Renee’s Berry Farm, Ken’s Maledictorian, Happy Thanksgiving!

By Alison Rosen on November 24, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Daniel was salutatorian in high school but didn’t give a speech. Also the valedictorian didn’t give a speech or even attend the graduation because his high school was, as we find out, cruel. Ken Reid wanted his high school to have a maledictorian. Renee Colvert went to Knott’s Merry Farm and saw a show which raises some questions about the rapture. I don’t like haunted houses. Tony might be the headliner tonight, but I doubt it. Also, a laser went up Ken’s pee hole!

Sarah Baker’s Chainsaws, Wendy Molyneux’s Hugh Grant Manifestation, Alison’s Minor Surgery

By Alison Rosen on November 17, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Wendy Molyneux is here but she isn’t wearing her traditional ghillie suit, to Daniel’s chagrin. Sarah Baker is here with her chainsaws and fun facts. Both Wendy and Sarah have medical stories to share which prompts me to talk about my recent very minor procedure even though I am tempted not to talk about it. But the people demand to know the status of my Versed experience. Plus crazy coincidences involving Wendy manifesting Hugh Grant. Plus Covid scares, pastrami, Nicole Kidman, David Faustino and Meryl Streep’s forgotten gem and so much more including Just Me Or Everyone.
