On tonight’s ARIYNBF
Laura Leu and Adam Winer AKA The Navigeaters!
A preview of an Italian soap opera in which I play a cabbage saleswoman with a mysterious past!
A surprise I can’t tell you about because then it wouldn’t be a surprise!
Fan phone call! (click to find out how to enter)
Me telling you about my merchandise! And possibly telling you about this thing that happened yesterday that was annoying!
TV Talk!
Happy Ducklings!
Dustin! Nevada! Koryn!
Your Shoutouts! (here’s the deal you guys, I’ve been too busy this week to secure a sponsor so while that is great and means I’ve been busy writing, it’s also not great in terms of me having the show sponsored. Which is why I’m pushing the shoutouts! They’re like tiny microsponsorships!)
Me worrying I’ve become obnoxious! (see above)
This still cracks me up (Italian scene from the last ARIYNBF)
By the way, this would be a great time to RSVP for the next episode featuring Laura Leu and Adam Winer and a whole crapload of surprises. In fact I kind of want to tell you about the surprises right now. Should I? Hm.
On tonight’s Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend
Tonight is a super duper special awesome show (ok fine, I say that about all of them but I REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME) because my friend Nevada Caldwell will be dropping in and she has choreographed every aspect of this from her outfit to her opera cake. I don’t know you guys, I just work here. Also, we’ll be talking Natali Del Conte and learning about the iPad and probably we’ll have to discuss NOODLES.
Here’s me and Natali!
And Dustin may or may not show up. Don’t even get me started on that guy. And of course we’ll be doing all the things you love like JMOE and TV Talk and phone-a-fan and dating experiment and I have new songs to play you that Trapp wrote and they are amazing!
Tonight’s sponsor is Saxton Manufacturing Co. They also sponsored last week’s show. You should call them up this instant and thank them for keeping this show going because I’ve been calling them every minute on the minute thanking them but I am just one person. I just learned a lot about water treatment including all the different kinds of things that could be in your water depending if you live in a city or rural environment. Seriously, I could go on Jeopardy and sweep the water category, if there were one. Uranium, you guys. URANIUM in water! It’s happened! So the thing about Saxton is they can deal with any kind of water treatment situation you need to take care of. And they’re nice. How nice? So nice they sponsored this show and the last one. You can ask for water hardness testing strips for free if you want a fun free thing and you can also talk about any water questions or issues by emailing Gary at SaxtonAR [at] gmail [dot ]com or using the form on their web site. You can also call (714) 546-9020 for info. Deep discount for my viewers so mention that, won’t you?
Phone-a-fan details!
You know what I need? Some kind of show wiki. In lieu of that, a show website. In lieu of that, just somewhere to go to get info about the show like a page. I need to get on that. In the meantime I’ll just regurgitate the info and spit it into your mouth like a bird, because who doesn’t love birds? Especially birds with info?
Here’s the phone-a-fan details you need to know, should you want a piece of this action, which you pretty much do:
Okay my little quesadillas, this is how it’s going to go down. Instead of having the last fan choose who the next fan to receive a call on the show is, I’m thinking everyone who wants to get a call should send me their info and I will put all of it in a hat although it’s quite possible it won’t really be a hat and instead it will be a double boiler or a shoe.
If I call you and you don’t answer, I will pull another name out of the hat and you will silently curse your cruel fate.
So send me your name and number (I fear this request sounds creepy but I assure you I will not do anything with your numbers other than put them in said shoe or hat or boiler) to alisonrosenisyournewbestfriend at gmail dot com and you will be entered into lifechanging phone call territory. Speaking of territory, for now this is limited to the continental US because I can’t afford to call other places because that’s the kind of show I’m doing: a cheap one. BUT I LOVE YOU ALL!
Also on tomorrow’s show, awesome guests. I’m putting the final touches on the awesomeness now, so I don’t want to say for sure, because it’s not for sure, but then nothing in this world is. Except my love for you. That is rock solid. And the fact that I can only handle TV makeup on my face for so long before I want to peel it off or punch someone. See you tomorrow! Or later tonight!

Tom Rapp made this video and I love it!

On tonight’s Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend
Tonight’s show is a mere five hours away! Can you even hardly wait? My stomach is full of butterflies and my to-do lists are full of notes. Seriously, I don’t know how this is happening but instead of getting stuff done, I’m just generating lists. Perhaps my guest Andrew W.K. can help me with said problem because in addition to being a rock star he’s a motivational speaker and a club owner and a party maven. Seriously, he posts party tips on twitter often and they are both funny and profound.
So I have this idea that I want to have a BATTLE OF THE FANS with him where we pit our fans against one another because everyone loves a competition including me. I win! I just won, you guys! I didn’t even know I was playing!
I’m trying to figure out the best way to do this. Option 1: somehow I get one of my fans on the phone and one of his fans and then we quiz them. Option 2: We ask questions and fans chime in in the chat room and we see whose fans take longer to respond. If anyone has a feeling about which way would be better, make that feeling known. I think they both will work. But regardless, you should all be brushing up on your Rosen vs. W.K. trivia.
And also, I will phone-a-fan! And Koryn will stop by! And Dustin will be here! And there will be deleted tweets! And Just Me Or Everyone? And TV Time! And results from week 4 of The Dating Experiment! And a new song!
And I shouldn’t be the only one whose dating life is public and pitiful. If you’re having trouble finding that special someone, write in to the show and explain your situation and I will help you find love because that’s what best friends do. Or at the very least I will maybe read your email on the air. Hey, that’s something! Write to: alisonrosenisyournewbestfriend [at] gmail [dot] com. Put “I’m a catch” in the subject line. Do it! It will feel good.
And I’m happy to announce my second sponsor! It’s Saxton Manufacturing Co. They make ecofriendly water treatment products and ecofriendly water softeners and they also make drinking water filtration systems and they also used to have a duck named Quackers that wore a bonnet. And they won an Oscar for the design and manufacture of a silver recovery system for the motion picture industry! But back to the duck, they had to release the duck in a nearby park eventually because it was making too much noise and neighbors were complaining! But Quackers didn’t want to leave her human family. It’s so sad! (Eventually it worked out and Quackers went on to lead a wonderful life in the park with other ducks, I am sure!)
Saxton Manufacturing Co doesn’t normally sell directly to the end user (that’s you) but because they want to do a nice thing for the viewers of my show, they’ll hook you up with whatever system you need at dealer cost which is roughly 60% off list. So if your water is bugging you, now you know who to call. In fact, I think that should be their slogan. For more info or for free hard water testing strips (I want these just to play with) email Saxtonar [at] gmail [dot] com and say you watch my show!
Man alive I am good at sales! I just cold called myself and closed like six deals. Then I wheeled and dealed for an additional twenty minutes and then I won employee of the month! (That’s where they send you a different employee each month.)
Okay, see you tonight!!!!
Oh and also, I will be on Red Eye tomorrow, so write that shit down.
