The Daily Alison (featuring Koryn, former Maxim Radio "Emergency Hot Chick")

Former Maxim Radio “Emergency Hot Chick” probably isn’t the best way to describe my friend Koryn however “smart, funny writer who happens to be able to do an array of voices” is just too long.

Here’s a story she wrote about how to spend a billion dollars. She currently writes for Esquire and other Hearst publications.

    That was great! Is there any information about Koryn online, like a web site or blog?

    I'm impressed with people who can do different voices & impersonations (like Billy West on Red Eye last week). I once worked with a guy who was pretty good at it. His best impersonation believe it or not was Katharine Hepburn. He had her down cold, like her shaking head and trembling voice. His best line for her was from On Golden Pond when she said, “Don't you get tired of it Chelsea, bore, bore, bore.”

    He also did an almost perfect Pee Wee Herman. Just for laughs we went to see Big Top Pee Wee in the theater together. He did his impersonation through the whole movie and had me in tears.

    Nothing to do with the video, but, I was just watching a documentary about Mr. T on the bio channel, and I saw you giving comments and I thought “Wow, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen!” So I was motivated to google, and that brought me here, writing this comment!

    The headband really suits you. I was hoping you would make fun of pretentious play-goers and say that you wanted to “take in” a play.

    Where are these negative comments in the press that you speak of?

    Got me thinking that, in a funny way, you're real danger to your reputation isn't your critics, it's your crazy fans.

    The next your critics come up, you could be like, “Well, I have been called a nihilist, but, that was actually by one of my best fans, and he meant it in the best possible way, or, in a way beyond good and evil….so, it doesn't really count as negative criticism from his standpoint….but, other people might see that as negative phrase, since it's a loaded word.”

    My sister has this hilarious story about a 10-year old boy she babysat for being at an album signing at the mall for Ryan Cabrera. When it was his turn to talk to Ryan, he began shouting at him about how awesome he was in the most excited state of his life. He didn't hold back – at all. The entire line of 14-year old girls and their mothers was on the floor in laughter. What is it they say? Flattery is the sister of slander?

    That was funny. It was cool to see you smile when you friend broke into an Irish accent. Yes, we men find you women hard to understand. What is that expression you used? Pop a ballogi? I googled it and could not find it. I hope you are on RedEye again soon, you always say something witty. Hope you Wiki me sometime.

    It was: Hock up a loogie. Hawk up a loogie? Cough up a loogie, on other
    words. But pop a ballogi is kind of awesome.

    I've been using sulfate free shampoos for years, love them, and not all of them are weird, syrupy concoctions that don't lather. For something low cost, try David Babaii for WildAid. Most drugstores carry it. Other options are Pureology, Kenra Platinum and A/G Color Saviour. L'oreal just came out with one called EverPure and I've read a lot of rave reviews, I just wasn't a fan.

    Why don't you just but a dog at a pet shop? And what are you looking at during the phone interview?

    Very funny. Can't wait for the next conversation with Koryn. I found the egg beater intro strangely arousing.
