Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

It’s time for an adorable seal

Written by Alison | February 21st, 2012 at 10:09 am | Comments

I can’t stand how cute this is. CAN’T STAND IT! Also there’s jackhammering outside my window which is a less cute kind of thing I can’t stand.

ARIYNBF 102 with Dustin Goot and your calls

Written by Alison | February 19th, 2012 at 9:12 pm | Comments

Dustin Goot and me (back when we put ourselves on Ustream and occasionally wore antlers)(Not to be confused with when we wore this or this or this)

First of all I want to thank everyone for the amazing reaction to our first episode! We debuted at number one on the iTunes comedy chart and have held the top spot ever since! Also we were number one on the main iTunes chart for a chunk of time as well! In your face, This American Life! (Right now we’re number 4 on that chart. Update, number 10.) All of which is to say we really appreciate the support. (Please enjoy this photo of ARIYNBF at the top of the iTunes and Comedy charts!)

Anyway, on the second episode of ARIYNBF:

Dustin Goot–my old sidekick and longtime friend–joined the show to talk about relationships, humane ways to break up, the way I used to have a knack for selecting the wrong guy, Rosenating, burping contests, the difference between real production and doing a show in my living room, threesomes (and how awkward they are), porn stars who aren’t nobel laureates, embarrassing things people do in their cars and why you shouldn’t go to dinner with people in business school or keep track of how many times you’ve been dumped. Also we took some calls and played a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

Please love the episode and rate it highly. It’s a little different than the others but I think you’ll enjoy it all the same.

Also please love the hell out of our sponsors! What sponsors you ask? You can get to all of them from the sidebar on this page but also you can do it here by going to Gamefly, AmazonEndless and Adam and Eve (NSFW).

a completely unimportant thought that is stuck in my head

Written by Alison | February 15th, 2012 at 2:34 pm | Comments

Sometimes I get songs stuck in my head and sometimes I get words stuck in my head and sometimes I get thoughts stuck in there and here’s one that’s been taking up space periodically over the last few months:

How does one describe the difference between black cherry and cherry?

This isn’t a koan. I’m pretty sure someone could describe the difference, since I can definitely taste the difference and there’s a very real difference. But it’s tough to put it into words. I suppose black cherry is more mellow and cherry is more tangy/tart?

In other news I can’t stand having to wait until Monday to put up another episode of my podcast! I’m so excited that you guys like it!

This threatened to make me cry

Written by Alison | February 13th, 2012 at 1:52 pm | Comments

So pretty much everything cute involving animals almost makes me cry or actually makes me cry. I would attribute it to hormones except I only started taking them a couple days ago (to control endometriosis… might I tell you more about my lady plumbing?) and this crying-over-adorable-animals bullshit has been going on for ages. But back to the singing donkey, or as my dad, Dr. Bruce and Bill Maher say, “dunkey” (I think it’s an East Coast thing).

Behold!

ARIYNBF 101 with Pete Holmes

Written by Alison | February 9th, 2012 at 10:50 pm | Comments

Oh hi! I bet you’ve come here to hear what all the fuss with the new podcast is about. Am I right? AMIRITE? I hate when people write it that way. Also I h8 when ppl rite it that way.

Okay enough fucking around. The inaugural episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend with guest Pete Holmes will be available for downloading and loving the hell out of on Monday which really means late Sunday night.

On the first episode we talked about my hobbit house, Pete’s first sexual experiences and what he’s looking for in a girl (hint: himself) (oooh, that’s an unintentional dirty joke!)(I really just mean he wants a girl who’s similar to him)(Okay enough parentheticals.) Also we talked about Ryan Gosling and deleted tweets and assorted other stuff, all of which is awesome. Please feel free to love this episode and then click the hell out of the sponsor links on the right. Do it!

Also please rank this episode highly if you like it and tell a friend or 16.

I suppose this episode will need some credits and this is how that’s going to go, I think:

Executive producer: Alison Rosen

Producer: Gary “PG13″ Smith

Music: Tom Rapp

Logo: Kezilla

Happy Birthday, Woofie

Written by Alison | February 6th, 2012 at 10:18 am | Comments

Woofie was the dog I grew up with. People always thought we were saying Wolfie which is kind of tough and cool–and Van Halen-ish–instead of Woofie, which is neither. But he was a good dog and I was fairly devastated when he died many years ago and for some reason I always remember his birthday, which would have been today.

Here are some old posts about him, in case you need to look at photos and read some words, which you do.

In other news, my brand new podcast is launching on February 13th! Cancel all your plans!

Kevin and Adam had it out

Written by Alison | January 31st, 2012 at 10:07 pm | Comments

So Kevin Smith came on the podcast tonight and he and Adam discussed their conflict and even though there may have been some yelling–or if not yelling, some talking in enthusiastic tones–I don’t think I suffered PTSD. I could say more but I need to change clothes and watch The Bachelor.

Here’s a Keek. I’m embedding a keek. Doesn’t that sound scatological? Pardon my keek. KEEEEEEEEK. Side note: What the fuck is a keek?


@alisonrosen and @thatkevinsmith after an intense show. Download it tomorrow.

When cute things make me cry

Written by Alison | January 30th, 2012 at 1:15 pm | Comments

Certain things are so cute they make me want to cry. Ever since having what I referred to as a “cutegasm” on air while watching a video of a baby bat I’ve been on the receiving end of all sorts of cute pictures and videos.

Here’s today’s adorableness. Bulldog puppies learning to walk!
