I think I've finally solved the mystery of my ear situation and what triggers it! This is like a true crime episode, speaking which of which Daniel shares his complicated feelings about the popularity of true crime. Our children are mounting a campaign to prevent us from sleeping and I wax poetic about the cutest thing you never hope to have to buy: a keepsake urn. Plus we take your calls, discuss gleeking, shoe museums, why Daniel never tells me about moments that made him fall in love with me and at the end I ask for your advice.

Wendy Molyneux, Joe Kwaczala, Tony Thaxton, Daniel and I have all been traveling and now, like one of my favorite episodes of my favorite sitcom, we're all reconvened to fill each other in on our adventures. Tony's tour bus broke down, Wendy's son was nearly electrocuted (but other than that Copenhagen was idyllic), Joe hung out with ladies who love figure-skating in Vail, Colorado and more. Also Joe knows about cut-rate coffins and Wendy and I remember a scandal from our college days.

RJ City and Dalton Castle are in love with Robin (less so with me) and we need to talk about Jury Duty. We also need to talk about what airline you're flying and Hiroshima and the Holocaust.

Original description: Duncan Trussell returns to Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk teachers turned twerkers, magic in the universe, meeting girls on twitter, death, loss, spirituality, the multiverse, our experience of time, goblins, guilt, anger, haircuts, virtual reality, oculus rift and so much more.

After a sad announcement at the top and an update on a wee Tik Tok beef I've found myself in, we revisit this wonderful episode which originally ran in Feb, 2023.
Cole Imperi is a thanatologist which means she studies death, dying, loss and grief. Friend of the show and frequent guest Alie Ward recommended her some time ago when I was looking to talk to someone about loss in 2020. We finally made it happen—in person, no less—since Cole now lives in Los Angeles. Also, she brought bread and butter! And she made the butter herself while hanging out with Alie Ward earlier in the day! On this episode we discussed pepperoni rolls, Kentucky, her relationship with religion, feeling drawn to study death and dying, interning at a crematorium, what people get wrong about grief, funeral directors, misconceptions about people in the deathcare industry, whether the industry is predatory, why living forever isn't what we should want, infertility, shadowloss (a term she coined), roller derby, cicadas, thanabotany, pickle ball, making daisy chains, Ruby and so much more. We also took your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone wherein I revealed some things I've never revealed on the show.

Is there a paper cup big enough to contain this whole show with Jackie Johnson, Lizzy Cooperman and Jeff Fox who is filling in for Tony Thaxton? Lizzy had a mishap at the gas station but it may have given her a million dollar idea. Jackie did cardio to prepare the Blink 182 concert but the experience has caused a sea change! We're learning about bands that are somewhere on the prog-jam spectrum and I need to find out what exactly Jackie and Lizzy mean about being conditioned to wear a certain kind of underwear. Plus problematic Smurfs, bra sizing, and Macbeth!

RJ City—professional wrestler, former Nickelodeon star, and host of AEW's Hey! (EW)—returns to the show for what he thought was a Patreon episode but as explained at the top, it got promoted to regular episode. Or demoted. Depends how you think about it. We discuss the harrowing social situation he found himself in before his last appearance, the Sex Thing Thing, Ben Stein, Bebe Neuwirth, calling things by their brand name and a bone I need to pick, words and meanings, punctuality, communication and more. Plus we answered your question sent in on Patreon and Daniel makes a cameo.

We reminisce about the frat house we accidentally stayed at in Palm Desert that Greg Heller had also once rented for his bachelor party and then I foist upon Daniel the dinosaur album I remember from grade school. I also share some stories about the funniest but meanest girl I was friends with in college and I want to know what kind of guy Daniel thinks I would cheat with, if I were to cheat. I let him know the kind of gal I'd be worried about. Plus your calls, shows that are irritating but watchable versus just irritating, Jenny Holzer and more.

Author Tara Schuster is on the podcast to talk about Glow In the Fcking Dark, the follow up to the hugely successful Buy Yourself the Fcking Lilies. I felt an instant connection with her, which I kinda of suspected I would from her books, but then I sort of think maybe a lot of people do since she's extremely open, vulnerable and bright. That being said there were two moments where I got chills talking to her and she said she felt it too so I think we're really besties? We talk about stuffed animals, emotional neglect, loneliness, writing routines, reparenting oneself, therapy, external validation, working at Comedy Central, being the bartender on Watch What Happens Live with Scheana and Raquel the night #Scandoval broke and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

RJ City, Dalton Castle and Robin Shorr are here in person and nothing is off limits. RJ has a sex question for everyone and it isn't even about the mortifying thing he said to a gal pal at a hotel. That comment was also about sex and Robin and I are still dying a little inside. Did that sentence make sense? Does it make sense that Dalton would occasionally sleep "like a pencil" back in his dating days? And I have a bone to pick with the guys about a little something that happened at the wrestling event I attended the night before. Plus Susan Lucci, RJ's leather pants, RJ's new 'do, Dalton's barfing in my bathroom, sleep bras, platonic naps, Robin's love of logistics, Tony's surveillance photos of me, compliments that move the needle, my famous neighbor and so much more. And a chaotic Owen cameo!

No one gets my "exchange an egg" reference, not even Jordan Morris who is also here and doesn't have big lunch energy (he's a dinner dude). Daniel and I went to dinner the previous night and a perplexing thing kept happening and I need to talk about it. Was it because of the two tartares? Plus some Good Mythical Morning chat, self-defense, food fears and so much more.

Owen joined me at the top to explain why you're hearing this delightful throwback, which originally aired June 17, 2012 instead of the new episode I was planning. He even regales you with a song! Original description:
Kerri Kenney-Silver of MTV’s The State, Reno 911 and a zillion other things (Burning Love, Anger Management) stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to discuss the movie she just worked on, improv versus scripted acting, “tushie burps,” burps in general, Dustin’s balls, relationships, being a woman in comedy (and whether it’s something she thinks about often), a panel discussion about women and comedy where she and Alison met and little league parents. Also there was a burping demonstration, Just Me Or Everyone (click here to see the JMOEs we put on the screen), HGFY and more!

You guys, Peter Madrigal of Vanderpump Rules and Rob Shulte of Vanderpump Robs were scheduled on this group episode of my show BEFORE the crazy VPR news (#scandoval) broke which really worked out well for me and if you don't know what we're talking about, don't worry, we break it down for those unfamiliar. Also joining us is Robin Shorr and she brought two pages of notes. Tony Thaxton is here and trying to follow along. We talk about Peter's dates with Raquel, the role production played, whether Schwartz knew, who knew, Peter's take on what everyone has wrong about the timeline, scrappy Scheana, Peter's integrity, being portrayed incorrectly, platonic friendships, cheating, Raquel's ring, Katie and Schwartz, Tom and Ariana and more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY, which got especially dramatic.

RJ City has returned and I need to talk about something I overheard when he used the guest bathroom at my house last month. Also he refuses to tell me the plot of a movie I'm not going to watch. Ken Reid is also here and he was once slapped because a parrot wolf-whistled and he got blamed. Plus Daniel and I are barely functioning because our son, who is having a birthday, no longer sleeps. Is it because newspapers are delivered at four in the morning. Everyone rudely shuts down my theory. We also do a round of Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze which leads to the greatest and most important ricotta question of our time. And I realize I've possibly been depriving my guests of the release they need from HGFY. We also talk about mortality. And an adoptable dog named Jackson!

Cole Imperi is a thanatologist which means she studies death, dying, loss and grief. Friend of the show and frequent guest Alie Ward recommended her some time ago when I was looking to talk to someone about loss in 2020. We finally made it happen—in person, no less—since Cole now lives in Los Angeles. Also, she brought bread and butter! And she made the butter herself while hanging out with Alie Ward earlier in the day! On this episode we discussed pepperoni rolls, Kentucky, her relationship with religion, feeling drawn to study death and dying, interning at a crematorium, what people get wrong about grief, funeral directors, misconceptions about people in the deathcare industry, whether the industry is predatory, why living forever isn't what we should want, infertility, shadowloss (a term she coined), roller derby, cicadas, thanabotany, pickle ball, making daisy chains, Ruby and so much more. We also took your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone wherein I revealed some things I've never revealed on the show.

Sarah Edmondson (HBO's The Vow, A Little But Culty, Scarred) joins the show to talk about her experience escaping the NXIVM cult, her feelings speaking at the screening of the season two finale, realizing she'd been misled about what her brand (yes, she was branded) represented, her reactions to Keith Raniere, her thoughts on the loyalists (her husband and ALBC cohost Anthony "Nippy" Ames makes a brief appearance too), whether she thinks Nancy Salzman was sincere, recruiting/enrolling people, deprogramming, moving to Atlanta, the one thing most people susceptible to cults have in common, Pam Cafritz's funeral, suspicions that Keith was poisoning women, Allison Mack, writing her memoir and more. We also did a round of JMOE, HGFY and answered your questions. Plus Sarah read the vows Keith wrote for her wedding. And we're giving away a copy of her book!

Bridget Todd makes her Thursday show debut (she was a previous guest on a Monday show) and now I want to do hallucinogens and move to Portugal. Andrew Hunt is back and he did not try to steal a date's personal info but he once drew a completely straight line in high school freehand! Also he loves to move which is insane. I'm so discombobulated I'm acting professional and an embarrassing story of what prompted my move to NYC, which I don't even recall mentioning, is remembered by Andrew. Plus the multiverse theory, revolting fantasies, Canada's penchant for big things, Tony's trip to Fresno for a wrestling show, Andrew's Property Brothers song and more. And the return of the adoptable dog segment!

Jenna, Al and Jeff are here to witness Daniel's sunglasses which he claims are because he got his eyes dilated and not because he's trying to be cool. Still raw from when he cheated on me in a dream with the eye doctor/professor, I need some details. Also, I'm wearing the hoodie he hates and Jenna gets it in a big way. So does Al. Jenna and Al recently guarded their new patio from deer in a creative and some might say insane way. Also, Jenna has a show coming up this weekend where she'll be taping her next special in Chandler, Arizona and we have a discount code for you. It's JENNA50 at Ticketmaster (search Jenna Kim Jones). Plus, can you pull your kid out of school if you have a decent reason or not? I need to know how this works.

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!

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.

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!

Namely: okay so probably not the filter but did he eat the paper? And then Todd Cooper is here, the only repeat Tony's Picks guest! I'm debuting a new rhetorical style that I need feedback on and also I want to know if I should ask my MIL to help me organize my desk and the piles of stuff that surround it. It's gotten pretty bad.

Tony Thaxton can barely contain his rage once more but seems to have conveniently forgotten the poison pen emails that he sent David Huntsberger and Wendy Molyneux less than 24 hours before. Thankfully, I remember! Also, I can't stop coughing even though I've taken a lot of sizzurp. We revisit some important stories and Wendy has a suggestion for how to get to the bottom of the horny Pasadena couple involving a thigh squish and an eyebrow waggle. You're going to want to play along. Meanwhile we all have questions about fruit flies and the answers are unpleasant. And Daniel had a parenting fail and I tried to say it was both of ours but he blames himself and I'm gonna let him.

Jonah Ray and John Ross Bowie join Daniel and me for TONY'S PICKS #4! Can you believe this half-assed disaster has gone on for four episodes and not only hasn't imploded but has actually gone well? Some might even consider it an improvement. Anyway, the camping truthers have come for me because I dare referred to the trip I took to the heart of darkness (a campground and RV park with a number of preschoolers) as camping. IT WAS CAMPING TO ME! Also Daniel and I made plans to hire a private investigator to get to the bottom of a couple who were very nearly publicly porking at Fleming's in Pasadena but then it turned out there was nothing to investigate which was quite a let down. John wore a kilt at the Renn Faire and Jonah was among the goths. Tony cried a lot at Paul McCartney. Plus a Heathers quiz!

This time he's brought Ben Acker, who has come to set to record straight regarding the term "bump" and his old Feliz Navipod pal Todd Cooper who somehow claims to get closure but leaves me more confused. Also we learn about Maypril, a man who violently loves roses, various fun facts, some lies, my dream about Tony and my mom's muffin, Todd's interpretation of said dream, Danhausen, validation and more!

We also answered your questions.

My favorite immersion journalist, A.J. Jacobs (The Year Of Living Biblically, The Know-It-All) is back with another book where he's thrown himself into a specific world—this time that of puzzles. He even dragged his semi-willing family all the way to Spain to participate in a jigsaw puzzle contest. I asked him to rank his books in order of most to least pleasurable to write and we talked about crossword puzzles, dirty monks, nudists and escape rooms, gratitude, possums and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY! Get The Puzzler wherever you get books!
