Says Who? episodes

  • MARGINALLY EMPLOYED

    This week, Maureen gets to the bottom of her notebook crisis. Dan has an emotional breakthrough at a barbecue. And Ron DeSantis enters the ring in the most SaysWhovian way possible.

    Grab another Spicy Sizzler Sando, SaysWhovia! Because we’re not going anywhere!

  • CRYSTAL CHINOS

    Welcome to this week’s Says Who, where… oh, Maureen’s already off the rails. She needs to tell you all about her gynecologist’s TV career and all of his bees. 

    Dan tries to steer the car back on to the road to Florida, where Ron DeSantis continues tilting at windmills and Marco Rubio gets mad at a distant baseball game. But Maureen lunges for the wheel again. 

    Since this week is about weird hobbies and grifters, why not bring it all home to the Says Who commune. Maureen has a plan to fund it. Dan likes it.

    Put on these CBD pajamas, SayWhovia. It’s time to make some money.

  • SOMEBODY GET GARY

    Well, SaysWhovia, we begin this week with tales of Rudy Giuliani—terrible tales that Dan and Maureen go over in not great detail, because the details are not great. (For those worried about the more upsetting content, we skip this completely. We’ve got your back on this.) There are tales of pardons for sale and bags of phones. Which somehow leads Dan to a long discussion of the Most Dan Side Quest Ever, and the adventures of an imaginary Ron and fake Paul Stanley from KISS, a sinkhole, a suitcase full of money, and Gary. We’ve found it everyone. We’ve reached peak Dan! We did it!

    This has to be heard to be believed. Maureen is still resting in a quiet room with a cool cloth on her temples, trying to take it all in.

    We are the SaysWhovians, you know? And we’re back in town.

  • TOO MUCH NEWS

    In a SaysWho first, Dan and Maureen break into their own podcast with... another podcast. 

    Literally the moment after they finished recording today's episode which was about the E Jean Carroll lawsuit against Donald Trump, the verdict came in. So, back to the microphones! Then, during that, George Santos is charged with…something? 

    So, it's one of those easy days. Also Maureen may have a new boyfriend.

    Hold on to your butts, SayWhovia. This one comes at you fast.

  • HARRY POTTER AND THE GO F**K YOURSELF STONE

    Once again, Maureen is in Pennsylvania, surrounded by eagles, beavers, turtles, and floating sheds. Dan is in Chicago, marveling at the new adult human he has produced. And that’s it!

    Well, until Dan goes pro and gets to the news. Trans rights and humanity are under attack, and Maureen…well, Maureen goes off.

    (Content note: trans friends, this one should be a-okay to listen to because instead of hearing bad stuff with no pushback you get to listen to Maureen throwing f-bombs at a once-beloved wizard lady for about ten minutes.)

    Get your waders on, SaysWhovia. We’re going in deep.

  • HAPPY FEET

    Maureen’s fresh off a plane from Los Angeles, full of tacos and weird vibes. Dan is in his workshop, full of ideas and news. So many things to talk about. There’s the Fox lawsuit settlement. There’s Tucker, and Dom, and Nate Silver, and the Pillow Guy.

    But there’s also a very excited shoe, A very excited shoe. We’re about to do 2020 all over again. Low and slow.

    Walk with us, SaysWhovia. We have a lot to discuss.

  • DAN NEEDS A NAP

    Does anyone have a pillow or blanket? Dan’s here, at least in body. He has just arrived back from LA and he has not slept. Maureen is worried.

    Against medical advice, Dan proceeds to the news. It’s the next chapter in the Disney saga. DeSantis is taking things personally. Things are getting weird. Do you know how hard it is to be weird in Florida?

    Meanwhile, Dan should really go to bed.

    Get cozy, SaysWhovia. It’s time to curl up and listen to a man fall apart in real time.

  • MOUSETRAP

    It’s finally time, SaysWhovia. Dan and Maureen are going on their long-planned trip to DisneyWorld! 

    Sort of! Dan has a story to tell everyone at any rate—a long and wonderful tale of a man named Ron who decided to make beef with a big mouse. This story has everything! Sort of Nazis! A frozen head! Magic water! The British royal family! And the fate of a man who thought he could take down Disney. He fucked around, and he found out.

    Get a drink and sit back. Dan is here to tell it all.

  • SEE YOU TOMORROW: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

    We entered a See You Tomorrow situation fully expecting to see you tomorrow, but then two weeks passed, Maureen floated in the water then had a near-death experience, while Dan just kept stacking more plates into his spinning-plate pile and then, Donald Trump went and got himself arrested and now, finally we SEE YOU TOMORROW, today.

  • Bonus: Honey, Remember That Yummy Stacked Food We Had At That Nice Restaurant?

    Sayswhovians! Everyone needs a break sometimes, and today Maureen's taking one. She's off somewhere warm and tropical and that's GREAT we LIKE that for Maureen. YAY Maureen.

    Anyway, instead of a regular episode, you get an oldie-but-goodie off our Town Watch bonus episodes that our patreon supporters get every week. This one's from October 23rd last year and is all about planners and jobs. And stacked food.

    See you next week, or sooner if Trump is actually indicted this week.

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.
