Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Latest Episodes:

Jackie Johnson's Wedding Dilemma, Helen Hong's Prank Calls, A Passive-Aggressive Candle! Jan 14, 2021

Show notes

Helen Hong is back and her fingers are itching to dial some numbers! Also, she recently lost her sweet dog in the mountains for hours and it was scary! Plus there's a mouse in her house and it might be a Penelope or it might be a Belinda or it might be gender neutral. Jackie Johnson is here and she's in the midst of a tough decision. Tougher even than discerning the mouse's name! Also she's appropriately misted and scented for the occasion and we try to guess the notes in her favorite candle. I might have stumbled upon a great dream tweet and Daniel nearly killed me while singing a song from Frozen 2. And we remember Neil Mahoney.

Michael Buckley Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Michael Buckley experienced tremendous popularity and success in the early days of Youtube with his pop culture and celebrity show What the Buck. He was raking in millions of views and also millions of dollars. He left the world of content creation behind though and is now living in Denver and working as a life coach, although he's the first to poke fun at the label "life coach." We talked about what went into his decision, whether he sabotaged his career and his 13 year marriage, quitting drinking, mantras, post its, dogs, cancel culture, validation, weighted blankets, pansexuality and more. Plus Just Me Or Everyone! Full video at youtube.com/alisonrosen

Jeff Fox's Fancy Suit, Jenna and Al's Air Fryer Mishaps, Greg's Fish Eggs Jan 07, 2021

Show notes

The old gang is back together! Jeff Fox has dressed up for the occasion! Jenna and Al are here and they're still in love with their RV. Also, their air fryer. Have you ever had THE PERFECT TATER TOT? I haven't but I do have a new bidet and a lot to say about it. I'm also wondering how to handle a dirty no good liar who happens to be three. And I have some questions about Real Housewives of SLC! Tony's dismantled his holiday mantle and has lithe thighs that don't touch the bidet control box. Jeff has complicated feelings about Masked Singer promos and Greg Heller drops by to say hi.

Paul Rust's Big Secret, Michael Cassady's Strip Club Story, Alison's Sidebar Sister's Salad Bar Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

It's the last episode of 2020 and we're going out with a bang! Paul Rust (Don't Stop Or We'll Die, Love, The Great North) is here and he's royalty. Michael Cassady, his bandmate in Don't Stop Or We'll Die and cohost of the new Song-a-Week podcast is here to bring a touch of class. Everyone apparently looooooooved high school except me but that's fine because I'm busy making Tony find bubbling sound effects for our new segment. Also, will we be featured in 50 Under 50? Plus HGFY! Happy New Year!

Alison's Petty, Cranky, Wordy Mood and Your Calls! (Plus a look back!) Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

This episode was supposed to include Daniel AND an installment of Daniel's Kewl Beanz but things went sideways so instead you're just getting me and my cranky mood plus some wonderfully honest listener calls. It's a high pressure situation! I am still ruminating over this nanny situation and also I think I had a breakthrough regarding the recurring dream discussed last week. Daniel and I are both overly affected by the moods of everyone around us and I'm still processing this year. I bet you are too. I take a look back at the craziness that was 2020 and give a little glimpse of some guests coming up in 2021. Thank you all for being a bright spot this year!

Wendy's Teapot, Dave's Holiday Home, Alison's Wet Milk Dec 24, 2020

Show notes

Tony's festive background has us all feeling bad about our own so Wendy Molyneux has done some quick decorating and Dave Huntsberger has stolen away to his familial holiday home. Is any nog as good as Wendy's friend Brent's mom's nog? And why does everyone refuse to offer a screaming hot take? Plus the beds we all sleep in, Dave's bean bags, my curation of Daniel's products, meat tubes, wet versus dry milk, Santa's size relative to elves and humans, Modern Santa class, Santa's sexuality, things Tony (or anyone) shouldn't say on a first date, HFGY and more!

Your Calls And Alison's Recurring ACS Dream Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

It's the second to last Monday show of 2020 and we take listener calls running the gamut from Joy, a healthcare worker who is having a tough time and questioning her faith, to Lisa, a listener who may have found her soulmate on Tinder. Alison's been having a recurring Adam Carolla Show dream and Daniel has plans to get even more addicted to a number of things in 2021. Plus Vanderpump Rules and other TV Talk, Daniel's corner of Alison's Amazon Store, the problem with having gifts delivered when you have kids, Daniel's Kewl Beanz resistance, a nanny update and more.

Jackie's Squirrel Poop, Tim's Stock Photos, Cake or Pie? Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

You think we aren't going to delve into controversial and hard-hitting topics like cake versus pie? You're wrong, but first we have a lot of other stuff to get through like the shape of giraffe poop, squirrel poop, Jackie Johnson's new living situation, Tim Kalpakis's love of stock photos (man who doesn't enjoy his corn dog, anyone?), Tony's holiday decorations and so much more. Plus one update from Alison that's sad and another that's pathetic. The pathetic one involves Vanderpump Rules. Also HGFY and JMOE and more!
