    I wouldn't say that you're shiny. I'd say that you are glowing.

    Two hour commute is just insane. How do you get anything done losing 3+ hours a day in the car? I am simply impressed with your ability to do that. When do you find time to keep up a relationship withall of the drive time? Either way just know that I enjoy you on the podcast and appreciate that you take the time to vlog as well

    You're a nudist? That's a plus in your column.

    According to my magic 8 ball app on my phone, you will do a ustream show before the end of September. You might want to start getting your ducklings in a row now.

    You certainly don't want to start feeling vocally/emotionally handcuffed just cuz you are in a relationship, since it is your nature to share.  I see the dilemma though.  Yet if you stop sharing more of your life than you normally would, then you are already letting the relationship change you.  Change can be good if for the right reasons.

    I don't know who you are dating, but I would assume that they would know all about what you do & that if he likes you, he knows what he is getting into.  Which means he is probably expecting a story or two to get shared with us strangers or on the podcast.  So go for it!  Well, at least pick & choose.  Certainly don't share anything & everything.  If its an entertaining story involving him (or her?  Eh?), then go for it.  If you feel it is borderline or not worthy to share, then it stays an intimate memory or moment.

    I bet as the relationship grows, & hopefully it does for you guys, that you will get a better understanding of these types of boundaries (& him) & how to walk the fine line between intimacy & sharing.  I think if he is a good dude then he's probably OK with just about anything you'd want to share, but maybe only time will tell for sure.  Early in a relationship like you are, there probably is a bit of walking around eggshells.

    No one believes you are required to blab anything of a deeply personal nature, although if you do, we are happy to listen. And in relating incidents involving your relationship with others (friends, family, colleagues, former and current suitors, etc.) candor should always be tempered by charity, so as not to denigrate or humiliate anyone else in the telling. But these things you already know and practice.

    However, if you dating an intensely private man who is touchy about being mentioned in your adventures, perhaps and I say just perhaps, given who you are, that man isn't a good match for you.

    This may well have been meant in an utterly non-creepy way, but the internet has a way of creepifiying any comments related to nudity whatsoever.  Sorry, Joe.

    Hi Alison. I stopped listening to the podcast when Teresa left. Then I came back a few months later and you were on. And you are great. You're a total natural. You can roll with anything and hang with Adam on any topic. I'm back listening because of you. And remember, just like anybody else who's great at their job, you on your worst day is better than most people on their best. So even though you feel like you were crappy on the show, I can assure you that nobody noticed. Everyone thought you were great. Of course, it's the drive to always be better that separates great performers like you from everyone else. So keep it up, I guess. But don't be so hard on yourself. You're really doing great.

    Alison! Remember me?!? Just kidding… Don't you hate people who use dotdotdot all the time?… they're such losers …

    Anywho (don't you hate people that…nevermind), you're great on the podcast. I've been listening since you were on there, day one. Like other people, you know who you are, I hold no personal bias toward Adam's co-hosts. I was able to separate my own emotions from my opinions, leaving me with a tabula rosa(don't you hate people that don't know shit about Latin but use the one phrase they know where ever possible? Ok, I'll admit I took 3 years of Latin, so I know a little more than shit. I know shit AND piss..err something like that) 

    Anywho,(don't you hate..sorry) I've enjoyed listening to you on the show. You've said some really outrageously funny stuff. Hilarious. But…oh no, here he goes…he has to be a dick about something…I feel like the last few shows you've felt the need to be a bit more subdued. 

    So, I get the impression(I've been told I have a good sense about reading people..here he goes again..”let me till you a LITTLE about myself”) that something happened that threw you off your game. Let me pose different scenarios and if you recognize one, admit it, and then you can move on and go back to being the openly funny, and honest woman, I know and love (i realize that line makes me sound gay, but even macho guys feel sometimes..as a single tear rolled down my cheek…stole that one from Carolla) OK, here's what I think:

    – Someone said some negative comment, or multiple comments, about you, in person, or online. When that happened you started to question what was funny. Now you analyze each joke and deem whether it's funny or not before you'll say it. If that's the case, break it down into numbers. Count how many, or recall, then number of criticisms you got before it had an effect on you. Take that number, multiple it by 100, and add a zero..or two. That is the number of people who like you, like who you are, and think you are funny. Now, 99% of those people you'll never hear from. They don't consider paying you a compliment, either on line or in person, because either they're A) shy or B) just don't think about it.(…don't you hate people who who feel the need to say things grouped by letters…cocksuckers). Think about that, Alison. That's a huge number of people that like you. A far greater number than those few that don't like you. I'm sure there would even be a large subset of that group that would openly defend against those criticisms. This is the truth, breathe it in and breathe out the negative. Try not to hyperventilate. Whatever happened to hyperventilation? I don't feel like people do it anymore. Perhaps it's because everyone knows the paper bag trick.

    No. I didn't read this stuff from a self help book or have airy fairy beliefs. It's just the ramblings of someone who is stoned…so put that in your pipe and smoke it. Wait, I did. hardy-har-hare. That's daffy duck. Way before your time sweetheart. 

    If the bullshit I said above is way off the mark, then try these on for size. 

    – Adam had a “talk” with you, asking you to get back to being funny or your days are numbered. Like a move Johnny Carson would pull…way before your time sweetheart. Wiki him, or ephone him, whatever you kids call talking these days. Anyway, I don't buy this one at all. I imagine Adam really does get tired of talking and hired two funny people to give him a break sometimes.  He seems to go on longer jags these days, so I'm thinking he's been coming in buzzed more often. If he has been, he's still funny but doesn't come up with the creative or super imaginitive things he does when he's sober. He'll get it back. Plus it's hard getting in a word edgewise..ahh here we go, next scenario.

    – Adam's been buzzed, more irritated or tired lately from overwork, which is causing him to go on nonstop jags more often, so you can't get a word in edgewise. If that's the case, just butt in, he really doesn't give a shit and appreciates it, especially if it's creative and relevant to what he's talking about 

    – Or last, but not, in no way or fashion, least, you are having some personal problems and Adam is giving you space to work through that. My first thought is you mentioned dating someone. It's always weird and at times uncomfortable dating someone new. Or, your toilet story, which was very funny by the way, was one way for you to make light of the fact that you want to either a)get out of this relationship or b) are disappointed or frustrated that you can't read what the guy is thinking (like, was he REALLY ok with me clogging his toilet?). If the relationship is bad, move on, do it right away. You'll breathe a sigh of relief. If it's over already, great, you can move on and drop the stress which is stifling you.
    Ok, so there you go. I'm long winded out. If anything I've said in this post is accurate, you're welcome. Feel free put some cash in my paypal account. I know you superstars piss money. Literally. No really, literally piss(pause for comic effect), money. (Adam joke here)
    If this didn't help, sorry to waste a few minutes of your time. Time that you'll NEVER get back by the way. I had fun writing this..There he goes again, talking about himself. What a flaming turd..literally. No, I mean a real (pause) flaming turd. 

    Love you! Mean it! (in sing-songy voice). Keep up the great work.

    …ok, that's not my nickname, but if I was an MMA fighter, that would be my moniker. How baddass would that be? “and in this corner, we have(pause for dramatic effect), ppiicckkles!!!!”

    p.s. I believe you said you were an english major. I'm a IT tech guy, so I don't put much time into writing or thinking about grammar. So do I use commas too much? I feel like I do.

    Hi Alison,
    I just had to role over in my bed to my tummy so I could type out this comment with two hands! (I'm a total couch potato.) Anyway, hey we totally respect the fact that you need to be cautious with a new relationship, so as your fans we can respect that. But on the other hand we still love your voyeuristic ways!
    On another unrelated note, just want to say Love, Love, Love all your witty pop cultural, mashup comments on the podcast.  Subconsciously Adam and Bryan are picking up on them and using them as take off points for the comedy. Hearing your baby book excerpts along with all your journalistic experience, you are truly a good and talented writer.

    So keep it up, we love you on the podcast.

    Peace out…
    -40…. 🙂
