Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Jackie Johnson is here with another exclusive story and oh boy this one is amazing and involves poop particles! Caroline Moss makes her in person Thursday show debut and we love her! She might be immune to Covid and her sleeping schedule is somewhat insane. I need to ask the skin and shopping gurus a question and Daniel and Tony don't understand large swaths of the conversation. Plus what might be the best true crime story I've ever heard and so much more!

This one is a doozy! We take your calls about annoying things our partners do, discuss shoulder pads in a can and 80s commercials, Daniel's brief bad energy, specific ways to beg when we were children (pretty please with a cherry on top, etc) and then try to name all the famous people named Rod we can think of. There are just so few! This barely scratches the surface of topics discussed on this one and also I reveal some pretty deeply vulnerable insecurities about how Daniel and I met and I'm still surprised I shared it all. Plus Daniel's Game of Seduction. Enjoy!

If you can make it past a pretty trying thirteen minutes of Alison and Daniel arguing about whether Daniel is a baby when he's sick, you will be rewarded with a fairly frictionless show about Alison being sick, dream tattoos, costumes, your calls, the nightmare that's our spooky amusement park ride of a house, Mary Katharine Ham (she was a recent Patreon Friend Zone guest), Dunkin' Donuts, an email from an upcoming guest and that I need your help with and more!

Niccole Thurman is here in person for the first time and she's fresh from the wedding of the century! Jordan Morris is also here and he's fresh from Van Nuys where he was shopping for bolo ties. Did he purchase the most amazing but also expensive one you need to hear about to believe? Also wasn't there a Vanna White video? Am I losing my mind. Plus a swimming acquired fungus, Jordan's passion for texture, some heated words about salt water taffy, my innocent transformation into a grandmother except I refused to let it happen, old people candy, The Super Bowl Shuffle, Halloween and so much more.

Wendy Molyneux is here and she does not like black toilets. In fact she likens my love of fancy shuffling to a black toilet in that it's a deal breaker. This is a gross simplification of an elegant and complex interpersonal dynamic but you get the gist. David Huntsberger is here and his new podcast Intercepts, on which I play a woman who is obsessed with fancy card shuffling for a few sketches, launches this week. Wendy would love if we would never talk about it. We also discuss wrenching and date nights even though we hate that term. Also urinals and Club 33!
