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.

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!

The Burbank Snake, The Pillow Reveal, The Rosen Bump!

Halfway through this podcast I found out there was an uninvited slithery guest in a bush outside our house and I valiantly continued even though I wanted to pack my bags and never return!
