Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Latest Episodes:

Daniel and Alison (Your Calls, Daniel's Game of Seduction) Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

This one is a doozy! We take your calls about annoying things our partners do, discuss shoulder pads in a can and 80s commercials, Daniel's brief bad energy, specific ways to beg when we were children (pretty please with a cherry on top, etc) and then try to name all the famous people named Rod we can think of. There are just so few! This barely scratches the surface of topics discussed on this one and also I reveal some pretty deeply vulnerable insecurities about how Daniel and I met and I'm still surprised I shared it all. Plus Daniel's Game of Seduction. Enjoy!

Daniel and Alison (Daniel's Kewl Beanz, Alison's Dream Tattoo) Oct 31, 2022

Show notes

If you can make it past a pretty trying thirteen minutes of Alison and Daniel arguing about whether Daniel is a baby when he's sick, you will be rewarded with a fairly frictionless show about Alison being sick, dream tattoos, costumes, your calls, the nightmare that's our spooky amusement park ride of a house, Mary Katharine Ham (she was a recent Patreon Friend Zone guest), Dunkin' Donuts, an email from an upcoming guest and that I need your help with and more!

Show notes

Niccole Thurman is here in person for the first time and she's fresh from the wedding of the century! Jordan Morris is also here and he's fresh from Van Nuys where he was shopping for bolo ties. Did he purchase the most amazing but also expensive one you need to hear about to believe? Also wasn't there a Vanna White video? Am I losing my mind. Plus a swimming acquired fungus, Jordan's passion for texture, some heated words about salt water taffy, my innocent transformation into a grandmother except I refused to let it happen, old people candy, The Super Bowl Shuffle, Halloween and so much more.

Black Toilets, Wrenching On Cars, Date Nights! Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

Wendy Molyneux is here and she does not like black toilets. In fact she likens my love of fancy shuffling to a black toilet in that it's a deal breaker. This is a gross simplification of an elegant and complex interpersonal dynamic but you get the gist. David Huntsberger is here and his new podcast Intercepts, on which I play a woman who is obsessed with fancy card shuffling for a few sketches, launches this week. Wendy would love if we would never talk about it. We also discuss wrenching and date nights even though we hate that term. Also urinals and Club 33!

Audience Pops, One-Star Reviews, Can Alison Name The Planets? Oct 06, 2022

Show notes

Dalton Castle, RJ City, Tony Thaxton and Daniel Quantz are here for a very fun episode wherein not only do we see who knows Dalton best but somehow, and I still don't quite know BUT I HAVE SOME THEORIES, we also find out just how little I know regarding the order of the planets and the names of the Great Lakes. I did not sign off on this. I did not start hosting a show so I could be quizzed like this. Also we talk about Carvel turkey cakes, Daniel's existential questions for five year olds, my plans to hand the show to Tony, RJ's dad's sweet comments, ring names, wrestling lingo, a guy who is loosely connected to space who's taken an interest in Dalton's wife and more.
