Greg Heller Is Back!

By Alison Rosen on October 24, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Producer and writer Greg Heller returns to tell me about the podcast he claims is going to crush mine. He’s been saying this for months now and sending me gifs of cans getting crushed. It’s called Close to Death and debuts Oct 27. Greg hosts the first and last episodes of the six episode series, each of which explores an aspect of death. We talk about writing his own obituary with the help of a famed obit writer who didn’t exactly love Greg, staging his own funeral with a death doula, parenthood, losing his dongle, hacky jokes, tentacle pr0n, finding a dead body on the beach when he was a kid, lobsters, things that annoy him, cooking, feeling desensitized to death, show running and so much more. We also took your questions and did a round of Hey Go Fuck Yourself.

Dave Huntsberger’s Nuppy, Sara Schaefer’s HaHa Hole, Chef Jeff’s Gum

By Alison Rosen on September 29, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Dave Huntsberger is here, fresh from dealing with madness in the mountains! Sara Schaefer is also here and she just hosted a very tiny comedy night in her miniature comedy club. Once again I endeavor to figure out what kind of scat I’m finding around the studio and Daniel once nearly got in a fight over loogies. Chef Jeff is here with a JMOE that has the potential to make Sara rock back and forth. And a story about a fiddler crab! And we do our new segment: Do You Remember This Dude?

Mary Lynn’s Jetsetting, Dave’s Jetta-Setting, Do You Remember This Dude?

By Alison Rosen on September 22, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

International superstar and my real life friend Mary Lynn Rajskub makes her Thursday show debut and Dave Huntsberger is quick to point out that he is also my friend and yet I just glossed right over that. Daniel and I are hot to talk about LuLaRich—the documentary about MLM LuLaRoe—and we all share our own experiences with multi level marketing companies. Mary Lynn’s neighbor rides a one wheel. Could there be a love connection? Plus tracing old possessions, writing on money, dog farts again, iTunes Comments of the Week, Just Me Or Everyone and a new segment: Do You Remember This Dude?
