Show notes

Daniel Quantz returns to the Thursday group on this episode!! Also here are Eric Martin, Renee Colvert and Tony Thaxton! Did Renee manifest this? Do men get beard tans? What about a FULA? Eric has a new book out and Renee has learned you can squish people on Zoom. Daniel and I dig into the headshots on the wall at our new mail facility and we're all embarrassed by our old emails. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and a new jingle!

Ryan Sickler Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

Ryan Sickler is a comedian and podcaster who hosts The Honeydew and before that, The Crabfeast. He was last on the show in 2014, a week after his daughter was born. We caught up and he filled us in on the ways life has been unkind to him since then but how he's learned it's all about perspective. We talked about being a single parent, the months before a rare blood disorder was diagnosed where he thought he had cancer, reconciling with his mom, feeling discarded and passed over, the significance of "honeydew," his Patreon and a lot more including something called defecography. Also his favorite pasta shape. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY and a special appearance of my dog because Ryan wanted to see her. Full video on youtube.com/alisonrosen

Josh Gondelman's Secret Pasta Divination, Helen Hong's Secret Baby, Who is Q? Apr 15, 2021

Show notes

What's your favorite pasta shape and what does it say about you? I didn't plan to host a show exclusively about this but also a little bit about some other stuff but that's what happened! Are you a sturdy spaghetti or a fancy farfalle? And which one of us has been endowed with a divine insight where pasta intuition is concerned? Helen Hong, Josh Gondelman, Jackie Johnson and Tony Thaxton are here to talk noodles. Plus Helen's secret baby, cut crease eyeshadow, Josh's Boston accent, following accounts that annoy you and more!

Your Calls and The Return of Daniel's Kewl Beanz Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

Daniel is back and has to listen to me spout off about how I'm tired of pretending celestial phenomena are mind blowing. A partial solar eclipse? You can barely see it. Is it because, as my parents suggested years ago, I'm a member of the MTV Generation? Also Elliot crashed into my nose and I'm wondering if I should invite some former cult members onto the show. Daniel reveals a kink and offers up another Daniel's Kewl Beanz segment. Plus your calls!

Jordan Morris's New Bungalow, Alison's Online Kerfuffle, Niccole Thurman's Polls Apr 08, 2021

Show notes

Fan favorite Jordan Morris is back and he's moved to a bungalow! Will his friends still hang out with him now that he's no longer in the center of town? Niccole Thurman joins us for the first time and she's audition-fresh. She's also tired of all of you not returning texts. After basically giving a TED talk on how to let online negativity roll off, I'm consumed by some ridiculous online drama that's still bothering me. Plus we try to guess what foods a not-so-young Tony Thaxton wouldn't eat. And we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

Dave's Noise Complaint, Wendy's Split Banana, Alison's Slinky Work Apr 01, 2021

Show notes

Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger are back to witness a visual endeavor that I find very, very artistic and profound but which they refuse to be moved by. Dave is a trifle upset about his image having been released acrost the internet and Wendy is taken aback when I threaten to reveal her college email password. Plus what it means when someone buys ten bananas, ice cream trucks, being held up at cleaver point, Derek del Guadio, Yes Please Or Oh Puhleeze, trading places and more.

Danny Jolles Mar 29, 2021

Show notes

Comedian, actor and writer Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girflriend, Ramy) joins the show from the home he'll need to vacate in a few weeks to talk about his refusal to care about "stuff" and the house fire that probably accounts for this attitude, growing up in Virginia, his new special Six Parts which is streaming for free on YouTube, his friendship with Rachel Bloom, a terrible commercial he was in, working at Adafruit, vicious penguins, school grudges and more. We also did a round of HGFY! Full video on youtube.com/alisonrosen
