Wiger’s Toothsome Eggs, Mitch’s 28 to 30 Days Later, Sleep Paralysis

It’s The Alison Rosen/Doughboys Crossover Event Spectacular of the Century in that I was on the Doughboys Double on Tuesday and now they are on my show!!! Have you ever wanted to hear some of your favorite guests talk about various types of USB cables? You’d think you wouldn’t but you’d be surprised! It wasn’t just tedious tech talk with Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell though! We also talked about my recent appearance on their show, creative inspiration, Nick’s alpha brother, ghost kitchens, sleep paralysis, tipping amounts, your parents’ tipping customs, hat man, Tony’s drumming, DQ’s food Qs and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

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

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, 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!
