Jackie’s Jingles, Ken’s Poodles, HGFY (with a twist!)

By Alison Rosen on March 11, 2020 in podcast

Jackie Johnson and Ken Reid are here to make fish puns and help me get to the bottom of an uncomfortable moment that happened during Daniel and my anniversary dinner. Plus we remember some great TV theme songs and Jackie tries to get Tony to sing but Tony refuses to perform. Is this a fireable offense? We do iTunes Comment of the Week and Just Me Or Everyone and bring back HGFY but with a twist! Also some strawberry shortcake and psycho uncles talk.

Alison’s Search for Meaning, David’s New ‘Do, Renee’s Attempted Murder

By Alison Rosen on March 4, 2020 in podcast, Uncategorized

Alison violated a sacred marital code which she never agreed with anyway. David is here and he’s sporting a new short hairdo. But lest you think he’s a short hair newbie, you’re mistaken. Renee doesn’t know how long her arms are which really worked out for the spider on the wall. Tony’s brought some Motion City Soundtrack beer for #SnackChat and Daniel, unrelated, has given up.
