Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Gossip Muffins!)

By Alison Rosen on July 17, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Daniel and I brought the equipment inside to record this episode, featuring the Tucson emergency room Covid saga, after the kids went to bed. We also took your calls. Daniel let me know he doesn’t care for much of my content and perhaps you will agree. We also talked about old muffins chock full of gossip, some zillion dollar ideas, gaps in my education, teachers who are also coaches and more! We may have made fun of Tony. A light ribbing. Look, I don’t remember this but according to his notes we did. I’m sure we didn’t mean it.

We landed the Bad Boy of Podcasting himself! Holed up in Pittsburgh hotel room, Tony Thaxton fills me in on life on the road with Motion City Soundtrack. Also apparently his mom has been listening to recent episodes of the show and now I feel bad that I’ve been lightly badmouthing him so much. He started it! We talk about his rough adjustment to being around humans again, the nice words about his drumming that people keep forcing upon him, other drummers, wrestling, tour bus life and so much more. We also answer your questions and then he puts me on the spot! What a dick!
