I finally set up a number you can call to leave messages for me and my show and perhaps eventually I’ll even take calls on the air! Could it be more exciting? The answer is no. And I even got a somewhat personalized number which definitely wasn’t my first choice:
480 442-44AliRo (480 442-5476)
Genius fan Mugby realized it’s also 480 HiAliRo which is even better!
Anyway, call and maybe we’ll play your message on air!
My sister and I like to invent games which other people tend not to appreciate nearly as much as we do which I’ve always chalked up to the fact we’re lightning years ahead of our time. In the future, everyone will play the following game:
Nasty Ass: Someone mentions a category of items and then you have to name a specific thing in that group that you personally find to be unpleasant. There is a twist, however, a subtle nuance if you will, in that there can’t be anything inherently gross about the item, it just has to be something you personally find unappealing. This is a distinction not everyone understands. So for example if the category is Nasty Ass breadstuffs you could say “jalapeno muffin” or “banana nut loaf” but you could not say “moldy bread.” Or if the category is Nasty Ass furniture you could say “wicker” but you could not say “a desk with barf all over it.” The game is admittedly ill-named because people hear “nasty ass” and think they’re supposed to come up with something disgusting. Maybe it should be called “I don’t care for that, personally, though I know some other people do.” Except we want to one day make a “12 Months of Nasty Ass” calendar and each month will feature a large photo of a Nasty Ass (by our definition) item and frankly, “12 Months of Items We Don’t Care For Personally Though We Realize Some Other People Do” would never fly off a spinner rack.
On today’s ARIYNBF Dustin Goot makes his triumphant return. Will he be changed after his first semester of business school? Will he want to invest my ducklings and do a wavy portfolio dance? Will he call attention to the fact that I clearly have very little understanding of what goes on in business school? Who’s to say really.
In other news my old college apparently set up a petting zoo-style pen with puppies and a pen with bunnies during finals as a way for students to blow off some steam. Why don’t more people do this kind of thing? This has nothing to do with my show.
Back to the show, please hang out with us at 4:30 pst today!
And buy a t-shirt and put some money in the donation jar should you feel compelled to do either!
And also, send in your number for fan phone call! (send it to fanphonecall AT alisonrosen DOT com and put “number” in subject line)
This is essentially the pie baking money shot. Click the little refresh window to the left of the pause/play button if it loads and then stalls. Also? I love you.
Tasting the pie (from Sunday’s ARIYNBF)
Hot pumpkin on nuts action
Missed last Sunday’s show? Don’t cry. Here’s part 1, which is long, and part 2, which is short.
What are you doing on Sunday, Dec 5? No, I’m sorry, that’s wrong.
Instead, you’ll be watching my show at 4:30pm because a man who has baked one pie in his entire life but is extremely proud of said confection will be coming on my show to demonstrate his baking prowess. He already asked me if swearing and drinking are allowed on the show if that’s any indication of the entertainment that lies ahead.
Here’s the problem I’m having though and maybe you guys can help me through this. On TV cooking segments there’s already a pie made ahead of time so that after they pop the pie in the oven they can magically pull out an already made pie. So he and I were going to get together ahead of time to make a pie so you guys won’t have to wait the 23 hours it takes for the fucker to bake. (45 minutes)
But then I was thinking if we’re going to do that we may as well turn on the camera for that and stream it, so we’re going to have to get together ahead of that to make a pie. See what I’m saying?
So I’m thinking since we’re all new best friends here, maybe we should just hang out during the 45 minutes it takes the pie to bake? Or should I go for the on-air magic of having the pie made ahead of time? The magic which I’ve already disclosed?
WHAT TO DO?
And while we’re talking, do send in your phone number for fan phone call if you haven’t already. Send it to fanphonecall AT alisonrosen DOT com and put “number” in the subject line.
Ok, see you all Sunday!
