Daniel’s First Appearance on the Podcast!

By Alison Rosen on December 25, 2022 in podcast

After an explanation and a brief chat with Daniel to see what he remembers, we are going back to March of 2014 for Daniel’s very first appearance on the show. Original description: Daniel Quantz (Alison’s brand new husband) stops by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to set the record straight on a few things and talk about how he and Alison met. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone (click here to see the JMOEs from this episode).

Alison’s Chocolate Nap, Jordan’s War on Eggs, Tone Zone’s Xmas Quiz

By Alison Rosen on December 21, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Jordan Morris is here and he’s anti-egg. He claims he isn’t but I know better. There are more winged creatures in my studio and Daniel’s here to save the day. How are we all feeling as we barrel into Christmas? Plus I’m considering adding a robe to the pandemic uniform I’m still rocking and I experience a nap that’s also a personal low. Plus iconic infomercials and important B.O. talk!

Brian Posehn

By Alison Rosen on December 18, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Can you believe actor, comic, writer and podcast host Brian Posehn has never been on my show? I can’t either. We finally caught up to talk about his new special Posehna Non Grata, having an extreme growth spurt when he was 18, egg nog, starting standup, sitcom sets that were welcoming vs ones that weren’t, his experience with the late Kirstie Alley, Mr. Show, his two dogs, new music, fatherhood and more. We also took your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

Tinsel Tossing, Carnal Mushroomers, Giant Wheels of Cheese

By Alison Rosen on December 14, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Dalton Castle has returned to the show to share how it feels to lose a championship belt on TV and also, according to RJ City who is also here, to forget to bring one to a match between the two of them a long time ago. Also if you were hoping Dalton had an update about the astronaut-adjacent guy who is trying to steal his wife, you’ll just have to listen. RJ takes issue with the way I apply tinsel to trees and I have some questions about a casual reference he makes to psychedelics. Once again I am thinking I should have business cards and once again I’m surrounded by people who lack vision. Daniel was pursued by carnal mushroomers and we realize that Dalton and RJ are archetypes. Which are you? Plus more egg nog discussion and Owen’s new interest in giant wheels of cheese.

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Alison’s Tears)

By Alison Rosen on December 11, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

After an arduous chunk of time trying to get everything set up for video, a process I find extremely annoying, Daniel and I sit down to record a show and I begin crying in the first eight minutes. I have never done this. It wasn’t really about the video. Also we took your calls about made-up games and egg nog. A shocking number of you are anti-nog and while I am shocked Daniel is shocked with a capital SH. I think he’s angry. And disappointed. I force him to play something called “The Rhyming Game,” and also we talk about our recent Disneyland outing. Plus more including a deep dive debrief of the dating stuff on this week’s Thursday show since someone said Daniel was an “angel” for sitting through that and I needed to know how he truly felt about it. Plus more!

Alison’s Mortifying Emails, Life After Late Night, Two Toilet Rich

By Alison Rosen on December 7, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Josh Gondelman is here and he’s still plagued by this pernicious cocaine rumor. Daniel Quantz isn’t helping matters. Also joining us is Miles Kahn who used to work at The Daily Show and then Samantha Bee and not only is he the person responsible for bringing Jenna Kim Jones to the show but also he once cut my hair on air and went on a couple casual dates with me years ago. We dig into our sordid history including a reading of some emails and it’s extremely mortifying. Miles comes off fine. Plus Big Al, being rich enough to have two toilets, talking yourself into going to an event only to regret the effort, intellectual property, landlords, and more.

Anthony Bowens is one half of the hugely popular wrestling tag team The Acclaimed and he’s also AEW’s first openly gay world champion. Additionally he’s an actor and model who has a steadily climbing YouTube channel, Michael & Anthony, with his boyfriend Michael Pavano. He stopped by the show to talk about National Scissoring Day, protecting his voice, going from playing baseball in college to wrestling, working with Max Castor, turning down an offer from WWE to join AEW, auditioning for AEW, coming out, meeting his boyfriend, catchphrases, birthmarks, his relationship with his parents, breakfast, intermittent fasting, collecting toys, Power Rangers, traveling and more. We also answered your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

Stuffed Stockings, Waiting Tables, Shiny Wrestlers

By Alison Rosen on November 30, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Are your Xmas stockings filled with nail clippers and lottery tickets or unshelled walnuts and oranges? Apparently these are the only options unless you’re in Canada—where RJ City may or may not live—where stockings are filled with feet because it snows. Also, do you think cavemen got manicures? Robin Shorr, fresh from nearly joining a cult, regales us with a story of choosing the wrong sketch to share with a writer’s room and Daniel and I are worried our son has chosen darkness. Plus tales of waiting tables, working an omelette bar, one way flirting, breaking up fights, communication conspiracy theories and I ask the question on everyone’s mind: why are wrestlers so shiny?

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Bread Pudding Postmortem!)

By Alison Rosen on November 27, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Daniel and I have gotten together one day after Thanksgiving and we’re doing something we don’t normally do: attempting to record ourselves on video too. It’s all very fancy. We listen to your calls and recount Daniel’s big push into bread pudding. Plus Elliot’s somewhat alarming gratitude list offering, siblings who are extremely honest, a discourse discord, TGIBF and more.

Quirky Canadian Roommates, Daniel’s Wet Bread, Bath Mat Chat

By Alison Rosen on November 23, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Canada’s own Andrew Hunt returns to the show and joining him is Amanda Brooke Perrin whom I know as one of frequent guest Renee Colvert’s good friends but get this… turns out she and Andrew are former roommates. How small is Canada? Naturally we talk about Andrew accidentally stealing her date’s shoes, figgy pudding, the bugs in their apartment, Flo Zone’s serious food allergies, Daniel’s wet bread campaign, upsetting pizza ingredients, Andrew’s insane cooking and more.
