By Alison Rosen on December 30, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

It’s the last episode of 2020 and we’re going out with a bang! Paul Rust (Don’t Stop Or We’ll Die, Love, The Great North) is here and he’s royalty. Michael Cassady, his bandmate in Don’t Stop Or We’ll Die and cohost of the new Song-a-Week podcast is here to bring a touch of class. Everyone apparently looooooooved high school except me but that’s fine because I’m busy making Tony find bubbling sound effects for our new segment. Also, will we be featured in 50 Under 50?

Alison’s Petty, Cranky, Wordy Mood and Your Calls! (Plus a look back!)

By Alison Rosen on December 27, 2020 in podcast

This episode was supposed to include Daniel AND an installment of Daniel’s Kewl Beanz but things went sideways so instead you’re just getting me and my cranky mood plus some wonderfully honest listener calls. It’s a high pressure situation! I am still ruminating over this nanny situation and also I think I had a breakthrough regarding the recurring dream discussed last week. Daniel and I are both overly affected by the moods of everyone around us and I’m still processing this year. I bet you are too. I take a look back at the craziness that was 2020 and give a little glimpse of some guests coming up in 2021. Thank you all for being a bright spot this year!

Jackie’s Squirrel Poop, Tim’s Stock Photos, Cake or Pie?

By Alison Rosen on December 16, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

You think we aren’t going to delve into controversial and hard-hitting topics like cake versus pie? You’re wrong, but first we have a lot of other stuff to get through like the shape of giraffe poop, squirrel poop, Jackie Johnson’s new living situation, Tim Kalpakis’s love of stock photos (man who doesn’t enjoy his corn dog, anyone?), Tony’s holiday decorations and so much more. Plus one update from Alison that’s sad and another that’s pathetic. The pathetic one involves Vanderpump Rules. Also HGFY and JMOE and more!
