Dave’s Noise Complaint, Wendy’s Split Banana, Alison’s Slinky Work

By Alison Rosen on March 31, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger are back to witness a visual endeavor that I find very, very artistic and profound but which they refuse to be moved by. Dave is a trifle upset about his image having been released acrost the internet and Wendy is taken aback when I threaten to reveal her college email password. Plus what it means when someone buys ten bananas, ice cream trucks, being held up at cleaver point, Derek del Guadio, Yes Please Or Oh Puhleeze, trading places and more.

Danny Jolles

By Alison Rosen on March 28, 2021 in podcast

Comedian, actor and writer Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girflriend, Ramy) joins the show from the home he’ll need to vacate in a few weeks to talk about his refusal to care about “stuff” and the house fire that probably accounts for this attitude, growing up in Virginia, his new special Six Parts which is streaming for free on YouTube, his friendship with Rachel Bloom, a terrible commercial he was in, working at Adafruit, vicious penguins, school grudges and more. We also did a round of HGFY! Full video on youtube.com/alisonrosen

Josh Gondelman’s S’moreplay, Alicia Tobin’s Nanaimo Bars, The Farmer’s Hello

By Alison Rosen on March 24, 2021 in podcast

Resident Canadian Alicia Tobin is back to disparage a popular chocolate brand and Josh Gondelman who has been on a Monday show makes his Thursday show debut. For someone who gets up at 2am every night to walk and feed his pug, he’s surprisingly chipper. We get to the bottom of Nanaimo bars, spring cleaning, shoes, my heat pad, the Farmer’s Hello, Mandy Patinken and so much more. And we hear a defense of thongs. Plus we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze.

By Alison Rosen on March 17, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Jenna Kim Jones and Allan Moss are back and their family will soon be expanding. How is Allan feeling about Jenna being more emotional? He probably regrets referring to it that way, for one. Chef Jeff is here too and he has advice for Alison about her new obsession: grout cleaning. Tony’s a bit grumpy but you wouldn’t know. Or would you? Plus an update about Daniel’s hair, iTunes Comments of the Week, an email in defense of thongs (what????!?!?!) and Just Me Or Everyone!

Alison’s Overshare, Helen Hong’s Hairlessness, Jackie Johnson’s Manifestation

By Alison Rosen on March 10, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

This one is one long overshare! Helen Hong and Jackie Johnson are here to help me get the stench of failure off myself and Tony offers to “girlcott” us. Meanwhile Helen is basically hairless and Jackie put an offer on a house but doesn’t want to get her hopes up. In a first for the show, we do a manifestation. Plus those letters your realtor advises you to write when you put in an offer, tampons, cups, sex, pierced ears, various hair removal techniques, tight wedding bands and so much more including Just Me Or Everyone.

Jeff’s Hockey Sticks, Jenna and Al’s Laundry Mountain, Thonggate

By Alison Rosen on March 3, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Jenna Kim Jones, Allan Moss and Jeff Fox are here and Jeff’s been washing his clothes in a way that seems unconventional. I had a slip of the tongue with Owen and Daniel has purchased a jug of luxury shampoo. Al hones right in on the desire to reinvent yourself hair first. And then we get into some scandalous controversial territory with a round of Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze. Plus toilet talk, thonggate, and Just Me Or Everyone!
