Go here to see another photo of Andrew WK and another of Andrew and Alison

Andrew WK stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to discuss life as a musician, motivational speaker and port-o-potty fan. Along the way he and Alison shared way too much and Alison is already wondering if she shouldn’t have dialed it back. In short: don’t eat while listening to this episode. Andrew WK also discussed his fashion choices, battles with depression, thoughts on relationships, love of babies and hopes and dreams for the future. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone (click here to see the JMOEs we put on the screen) and reminisced about the time Andrew WK appeared on the Ustream talk show Alison used to do in her living room in Brooklyn.
