Tony’s Big News, Renee’s New Show, Whale Watching… Exposed!

By Alison Rosen on January 20, 2021 in podcast

Ken Reid and Renee Colvert are here and Tony has news! Also if your dog were left alone in a car with a cake in a box, would they eat it? I share about the best day of Wendy’s life and for the second week in a row we try to name an animal. Also, what’s the right way to deal with “how are you?” these days? And has anyone had a positive whale watching experience? Ken’s dad has never heard of coconut cream pie which is surprising and Renee has a new podcast. Also I’ve been hiding an impression all these years. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and more!

Jackie’s Wedding Dilemma, Helen’s Prank Calls, A Passive-Aggressive Candle!

By Alison Rosen on January 13, 2021 in podcast

Helen Hong is back and her fingers are itching to dial some numbers! Also, she recently lost her sweet dog in the mountains for hours and it was scary! Plus there’s a mouse in her house and it might be a Penelope or it might be a Belinda or it might be gender neutral. Jackie Johnson is here and she’s in the midst of a tough decision. Tougher even than discerning the mouse’s name! Also she’s appropriately misted and scented for the occasion and we try to guess the notes in her favorite candle. I might have stumbled upon a great dream tweet and Daniel nearly killed me while singing a song from Frozen 2. And we remember Neil Mahoney.

Michael Buckley

By Alison Rosen on January 10, 2021 in podcast

Jeff Fox’s Fancy Suit, Jenna and Al’s Air Fryer Mishaps, Greg’s Fish Eggs

By Alison Rosen on January 6, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

The old gang is back together! Jeff Fox has dressed up for the occasion! Jenna and Al are here and they’re still in love with their RV. Also, their air fryer. Have you ever had THE PERFECT TATER TOT? I haven’t but I do have a new bidet and a lot to say about it. I’m also wondering how to handle a dirty no good liar who happens to be three. And I have some questions about Real Housewives of SLC! Tony’s dismantled his holiday mantle and has lithe thighs that don’t touch the bidet control box. Jeff has complicated feelings about Masked Singer promos and Greg Heller drops by to say hi.

Alison’s Petty, Cranky, Wordy Mood and Your Calls! (Plus a look back!)

By Alison Rosen on December 27, 2020 in podcast

This episode was supposed to include Daniel AND an installment of Daniel’s Kewl Beanz but things went sideways so instead you’re just getting me and my cranky mood plus some wonderfully honest listener calls. It’s a high pressure situation! I am still ruminating over this nanny situation and also I think I had a breakthrough regarding the recurring dream discussed last week. Daniel and I are both overly affected by the moods of everyone around us and I’m still processing this year. I bet you are too. I take a look back at the craziness that was 2020 and give a little glimpse of some guests coming up in 2021. Thank you all for being a bright spot this year!
