Monica, a longtime cardiac care nurse, reminds us that eighty percent of heart disease in America is caused by lifestyle factors you can change: high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease.

Madam Secretary Recap: Break in Diplomacy Mar 16, 2017

Show notes

Break in Diplomacy Let’s play, Who’s the inspiration? Hmm, let see, who were the writers at Madam Secretary thinging about when they wrote this episode? Thais was a serious episode featuring serious themes and a world leader known for being a rough around the edges narcissitic businessman who ran an usual campaign and has a history of lewd behavior and corrupt business dealings with an unusually close ties to a country that was a former foe. If you guessed the Phillipines, you guessed right! Actually, that is the reputation of the ACTUAL president of the philipines Storylines: Sock it to me, Bess or Let Them Eat Drones The Singapore Exchange – a meaningful territorial accord with Asia Pacific. She ends up getting in a fist fight with a a dirty and dirty Philipine leader, forcing her to decide – like evry woman ever—should she say something? But she can only make this decision after digging into what appears to be the biggest bowl of cereal ever poured. Usually Julie is here to explain the political gamesmanship of the South China Sea. What you got Liz? Jay Undercover Bess gets her CIA on and enlists Sadsack Jay to investigate the suspicious death of Kevin from Accountant, a deep cover CIA agent. Turns out Jay is pretty goos at spycraft and undercovers Kevins real mission Duck Dynastys Goes to the Devil We are rejecting this storyline on the grounds that henry seems way in over hi head. But I don’t trust Ian and his neck tattoos. Not one bit. Binders Full of Blouses The star of the show—the Carolina Herrera dress Bess wore for seemingly 36 hours without a wrinkle. Theory White Trench The Orange Pussy Blouse—again, a political statement???? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Men in the Doghouse, Entertaining Sheila Mar 12, 2017

Show notes

On this New to You show from March 14, 2008, we tackle the gubernatorial sex scandal in NY: Eliot Spitzer, former crusading prosecutor and Governor of NY, is client #9 in a prostitution ring. Dr. Sheila weighs in on his psychological state: "pathological narcissism". Her diagnosis of this out-of-control politician is sounding so familiar now! Julie puts a number of men "in the doghouse” for insisting that prostitution is a victimless crime including Alan Dershowitz, James Carville, Bill Maher. The First Ladies Desk has a lot to say about Mrs. Spitzer. That poor woman stood by her man at his press conference and then Dr. Laura Schlessinger of radio fame was all over TV blaming her for not "doing enough to keep her man at home." Shut it, sister. Julie has an International News Round-Up about China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Entertaining Sheila reviews Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day. Lian explains to her mother-in-law how to listen to a podcast. Ten years later, we still want to help you figure this out! Have you participated in #trypod this month of March 2017? The podcasting community would like you to share the names of the podcasts you love on Twitter with the hashtag #trypod.

Show notes

Satellite Sisters Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan discuss the latest episode of Madam Secretary: Love, heartbreak, Peace & Poison! What an episode! It's called Labor of Love and it had it all.

The Romeo and Juliet of Colombia show up in America to sign a peace treaty and a trade deal. Unforatunetly, they don’t really love each other.

Meanwhile, the future of Acai and Quinoa are in the balance? What are we going to eat in California if this deal doesn’t go through… Jay’s storyline. Have you heard the one about the three wonks that goes running in puffer jackets? Finds out his wife is actually having an emotional affair with his best friend—thanks to Blake’s Dateline techniques Daisy’s Storyline: I think we can all agree that Daisy should stop dating guys from work. First—no kissing in the office in the meantime: Duck Dynasty goes to the Devil—ugh. I had sort of forgotten about Henrys latest undercover mission—infiltrating an extreme Christian group with a former military guy. I will never look at neck tattoos the same I think Henry should never do this job again. I gotta say, he’s not very good at it! And then at the end—everything GOES NUTS!!!! Drowning! Poison! CIA?
