Says Who? episodes

  • SEE YOU TOMORROW-ISH

    This week’s episode is a little shorter, because Dan and Maureen have agreed to watch and record their reactions to Thursday’s debate.

    It’s all kicking off, SaysWhoavia. So give a listen to today's 30 minute SEE YOU TOMORROW, and come back Friday more ALSO MORE SEE YOU TOMORROW.

  • FROG AND CARROT SOUP

    Dan’s coming in hot today. He’s got a lot of jobs. Dad. Podcast producer. Guy who collects dog pee. Teacher. And number one pal to Maureen, whose clothes are inside out. Somehow, this ends up in a reasonably coherent conversation about how racism can be found in the darnedest places in American history! That stuff is everywhere! Maureen gives a short history on eugenics at state fairs. We learn about concerts Dan and Maureen have worked for various causes. And we talk about the saggy ball contest that is the upcoming debate.

    But seriously, SaysWhovia. Dan has got to GO.

  • DOUBLE GUN SOCKS

    Well, well, well. Dan and Maureen are running a tight ship today! Maureen knows where she’s going. Dan knows what’s going on. And once they get Maureen’s unused planner into the act, nothing can go wrong!

    Dan guides Maureen on a deep dive into Rudy Giuliani's head, much like that billionaire sub guy took that cursed group of fellow billionaires into the depths to look a doomed wreck. Maureen learns way too much about the Hunter Biden trial and the contents of one man’s sock drawer. And finally, flags. It’s all about the flags.

    Plus, find out why Maureen’s pilates teacher is going to hang out with a tiger!

  • THE MUSICAL EPISODE

    This week, Maureen tells a barely disguised tale of recent events, and then talks about her blood test results in a lot of detail. The conclusion? Oats. Meanwhile, Dan has been avoiding reality, but reality has been taking him on a map and finally caught up. This leads nicely to the Trump conviction afterparty and the strangely torrid tale of Hunter Binder’s trial.

    But this is actually the musical episode. It cannot be explained any other way.

    Five minutes, SaysWhovia! Places!

  • BUG THE PANTS

    Oh dear. Maureen is having a moment. She had a challenging week and is coming to pieces. Luckily, Dan is here! With news! Dan always brings news. It never helps. This has been going on for eight years and is unlikely to change.

    The UK has done the most UK thing ever by announcing an election no one is excited about. The Prime Minster stood in the pouring rain with no umbrella to give the news. Why didn’t he go inside? Because 2024. Stand in the rain. Meanwhile, Rudy makes it rain in a different way. It’s gross! Dan and Maureen discuss the best ways of surveilling America’s Mayor.

    Also, Justice Alito loves insurrection. Are you surprised? And Trump trial one grinds to a close. Grind, grind, grind. 2024: year of the grind.

    Let’s sit down with a cool cloth on our forehead, SaysWhovia. It’s all a bit of a lot.

  • RUDY'S PARTY

    Rudy got served at his birthday party and Dan and Maureen are excited about it. That’s nice, because Maureen is having a bad week. But then Dan tells her all about his favorite insect: the cicada. It’s a hot cicada summer. Meanwhile, Trump’s first trial begins to wrap up. And there are going to be debates? Next month? In THIS economy?

    Summer is in the wings, clearing her throat and getting ready to take the stage. It’s going to be hot, buggy, and stupid.

    But probably no one will serve a warrant at our birthday party.

  • SCORPION

    Maureen is still in France! Surprise! She could not leave when there was still cheese to eat. Plus, she made a little friend.

    Back in her home city, much is happening. Dan needs to tell her all about it. Stormy Daniels was on the stand, talking about shampoo. Michael Cohen apologies. Plus, a book with a terrible dog story and a Richard Scary worm lives in RFK’s brain. 2024! It’s deranged!

    Grab your baguette, SaysWhovia, while we tell you a story.

  • DON'T GO IN THE BASEMENT

    This week, it’s time to talk emcampments and trials. 

    But first, we need to help Dan get through some avoidance issues. We need to help him get to the basement of his mind palace. 

    Come. 

    Take our hand, SaysWhovia. Let’s go down the steps together.

  • NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

    This week, we find out that Maureen’s been right about New York all along: It’s the place to be. 

    Everything happens there! Broadway! Great food! Amazing music! Cutting-edge dance and fashion! Large-scale arrests! Weird trials! Trash in bins! You name it, New York has it.

    It’s all NYC, all the time this week. Chicago can absolutely eat it.

About Says Who?

From the publisher's feed

In 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way. Mostly, the weird part, though.
