Surprise! It was Maureen’s mom’s birthday. She is in PA. There was a party. Actually, there was more than one party. Maureen is still there, so things are going great. She wishes she was in NYC to watch NYC try to get its first non-clown mayor. You already know what happened, SaysWhovia. Dan and Maureen are in the dark.

Meanwhile, Dan has split his time between helping people in Chicago, which is still under occupation, and doing his job. It’s a lot! Good thing the government is working and no one has to worry about ACA premiums or…

Ah. Wait. Nevermind.

Still, it’s not all bad. And it’s such a beautiful fall day! Like Dan and Maureen learned at exactly this time last year—nothing can go wrong now!

Dan and Maureen are back after an unexpected absence (last week’s episode had to go to the Secret Place). A lot has happened! Maureen is trying to make a fake restaurant. Dan drove around with a ghost. No one is sleeping! Meanwhile, the Battle of Chicago is real and raging on. Dan reports in. NYC gets ready for the big election. Also, Trump got mad and tore down the East Wing of the White House in a move no one knew you could do.

But Dan and Maureen want to talk about tacos, planners, acupuncture, and the power of healthy habits—healthy habits being tacos, planners, and acupuncture.

Put on your hard hat, SaysWhovia. The wrecking ball swings low.

In 2016, two babies sat down to make an eight episode podcast. Now, on episode 400, they reflect on all the things they didn’t know going into this idea—namely, anything. They didn’t know anything. How would they have dealt with street kidnappings, COVID, an increasingly unhinged Trump marauding the land? Probably not well!

Also, Dan is now writing a book, and Maureen has seen some new planners.

Come with us, SaysWhovia, as we reflect. And talk about office supplies.

Dan hates Illinois Nazis.

But there here, so we're gonna have to deal with them.

It's been a week, Sayswhovia.

A.

Week.

SaysWhovia, some weeks come with too much filling. The news oozes out and gets all over your clothes. This was such a week. And like two people unwittingly and unwillingly taking place in a restaurant challenge, Dan and Maureen have to eat the whole thing. Where to start? The end of non-censored comedy and commentary? Openly listing crimes on social media? Handfuls of cash? A creepy love story? Complaining about escalators at the UN while telling all the other countries they suck? Claiming babies are being jacked with buckets of random substances? Trump trying to say the word “acetaminophen”?

How do you eat something like that? One disgusting bite at a time.

Get the Tums ready, SaysWhovia. We’re going home with that commemorative plate.

OK yes that thing happened, you know the one. But did you hear about the scuba diver thief at Disney World????

Maureen has a book out, awful news happened, and $10k is missing from a paddleboat in Disney Springs.

This certainly sounds like an episode of Says Who, doesn't it.

Nine years ago Maureen and Dan sat down to record an eight episode podcast. Mistakes were made.

Here they are, 395 episodes later, while Maureen is in the midst of finishing yet another book, to talk about... whatever fresh hell we all find ourselves in.
