Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Actor, screenwriter, improvisor Mary Holland (The Happiest Season, Golden Arm, Wild Horses) joins the show to talk about Corked, a hilarious new scripted podcast featuring so many friends of the show including Jon Gabrus and Betsy Sodaro. We also talk about going to a boarding school for performers called Interlochen, an especially heartwarming scene with her mom, growing up in a small town in Virgina, wanting to be a serious thespian, being a class clown, finding improv, makeup expiration dates, screenwriting, writing a movie with Lauren Lapkus about Lance Bass and Danielle Fishel's high school romance and so much more. We also did a round of HGFY and JMOE.

Get this, we're in person! Screenwriter Eva Anderson who was personally recommended on air by Paul Rust is here for the very first time and she didn't bring Jimmy Pardo any cookies despite having won various ribbons at the county fair! I wasn't going to say anything, I didn't even think to be upset, but Jimmy Pardo is steamed. Eva tells us about Andrew Tate's wizard and her experience with extremely immersive theater. I took a nasty fall in our kitchen and Jimmy has a similar story involving a movie theater and his labrum. Plus Just Me Or Everyone, the return of Snack Chat, and some jokes from Elliot!

Bald Bryan Bishop (Adam Carolla Show, Film Vault, Shrinkage: Marriage, Manhood and the Tumor that Tried to Kill Me) returns to the show to update us on his battle with brain cancer, give me crap for trying to discuss our kids when I have a whole podcast supposedly devoted to that which I do with Greg Fitzsimmons (but we still talked about them), to discuss Tessa's future as a potential architect, ADHD, people who stretch out words, his upcoming documentary, being unable to put on weight, my footwear and so much more. We also did Just Me Or Everyone, HGFY and reminisced.

There's so much going on in this episode with Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger I don't know if I can even accurately describe it but I will try. Because of the drought Daniel and I are now bathing with a bucket in the shower to catch our run off. It sucks but allows us to feel virtuous. Also because of the drought Wendy and Daniel's affair has taken a hit and Wendy has been visited by Gavin Newsom but it's more complicated than that. Shuffling comes up because of course it does and I listened to the Best Friends Fancast! Plus reptiles and Topic Sombrero!

Halfway through this podcast I found out there was an uninvited slithery guest in a bush outside our house and I valiantly continued even though I wanted to pack my bags and never return! Jordan Morris, Lizzy Cooperman, Daniel Quantz and Tony Thaxton witnessed the whole thing. We also discussed the Rosen bump, Lizzy's podcast where she lets her listeners decide her fate (Jordan and I were guests and needed an update), Steve Harvey, Elliot's first day, my second act, salt lamps, an amazing pillow reveal and more. Plus some JMOES and HGFY!

After discussing my ongoing obsession with the way Tony's arm is probably going to explode from all his drumming, we are joined by writer and host of the shopping podcast Gee Thanks Just Bought It, Caroline Moss.

Our Canadian friend RJ City makes his third appearance on the show and he wants to know if that means he's now a regular. Dalton Castle makes his debut and he's brought a very sparkly jacket courtesy of David Arquette and a green chair which might be a flock of birds. Daniel is here and I demand he explain his coffee gaslighting and Tony wants to know if we're all going to share our experiences with prosthetics adhesive or just those of us with relevant experience. Because I cannot leave it alone, once again I need to discuss blading and turns out I receive a nugget of information that makes it all even worse than I thought. Also, everyone should have a price to bleed. Plus we do a Who Knows RJ Best quiz and discuss drumming, Zima, Dalton's clever fruit packing and more.

Andrew Hunt is back and he just went viral on Tik Tok. We have questions. Robin Shorr, with whom I'm now trauma-bonded, is here and I need more details about her nickname. Tony Thaxton is back and the offer to pay me handsomely for in person shows still stands and has increased. I'd have to be some kind of fool not to take it. Plus I recently went to a lovely home that was so tidy it once again makes me wonder how it is that people can be so organized. How do they do it? And the return of deleted tweets and Daniel's least favorite hoodie!
