Donna Shannon's Coyote Tales

It’s no secret that we Gen Xers like our cartoons! Today we dive into some of the classics and review the new movie, “Coyote vs Acme.” And for good measure, we tell you a traditional Cheyenne Coyote story.

Do you enjoy eating out? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). If so, follow our pro tips to make the most of the all-you-can-eat buffet. And speaking of eating people, let’s talk cannibal movies you may have missed that are definitely worth a watch.

Not to mention, they will even try to sell you their weird stuff at the neighborhood garage sale. Plus: Donna is finally on TikTok. All it cost was our souls and our copyrights.

I can’t believe Ryan wanted to see “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in the theaters, especially since he doesn’t really get haute couture. Or fine art. Or any art that does not come from a comic book or video game. On another note, we explored the plausibility of adding Ozempic to my medications, but I REALLY don’t need to add “Ozempic Personality” to my many, many problems that I have to take medications for. The pink ones keep you from screaming!

Happy Lunar New Year! Hopefully, the Year of the Horse won’t suck for you - But it’s off to a rocky start for Donna so far. At our age, laundry is a contact sport. And I suck at sports. But speaking of sports, how about them Norwegians?

It happens to everyone - a lack of brilliance. Or you get your ass kicked. Or your boss calls you lame. Or you end up on the wrong website for, like, 20 hours. Sometimes it just sucks to suck!

Well, we don't conform to the most requested Christmas gifts. And did someone say "romantic necrophilia?"

We just had our 17th anniversary. Check out our top 10 tips for a long-lasting marriage: Go to a different floor in your house to poop. Ryan’s saying: “You’re right dear, and I love you.” If you are sick, sleep in another room. Respect each other’s schedules. Do things together but have outside interests. Have a secret language. Waiting to watch your shows. Don’t plot to kill each other. Explore each other’s kinks. Honesty – yes, that makes you look fat. Bonus tip: Laugh at your own stuff even if the partner doesn’t.

It's October, and that means it's time to terrify children. Looking for some good movies? Or bad ones? Check out Donna and Ryan's list for gems and duds.

However, she could not get out of jury duty (sort-of.) DISCLAIMER: We are not financial experts, nor should you take anything in this COMEDY podcast as professional advice. Research stuff, people!

We are on the road! Hear our tales of driving 15 hours in the car to meet old people. Plus, we got an exercise bike – and Donna almost died.

So, my therapist fired me again. Ryan joins Donna to discuss "Paws of Fury: the Legend of Hank" plus 80s music videos and porn. 

Who won the lottery? It ME! That's what it said on the website... Ah, well, at least I got to enjoy these classic movies.

What?? Did you know there is PORN on the internet? Well, now my grandson knows it too. PLUS, another edition of "Well, that pissed me off." Special guests: Ryan Shannon and Dia Kline.

Some things just piss you off. Hear us discuss the misuse of handicap bathrooms, bad traffic, covid, and killer robots.

Go Avs! We are going to the Stanley Cup! Well, the team is, we aren't. Damn tickets, costing money and stuff. But we DID get "free" tickets to Top Gun: Maverick. Spoiler alert: Donna didn't like it.

We got a new cat - Felix D. Katz! Now, don't worry, neither he nor our other cat Georgie is stupid. However, my dad's dog, Barqs, is another story.

On the last days of our Florida family trip, where we swam with manatees, ate food, and watched knights battle to the death (sort-of).

Yep, Universal Studios in Orlando is more of our speed, but I am cursed to always have a bad time around Harry Potter. Is it because I'm a Slytherin?

Family vacation PART 1! Holy cats! I paid WAAAYY to much to take people to Disney World. Turns out, Disney World is probably too wholesome for us. Except for Rise of the Resistance.

Today, I convert my special guest Dia Kline from a hockey virgin into a confirmed fan! We went to the March 5, 2022, Colorado Avalanche vs. the Calgary Flames game - I try my best to fill in Dia on the rules (mistakes will be made) and Dia gives her impressions (more mistakes will be made.) However, a good time was had by all.   PS: Dia was indoctrinated before she knew it, as evidenced by this early picture. (Yes, we know the team name is different. Mistakes were made.)

Sometimes trying new foods can put you in the emergency room. Plus, my grandparents really took their racism to the next level. They wouldn't even get me a ventriloquist dummy. 

Gather 'round, children, while I share the tale of a beloved Christmas spirit - Krampus! Plus, find out when I discovered the truth about Santa Claus. It's tragic.

Have you seen my dik dik? It's worth a look! Not only that, we are going to explore what animals have the best sex life. It's probably not who you think!

What's more fun than a wedding? A funeral, of course! Well, at least the pre-planning part. But if someone dies in your bed, you might want to tell your next partner about that.
