Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Latest Episodes:

Tara Schuster May 01, 2023

Show notes

Author Tara Schuster is on the podcast to talk about Glow In the F*cking Dark, the follow up to the hugely successful Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies. I felt an instant connection with her, which I kinda of suspected I would from her books, but then I sort of think maybe a lot of people do since she's extremely open, vulnerable and bright. That being said there were two moments where I got chills talking to her and she said she felt it too so I think we're really besties? We talk about stuffed animals, emotional neglect, loneliness, writing routines, reparenting oneself, therapy, external validation, working at Comedy Central, being the bartender on Watch What Happens Live with Scheana and Raquel the night #Scandoval broke and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

Joel Stein has returned and we're learning how to speak his language. Robin Shorr is here with a revelation about feet. I've stumbled upon a tongue twister and there's some light talk of true crime, people who travel with the Ren Faire (rennies), Sam the Butcher, Marilyn Kagan, cohabitation sex and more. Plus we revisit the storied "this isn't a sex thing, right?" discussion from a couple weeks prior and do a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

Tim Kalpakis and Jeff Dutton of The Sloppy Boys are here which is good because I need an audience to discuss the weird thing that happened the day before when we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory after The Renaissance Fair!

RJ's Canadian Sex Question, Dalton's Dating History, Alison's Famous Neighbor Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

RJ City, Dalton Castle and Robin Shorr are here in person and nothing is off limits. RJ has a sex question for everyone and it isn't even about the mortifying thing he said to a gal pal at a hotel. That comment was also about sex and Robin and I are still dying a little inside. Did that sentence make sense? Does it make sense that Dalton would occasionally sleep "like a pencil" back in his dating days? And I have a bone to pick with the guys about a little something that happened at the wrestling event I attended the night before. Plus Susan Lucci, RJ's leather pants, RJ's new 'do, Dalton's barfing in my bathroom, sleep bras, platonic naps, Robin's love of logistics, Tony's surveillance photos of me, compliments that move the needle, my famous neighbor and so much more. And a chaotic Owen cameo!

Emily Fleming's Brass Knuckles, Jordan Morris's Food Fears, Daniel's Zagat Review Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

Emily Fleming is here for the first time, fresh from working the door at what I'm pretty sure is a modern-day rave. No one gets my "exchange an egg" reference, not even Jordan Morris who is also here and doesn't have big lunch energy (he's a dinner dude). Daniel and I went to dinner the previous night and a perplexing thing kept happening and I need to talk about it. Was it because of the two tartares? Plus some Good Mythical Morning chat, self-defense, food fears and so much more.
