By Alison Rosen on August 22, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

John Ross Bowie (Big Bang Theory, Speechless, a million other things you’ve seen) joins the show to talk about his new podcast Household Faces with John Ross Bowie where he interviews fellow character actors. We also talk about whether he or Tony Thaxton is nicer, nearly getting punched by a student when he taught high school, his frustration with “Fred,” parenting during the pandemic, improv games, his midlife crisis, how he came to have peace with his career, punk rock, my bizarre new ability to feel joy, and so much more including Just Mr Or Everyone.

Caissie and Josh’s Duckpin Bowling, Jeff’s Salt Flats, Daniel’s CVS Beef

By Alison Rosen on August 18, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Josh Gondelman has joined us from three hours in the future and he didn’t even fall asleep while waiting for the show to start. Probably from all the cocaine he famously snorts. Caissie St. Onge is here as well and she would like to cede her time to Josh and this whole drug situation. Jeff Fox is filling in for Tony and he’s fresh from the salt flats where he saw a car go 475 mph. Daniel has a CVS beef and I want to talk about White Lotus. Plus more guessing people’s favorite pasta shapes and Just Me Or Everyone.

LeeAnn Kreischer

By Alison Rosen on August 15, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Writer, mother and host of Wife of the Party, LeeAnn Kreischer has always struck me as very wise and self-actualized. Turns out she really is! We talk about her incredibly challenging childhood, her desire to be happy, growing up with a borderline mother, meeting her husband Bert Kreischer, a little something called “Bert Mode,” the effect of Bert’s success on her marriage, realizing she preferred writing to acting, recurring fights, her years in New York, postpartum depression and rage and so much more. We also answered your questions and did a Just Me Or Everyone involving couch maintenance.

Jackie Johnson’s Tomatoes, Helen Hong’s Phone Call, Tony’s Commando Toes

By Alison Rosen on August 11, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Helen Hong is here and she hates beans but loves her infant nephew despite his exhausting helplessness. Jackie Johnson is here and she needs advice on how to handle tomato theft. Daniel has a creative solution which leads to me wondering if Italian people really pronounce “sauce” the way Daniel insists they do. Plus Tony Thaxton’s toes are occasionally going commando and I am cheating on my eye exams. Plus cotton candy grapes and some glitches in the matrix.

Jamie Loftus

By Alison Rosen on August 1, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Comic, writer, podcast host and artist Jamie Loftus (My Year in Mensa, Lolita Podcast, Aack Cast, Bechdel Cast) joins us to talk about how stunt journalism led to finding her niche as a podcaster, the decision to switch from writing about her experience as a “dumb slut” who infiltrated Mensa to releasing it as a show, making the Lolita Podcast during the pandemic, wanting to do something lighter for her next project which was Aack Cast where she reconsiders Cathy comics, feminism, scoliosis, eating dog food, butt chugging milk, Dunkin Donuts specialty items, Judy Blume’s Deenie, hot dogs and so much more. We also took your questions.
