Alison Messes Up, Tony Needs a Name, David Does True Crime

By Alison Rosen on June 19, 2019 in podcast

It’s Tony Thaxton’s first official show as producer and we need a nickname for him. As Daniel points out, we also need to name the new studio. Alison messed up a scheduling thing earlier in the day and feels out of sorts given this is the kind of thing she’s usually good at and about which she rides Daniel. How does everyone remember stuff? David has a system! Also we talk dysfunctional or less-than-functional relationships, Tony’s trip to Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland, Renee and Brene, and so much more including iTunes Comments of the Week.

Greg Nibbles, Tony Gets Ready, Jeff Says Goodbye

By Alison Rosen on June 12, 2019 in podcast

Greg Heller and new producer Tony Thaxton join us to bid adieu to Jeff! Greg shares a startling discovery about a song we all know. I voice my concerns about getting high which I’m going to be doing the following day on Getting Doug with High. Tony talks about his exciting plans and I possibly insult him by referring to his former band as emo. Also a question about wedding attire. Plus we play some messages from friends and fans of the show and try to guess how many drops Jeff has in his unused drops folder.

Gorilla Breakfasts, Humiliating Job Duties, Some Show News

By Alison Rosen on May 29, 2019 in podcast

Alison took Elliot to the zoo and saw something she can’t unsee. But doesn’t want to! Daniel’s Fro-yo Fridays (so-named by this week’s guest Tony Thaxton) involve a humiliating job duty. Renee is an “extreme extrovert” whose depression lifted when she got a full time job. I don’t care for any of that. And Tony Thaxton is here! And we have some show news. Plus more anonymous JMOEs and a question about bread notches.

Canada Calls In, Alison Is Wrong, Daniel Comes Undone

By Alison Rosen on May 15, 2019 in podcast

Daniel’s mix of energy drinks and fatigue finally catches up with him… during the recording of this episode. Alison turns her laser like interviewing skills first on Eric and then on Renee. And we hear from a number of Canadians via voicemail that we’ve been pronouncing Saskatchewan incorrectly. After being schooled, who among us says it the most authentically? Plus the proper way to use a spoon, the days it’s okay to let loose and so much more including more of your racy, anonymous Just Me Or Everyones.
