Says Who?

Maureen leads off with a story about why going out is to be avoided. Dan has burned off his beard. Once these topics are exhausted, there is some talk of the news. This feels like a real mistake, so Maureen ends up clinging to her day planners in an attempt to deal with everything.

Get your crafting supplies, SayWhovia. We’re journaling our way out of this timeline.

CONTENT NOTE: In this episode, we discuss the ongoing assault on LGBTQI+ lives in the USA. Of the former, we don’t go into details. It’s mostly us yelling about it. Oh, also earlier there's some dog blood and poop stuff

This week’s thing is a little spicier than normal. It’s just a bit of a possible war situation, is all.

But never fear! There are places you can go to find answers and relief, places like the newly-launched Truth Social—the new Trump social media platform that’s all the rage! Most of that rage is due to the fact that it doesn’t work, but still, what could go wrong? Also, if you can’t sleep, apparently the My Pillow guy is throwing pillows out of airplanes.

Okay. Maybe those aren’t good things for coping. So Dan and Maureen return to Says Who U. It’s all about crafting! Making! And Maureen’s flowers! And this jar she has on her desk! She will show you all the things, even though this is a podcast and you can’t see them!

Get your felt and glitter, SaysWhovia. We’re making puppets.

Well, Dan and Maureen’s terrible game of “which one of us will have COVID in the house first” is over and Dan has won. 

Also, it is Maureen's birthday, something she neglected to mention when she sent the episode summary in.

So this week they’ve decided to skip most of the news, because their brains are gravy and there are better things to talk about—like taco walks, and going to the park, and that one time Maureen accidentally starred in a TV show. We’ll talk about the Before, The Now, and the Just Around the Corner. Things get upbeat!

It turns out that the trick is avoiding the news and really leaning into the tacos.

Get on this jet ski, SaysWhovia. We’re leaving.

This is a downright old fashioned episode! It’s got Trump! It’s got Mike Pence! It’s got Rudy! It’s got Disney! It has balls! It has food! It’s got people in trucks doing weird things! It’s got shades of insurrection! Maureen tells pointless stories and Dan brings it all home with some weird Chicago shit.

And most importantly, it’s got MUSIC! So much music! So come on in and sing along!

Maureen is in a grouchy mood, what with the two years of pandemic and whatever. This doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a wonderful story to tell—a story of cake and parties and English people being extra English.

But Dan is the one who really has brought the goods. He has so many wonderful tales to tell! Tales of Trump and fax machines and Rudy knowing something! Tales of courts and trouble and that one time the rioters tried to hunt and kill Mike Pence for sport. This week is downright old fashioned! It’s like it’s 2018 all over again! Or 2019! Or maybe 1819! Or 1619! Whenever they used to hunt people in the street. It’s retro!

Somehow there’s a lot of talk of washi tape.

Forget it, Dan. It’s Grouchtown.

Goodness gracious! Is it Wednesday again? 

Maureen does not know. She is adrift in space and time and has devoted herself to yacht rock. Dan is keeping track, but he isn’t happy about it. 

Maureen wants to tell Dan about Boris Johnson and his many parties. UK politics has never been so… UK. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani is in trouble! So much trouble! So many kinds of trouble! The kind of trouble you can only get into if you have 18 phones, you’re constantly drunk, and you’re Rudy Giuliani. Not that any of it matters.

As usual, things devolve until Dan and Maureen try to figure out which one of them is the most cheerful.

Put on this captain’s hat, SaywWhovia! We’re going for a ride. Toot toot!

Dan and Maureen are sleepy. They would like to take a nap. They have built two blanket forts in the SaysWhovia Town Hall and were trying to catch a few zzzz, but then they remembered that they needed to be awake. Obviously, this was tough to hear.

The news this week is…not all bad? There is some hope on the COVID front? And there is some news that is just very English. Maureen is here to talk about Partygate again—the scandal that has cheese. And there’s also bad news! But mostly, Dan and Maureen want to talk about games and napping. And Dan also wants to take a few pops at New York City, because he’s jealous that he doesn’t live there. So jelly. He lives in stupid Chicago with it’s stupid pizza that isn’t even pizza—it’s like a bread bowl gone wrong. Dan knows this and the fact is eating him up from the inside.

Grab your blanket, SaysWhovia. Let Dan and Maureen lull you to sleep. We just need a nice nap for a few months.

Dan needs a moment. Things seem to be going in circles. It’s all COVID and January 6th. Is this just 2021 in a disguise? Dan has lots of statistics. He does not like them one bit. 

But Maureen has tales to tell! She had an adventure with a Christmas Tree, and New York has a new mayor! Everything is new and fresh and different, and if it isn’t, Dan and Maureen and determined to make it so. 

It’s slogan time. 

It’s cult time.

And also we find out that young Dan was raised by soap operas and had a terrible encounter with a Summer’s Eve commercial.

Splish splash, SaysWhovia! We’re all on the water slide together! LET'S RIDE!
