This week Shay and Elise dive into Rhode Island and its presence in the Olympics -- past and present. In this episode you'll learn which Rhody athletes made it to Tokyo 2020 (04:53), who barely missed it (08:10), and who's represented the Ocean State in the past (11:21).

Slight and not-so-slight digressions include your high school letterman's jacket (01:46), Wheaties cereal (19:45), and Shay *finally* making a reference that Elise, nor producer-who-asked-not-to-be-named Ezra don't understand (34:15).

From Trailblaze Media, welcome to Anchored the Podcast’s “That Week in Ridiculous Rhody Headlines” mini-sode where we dig up the past of our weird little Ocean State and show you that literally nothing has changed. 

In the first installment of TWIRRH, Shay and Elise cover a ye olde timey Prohibition-Era whiskey distillery bust in Pawtucket (00:20), a raccoon in East Greenwich that escaped the throes of FIRE (05:05), and a tragic drowning (also in Pawtucket) that was because of one young boy's love for his cat (08:06).

At Anchored we like to get down to the nitty-gritty of the daily issues affecting what happens in our state and today we're getting the inside scoop not on someTHING, but on someONE -- first date style. In this episode, Shay and Elise go on a first date, not with each other, but with Rhode Island State Senator and Planetary Geologist, Sam Bell! What we know about Sam is what we see, read, or hear in the news, so for this date, we want to get to know who he really is through typical and not-so-typical first date questions like "How did you end up in Rhode Island,"(6:25) "What's your favorite sandwich?," (8:32) and "What's the difference between a progressive Democrat and a Democrat that's a part of the Rhode Island Machine?" (32:32)

Slight and totally-not-slight digressions include whether or not Sam has a car (13:15), former Mayor Walter Reynolds and the lasting effect he's had on transportation in Providence (13:57), and U.S. Supreme Court Case Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward (35:25).

In this episode, Shay and Elise compare the Gaspee Affair to the Boston Tea Party and argue why the former deserves the red carpet treatment that the latter gets in our country's re-telling of the American Revolution.

Slight and totally-not-slight digressions include helicopter parenting in college, John Brown's breakup bangs, and the British throwing up a middle finger to the Protestants with one particular part of the Intolerable Acts.

In this episode, Shay and Elise pull a Billy Madison and go back to school as they “take” the 1879 Providence High School Entrance Exam which covers grammar, arithmetic, history, geography, and a mildly erotic spelling section. 

Slight and totally-not-slight digressions include Shay and Elise’s crushes (Simba, Nala, and Christian Bale as Dick Cheney), George W. Bush’s paintings that wouldn’t have gotten him into RISD, and why Elise could never be a lawyer.

In this episode, Shay and Elise discuss the cutest dang airport in the nation, the dramatic, yet fairly tame Bloodless Revolution, and the unfortunate demise of Bagel Gourmet at the hands of the Brown University landspreading.  

Slight and totally-not-slight digressions include barbeque sauce, Shay being Team Southwest and Elise being Team Delta and the theory that nobody actually comes from the state of Colorado.  

Notes: 

We messed up! In this episode, we said VAN stands for Voter Access Network when it’s, uh, not that. It’s Voter Activation Network.  

Shay promised to include a link to a brand of shoes (Romeos) that were worn in “style” where she’s from, so here’s that link (https://www.georgiaboot.com/romeo/georgia-giant-romeo-work-shoe/GR262.html)
