Your Calls And Alison’s Recurring ACS Dream

By Alison Rosen on December 20, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

It’s the second to last Monday show of 2020 and we take listener calls running the gamut from Joy, a healthcare worker who is having a tough time and questioning her faith, to Lisa, a listener who may have found her soulmate on Tinder. Alison’s been having a recurring Adam Carolla Show dream and Daniel has plans to get even more addicted to a number of things in 2021. Plus Vanderpump Rules and other TV Talk, Daniel’s corner of Alison’s Amazon Store, the problem with having gifts delivered when you have kids, Daniel’s Kewl Beanz resistance, a nanny update and more.

Jackie’s Squirrel Poop, Tim’s Stock Photos, Cake or Pie?

By Alison Rosen on December 16, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

You think we aren’t going to delve into controversial and hard-hitting topics like cake versus pie? You’re wrong, but first we have a lot of other stuff to get through like the shape of giraffe poop, squirrel poop, Jackie Johnson’s new living situation, Tim Kalpakis’s love of stock photos (man who doesn’t enjoy his corn dog, anyone?), Tony’s holiday decorations and so much more. Plus one update from Alison that’s sad and another that’s pathetic. The pathetic one involves Vanderpump Rules. Also HGFY and JMOE and more!

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Daniel’s New Girlfriend!)

By Alison Rosen on November 29, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

What’s that saying about how if you can make yourself burp, you’ll never be alone? Daniel and I discuss whether this is true and also Daniel explains whether or not he thinks I have “it.” What is a foam party? Am I experiencing compassion fatigue or just slowly turning into a psychopath? Plus we took your calls, did Deleted Tweets and HGFY, discussed a news story, I challenged Daniel to give me one GD compliment and we talked about how Daniel will be leaving me for the woman from Queen’s Gambit.
