Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Latest Episodes:

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Alison's Tears) Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

After an arduous chunk of time trying to get everything set up for video, a process I find extremely annoying, Daniel and I sit down to record a show and I begin crying in the first eight minutes. I have never done this. It wasn't really about the video. Also we took your calls about made-up games and egg nog. A shocking number of you are anti-nog and while I am shocked Daniel is shocked with a capital SH. I think he's angry. And disappointed. I force him to play something called "The Rhyming Game," and also we talk about our recent Disneyland outing. Plus more including a deep dive debrief of the dating stuff on this week's Thursday show since someone said Daniel was an "angel" for sitting through that and I needed to know how he truly felt about it. Plus more!

Alison's Mortifying Emails, Life After Late Night, Two Toilet Rich Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

Josh Gondelman is here and he's still plagued by this pernicious cocaine rumor. Daniel Quantz isn't helping matters. Also joining us is Miles Kahn who used to work at The Daily Show and then Samantha Bee and not only is he the person responsible for bringing Jenna Kim Jones to the show but also he once cut my hair on air and went on a couple casual dates with me years ago. We dig into our sordid history including a reading of some emails and it's extremely mortifying. Miles comes off fine. Plus Big Al, being rich enough to have two toilets, talking yourself into going to an event only to regret the effort, intellectual property, landlords, and more.

Anthony Bowens Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

Anthony Bowens is one half of the hugely popular wrestling tag team The Acclaimed and he's also AEW's first openly gay world champion. Additionally he's an actor and model who has a steadily climbing YouTube channel, Michael & Anthony, with his boyfriend Michael Pavano. He stopped by the show to talk about National Scissoring Day, protecting his voice, going from playing baseball in college to wrestling, working with Max Castor, turning down an offer from WWE to join AEW, auditioning for AEW, coming out, meeting his boyfriend, catchphrases, birthmarks, his relationship with his parents, breakfast, intermittent fasting, collecting toys, Power Rangers, traveling and more. We also answered your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

Stuffed Stockings, Waiting Tables, Shiny Wrestlers Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Are your Xmas stockings filled with nail clippers and lottery tickets or unshelled walnuts and oranges? Apparently these are the only options unless you're in Canada—where RJ City may or may not live—where stockings are filled with feet because it snows. Also, do you think cavemen got manicures? Robin Shorr, fresh from nearly joining a cult, regales us with a story of choosing the wrong sketch to share with a writer's room and Daniel and I are worried our son has chosen darkness. Plus tales of waiting tables, working an omelette bar, one way flirting, breaking up fights, communication conspiracy theories and I ask the question on everyone's mind: why are wrestlers so shiny?

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Bread Pudding Postmortem!) Nov 28, 2022

Show notes

Daniel and I have gotten together one day after Thanksgiving and we're doing something we don't normally do: attempting to record ourselves on video too. It's all very fancy. We listen to your calls and recount Daniel's big push into bread pudding. Plus Elliot's somewhat alarming gratitude list offering, siblings who are extremely honest, a discourse discord, TGIBF and more.

Quirky Canadian Roommates, Daniel's Wet Bread, Bath Mat Chat Nov 24, 2022

Show notes

Canada's own Andrew Hunt returns to the show and joining him is Amanda Brooke Perrin whom I know as one of frequent guest Renee Colvert's good friends but get this... turns out she and Andrew are former roommates. How small is Canada? Naturally we talk about Andrew accidentally stealing her date's shoes, figgy pudding, the bugs in their apartment, Flo Zone's serious food allergies, Daniel's wet bread campaign, upsetting pizza ingredients, Andrew's insane cooking and more.

Lizzy Cooperman has joined us and she's finally divulging the true story behind the pillow reveal of the her last appearance. A pillow reveal reveal! Plus a Jordan Morris bolo tie update!

Joel Stein Is Back! Nov 14, 2022

Show notes

Journalist and author Joel Stein (Time, Los Angeles Times) is back and he's entered the world of podcasting with Story of the Week. I want to know why the world needs his podcast and he makes a pretty compelling case. Plus we talk about pubic grooming, whether I could have been a meteorologist, interviewing Clooney for AARP magazine, his stealing of my notepad and my insulting lack of notes, theme songs, flat head syndrome, my personality, other worldly diarrhea, magazines, pitching shows, Nordic larping, reading habits, my unfair outburst at Joel and so much more.

Wake Windows, Skin Cancer, Jackie's Doodie Particles Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Jackie Johnson is here with another exclusive story and oh boy this one is amazing and involves poop particles! Caroline Moss makes her in person Thursday show debut and we love her! She might be immune to Covid and her sleeping schedule is somewhat insane. I need to ask the skin and shopping gurus a question and Daniel and Tony don't understand large swaths of the conversation. Plus what might be the best true crime story I've ever heard and so much more!
