ARIYNBF 115 with Joel Stein

Super funny writer Joel Stein stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk about his new book, Man Made (A Stupid Quest for Masculinity) for which he let people yell at him while he tried to pee and almost shot a turkey. He also did other, manlier things including fainting and something with Boy Scouts. Then he accused me of having an imaginary boyfriend and misremembering The Brady Bunch. We also talked about massages, black out sex and other stuff which I’m having trouble recalling at this moment but I’m pretty sure was amazing. And of course we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone (click here to see the JMOEs we put up on the screen) and read your iTunes comment of the week.

ARIYNBF 111 with Hungry Girl AKA Lisa Lillien

Two Girls, One Sombrero

Lila Lillien, AKA Hungry Girl (“foodologist”, bestselling author and Food Network show host) stops by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk about recipe development, sending foods to a lab to double check calorie counts, tofu noodles, how she went from from being a media executive to running her own business, iCarly, ducks on a date, hair straightening, one night stands, relationships and escalators among other things. I’m just going to say this right now: I think I come off as extra nutty and calorie-obsessed in this episode. I assure you in real life I’m a delight. Just ask Lisa Lillien! (I’m pretty sure we’re BFFs now. I want us to be.) Also in this episode we found out a little more about Gary’s personal life! And we played a special foodcentric Just Me Or Everyone. (Click here to see the JMOEs we put up on the screen.) Plus your emails and the iTunes comment of the week. And topic sombrero!
