  • SOMEONE GET CLINT

    Greetings from the road, SaysWhovia! 

    Well, Maureen isn’t exactly on the road. She’s in Philadelphia, though occasionally sounds like she's underwater (we don't know why and apologize). But Dan very much is, and the road is not being nice to Dan. Dan is having a time of it, and it doesn’t help that the Trump Fuck Around And Find Out calendar is again targeting him personally.

    Yes, we’re ending a hot and weird summer and likely going into a hot and even weirder fall. So many trials. So many defendants. So much work for a guy who signed up to write some thing called indictment for f….y….i.

    Also, Rudy keeps calling people and begging for money. It’s real funny.

    Come sit by the side of the road with us, SaysWhovia. We’re going to be here for a while.

  • REACH FOR THE ORANGE

    Dan is off dropping the teen off at college and stopped crying long enough to record. And that's good because there has been NEWS and Maureen wants to talk about it while Dan just wants to pick oranges and weep.  

    Anyway, there's been an indictment! No, not the Georgia one, which happened about 5 hours after these two finished recording, but the other indictment which happened just after they finished recording *last* time.  

    Remember when this podcast used to come out only every two weeks? Yeah. Us too.

    Anyway, wheeeeeeeee.

  • EAT THE CANDLE, KID

    Cheerio! Maureen is in England, where everything is cool and rainy. There is cream and tea and cake and ice cream and teeth—all the classics. Meanwhile, Dan is somewhere in a heat swamp next to a sewage drain situation. So everything is as it should be! 

    Dan and Maureen catch up, talking about the summer, life, how everything is on fire, and how Mitch McConnell stopped working for a while. And about indictments. So many indictments. It’s a good thing neither of them run a site called indictment.fyi!

    Also, kids used to eat cigarettes. Did you know that?

    Grab a pint, SaysWhovia! We’re going to watch them pump out this sewer!

    PS. OF COURSE Trump was indicted 3 hours after this episode was recorded.

  • SUMMER MELTDOWN

    It's summertime and the living is... well, the living is not that easy. It's hot for one, and there's a lot going on. A lot. So much. Too much.

    Plus, it's summertime and that means summer travels for both Maureen and Dan.

    Turn a fan on, dunk yourself into some cold water, and listen in.

  • SLIP N SLIDE

    This week, Maureen is too hot and too wet. New York is not easy in the summer. Dan has ideas to help, but Maureen is not interested. She’s also not the only person who is too hot and too wet. It’s a Climate Change Summer! How do people keep doing normal stuff while the world changes around us? Not sure!

    Meanwhile, Dan is preparing to send his oldest child off to college and he is…not okay! Neither is Rudy Giuliani, for that matter. And possibly Donald Trump. Their problems continue to attack Dan personally.

    Also, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are having an online platform fight, and possibly a cage match. Maureen devolves into Friends plotlines and reveals her ultimate dream, which, as it turns out, is pretty achievable.

    Get the hose and the Slip n Slide, SaysWhovia! It’s time to cool off!

  • MAYHEM GRAVY

    This week, the Supreme Court did some stuff. It wasn’t great! But remember; this system is FLAWLESS! Also, Elon Musk did some stuff! But remember: rich people are always smart? Dan and Maureen probe these and other life lessons.

    This is basically the summer calm before the fall storm so enjoy it while you can!

  • DING!

    Today, Dan and Maureen talk about the Russian coup—or, no they don’t. No one knows what that was about! So they get down to the new Trump tapes. But mostly this is about Maureen’s speed dating strategy and Dan saying “Ding!”

    Ding!

  • SALMON HAT

    First, Maureen wants to talk about the terrible and entirely predictable story of the missing submarine. Maureen has been thinking a lot about things that go in the water as she has spent the weekend in the Thousand Islands. She suggests that SaysWhovia resettle there. It is peaceful and lush, with clear water and nice people who commute on jet skis and eat ice cream all day. Dan likes this idea, but has other things on his mind.  In a move that he takes as a personal attack, Trump’s initial Florida trial date has been set for August, exactly when he has to take his son to college. It probably won’t happen then, but who knows. Also, something something Hunter Biden. All of this leads to a larger discussion of what 2024 is *really* going to be like. Tl;dr: really weird! All the time.

    Then suddenly it’s all about whales who wear hats—and Maureen bursts into song.

    All aboard, SayWhovia! Time to dive!

  • TRON CLUB

    Maureen insisted that Dan get off the airplane and record because a few things have happened since he left for Disney World.

  • ROLLING THUNDER

    Greetings SaysWhovia! By the time you read this, Dan is already halfway up Big Thunder Mountain and Maureen is packing for beautiful checks notes Syracuse. Yes, it's summertime in SaysWhovia, and that means things are getting a little loose. 

    But not so loose that Maureen and Dan miss the BIG NEWS, that the MAN THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO KILL, Mike Pence, has decided to run for president. And what better way to convince a lot of people that literally erected a gallows in your honor to vote for you than by appearing in the least authentic way possible? 

    Vroom vroom, here he comes!

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.
