Soul Sweatshirts, Under-Desk Hammocks, Daniel’s Eye-Doctor Girlfriend

By Alison Rosen on September 14, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Jenna, Al and Jeff are here to witness Daniel’s sunglasses which he claims are because he got his eyes dilated and not because he’s trying to be cool. Still raw from when he cheated on me in a dream with the eye doctor/professor, I need some details. Also, I’m wearing the hoodie he hates and Jenna gets it in a big way. So does Al. Jenna and Al recently guarded their new patio from deer in a creative and some might say insane way. Also, Jenna has a show coming up this weekend where she’ll be taping her next special in Chandler, Arizona and we have a discount code for you. It’s JENNA50 at Ticketmaster (search Jenna Kim Jones). Plus, can you pull your kid out of school if you have a decent reason or not? I need to know how this works.

Canadian Passive-Aggressiveness, Extreme Cheese, The Perfect Salesman

By Alison Rosen on September 7, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Andrew Hunt has returned with stories of cheese I never want to try and also how to know if you’ve run afoul of someone from Canada. It has to do with the number of times they say fine! Renee Colvert has emerged from her long seclusion and we couldn’t be more delighted. Jeff Fox is here and so is Daniel and we’re doing Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze. Daniel and I encountered the most perfect salesman. We’re impressed and frightened. But also soothed and comforted! Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

By Alison Rosen on August 28, 2022 in podcast

Bald Bryan Bishop (Adam Carolla Show, Film Vault, Shrinkage: Marriage, Manhood and the Tumor that Tried to Kill Me) returns to the show to update us on his battle with brain cancer, give me crap for trying to discuss our kids when I have a whole podcast supposedly devoted to that which I do with Greg Fitzsimmons (but we still talked about them), to discuss Tessa’s future as a potential architect, ADHD, people who stretch out words, his upcoming documentary, being unable to put on weight, my footwear and so much more. We also did Just Me Or Everyone, HGFY and reminisced.

Shower Buckets, Spencer’s Gifts, Sexy Reptiles

By Alison Rosen on August 24, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

There’s so much going on in this episode with Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger I don’t know if I can even accurately describe it but I will try. Because of the drought Daniel and I are now bathing with a bucket in the shower to catch our run off. It sucks but allows us to feel virtuous. Also because of the drought Wendy and Daniel’s affair has taken a hit and Wendy has been visited by Gavin Newsom but it’s more complicated than that. Shuffling comes up because of course it does and I listened to the Best Friends Fancast! Plus reptiles and Topic Sombrero!

The Burbank Snake, The Pillow Reveal, The Rosen Bump!

By Alison Rosen on August 17, 2022 in podcast, Uncategorized

Halfway through this podcast I found out there was an uninvited slithery guest in a bush outside our house and I valiantly continued even though I wanted to pack my bags and never return! Jordan Morris, Lizzy Cooperman, Daniel Quantz and Tony Thaxton witnessed the whole thing. We also discussed the Rosen bump, Lizzy’s podcast where she lets her listeners decide her fate (Jordan and I were guests on Lizzy Cooperman’s In Your Hands and needed an update), Steve Harvey, Elliot’s first day, my second act, salt lamps, an amazing pillow reveal and more. Plus some JMOES and HGFY!
