Tod Perry’s Tortoises, Robin Shorr’s High School Diary, Tony’s Immediate Shower

By Alison Rosen on February 23, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Do you take a shower immediately upon waking? Tony does. And then he puts on shoes! (And also clothes.) I prefer to wake up slowly before being violently accosted by wetness. Tod Perry is here and he frequents the same sandwich shop where Greg Heller famously left a Yelp review for reasons we can’t remember. Robin Shorr is here and she brought her diary! And turns out Tod did as well! An embarrassment of diaries! Daniel is here and he’s so sick of me talking about his mayonnaise habit but I refuse to stop. Plus some Generation X talk and so much more!

Arden Myrin’s Apples, Rob Cohen’s Crazy Ladies, Alison’s Revenge

By Alison Rosen on February 16, 2022 in podcast

Arden Myrin, fresh from food poisoning, is here to encourage my eventual move to Rhode Island. Rob Cohen, who has not only been to Arden’s hometown but met her dad, is also here to be uncomfortable while I ask him personal questions. Tony is here too and claims he has no game but I don’t buy it. I’m a little up in my head following a recent podcast appearance and also my husband is encroaching on my bathroom counter space. I’d write more here but if he sees this he’ll be on to me. I have a plan thanks for my guests! And Jeff is here with drops a-plenty! Follow his cat on social media!

By Alison Rosen on February 9, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

I am not okay with receiving emails with, “Is everything okay?” in the subject line. Also, I want to know where everyone stands on deviled eggs. Wendy just experienced her first zoom bombing and Dave has started drinking coffee. And he’s good at it! I need to figure out what to do about an interview situation and Wendy is seducing Daniel with the aforementioned deviled eggs. Plus mental haunted houses and more.

Scotty Landes is in Tahiti, Kurt Braunohler Doesn’t Care Anymore, Violent Stretching

By Alison Rosen on January 26, 2022 in podcast

Kurt Braunohler and Scotty Landes of Bananas are here with us although actually Scotty is currently in Tahiti. He’s also been in Bora Bora and Moorea where he learned fish love pepperoni pizza. I want to know if it’s ok to violently and loudly stretch while talking to someone or if that needs to be saved for the same people you burp and fart in front of. Also we are getting to the bottom of coconut jellybeans. Jeff Fox claims he’s never had one. I am dubious. Plus Charlie Fromage, larping, hot chocolate, buttholes, Just Me Or Everyone and a secret audio easter egg at the very end!
