Jackie’s Squirrel Poop, Tim’s Stock Photos, Cake or Pie?

By Alison Rosen on December 16, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

You think we aren’t going to delve into controversial and hard-hitting topics like cake versus pie? You’re wrong, but first we have a lot of other stuff to get through like the shape of giraffe poop, squirrel poop, Jackie Johnson’s new living situation, Tim Kalpakis’s love of stock photos (man who doesn’t enjoy his corn dog, anyone?), Tony’s holiday decorations and so much more. Plus one update from Alison that’s sad and another that’s pathetic. The pathetic one involves Vanderpump Rules. Also HGFY and JMOE and more!

What’s that saying about how if you can make yourself burp, you’ll never be alone?

Plus we took your calls, did Deleted Tweets and HGFY, discussed a news story, I challenged Daniel to give me one GD compliment and we talked about how Daniel will be leaving me for the woman from Queen’s Gambit.

Alison’s Shower Superstition, Jordan’s Bread Bomb, Carlye’s Kim K Meeting

By Alison Rosen on October 21, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

Theme Park journalist Carlye Wisel joins us for the first time and she wants to know why, if Jordan Morris is only eating two slices of bread a week, he isn’t choosing what she dubs “event bread.” It’s a good question but the heart wants what it wants and Jordan wants Dave’s Killer Bread. Fuck you, Ezekial. Alison is off her game for the second week straight. Could it be because she ran afoul of her shower superstition? Also, which is better, Disneyland or Disneyworld? And what was the last thing we all did before lockdown? Plus Caryle saw Kim Kardashian up close and it wasn’t what we expected.

Ben Sheehan

By Alison Rosen on October 18, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

Ben Sheehan is the author of OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? A Non-Boring Guide to How Our Democracy is Supposed to Work. His premise is simple: the constitution is the user manual for how our government is supposed to run—and it’s a government for the people by the people meaning we’re the ones who are supposed to be operating it—and yet most of us don’t even know what’s in this document. He’s a former producer for Funny Or Die, the Hollywood Reporter named him one of entertainment’s 35 Rising Executives Under 35 and perhaps most importantly to listeners of this show, he’s engaged to be married to frequent guest Jackie Johnson. We talked about his childhood in DC and Bethesda, MD, his relationship with his brother, civics versus history, hustling, comedy, music, whether Trump can steal the election and so much more. Plus we took your questions. Full video available on http://youtube.com/alisonrosen
