Niccole’s Self-Tapes, Jackie’s Possums, Daniel’s Vanderpumping

By Alison Rosen on May 19, 2021 in podcast

Niccole Thurman is back and she’s tired of being her own film crew. Jackie Johnson is here with an important question about possums and opossums. Daniel has ripped himself away from the Vanderpump message boards long enough to join us. I’m wondering how everyone handles speaking up for themselves and also, I need to amend my previous cobbler thoughts. Plus Just Me Or Everyone!

Betsy’s California Raisins, Jordan’s Cobblers, Alison’s Deadly Fruits

By Alison Rosen on May 12, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Betsy Sodaro joins us for the first time and she shares Tony’s passion for the The California Raisins! Also, she’s working on not letting things that are out of her control bother her so much. I had another cheesy, vulnerable and embarrassing epiphany and Jordan Morris is here to share his Mother’s Day reaction and to talk breakfast burritos. Where do we all come down on deadly fruits? What about cobbler? Also we discuss where at Disneyland we’d want our remains scattered and Daniel gives us an update on his Sad George Lucas action figure. Also should he professionalize his intros? Plus some Just Me Or Everyone.

Daniel’s Beach Calendar, Wendy’s Counter Protest, Dave’s Clown Method

By Alison Rosen on May 5, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Wendy Molyneux is here and she and her kids drove by a mask protest and had a few choice things to say. Dave Huntsberger is also here as the lone living representative of the clown method. Daniel beams in from a beach to talk about his calendar. I’ve had an epiphany about feeling like an opportunity has passed you by and also I mix up the lyrics to Jambalaya and Shoofly Pie. Even writing this now I feel they should be the same song. Tony is freshly shorn and Wendy recounts some awful things doctors have said to her regarding weight. I discuss feeling judged as well. We talk about body positivity and its challenges and also do a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

Ryan Sickler

By Alison Rosen on April 18, 2021 in podcast

Ryan Sickler is a comedian and podcaster who hosts The Honeydew and before that, The Crabfeast. He was last on the show in 2014, a week after his daughter was born. We caught up and he filled us in on the ways life has been unkind to him since then but how he’s learned it’s all about perspective. We talked about being a single parent, the months before a rare blood disorder was diagnosed where he thought he had cancer, reconciling with his mom, feeling discarded and passed over, the significance of “honeydew,” his Patreon and a lot more including something called defecography. Also his favorite pasta shape. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY and a special appearance of my dog because Ryan wanted to see her. Full video on youtube.com/alisonrosen
