Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Jackie Johnson's Tomatoes, Helen Hong's Phone Call, Tony's Commando Toes Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

Helen Hong is here and she hates beans but loves her infant nephew despite his exhausting helplessness. Jackie Johnson is here and she needs advice on how to handle tomato theft. Daniel has a creative solution which leads to me wondering if Italian people really pronounce "sauce" the way Daniel insists they do. Plus Tony Thaxton's toes are occasionally going commando and I am cheating on my eye exams. Plus cotton candy grapes and some glitches in the matrix.

Jamie Loftus Aug 02, 2021

Show notes

Comic, writer, podcast host and artist Jamie Loftus (My Year in Mensa, Lolita Podcast, Aack Cast, Bechdel Cast) joins us to talk about how stunt journalism led to finding her niche as a podcaster, the decision to switch from writing about her experience as a "dumb slut" who infiltrated Mensa to releasing it as a show, making the Lolita Podcast during the pandemic, wanting to do something lighter for her next project which was Aack Cast where she reconsiders Cathy comics, feminism, scoliosis, eating dog food, butt chugging milk, Dunkin Donuts specialty items, Judy Blume's Deenie, hot dogs and so much more. We also took your questions.

Jenna and Al's Budget, Jeff's Court Case, Daniel's Tear Ducts Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Jenna Kim Jones and #AL are here and Jenna is due in 3.5 weeks! Jeff Fox is here, but disguised, and he's still riding high from his labor intensive but successful court victory. Daniel is fresh from the eye doctor and they put plugs in his tear ducts. It makes me want to barf. Tony relates to Daniel's duct struggle. Also, we do a drop-off with Betsy Sodaro and Greg Heller drops. I want to know if everyone has a budget and how detailed it should be. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and so much more.
