Says Who?

Maureen Johnson and Dan Sinker

Are you looking for some friendly company to help you through the hell that we find ourselves in after the 2016 election? Dan Sinker and Maureen Johnson—one journalist and one author—try to figure out what the hell is going on. Maybe, together, they can figure it out (spoiler alert: probably not)! Why not grab your coffee (or something stronger) and pull up a chair?

    DON'T GO IN THE BASEMENT

    This week, it’s time to talk emcampments and trials. 

    But first, we need to help Dan get through some avoidance issues. We need to help him get to the basement of his mind palace. 

    Come. 

    Take our hand, SaysWhovia. Let’s go down the steps together.

    NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

    This week, we find out that Maureen’s been right about New York all along: It’s the place to be. 

    Everything happens there! Broadway! Great food! Amazing music! Cutting-edge dance and fashion! Large-scale arrests! Weird trials! Trash in bins! You name it, New York has it.

    It’s all NYC, all the time this week. Chicago can absolutely eat it.

    SNOOZEFLASH

    Oh hello, SaysWhovia. Maureen was just getting her mail. What’s this? A jury summons?

    LOL, that’s a joke, of course. She would never be so lucky. It’s the ticket of the season! Which lucky New Yorkers will get to hang out in a waiting room with hundreds of other hopefuls, all trying out for one of the big roles as a Trump juror. Everyone is excited! Except, perhaps, except Donal Trump, who keeps taking court naps. He does not want to be there. He is bored and itchy and needs a snack.

    Meanwhile, the Republicans have launched a clever attack on themselves, while Rudy Guiillani would like to borrow a dollar from you.

    2024 has arrived, SaysWhovia. Don’t look it in the eyes.

    WOODCHIPPER

    Oh hello, SaysWhovia. We were just examining this ancient book of spells and portents. Let’s see…an earthquake, an eclipse, lightning hitting the Empire State Building…oh. Just a typical week in New York City. Nothing weird going on at all. Oh wait. The Trump trial is about to start in Maureen’s hometown! That must be it. 2024 is finally turning on the gas and showing us what’s made of.

    Or IS it? Is it still making us wait? Why is Dan just listing the names of cities? Why is Maureen coughing? Are they trying to stall for time? Is it because they know what 2024 wants?

    A little bit. Maybe a little bit. But! Dan does know a lot of city names, and Maureen likes lots of stuff. Because after the lists and the quakes comes the woodchipper. And a trip to Disney.

    Get behind us, SaysWhovia. We’ll go first.

    THE LENTIL PRINCESS

    SaysWhovia, Maureen has had a rough week. But it's OK because she's TOTALLY FINE. Yes, that's what she is. She is also the lentil princess, so she has that going for her. 

    Meanwhile the world is going to complete and utter shi... 

    Happy days for she's the lentil princess!

    INCORPORATE THE INTERRUPTION

    Says Whovians! 2024 is starting to show its whole ass now as the former president Goes Through Some Things in the last 24 hours and somehow has emerged... better off? Great.

    Also, Dan is in Colorado and Maureen is at her folks and, well, she's coming in hot. And then, suddenly, she's reading from the elaborate guide for getting on the internet she made for her parents back in the 90s. As one does.

    Ride the weird wind.

    A CAREFULLY BALANCED DAN IN A CAREFULLY BALANCED VAN

    Sometimes, SayWhovia, it’s important to think about balance. Work and life balance. Physical balance. Bank balance. The balance of an overladen van teetering on the edge of a cliff. This is the balance episode, where all of these things will come up. Dan’s work and life balance is a little off again. Maureen is learning physical balance! Trump has a low bank balance. And off of us are living out the end sequence of the 1967 classic film, the Italian Job.

    This episode makes more sense than most, which is saying a lot considering it’s 2024.

    Nobody move, SayWhovia. This whole thing could go over.

    FOG OF JUDGEMENT

    It’s Super Tuesday, SaysWhovia! How are YOU celebrating? A party? A casual gathering? A quiet cry in the closet? All of these are valid! And who will win? No one knows! Except, everyone!

    Meanwhile, Maureen reveals the joys of living in New York City once again, Dan gets a new fencepost, and COVID is over! More importantly, plans for Disney on Election Day are being finalized. It’s really happening. Dan and Maureen are going to ride the Haunted Mansion as the results come in, and then Says Whovia will…go on forever. And ever. And ever.

    Get in the Doom Buggy, SaysWhovia! It’s all really happening!

    TICK TOCK DOLE WHIP O'CLOCK

    This week, Maureen spends a lot of time convincing Dan it’s time to get serious about making Disney plans for the election while Dan falls gently to pieces. 

    It’s that time. Get in line with us, SaysWhovia.

    Note: this episode contains a brief discussion of the death of Aaron Bushnell. There is no detailed discussion of physical events, but the significance is discussed for a short time.

    AN IDEA, A FEELING, AND A HAT

    Brrrr. Shut the door! There’s a cold winter wind blowing. All is snug and safe here in the Says Who fort. 

    Dan’s son is recovering from COVID and has had adventures in a hotel room. Mauren wants to get right to the news! 2024 is ramping up! Trump is making shiny shoes because he owes SO MUCH MONEY. So much money! Surely these shiny sneakers will fix everything. Seriously, though—he owes all the money. Does he have it? How will he get it? How many shiny shoes will be sell? And what’s with the perfume?

    Somehow this becomes Dan and Maureen’s Composition 101 workshop, which should probably be a thing.

    Pencils down, SayWhovia, and hand your papers to the front.

    HAUNTED WHITE HOUSE

    It’s 2024, SaysWhovia. Everything has changed. Dan has too many jobs. Maureen bought a planner. Trump is running against Biden and Biden is running against Trump.

    Wait…

    We’ve been on this ride, haven’t we? No matter. We’ll get in line again. And there are always new twists. For example, Dan’s new job is in the MORNING. Maureen’s new planner is DIFFERENT. Trump is threatening to KILL US ALL.

    It’s still the same, isn't it? 

    Come with us anyway, SayWhovia. We’ll hold your place in line.
