Little Red Bandwagon

Get out your bottle of chard, listeners!  It's time for another installment of the TSHE Book Club! This week, we discuss The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Discussion points include: Could Ann possibly live in Carrot Stick studios? Is magical realism cool or a cop-out? Could you improv your way in a different version of your life? How does consent work in this world? Does anyone have life figured out? So many questions that break our brains! In small talk, Meredith is (kinda, sorta) giving up on a habit while Ann is picking it up (BEZOS!). We also take a brief trip down memory lane to discuss some truly terrible MTV videos that haunted our youths. And praise-be, Ann is reviving her Ho-based rating system for the Netflix Classic (?) Hometown Holiday. Should us city-dwellers be offended by this movie? Probably! TSHE Recommends:Tick Tick BoomConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

#113: Family KetchupThe Thanksgiving holiday was long and stressful, plus we’re still kinda in our feelings around here, so this week we’re hanging out and doing a TSHE family catch up. We’ve got debriefs on our various Turkey Day shenanigans, with topics including pie futures, the masculinity of coin-collecting, a turkey’s “inner life,” and how Bobby is a very extremely good son. Meredith hit a bullseye re: NPR on-the-nose music choices, Lundholm Construction LLC is back in business, Bobby has a fascinating recommendation conundrum, and we confront Hillary about palling around town with DJ Jen Lasher. Plus, your lovely thoughts about Mike.TSHE Recommends: PassingKing RichardWKRP in Cincinnati FlagConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

This week, we remember our friend and longtime co-creator Mike Frizzell.Share your favorite Mike memories and moments with us on Facebook or via email or voice memo to tshe@tenseventen.com.

Editor’s note: This episode was recorded before Mike Frizzell died on November 13, 2021. While we address it at the top of the show, we will discuss in much more depth shortly. RIP, our Veteran Podcaster (™).The TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular flies into Earth’s orbit back into the Toyota Sienna and up the road to Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas! And your crew has a lot of questions. Does Dalton have a PhD? Is LaBouef dumb or menacing? Are we cool girls? Why is the Blaine, MO orchestra so good? Why are these states so violent?! Bottom line - we just really, really want to party with Truman Capote.In small talk, Hillary’s kids are partially vaxxed! They also watched a mildly inappropriate movie (whoops). And Bobby’s welcomes a new orange Fella to the Pape family! And our favorite Boomer shows us how to live without a cell phone. Can you even imagine?P.S. - TSHE Book Club Pt 3 is coming!

We’ve talked about candy so much recently that we decided we should make some of our own, so the TSHE Kitchens have re-opened to allow Ann to coach Meredith, Hillary, and Christy through the sticky chemistry of making marshmallows. Turn on your front left burner, prep your mixer for some hard work, CTRL-SHIFT-R your pdf (because you’re not a boomer), and follow along as the temperature on the candy/meat thermometer rises. Plus, a birthday journey recap, more real talk about money and financial choices, Christy regrets the error(s), and Ann has a brilliant business idea.TSHE Recommends: Elyse Myers on TikTokConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’re tackling a big topic this week, so Ann, Christy, and Meredith finish their Honey Nut Cheerios, park their light blue Volkswagen Beetle convertibles, and settle into talk about personal finances. And yes, we give specific numbers. From our family histories to our financial philosophies, we’re sharing how we think and feel about money, as well as some of the mistakes we’ve made along the way. Did you lack an understanding of basic finance? Were you bullied because of your Costco membership status? How far did you get under the thumb of J.Crew? One thing we learned is that we should all probably have a Sherrie in our life. Plus, a mid-season check-in on The Great British Baking Show, a visit to the Anatomy of Death Museum (how would you like your body disposed of?), and why nobody should light a flame near Mom’s car.TSHE Recommends:The Repair ShopButt NewsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s Spooky Halloween Time (Spooky Halloween Time!) and Bobby, Christy, Hillary and Ann have gathered to discuss the most important part of this sacred season—the candy. From top treats to worst tricks and childhood memories to adult stashing strategies, this episode is the house that gives out full-size bars in the cul-de-sac that is your podcatcher.Also included this week: Bobby is a candy corn convert, Ann refuses to be cold this winter, Hillary can’t contain herself during a conversation about the length and girth of Tootsie Rolls, Christy has been granted a reprieve from the startling sounds of monster farts, listeners tell us where they’ve gotten lost, and we all fall down a rabbit hole about ‘90s TV classics.

Getting lost is a communal fear of some of your TSHE hosts. While we all (obviously) have a good sense of direction now, Meredith, Bobby, and Hillary discuss their tales of being adrift. Whether it is in the wilds of Hawaii, on the mean streets of Grand Rapids, or even in our own damn neighborhood, getting lost is completely disorienting, frustrating, and mostly just sucks. But at least you get a funny story out of it (unless you end up in Waco)!In small talk, Hillary’s parental smugness leads to karmic retribution, Bobby has a run-in with a possible former Batmobile, and Meredith is eating all the potato and pasta-based meals on her single lady weekend. Does she know how to party or what?? Also, all of y’all are making the outside of planes dirty!TSHE Recommends:Taskmaster Season 4Daisy Jones & The SixConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

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 clairvoyant. Meredith should be an X-Man (X-Person?) Christy’s wish karma lets her down. Ann pushes a wishbone discussion down a grotesque path. Plus, you’d think the devil has better things to do than hang around 24/7, and we have the hookup for all your ghost-hunting needs. Oh, and we spend a lot of time talking about cake.

Ready. Set. Talk about Great British Bake Off! Join Ann, Meredith and Bobby for a special celebration of GBBO and a discussion of the premiere episode of the show’s latest season. Note: This episode contains spoilers for Episode 1 of the latest season—nothing is left shrouded in gingham here. Plus: Meredith issues an update on Bear, Ann issues an apology to Jeremy, and Bobby just has issues.TSHE Recommends I mean, come on, what else would it be this week Connect with the show!

Today we have a pop culture extravaganza!!  Movies, podcasts, tv, what have you! It’s basically an oversized TSHE recommends. Christy and Hillary break down the Emmys (good wins, bad wins, and what’s the deal with B Positive?). Also, Jeremy makes a return appearance to tell us what he’s been up to - road trips in South Dakota (or a Dakota?), battling the productivity beast, space, you know, the usual! We eventually get to our recent pop culture obsessions. Buckle up! We have a lot of suggestions for you. And, finally, season 2 of Ted Lasso is great (but get out of here, Zach Braff)!TSHE Recommends (all of our obsessions):JeremyInfluencers in the WildDriving around/Learning about History (specifically American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon and How the West was Fucked)RedditSpace Stuff (specifically One Strange Rock and For All Mankind - movie and tv show)HillaryThe Other TwoBad Blood: The Final ChapterSouthlakeChristyOnly Murders in the BuildingLife After MLMReservation DogsMiscTed Lasso (hahaha)Cosrx Pimp

Current ongoing catastrophes have left us with some extra time to fill; from sourdough “mothers” to incomplete jigsaw puzzles, the entire world has had to develop some new interests, and TSHE’s Coven is no different. We’re talking about our hobbies this week - not only the new ones, but also the ones we’ve nurtured for many years. From arts and crafts to physical exertion to whatever this show is, we have a rich roster of interests to dig through. Meredith is a loyal subject of King Arthur. Hillary’s raising her pulse. Ann has an odd burial request. Christy’s into other people’s drama. Plus, we take another trip to the Horny Corner!Take the quizzes to find out what hobby you should have: How to Choose a Hobby from Hobby LarkThe ever-present Buzzfeed quizTSHE Recommends: LuLaRichFive BedroomsFrom the Horny Corner: Boyfriend Material by Alexis HallFrom Listener Scott: StarcrashConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

The TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular has launched into space! From space bugs to primers to a bevy of 80’s babes, your very, very competent TSHE hosts are hoping to land this show safely in White Sands with oxygen to spare. A sample of some questions we ask - do Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster have chemistry (no)? Is Wall-E more depressing now (yes)? Is Jessica Chastain beautiful (yes, but maybe slightly too glamorous for an astronaut)? Who should’ve played Johnny Rico (JOSH BROLIN!)? One thing we know for sure, we have to group our Skerritts and our Buseys!In other news, Hillary has both a great and disgusting time in Galveston. Our listeners give us some lovely feedback as to what they would do if money and insurance weren’t a concern (y’all are very good people).  And if you send us a voice memo, we promise we won’t cuss you out! TSHE Recommends:We don’t have anything, but Space Camp is free on YouTube!Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

In honor of Episode 101, we’re going back to school by answering your questions about ourselves and the show. Bobby goes topical fast, Christy’s in deep vacation mode, Ann is doing some edgy backwards chair-sitting, and Meredith is a criminal bully wetland heiress. At a minimum, this episode should tide you over until we get Montessori Memories off the ground. But if you have a few extra minutes to spare, check out some classic Bobby Vinton.TSHE Recommends Between the World and MeOh My F*cking God, Get the F*cking Vaccine Already, You F*cking F*cksConnect with the show!

Send us your questions by Friday morning to have them featured on our upcoming TSHE 101 AMA! 

We’ve made it to 100 episodes of TSHE, which is an accomplishment, I guess? In honor of our milestone, we’re taking a trip to the Hundred Acre Wood to find out which Winnie the Pooh characters we are, courtesy of another highly accurate Buzzfeed quiz. Then, we hop over to the TSHE Billboard Top 100 and check out what was in the charts when we were born. Did anyone say disco?? Also on tap: Meredith has a new new job and some old new relatives. Hillary’s powers of investigation failed her. Ann is a blow-medium. Bobby is NOT wearing jorts, we promise. Oh, and you should know that we like a creamy salsa.Take the quiz to find out which Winnie the Pooh character you areTSHE Recommends: Trader Joe's Jalapeño SauceConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

As the wise Samantha Jones says on a Season 3 episode of Sex and The City, “I’m a trisexual.  I’ll try anything once.”  But sometimes once is enough. In this episode we’re talking about all those things we’ve tried that didn’t quite stick.  From Pirates of the Caribbean to mushrooms to heaters (????), your hosts run the gamut as far as giving up. In fact, Christy might still be adding to her list as we speak!In an extremely packed small talk (smallish talk?), Ann discusses her preference for the mobile mammogram clinic, Meredith shares the ups and downs and potential catfishing of her life, and Christy describes a very stupid criminal AND answers the many, many questions about Olive Garden (we probably have more).Speaking of questions, please submit any and all TSHE 101 questions for our 101st show!

This week, it’s a full-fledged battle of the brands as Busy Busy Bobby, Cool Wine Aunt Hillary and Relentlessly Optimistic Ann objectively and unequivocally declare the Top 5* Mid-Range Chain Restaurants in America. Which joint’s flair is beyond compare? Whose saturated fat leads the pack? Does a little international flavor give us something to savor? The criteria is loose, the consideration is intense, and the results are final.Plus, Ann went back to the office (briefly), Hillary’s kids are going back to school (eventually), Bobby is slowly automating his new apartment with remote power switches (awesomely), and we take a moment to remember our favorite OG butt-faxer (lovingly).*Actually it’s the Top 6, because it’s our show and we do what we want.TSHE Recommends Gene and RogerOutlet Remote ControlsThis Old Chestnut (Not now Dottie, you vulgar lush!) Connect with the show!

Here at TSHE we’re always willing to engage in self-examination (navel-gazing?) in order to know ourselves better, and we’ve concluded that we might not be perfect. Accordingly, Meredith, Hillary, and Ann have come together to share the worst of our bad habits (such as they are). Hillary’s a gross person. Meredith’s on the cusp of inventing a new art form. Ann unaccountably procrastinates one single chore. Plus, we go deep on fridge talk, determine the presence or absence of cannibals in Texas Hill Country, and list “all the Davids in the world.” TSHE Recommends: Brat: An '80s StoryFallingConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s getting steamy in the TSHE studios, and we don’t just mean the weather. In an episode with even more utter nonsense than usual, Hillary, Christy, and Ann are talking about the onscreen characters who leave us a little hot and bothered. From a distant father to a righteous truth teller, a Young Republican to the quintessential Gen-X idols, our tastes are both wide AND shallow. Along the way we ask the following questions: is he hot, or just tall? How do you know if someone’s a bad boy? Do we need a Boom of Sales? Also, Hillary got wet ‘n’ wild, Ann makes a rebuttal to a rebuttal, and Christy has some slightly problematic fantasies about her ideal parents.Ed.
