Ask Ronna

Latest Episodes:

166 - Brownie à la Mode en Fuego with Erin Gibson May 02, 2023

Show notes

Now wait a minute. It's finally happening. We've taken far too long to get this absolute icon on the show, and it's the crossover episode you've all been waiting for, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than writer, director, comedian, communications minor and (Bryan)'s co-host on ATTITUDES, Erin Gibson!

Erin joins us to give advice on a new relationship that might not be as secure as it seems and how to deal with a friend who may be taking advantage of an employee discount at a luxury Italian brand.

We had an absolute BLAST at this past weekend's AR Social Club Kiki where we all enjoyed an Aviation (a gorgeous cocktail, excuse me). Since yesterday was a holiday, we're giving you all until 11:59pm Eastern time tonight to sign up for the club for May. Believe us when we say you won't want to miss it. It's time to start building those home bars for your summer guests! arsocialclub.com

165 - The Straw That Broke the Camel Toe with Michelle Buteau & Jordan Carlos Apr 25, 2023

Show notes

Two things to start: a) (Bryan) has no business looking as good as he does today and b) Ronna came down with a case of COVID after visiting a Czech zoo. As unfortunate as the latter is, Ronna couldn't possibly miss this week's fabulous guests and she's happy to battle through the sniffles to chat with these two gems. Joining us in The Carriage House are the hosts of the hilarious podcast ADULTING, Michelle Buteau and Jordan Carlos!

Michelle and Jordan help us give advice on an awkward situation of catching coworkers hooking up in the office and whether or not it's creepy for a dog walker to commission a painting of a client's dog who passed away. Plus, we get a follow-up from the Corinthians bride-to-be with a VERY unfortunate twist.

Only one more week to join the AR Social Club for May, and trust us when we say it's going to be a delight! arsocialclub.com

164 - Cult Follower #1 with Special Guest Host Scarlett Curtis Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

Look, we don't know where (Bryan) ran off to. Some say he booked a nice job on TV, others say he's still miffed that Ronna didn't invite him to go to Bavaria with her. But in any event, we found the perfect co-host. Joining us in The Carriage House this week is our dear friend, author, activist, and now in-demand Hollywood writer herself, pardon me, Scarlett Curtis!

Scarlett helps Ronna give advice on losing friends as one ages and dealing with a massage session that got very steamy very fast.

April's AR Social Club cocktail is such a delight you'll kick yourself for missing it if you're not a member. Don't miss out next month! Join before May 1st for an invite to May's Kiki! arsocialclub.com

163 - My Elusive Chanteuse, My Fruity Godmother Apr 11, 2023

Show notes

Now wait a minute. Who's this person on Ronna's screen? Is it...(Bryan)? He looks so different...and dapper, pardon me. Moustache rides for everyone! It's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week as Ronna (& Bryan) get some follow-ups from the "From Israel With Love" writer, the Anxious Doormat with hundreds of dollars of cord damage, and the woman who was less than thrilled about her sister-in-law's guest room situation. They they give advice on dealing with a mother-in-law who wants to read a Bible verse at a non-religious wedding and a man who's thinking of getting Botox...much to his partner's dismay.

No Autographs, Please!: "The Buffet is Open!" w/ Lauren Lapkus Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

Now wait a minute. Ronna's being a little sneaky, but she can't help it. She's thrilled to be able to share a little taste of a brand new and absolutely hysterical podcast called NO AUTOGRAPHS PLEASE, hosted by none other than Arden Myrin and Bryan Safi (ever heard of 'em?). Join them as they talk hot pop culture gossip, world travel tips (like what the best city dump in the country is) and the cruel world of amateur tennis. Then as sexy singles, they take YOUR real dating stories and improvise them with a fabulous special CELEBRITY guest, ending in a reveal of how it actually went down. It's available wherever you get your podcasts and is NOT to be missed, pardon me.

On this episode drop, Arden and Bryan welcome the one and only Lauren Lapkus aka Princess Hollywood! They reveal who's giving No Autrographs Please energy this week including one lady who sent her entire town holiday cards that said "Go to Hell!" So chic! Plus, Arden and Bryan go on a date at the Cheesecake Factory. And did Lauren like this week's peanut butter cake? Too cool! Too much! Too Hollywood!

162 - Seven Degrees of Steel Magnolias with Guest Host Drew Droege Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

Ronna's not here this week, and (Bryan) couldn't be happier...but PLEASE don't tell Ronna, and cross your fingers that she doesn't listen to the episode. Luckily, we've got a guest host this week who couldn't be more delightful if he tried. There aren't enough hyphens in the world to describe this multi-talented man! It's actor, comedian, writer, and director Drew Droege! Be sure to listen to Drew on his upcoming podcast MINOR REVELATIONS.

Drew joins (Bryan) this week to give advice on a marriage with fidelity issues, a 20 year obsession, and a friendship break-up.

161 - Collins Airport of the Aventura Simchas with Michelle Collins Mar 28, 2023

Show notes

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) was kicked out of his hotel in Prague. He doesn't really want to talk about it, even though Ronna is highly amused by the whole thing ("and now we close the circle, Mr. Safi"). But if there's one person who can change (Bryan)'s mood for the better, it's this week's guest. We're thrilled to be joined by comedian and entertainer extraordinaire Michelle Collins!
