Nick and Mitch from The Doughboys are here! Nick recently went shopping! Mitch did a keg stand! I'm still upset about my Lyft score and I have more info to share. Daniel's connection isn't ideal and I'm concerned for goldfish in bowls in people's abandoned offices. Mitch has a story which doesn't make me feel any better. Plus how do we feel about Monte Cristo sandwiches? Also, sushi awareness and Just Me Or Everyone.

Mary Katharine Ham Is Back! May 24, 2021

Show notes

Mary Katharine Ham—author and political commentator (currently with CNN, formerly with Fox News)—points out on this episode that she usually comes on my show during big life transitions. This time is no exception. The last time she was on she had just gotten engaged and now she's pregnant. As with her previous two pregnancies, she has hyperemesis gravidarum and is VERY sick. We discuss all the barfing, insects, pregnancy dreams about her late husband Jake Brewer, her crazy morning, how she's feeling about having an infant again, how her daughters are feeling about getting a sibling, her new pup, baby names, learning to do her own makeup for her wedding, writing, catching her hand in her garbage disposal, her favorite Southern foods and so much more. We also answered your questions, and did a round of HGFY and Just Me Or Everyone. Full video at youtube.com/alisonrosen.

Niccole's Self-Tapes, Jackie's Possums, Daniel's Vanderpumping May 20, 2021

Show notes

Niccole Thurman is back and she's tired of being her own film crew. Jackie Johnson is here with an important question about possums and opossums. Daniel has ripped himself away from the Vanderpump message boards long enough to join us. I'm wondering how everyone handles speaking up for themselves and also, I need to amend my previous cobbler thoughts. Plus Just Me Or Everyone!

Betsy Sodaro's California Raisins, Jordan Morris's Cobblers, Alison's Deadly Fruits May 13, 2021

Show notes

Betsy Sodaro joins us for the first time and she shares Tony's passion for the The California Raisins! Also, she's working on not letting things that are out of her control bother her so much. I had another cheesy, vulnerable and embarrassing epiphany and Jordan Morris is here to share his Mother's Day reaction and to talk breakfast burritos. Where do we all come down on deadly fruits? What about cobbler? Also we discuss where at Disneyland we'd want our remains scattered and Daniel gives us an update on his Sad George Lucas action figure. Also should he professionalize his intros? Plus some Just Me Or Everyone.

Daniel's Beach Calendar, Wendy's Counter Protest, Dave's Clown Method May 06, 2021

Show notes

Wendy Molyneux is here and she and her kids drove by a mask protest and had a few choice things to say. Dave Huntsberger is also here as the lone living representative of the clown method. Daniel beams in from a beach to talk about his calendar. I've had an epiphany about feeling like an opportunity has passed you by and also I mix up the lyrics to Jambalaya and Shoofly Pie. Even writing this now I feel they should be the same song. Tony is freshly shorn and Wendy recounts some awful things doctors have said to her regarding weight. I discuss feeling judged as well. We talk about body positivity and its challenges and also do a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

Daniel and Alison (Daniel's Baby Names and The Return of Fan Phone Call!) May 03, 2021

Show notes

It's heating up which means Daniel and I are miserable. We are not summer people! For Alison, the heat triggers some specific memories. A listener calls from the ER where he may have a blood clot, but not a serious one. We have questions so we get him on the line. Also, the mom's group continues to be AWFUL. Plus another installment of Daniel's bespoke baby names, some kewl beanz discussion, an exploration of Daniel's ex and more voicemails!
