Caught Up Episode62: We Are Thankful for Book Club Nov 13, 2018

Show notes

Eternal questions on the podcast this week: why do people hang Christmas decorations before Halloween? Do we really want fennel and apricots in our stuffing? And of course the great cranberry sauce debate: industrial jelly from the can or home-made? Plus – and this is a big deal – Maureen and Heather finally give us their rollicking review of “Book Club,” featuring four AARP-approved Hollywood goddesses…and Andy Garcia.

It’s cool!

Caught Up Episode60: Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice Oct 12, 2018

Show notes

Autumn means colorful leaves, cooler nights, flannel pajamas, apple picking and allergies. And long lines at all the bars and restaurants in Southie. But that doesn’t stop our heroines from bouncing around town on a week night.

Plus, Maureen and Heather seek celebrity-list status and an inspirational story about a baseball dream and a service animal.

Caught Up Episode58: Last Week Today! Sep 28, 2018

Bangs for the buck? Heather and Maureen talk hair, blackberry donuts, Nigerian princes, Bert & Ernie’s relationship, speeding in Southie, Red Sox banners and Emmy winning bosoms.

From humps to honeypots, this episode of Caught Up will sting you in all the right places…

Caught Up Episode57: August and Everything After... Aug 30, 2018

Show notes

A bevy of brilliant topics on Caught Up this week. Talking points include full moon yoga, service monkeys, and the temporal liberties taken by TV writers. Plus, is it safe to drink alcohol? A study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation says no, not really. What will Heather and Maureen do now? Eat more? Wear a compression suit? Listen and find out.

Caught Up Episode56: A Whole Bunch of Nonsense Aug 23, 2018

Show notes

Back from a brief summer hiatus, M & H reminisce about last year’s Oscar nominated films, “yacht rock,” and meeting other podcast stars. Plus, Grace graduates, restaurants rotate and millennials mourn the morbidity of mayonnaise.

Caught Up Episode55: To BDE or not to BDE Jul 26, 2018

Show notes

To describe this week’s episode, we turn to an article in Vox.com: the writers explaining ‘Big Dick Energy’ as “…the self-confidence to know that a colossal endowment isn’t a measurement of one’s value. BDE might stem from having a literal BD, but it’s not dependent upon any sort of genitalia. And in fact, perhaps the epitome of BDE is the complete security of not needing other people’s benchmarks — wealth, intelligence, beauty, or a BD — to know one’s own worth.” Confused? Maureen and Heather will fill in the gaps…

Caught Up Episode54: The Hatchet Gang Jul 19, 2018

Show notes

Sharp objects catch our host’s attention on this episode…like axes used by rampaging women to destroy bottles of alcohol in 1856. Shocked as they are by “dry towns,” Maureen and Heather give due respect to members of the Rockport, MA temperance league and their hatchet wielding vigilantes. Were they Bible thumping, bored old biddies or unemployed suffragettes with unbearably tight corsets and drunken husbands? Plus the fascinating lives of drag queens and modern day attitudes towards drugs.

Caught Up Episode53: Swing Time! Jul 12, 2018

Show notes

Aka the upside down pineapple episode. If you’re a married couple looking for some extra-curricular activity or just a balding man with a pony tail, this is the show for you! Spouse swapping? You bet. Pony play? Oh yeah. Plus unicorn floats, giant bird sculptures and pineapples. Did I mention pineapples? Send all your swinger stories to Maureen and Heather, care of Caught Up. (Please don’t send them to me; I just write the blurbs…)
