Little Red Bandwagon

Please enjoy this TSHE Instant Classic from October 2020 while we recover from an array of work and nonsense this week. Also: If you happen to be attending the TBTL 4000th Episode, let us know! Episode #55: Cracker Talk… Yes, Really:Is anybody feeling hungry? If you aren’t now, we guarantee you will be once you’ve listened to this show. Meredith, Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are slicing up some cheese, grabbing a jar of fig jam, and talking about crackers. From the platonic ideal of a Triscuit, to a “meat essence” salt bomb, to staples of our childhood, to what we serve when we’re being fancy, we’ve got thoughts about crackers. There’s a live taste test, disposable mini-plates, the Saltine Cracker Challenge, and some delicious little cannibal bites. Plus, Bobby introduces another new segment, both Meredith and Ann have shocking diet soda-related confessions, and we find out which movie Hillary’s ashamed she hasn’t seen.Connect with the show!

Technology is changing with head-spinning speed these days; it’s inevitable that Skynet will eventually take over society, so we’d better be ready when it happens. Accordingly, Christy, Hillary, and Ann, along with guest host and AI-realist Jeremy, are talking about the things we’d love to offload onto not-quite sentient beings when we get the chance. Some of our choices are expected (various chores), some less so (medical stand-ins), but we’re determined to make the robot revolution work for us. Plus, Christy has a whole bunch of life updates, Hillary is a 90s girl, and Ann says it’s Heinz or nothing.TSHE Recommends:Shiny Happy PeopleThe Book of Lost Names by Kristin HarmelHard Fork: The Surgeon General’s Social Media Warning + A.I.’s Existential RisksConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We love our medium talk, but sometimes we just want to discuss the small (and sometimes very small in Bobby's case) stuff in our lives. That’s right, it’s an Oops, All Small Talk/Small Talk Spectacular Edition of the show! Our topics and tangents include: meatballs, grape prices, produce stability, Hayden Christensen’s career trajectory, British genetics, kidney stones, Cleveland!, rose bushes, hand pies, legitimacy of 5th grade graduations, and (unsurprisingly) so so much more.

Bobby, Ann and Hillary have packed the folding tables, the camp chairs, the lawn blankets and, of course, their appetites for a special summer kickoff potluck! What are we bringing to the buffet table? What do we avoid in the game of salmonella roulette? And who’s going to remember the ice?Plus: Bobby tries snacks so you don’t have to. Hillary’s dealing with a case of turgid ankles. And Ann’s saving the world so Hillary doesn’t have to. Smuckers, do better!TSHE RecommendsNever Have I Ever (again)Think Twice Connect with the show!

Listen, life can be long, and happiness isn’t a constant state of being, so you’ve gotta do what you can to spark joy. In that spirit, we’re talking about the little things that we relish on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s using water to “blast away the depression,” indulging in perhaps slightly obsessive kitchen organization, “Go Bills”-ing our way around the world, or savoring the 8:05, we’ve all got those small pleasures that remind us why we get out of bed in the morning (also so that we can change the sheets). Plus, Ann is literally on the move. Meredith had a terrible horrible no good very bad week. Bobby found the ultimate JOYROI, and all you need is some Chop Sabers, a tank of helium, and some put-upon Party City employees.TSHE Recommends:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the KingdomThe GreatYes, here are the lightsaber chopsticksConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Life is kicking your TSHE hosts in the (figurative) teeth this week, so we’ve opened the TSHE Vault ™ to bring you this classic episode from May, 2020 where our resident moms, Christy and Hillary, were joined by special guest moms Phyllis, Colleen, and Missy to cover a variety of motherhood-centric topics including COVID parenting, mom guilt, and the fascinating/horrifying world of mommy bloggers. It’s and interesting, hilarious, and insightful conversation about performative “momming” and the ways it affects our expectations of what it is to be a mom.TSHE Recommends: Please check out original episode TSHE #32 for links to all the mommy blogs mentioned in the episode!Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

This is the true story…of three strangers…picked to live in a few houses…work together…and have their lives taped…to find out what happens…when people stop being polite…and start getting real: TSHE. In the first of what will surely be a multi-part series, Hillary, Christy, and Jeremy talk reality shows - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the importance of paying writers a fair wage. In other news, Hillary talks about growing up and liking it, Jeremy dreams of driving across the middle of Australia, and Christy thinks she can dominate Big Brother.

We’re taking the Sienna to the windy streets of the Bay Area this week! That’s right, our TSHE Cinema Road Trip Spectacular (™) travels up the 101 and parks it in NorCal! Things are about to get hella weird. From the freewheeling lifestyle of Maude to the baseball statistics of Billy Bean,  we consider a variety of movies mostly centered on the Bay Area. Some important questions include: Is Ted Cruz’s dad the Zodiac Killer? Why is early 90’s technology so awesome? How old is Harold supposed to be? Why is Tom Skerritt the patron saint of TSHE?In small talk, Bobby deals with an emergency xylophone situation, Ann has a new chair (chair, chair, chair, chair!), and we discuss SAS mode.

The TSHE crew spent last week’s show dwelling on all the ways our imposter syndrome manifests, and so that you don’t think we’re all relentless self-criticism all the time, we’ve decided to take this week to share how much we freaking rock. Listen, it’s a shorter conversation, but still a good one. From event planning to leadership skills, social engineering to keeping all sorts of things alive and thriving, we’re an accomplished bunch. Plus, Christy’s cursed car takes another blow, Hillary shares a new commercial real estate kink, and how “tasting Ann’s baked goods” is not a euphemism. Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’re experienced scientists, we’re seasoned bakers, we’re veteran moms, but in certain circumstances, we feel like we have no idea what the hell we’re doing! Today your hosts are diving into their psyches to figure out why we still sometimes feel like imposters.  In small talk, Hillary and Meredith both navigate the complicated waters of the medical world.  Spoiler alert - we survived and Ann gave us gold stars!! Finally, we contemplate why in the world Chris Pratt is the voice of Mario. It makes no sense!TSHE RecommendsMichael ClaytonConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Most of us have to work to live, but that doesn’t mean we have to live to work. So what about when we’re done working? (Will we ever be done working?)This week, where do you get off? From the daily grind, that is. Not financial planning (more like social insecurity, amirite?), but rather, where we see ourselves when the time for retirement comes. (If it comes.) Everything from hobbit houses and Stardew Valley to sailing the open seas—or at least, cruising the open European rivers. All that plus: Meredith went to a Nerd Palace, Ann’s out on Chris Pratt, and Hillary and Bobby met up in NYC where, spoiler alert, everything is expensive. But at least they got to experience the M&M Store through the eyes of an 11-year-old Slay Queen. Anyone want to join us for some shuffleboard?TSHE RecommendsHHC - It Happened One SummerRoll For Sandwich“Getting a little stoned and watching Magic Mike 2” Connect with the show!

While it’s true that this show has everything, we’re especially fond of talking about food. The problem that plagues us, however, is less about eating, and more about the extensive, never-ending process of planning said food. In that vein, Bobby, Ann, and Meredith are talking about food planning and prep. Are we a snack house or an ingredient house? Do we prefer big batch or single meal cooking? Do we troll websites for new recipes, or stick with the tried and true dishes? Plus, Bobby made a new friend, Meredith sank her (allergy) battleship, and we hereby convene the first meeting of the Ron Magill Fanclub – TSHE chapter. Oh, and sorry for the astonishing amount of talk about bodily excretions. It’s unfortunate.TSHE Recommends: OXO Good Grips Little Salad Dressing Shaker - GreenConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Today your lady hosts are acting like they just got a new issue of Cosmo and are taking some quizzes! We found the most scientifically accurate tests to measure our competitiveness, our sibling rivalry-ness, our dirty minds, and, obviously, what celebrity men we’d like to take on a desert island!  Very revealing stuff!In other news and tangents, Hillary is struggling with her age (again), Ann is grappling with house paranoia (again), Christy is dealing with Girl Scout treasurer duties (again), and we’re all very curious/confused about the realities of a bidet.TSHE RecommendsTruly, Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and the Romance of the CenturyWu-Tang:American SagaConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s a TSHE Up All Night™ Special as Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Hillary dive into some pillow (and other bedding) talk. What helps us sleep? What keeps us up? Who needs a throne of throws, and who’s body-pillow curious? Plus: Oscars reactions, basement moisture, the Kama Szoozetra, news that Great Wolf Lodge isn’t the great wolf of lodging, and why Ann’s ass should stop hurting in six to eight weeks. TSHE RecommendsJam TomorrowConnect with the show!

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 Dropkick Murphys (unrelated to the toilet).TSHE Recommends: Downfall: The Case Against BoeingConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

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 Facebook where we’ll be reacting in real time! We’re doing it live!(Sorry for Hillary’s sneeze attack.

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. TSHE RecommendsThe Secret History of the Estonia Connect with the show!

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 his mustache to grow in. Also, Hillary gets asked to the dance and solidifies that she IS not a regular mom.

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 Ann & Hillary are dental-synced.Here's the dumb article we referencedTSHE Recommends: Lessons in ChemistryCunk on EarthPoker FaceThe TraitorsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

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 new -gate, he said while gazing into the listener’s Dresden Blue eyes. TSHE RecommendsThe Last of Us Connect with the show!
