Welcome back welcome back welcome back to the TSHE Iconic tv theme song bracket! We’ve culled, we’ve organized, and we’re ready to reveal the lineups and winnow it down to the final few. Battles were fought, but like the dessert ranking previously, we realized we’re pretty basic! But it wouldn’t be TSHE without some tangents - funky composers, Patrick Swayze, Patton Oswalt included.

In other news, Hillary saw the Minions movie and didn’t completely hate it (thanks, wine) and cried hard at Toy Story 5 (again, thanks wine/nostalgia). Bobby is closing the Mayfair Lane chapter of his life (goodbye, HOA), but continuing his long-standing relationship with TBTL (hello, frog jumping).

TSHE Recommends: 

Toy Story 5 (needs the Hillary bump)

Gary Portnoy (not Dave’s brother)

We’re developing the TSHE tv theme songs bracket, and things are starting to take shape. Categories have been established (‘Just Words’ will never not make us laugh), songs have been assigned, and we’re ready for the arguing to begin. The X-Files vs Twin Peaks? Growing Pains vs The Facts of Life? Duck Tales vs Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers? Who knows how things will shake out, so stay tuned to see what wins and what will forever remain just an earworm. Plus, we get a full debrief on Hillary’s trip to Merry Olde England.

In an age when the media landscape is as fractured as ever and quality across the board is waning, your TSHE hosts answer the call for the kind of critical analysis and historical context that is much needed today with a thoughtful, scientific and thoroughly researched discussion on media criticism though the lens of television theme songs. And by that we mean, a nostalgia-soaked TV-based version of remembering some guys. Did we figure out the Top 10 intro songs of all time? Not even remotely. Will we turn this into weeks and weeks of content you can’t resist the way middle-aged men like to sit around naming old baseball players? We can hope!

There were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no utensils at Medieval Times. Would you like a refill on that Pepsi? Like Bill and Ted before us, your TSHE hosts are ready to explore what our lives would have been like in Medieval times - the era of history, not the restaurant (though, that comes up a lot). We would probably be very stinky/die of one fever but maybe our lives would have purpose? Also, for reference - https://www.naomiclifford.com/dictionary-of-the-vulgar-tongue-women/ 

In small talk, Hillary talks about livin’ on the edge in rural Texas. We also discuss the disappearance of the mid-Atlantic accent in conjunction with Hillary trying to extricate herself from the grips of Ken Burns.

We like to think that we give things a fair shake around here, but sometimes you just can’t get there. This week, we’re talking about things that are Not For Me, which includes entries in the food, music, attraction, sports, and pop culture spheres. Also, Ann’s on a (probably unsuccessful) quest for more protein, Bobby gave Fella his own suite, and Meredith loves a good curd.

Listen back with us this week as we return to a conversation from July 2021 about why we love America. (It was complicated then. It's not less complicated now.) Here's the original episode description:

In honor of America’s birthday, we celebrate the reasons we love—at least a little bit—our home and native land. Plus: Your favorite vintage nostalgic tech, Cool Aunt Hillary chauffeured some youths, Bobby the Body got burned at the beach, cultural explorer Meredith ventured to Hamtramck, and Ann wants you to know she is also super exciting. (She’s also a fan of a ridged chip.)

We come up with a lot of random topics while recording and while they might not be suitable for a whole show, you know your hosts can talk at length about almost any subject (are we guest producer, Doug Schrecengost?). With that being said, it's time to spin the wheel of topics (alternate question of the week - what’s your favorite kind of wheel?)! From our philosophy of lateness (not great!) to things people should have more shame about (public speakerphone users, we’re looking at you) to robot sex (hahahahha kinda), we cover a wide range!

In small talk, Hillary rants about society as it pertains to childcare and also the Vietnam War (thanks for everything, Ken Burns). Meredith is having some neighborhood drama. Hoarders and recycling bin fears abound!

Over at TSHE we’re not getting any younger, and that’s why it’s more important than ever that we focus on our fitness, even though it’s all been downhill (or should we say, uphill?) since Mile Run day in elementary school. This is also probably a good time to remind everyone that this is, essentially, the opposite of an advice podcast. Plus, scary moments, a cute moment, continued cinema studies, and an adventure out of the house that’s notable because it doesn’t happen often.

The TSHE Book Club is back, and your entire roster of hosts are in the (metaphorical) studio to dig into a story that’s both sensationalist and nuanced. We’re talking about Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, and man, do we have a lot to say! Our discussion includes gender roles, internalized misogyny, and the crushing pressure of fantasy life, as well as strong feelings about a protagonist who is both understandable and repellant. Plus, a Canadian treat haul, a Shrek review, and Ann Has Ideas.

Batter up! Hear that call! The time has come! For one and all! To plaaaayyy ball! RECORD SCRATCH! While we had every intention of discussing our history with youth sports, your hosts were feeling their age and quickly pivoted to ruminating about how our bodies are failing us. Don’t worry, we have fun while we’re slowly decaying!

In small talk (before we delved into aging), Hillary is still watching 90s movies and Ann has a mildly embarrassing dilemma. BUT the most exciting topic - TSHE is finally having The Great Minnesota Get-Together (™)! We’re going to the Minnesota State Fair! A bucket of cookies for everyone!
