Says Who?

Greetings from the road, SaysWhovia! Dan is in the wilds of Colorado. Maureen is in Philadelphia. Both are super alarmed by the fact that no one seems to be wearing masks! They do not like it!

There’s been news this week—classic, SaysWho type news. Rudy Guiilliani is having a bad time. He’s broke. He’s in trouble. He’s down to the cheap booze and his pants keep falling off. Trump is no longer taking his calls. So this is the right time to give an interview and let it all hang out.

Meanwhile, COVID can’t stop, won’t stop—because people won’t take simple measures.

Then Maureen gets distracted by her own Tumblr feed and things just devolve from there.

Mask up, vax up, let’s go! It’s Says Who Time!

CONTENT NOTE: at the 30 minute mark, there is a brief mention of the Cuomo sexual harassment and abuse allegations. We don’t go into any detail at all—we just mention that it’s happening, and it’s bad

Dan is out on the road, not in a hot car. Maureen is up in the cool mountains of Massachusetts. 

Did politics happen this week? Probably. Dan and Maureen do not want to know. 

For a blissful moment, they are Somewhere Else doing Something Else. Both have chosen good times to be somewhere else, because things are going great, and nothing is happening with COVID. Or everything is! No one knows. This is the time for hot, maskless gatherings in Nebraska parking lots and anti-tax teachers to head into schools. In short, nothing can go wrong now.

Then Maureen starts speaking German. Jetzt wir hatten eine gute Zeit!

SaysWhovia! Dan is on the road, which in this case is literal: he's recording from the back of his car again. But it's OK! He's under a tree, what could go wrong.  

Meanwhile, Maureen and Dan have been reading the new Trump tell-alls that have been coming out. Today, let Maureen and Dan tell you about them so you don't have to read them!

Maureen started "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost" by Michael C. Bender but ended up being deeply invested in the menu of a New Hampshire diner that serves some remarkable food.

Dan read "Landslide" by Michael Wolff and learned that his imitation of Rudy is lacking in flatulence.  

Curl up with a good book—even a bad one will be better than these—it's the new Says Who!

It's really summer now SaysWhovia, but Dan and Maureen are gearing up for... leaving? Is that still a thing? That is if covid variants and government bureaucracy let them go.

But before they leave town, how about discussing the various Trump legal clowns who have been playing clown games this week. Sure, of course there's Rudy because there's always Rudy, but there's enough clownage to go 'round this time.

Put on your giant shoes and your rubber nose, SaysWhovia, because it's clown time.

It’s the Says Who, One Day Late Edition! Maureen has had a wild couple of days, which threw the S.S. Says Who off course by 24 hours. Everyone in her house has been barfing, either literally or metaphorically.

But she isn’t the only one sailing rough seas. The Good Ship Rudy has been rolling to and for on the waves. Poor Rudy! He must be so seasick! Luckily, his son and first mate, Andrew, is here to defend him! By shouting! So much shouting!

Meanwhile, a small speedboat containing the Trump legal team has been spotted headed out to sea, dumping safes of documents all along the way! Not really! We were just trying to keep this boat thing up. But, you know, Trump legal problems! Because of the crimes!

Everyone is taking a hard pounding this week. Such a hard pounding.

Get your life preserver, SaysWhovia. This water is deep.

Really really sorry.

It’s pub day for Maureen! Her new book is out! She seems . . . tired. Maybe a little confused. But Dan is here to perk her up by telling her about other new books. This does not work as well as he plans.

Meanwhile, the ranging debate about which Trump child is least loved rages on. Then Maureen and Dan reminisce about their old jobs.

Dan I can’t even remember what we talked about.

July 6th, 1978. Four teenagers went into the woods one night. They did not return alive. What happened in Barlow Corners? Who put the counselors in the Box in the Woods?

It’s under a week now until Maureen’s book is out, and Dan wants her to talk about it. Maureen is not so sure. Dan helps her by telling her tales of his own book experiences. Dan has a story to tell.

Meanwhile, slash-desk is no more. RIP slash-desk, we barely knew ye. Where does a guy go when he doesn’t even have his slash-desk anymore? On the road! And apparently, to New Jersey! If a Trump goes to a New Jersey and no one cares, did he even go? Also, Don Jr. does Cameo now. So that’s a thing!

But seriously, Dan has a story to tell.
