives. From choosing the burn (muscles) to choosing the burn (taste buds), being resigned to bad hair days and rashy skin, and the drawbacks of being (gulp) responsible adults, we’re embracing the downsides. Plus, Hillary’s Hitchcock review, Ann is f...

It’s that week of the year where you don’t really know what day it is. You’re eating cookies for breakfast and maybe having a shower beer!

This week, we’re talking commercials; specifically, the earworm-y jingles that live in the far recesses of our brains, (like those fish that are so deep in the ocean that they’re bioluminescent freaky things). Everybody’s picking their most indelible jingles, and if you don’t know all of these (hyper-local ads excluded), where have you been for the last 40 years? Plus, we ponder a few of life’s essential questions. Namely, are classifieds still a thing? Did all 80’s media end with a mid-air free...
