Mega Millions, Supreme Court News, Happenings in Barcelona Apr 30, 2017

Show notes

The is a New To You show from April 1 2012. On today's show, Lian, Sheila, Liz and Julie dream of Mega Millions, discuss Supreme Court news and Liz gets caught in some light rioting in Barcelona. Plus a Listener Mailbag with questions and observations pulled from our Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. In the news, Lian loves a lottery! So much bonding over the Mega Millions. Julie finds the Supreme Court arguments about the health care law surprisingly lowbrow. Broccoli? Cell Phones? We thought this was about the law! Plus she has a theory about how the decision will come out. Sheila tells us a little more about her daily patterns around Pasadena. There's a new stop in addition to her usual Vons, BofA and Zushi Sushi. And Liz missed all the lottery and Supreme Court excitement this week, but did experience to total happening in Barcelona. She's not one to let a little light rioting spoil a good time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Madam Secretary Recap: Convergence Season 3, Episode 17 Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan of the Satellite Sisters recap the most recent episode of the CBS drama Madam Secretary. This episode was called convergence and yes, we had the doomsday storyline and the CIA mole storlyline coming togthere. But really, I think for most of us, it was the convergence of Cupcake Wars and Tim Daly’s broken legs. Storylines: The search for the CIA mole and the missing stinger missiles and a guy that was clearly inspired by Ken Bone. In the middle of this storyline, we get a mob lawyer who barges into Bess’s house somehow and she watches a lot of Cupcake Wars. Duck Dynasty Doomsday—Ian the agent we don’t really care about is being drugged. But WhatEvs. Then Henry gets shot at and we finally get the answer to how with the writers include Tim Daly's actual broken legs into the show. The extinction of the Black Rhino in Nambia—Bess puts out a challenge for all DOS empolyess: come out with an out of the box solution. An analyst on the global health desk rises to the challenges and it involves Viagra. Erection jokes follow. Father- son storyline about building henry’s childhood toy and Jason joining in, but only as he wants. By watching YouTibe videos and reporting back. A few observations: I don’t trust Captain Baker. Something about her. Loved the scene where Bess promoted the young woman who came up with the Viagra solution. Nadine and Mike B—let’s see more of that. Binders full of blouses: We had a lot of repeats this week which is how real women dress, so that’s cool. Julie loved the fresh eyewear. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
