Out on her Fanny: A Podcast About The Nanny

Tons of topics discussed in this episode. Tons! We definitely talk about The Nanny. We probably talk about canasta, which we still believe might be some kind of carbonated beverage, or possibly a planet from Doctor Who. Ernie Hudson is mentioned at least once. Honestly, I didn’t take great notes while I was editing this one, but we had fun recording it so that’s gotta count for something, right? Episode 2.16: Canasta Masta Orig...

Content warning: The episode of The Nanny discussed contains some fatphobia, which we discuss on the show. What are the chances of Ben and Mandy buckling down and discussing The Nanny without going off-topic? We may never know. Anyway, here’s an episode of the podcast. Does anybody ever read these? Again, nobody knows! Episode 2.15: Kindervelt Days Original Airdate: 01/02/95 Synopsis: After asking Maxwell to take her to a summ...

Content warning: The episode of The Nanny discussed contains transphobia and fatphobia, which we discuss at length on the show.

When a celebrity guest not a celebrity guest? When they’re a celebrity jar! Sorry, that one got away from me. Nevertheless, Cher both is and is not in this episode of The Nanny, which leads us to deepen our speculation concerning Gracie’s WandaVision scenario. Also, y’know, we discuss the stuff we mentione...

We return from our hiatus to discuss matters of import – for instance, would Poison Ivy bone down with Captain Planet? And who would Fran Drescher be the best fit to play in the DC Universe? Meanwhile, the death of Invictus Cor affords Lord Zalaxx the opportunity to invade Goliath IX. Unless, of course, Captain Quasar has managed to free herself from the Agony Bonds of Space Prison… Episode 2.13: The Strike Original Airdate: 11...

We beg you to resist the urge to PETA at us as we discuss an episode centering around a fur coat, a conversation which leads organically to the discussion of 90s activism and Responsibility Politics. We also discuss the hit TLC reality series Darcy & Stacey, briefly reminisce about Orange Wednesdays, and discuss the bold taste of GULP!, the fish-flavored soda beverage. Episode 2.12: Take Back Your Mink Original Airdate: 11/...

Ben’s brain is old and Mandy’s overly concerned with how to market S’mores to the British public in this week’s troubling episode of Out on her Fanny. Episode 2.11: When You Pish Upon a Star Original Airdate: 11/21/94 Synopsis: Fran regrets encouraging Maxwell to hire a young TV star for his next play. Game show host Bob Barker and columnist Liz Smith appear as themselves. via Shout Factory Follow us on social media @ou...

Valentine’s Day was this week, so we spend perhaps too much of our episode’s limited runtime talking about the mechanics of oral sex. We also discuss the most beautiful words in the English language, what Memorial Day is really for, and we may or may not accidentally doxx Mandy’s brother (sorry, Dan). For a fun game, count how many times we say “69”. The first person to tweet the correct total to us won’t win anything, but they wi...

Content warning: The episode of The Nanny we discuss includes some transphobic humor, which we begin to discuss about 34 minutes into the show We manage to discuss Corbin Bernsen’s guest appearance in this second-season episode of The Nanny without once mentioning that he was in, like, almost all of Psych. Oops. Oh well. At least we discussed the important stuff, like Maxwell’s secret collection of breast art. Possibly we discuss ...

We discuss our family’s racism, the TLC reality series Darcy & Stacy, and Mandy’s impending book deal following a groundbreaking discovery in her childhood. If there’s enough time, we’ll also discuss everyone’s favorite farce about rich people in New York – Gossip Girl. Episode 2.08: Pishke Business Original Airdate: 10/31/94 Synopsis: Fran must woo a big investor after her mother and some friends back Maxwell’s new play. W...

Nothing I write here can possibly prepare for you for the hour of audio you’re about to hear. Just, uh, maybe don’t listen to this one on your Bluetooth speaker at work, okay? This is definitely a headphones on affair.

Episode 2.07: A Star is Un-Born Original Airdate: 10/24/94 Synopsis: To the surprise of everyone, Fran is cast in a Broadway production of Romeo & Juliet. via Shout Factory

It’s impossible for me to type the words “We’re back!” without immediately needing to point out the lack of dinosaurs in the following narrative, so here we are. Mandy talks a little bit about her wedding dress, we once again revisit the idea of a 21st-century reboot, and a cartoon bee threatens to ruin the show. Oh, we also talk about The Nanny, and lambast Shout! Factory for a misleading and offensive episode description. Ep...

Content warning: The episode of The Nanny we discuss includes a transphobic joke, which we discuss at varying points throughout the show. Fran’s nipples, Niles’ breeding, and Maxwell’s dated period jokes are just some – categorically not all – of the topics of discussion that come up as we discuss this particular episode of The Nanny. Episode 2.05: Curse of the Grandmas Original Airdate: 10/10/94 Synopsis: Fran anxiously antic...

We return from our excursion to Anime NYC to essentially ruin the podcast by making pretty much everything about anime. Don’t worry, though – with nearly 75 minutes of airtime, we still manage to talk about childhood separation anxiety, the death of the American cheeseburger, and misheard song lyrics. Oh, we also discuss a little sitcom from the 90s called The Nanny. Episode 2.04: Material Fran Original Airdate: 10/03/94 Synopsis...

Ben deals psychic damage to you, the listener, at no additional cost. Somehow, while discussing an episode of a 90s sitcom in which an Elderly Relative Comes to Stay, we ended up talking about Lord of the Rings, Second World War Waifus, and Will Smith’s “Parents Just Don’t Understand”. Alright, that last one is actually relevant.

Come see Mandy at Anime NYC this weekend! She’ll be at the Sentai Filmworks booth – #1325 – helping to ...

Content Warning: This episode of Out on her Fanny discusses bullying and mental health. We also discuss a joke from the episode of The Nanny that could be interpreted as homophobic.

We dovetail from British Pizza Hut, to Ben’s testicle, to reimagining an 80s kids classic by replacing the lead characters with actor Richard Kind. And to think we thought we’d get through this one quickly. If you want to see Mandy’s tits you listen to ...

Content Warning: The episode of The Nanny we discuss this week includes a joke that could be interpreted as homophobic, and another that could be interpreted as transphobic.

In a startling return to form, we’re actually watching The Nanny this week. Can Mandy record an entire episode of Out on her Fanny while under the psychedelic influences of the Devil’s lettuce? Turns out she’s going to anyway!

Episode 2.01: Fran-lite Origina...

To celebrate our finishing the first season of The Nanny, we momentarily turn our gaze away from Maxwell House and look instead to the stars to appraise Niles actor Daniel Davis’ first guest appearance as the villainous Moriarty in the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Do we discuss the philosophical ramifications of artificial sentience? Absolutely. But we also talk about crumpets as a metaphor for deep dickin’. So,...

Gracie can’t bring back the dead, but she can cut her Nanny in half.

Content Warning: This episode deals with the loss of a parent, and there is a rather candid discussion of Ben’s experience with this during the episode.

Episode 1.22: I Don’t Remember Mama

Original Airdate: 5/16/94

Synopsis: It’s Mother’s Day, and Maxwell tries to avoid all mention of it to avoid upsetting the children. Meanwhile, Grace and Fran enter a Mother...
