By Alison Rosen on February 26, 2023 in podcast, Uncategorized

Daniel and I practically swam from the house to studio, battling the elements, to bring you this show. We talk about regional mispronunciations, attempts to “get” opera, whether I truly drink coffee too loudly as was alleged recently, Daniel’s refusal to yawn more quietly, unthreatening school mascots, in-office teeth whitening, the IPL laser thingie I just did, Daniel’s childhood Swatch collection and so much more. We also took your calls!

Gate-Keeping, Guest Bathroom Etiquette, Owen’s Birthday

By Alison Rosen on February 22, 2023 in podcast, Uncategorized

RJ City has returned and I need to talk about something I overheard when he used the guest bathroom at my house last month. Also he refuses to tell me the plot of a movie I’m not going to watch. Ken Reid is also here and he was once slapped because a parrot wolf-whistled and he got blamed. Plus Daniel and I are barely functioning because our son, who is having a birthday, no longer sleeps. Is it because newspapers are delivered at four in the morning. Everyone rudely shuts down my theory. We also do a round of Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze which leads to the greatest and most important ricotta question of our time. And I realize I’ve possibly been depriving my guests of the release they need from HGFY. We also talk about mortality. And an adoptable dog named Jackson!

Dalton Castle

By Alison Rosen on February 12, 2023 in podcast, Uncategorized

Pro wrestler Dalton Castle has been a guest on the Thursday group version of my show numerous times but I felt like I needed a one-on-on-plus-Tony to really get to the core of what makes him the enviable weirdo he is. We talked about Punxsatawney Phil, worrying, how he maintains a positive outlook even when things are going awry, head shops, Jimmy Pardo, growing up in Rochester with three siblings, getting beat up by his brothers, cutting/making weight AKA “seasonal bulimia,” amateur vs professional wrestling, what him mom thinks of his career, his years in radio, meeting his wife, dislocating his jaw, The Boys, Tommy Dreamer and more. We also answered your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.
