Alie Ward’s Fishnet Burn, Call Centers, DQ’s Beautiful Butt Crack

By Alison Rosen on July 4, 2018 in podcast

Alie Ward joins us on this episode to talk about her experience working in call centers, the special challenges faced by summer goths (fishnet sunburn) and the specific poultry Ron Popeil hates. I share an update on the personal news I revealed last week (being vague for people who aren’t up to date) and Daniel and I discuss Daniel’s underwear strategy and why he’d prefer people see his gorgeous butt crack instead the top of his underwear. Also questions about how thick human skin is, wormholes and the space-time continuum, words used incorrectly, iTunes Comments of the Week, Gilly and a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Personal News, David’s Potato Salad, Alison’s Hand Flapping

By Alison Rosen on June 27, 2018 in podcast

Alison has two to three bits of personal news to share, some of which Daniel doesn’t even know yet. But first, David shares the important role potato salad played in his life and talks about the experience of being filmed for the documentary Tig and Last Comic Standing. Then a heated round of our “signature” segment that we don’t know the name of, “Yes Puh-leeze, Oh Puh-leeze or Bitch Please?” breaks out regarding milk versus dark chocolate. Tempers flare! Then we determine the best email sign off which gives Alison a new lease on life, discuss grudges and Alison divulges the weird way she takes pills. Plus a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Savory Puddings, Errant Nails, The Rise of Fascism

By Alison Rosen on June 20, 2018 in podcast

Everyone on the show is disturbed with the state of the world. After introducing our guests (Renee Colvert and Daniel Van Kirk join us) and talking about unflattering nicknames, ice box cakes, various tri-state areas and a sitcom about Dinosaurs that Alison never knew existed, we discuss historical parallels and the guilt of doting on our own kids in our comfortable homes while migrant families are being separated and detained. Then we read an email from a listener who backs up Alison’s fear that Daniel’s laundry will swallow her own, the short culinary shrift pudding and tapioca receive, whether there’s a market for savory puddings, Daniel Van Kirk’s new show Pen Pals Podcast and a gross story involving flying bits of fingernails. We also talk about Ray Oldhafer and his podcast and do a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Alison and Daniel have added a new/used car to their lives but Alison is bristling at her new straight-down-the-middle mom-in-her-40s identity.

Lauren Sivan Speaks Out

By Alison Rosen on June 3, 2018 in podcast

Television and radio journalist Lauren Sivan (Oxygen’s Abuse of Power, KABC Dr. Drew Midday Live with Lauren Sivan) found herself part of the news cycle late last year when she spoke out about her own disturbing Harvey Weinstein experience. We talk about the incident and bizarre aftermath, why she chose to come forward (though really, she says she’d been telling everyone who would listen for years), her experiences with harassment, the culture at Fox News where she worked for many years, feeling betrayed by her most recent employer and the way they handled her ouster, relationships in general, working with Dr. Drew, hosting Oxygen’s Abuse of Power and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.
