Murderous Neighbors, Micro Machines, Sibling Love

By Alison Rosen on October 19, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Robin Shorr is here in person and her pants match her purse but she swears it’s not on purpose. Her old neighbor Luka Jones whom I loved as Aidy Bryant’s boyfriend in Shrill is here and not only is he an actor but he has a PhD in philosophy. We talk about neighbor stuff, sibling love, Bill Murray, Angelina, Robin’s prank, Nelson Franklin whom I don’t know, acting in general, height, assimilation, the micro machines guy, holidays and more. Plus Just Me Or Everyone!

Audience Pops, One-Star Reviews, Can Alison Name The Planets?

By Alison Rosen on October 5, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Dalton Castle, RJ City, Tony Thaxton and Daniel Quantz are here for a very fun episode wherein not only do we see who knows Dalton best but somehow, and I still don’t quite know BUT I HAVE SOME THEORIES, we also find out just how little I know regarding the order of the planets and the names of the Great Lakes. I did not sign off on this. I did not start hosting a show so I could be quizzed like this. Also we talk about Carvel turkey cakes, Daniel’s existential questions for five year olds, my plans to hand the show to Tony, RJ’s dad’s sweet comments, ring names, wrestling lingo, a guy who is loosely connected to space who’s taken an interest in Dalton’s wife and more.

Soul Sweatshirts, Under-Desk Hammocks, Daniel’s Eye-Doctor Girlfriend

By Alison Rosen on September 14, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Jenna, Al and Jeff are here to witness Daniel’s sunglasses which he claims are because he got his eyes dilated and not because he’s trying to be cool. Still raw from when he cheated on me in a dream with the eye doctor/professor, I need some details. Also, I’m wearing the hoodie he hates and Jenna gets it in a big way. So does Al. Jenna and Al recently guarded their new patio from deer in a creative and some might say insane way. Also, Jenna has a show coming up this weekend where she’ll be taping her next special in Chandler, Arizona and we have a discount code for you. It’s JENNA50 at Ticketmaster (search Jenna Kim Jones). Plus, can you pull your kid out of school if you have a decent reason or not? I need to know how this works.

Canadian Passive-Aggressiveness, Extreme Cheese, The Perfect Salesman

By Alison Rosen on September 7, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Andrew Hunt has returned with stories of cheese I never want to try and also how to know if you’ve run afoul of someone from Canada. It has to do with the number of times they say fine! Renee Colvert has emerged from her long seclusion and we couldn’t be more delighted. Jeff Fox is here and so is Daniel and we’re doing Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze. Daniel and I encountered the most perfect salesman. We’re impressed and frightened. But also soothed and comforted! Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.
