Geriatric Mean Girls, Overly Immersive Theater, Jimmy Pardo’s Labrum

By Alison Rosen on August 31, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Get this, we’re in person! Screenwriter Eva Anderson who was personally recommended on air by Paul Rust is here for the very first time and she didn’t bring Jimmy Pardo any cookies despite having won various ribbons at the county fair! I wasn’t going to say anything, I didn’t even think to be upset, but Jimmy Pardo is steamed. Eva tells us about Andrew Tate’s wizard and her experience with extremely immersive theater. I took a nasty fall in our kitchen and Jimmy has a similar story involving a movie theater and his labrum. Plus Just Me Or Everyone, the return of Snack Chat, and some jokes from Elliot!

Shower Buckets, Spencer’s Gifts, Sexy Reptiles

By Alison Rosen on August 24, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

There’s so much going on in this episode with Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger I don’t know if I can even accurately describe it but I will try. Because of the drought Daniel and I are now bathing with a bucket in the shower to catch our run off. It sucks but allows us to feel virtuous. Also because of the drought Wendy and Daniel’s affair has taken a hit and Wendy has been visited by Gavin Newsom but it’s more complicated than that. Shuffling comes up because of course it does and I listened to the Best Friends Fancast! Plus reptiles and Topic Sombrero!

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.
