293 - The Boston Beans and the Louisiana Lampshades with Roger Bennett

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. We've got, like, a real sports episode this week, and our favorite Mersey menuvl is joining us. We're thrilled to have back our dear friend Roger Bennett!

Roger, of course, is the head honcho at the Men in Blazers Media Network, where he hosts the podcast of the same name and is one of the foremost voices in the soccer world. His new book, We Are the World (Cup): A Personal History of the World's Greatest Sporting Event, is a must read for not only any sports fan but also any fan of memoirs. It's poignant, funny, and so worth your time!

Roger helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice, in his usual high/low fashion, to a woman trying to set boundaries with her artist mother and to a man who's wondering what the tipping etiquette is when you flirt with the waiter to get free stuff.

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0000

**ALL NEW EPISODES RETURN NEXT WEEK!**

Summer's unofficially over, so let's celebrate September with one more peek inside the Patreon Carriage House before Yadvina takes a well deserved break...for a few days.

We're going back to August 2020 and Patreon 26.

From 8/7/20: Agent Provocateur Ronna & CCEO (Bryan) are here with a doozy of a question about what to do when you wake up to your partner energetically masturbating in bed next to you while you're trying to sleep. Then it's on to matters less risqué, including proper bidet etiquette and what to if your neighbors aren't reciprocating your offers to socialize.

(Bryan) took Ronna's notes from last week and offers up a new version of the Lobsterman's commercial. We think you'll agree it's...got more panache.

Yadvina's Keys to The Carriage House: The Magic Wand & QUIFF #10 - Wrath of Khan & Ratatouille (Patreon 23)

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0000

New Free Feed episodes return Tuesday, September 9th!

Until then, summer break continues with a look inside the Patreon Carriage House thanks to Yadvina.

This week we're going back to July 2020 when we were all stuck inside during the pandemic. But we got through it with our QUIFF Film Festival Series. Here's a peek at what it was like!

From 7/17/20: I mean, when you have a cliffhanger that's this dire, you have to dive right in! We waste no time dishing out our advice on what tools make masturbation a more fulfilling experience (a rechargeable wand and Toni Braxton go a long way, apparently). Then, after some reviews and a VERY interesting update from this week's Free Feed Twitter porn issue, we move on to #QUIFF! We had a fairly heavy festival a couple of weeks ago, so we're ingesting some lighter fare this week with STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN and RATATOUILLE. Montalbán's pecs! Shatner's pettiness! Garofalo's French accent! It's all here!

When we say there are only a few tickets left to Ask Ronna Live in Boston, we mean it. Like, there are maybe 8 tickets left. If you want to join us on October 4th in Beantown, you better get on it NOW! askronnalive.com

Yadvina's Keys to The Carriage House: My Parents Don’t Care About COVID & The Foursome (Patreon 22)

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0000

Our summer break is in full swing, and Yadvina is letting anyone who asks into The Carriage House while Ronna shacks up north of the border. Lucky for you, that means another sneak peek at our Patreon catalogue. And we're going way back again to July of 2020.

This week it's a Carriage House Catch-Up with Ronna (& Bryan), but we won't let Ronna's FedEx guy, "Sale of the Century," or (Bryan)'s eerily accurate impression of Andrei from 90 Day get in the way of helping out our CHIPs!

After a cliffhanger about a woman who scares easily (and the boyfriend who thinks it's strange), we get into a pair of questions regarding quarantine: one about an elderly mother ready to get out and the other about a bored family looking for games to play while staying in. Mix it all in with an update from our four-to-a-bed Foursome, and you've got yourselves a podcast.

Not only do you get bonus episodes every month, but, depending on which tier you join, you also get access to the back catalogue of episodes as well as the monthly (and invaluable, pardon me) Shades of Vanilla Newsletter!

It's an intimate Carriage House catch-up, and Ronna & Bryan are talking Murder Hornets, 90 Day, and everything in between. Then it's on to an international update from Seville, Spain, men's jewelry, and a VERY tricky question about Twitter Porn.

And it's worth mentioning there's no summer break on Patreon, so you can join us for BRAND NEW episodes with Ronna (& Bryan) all month long! patreon.com/askronna

Wait a minute. Yes, our dear (Bryan) is in Edinburgh right now, but we're just getting right into it this week because we have a special guest who's been in The Carriage House so much it might be insulting to call her a guest. She's family at this point, pardon me. It's our dear, dear friend Jessica St. Clair!

If you're not listening to Jessica's podcast THE DEEP DIVE (with the equally lovely June Diane Raphael), we don't know what to tell you. You're missing out!

Ronna and Jessica, who's off to the south of France tomorrow for a well earned vacation, have a little Carriage House Catch-Up of their own (did Ronna REALLY give Jessica some bad pot?) before giving advice on a mother vs mother-in-law battle and what to do with a boyfriend whose home is less than clean.

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) has a sudden work obligation and can only stay for the introduction (such is the life of a Hollywood A-Lister), but boy is he missing out. We suppose it's only fair, though, since Ronna missed out the first time this absolute literary legend was previously in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is the Queen herself, Susan Orlean!

Of course you know Susan as the best-selling author of THE ORCHID THIEF, which was adapted into the Academy Award winning film ADAPTATION with Meryl Streep. She's also the author of THE LIBRARY BOOK as well as a staff writer for THE NEW YORKER. Her new book, JOYRIDE, comes out in October! You can also find her Substack at susanorlean.substack.com

(Bryan)'s Edinburgh show, ARE YOU MAD AT ME, is coming up at the end of the month and plays the Edinburgh Fringe for most of August. Are you going to be anywhere near Scotland in August? Go see (Bryan)! Tickets at bryansafi.com

All new episodes are coming back soon, but until then, we're letting Yadvina grant you access to another episode from behind the Patreon wall, this one from August 2022.

(Bryan)'s back in The Carriage House! He hasn't listened to Scarlett Curtis's Free Feed episode yet, but there's just SOMETHING about her that rubs him the wrong way (we have no idea what it could be, but Naomi and Cynthia might know, pardon me).

After a thorough chat about THE DEEP END, the Hulu documentary about Teal Swan, we answer a cliffhanger about a brother and his socially anxious girlfriend causing a rift in the family. Then we end with some follow-ups, including one for the ages from our Lonely in Madrid letter writer that you've got to hear.

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 07:00:00 -0000

On this week's Yadvina's Keys adventure, we go back to April 2021 with Patreon 61. And the most fun part of this trip in the Time Machine is that we get to hear Ronna (& Bryan)'s first reaction to EMILY IN PARIS Season 1, which at the time was all the rage on Netflix. Here's how Patreon 61 was described originally.

"OK, there's no need for alarm. Ronna's having some eye issues today, which explains her Telly Savalas glasses. But she's off to the doctor after the recording, and no, (Bryan) won't be driving her there, excuse me. Until then, how about a Carriage House Catch-Up? After an in depth analysis of the gloriously bad EMILY IN PARIS, Ronna (& Bryan) give some advice on a VERY interesting situation involving childhood friends, a pathological liar, and her wedding. This is a good one!"

On a related note, don't forget that we've got some watchalongs of the new fourth season of EMILY IN PARIS on Patreon right now.

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 07:01:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. We've got a real "hot Krispy Kremes at the nuthouse" kind of episode this week. Ronna's on the floor with her feet in the air (for her back, excuse me), and (Bryan)'s been sneezing all day. But luckily we have a guest who delights us to no end. We're so happy to welcome to The Carriage House actor, comedian, and writer Jo Firestone! Her novel MURDER ON SEX ISLAND is being released on October 17th (allegedly), and you can hear excerpts of it wherever you get your podcasts.

You can ALSO hear excerpts of her book TONIGHT, September 12, at the Bell House in Brooklyn. If you're in New York, go check it out!

Yadvina's Keys to The Carriage House: The Real High Road Out of Schmuckville (Patreon 164)

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 07:01:00 -0000

It's Labor Day, and Yadvina has a rare day off...so she's lending you her keys to The Carriage House so you can get a little sneak peek behind the door. This week we go back to March 31st with Patreon 164.

Ronna (& Bryan) had such a blast at that past weekend's Social Club Kiki, but (Bryan) was still feeling a bit "provoked," shall we say. But all was smoothed over when Ronna reminded him that he flew one of the best first class products in the skies back to the US courtesy of HER, excuse me. After a quick review of the Czech National Ballet, it was on to a Dooze McBooze of a cliffhanger that got Ronna's blood BOILING. She's rarely been so angry on this show, so watch out!

Not yet a CHIP of ours on Patreon? Join us at patreon.com/askronna

And we'll see you next week for an ALL NEW EPISODE on the Free Feed!

You know Chris from his countless television appearances, but his podcast BEAUTIFUL STORIES FROM ANONYMOUS PEOPLE is a phenomenal show and you should absolutely listen to it right after this. He also hosts the equally amazing podcast NEW JERSEY IS THE WORLD, which is about the things that make Jersey...Jersey.

Now wait a minute. We've got a sherbet sensation of an episode today. We've received so many juicy follow-ups over the past several weeks that we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to them..and we've got a LOT to say!

Our follow-ups this week come from the woman who was debating moving her family to Michigan (for millions of dollars), a woman inspired by our friend Leora in Israel, the guy who was worried about being an adult child of divorce, a Dooze McBOOZE of a follow-up from the woman whose boyfriend paid for his younger female friend to meet them all in Thailand, and, finally, the woman who's having a dueling wedding with her sister-in-law.

166 - Brownie à la Mode en Fuego with Erin Gibson

Tue, 02 May 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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.

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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.

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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!

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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.

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 07:01:00 -0000

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!

155 - Classic Cliffhangers: Good Love, Great Crack

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 08:01:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. If you joined us at the Lonely Hearts Live Show this past Sunday, you already know how much we LOVE Valentine's Day. This week, along with a Carriage House Catch-Up, we thought it would be fun to revisit some of our classic love related cliffhangers from Patreons past. In this installment, we look back on Derek the "masc tormentor," the Danny/Gennaro/Tony Grindr ménage-à-trois, the possibly Scandinavian "Miserable in Love," and our "ostensibly straight" narcissist, who we REALLY let have it. Ronna (& Bryan) listen to their past advice to see if it still holds up (spoiler alert: of course it does). Throw in some real talk about Tom Brady and Charles Barkley, and you've got a show that's willing to show off its spectacular crack!

Did you miss the live show this past Sunday? You missed a gem! Luckily, you can still buy a ticket to watch a recording of the proceedings in its entirety! We've got songs. We've got games. We've got Trixie Mattel, Naomi, and Andy! You won't want to miss it! askronnalive.com

154 - When Shania Goes to Geneva

Tue, 07 Feb 2023 08:01:00 -0000

It's a classic Carriage House Catch-Up this week with Ronna (& Bryan). (Bryan)'s getting over a cold and the only thing that can help, apparently, is $500 cash, though Dr. Glickman has a second opinion on that particular treatment. But these amazing questions could also cure what ails you! This week we give advice on a very long but meaningful affair, a psychic guilt trip from Australia, and dealing with the biggest monster in real estate. It's like an epidural straight to your spine!

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 08:01:00 -0000

When we first met him a couple of years ago we knew he'd be big, but we didn't know just how big, pardon me. This guy is a real bopper. We're so happy to welcome back to The Carriage House none other than TV star, dancer extraordinaire, and the King of Peloton Cody Rigsby!

Cody joins us on this extra long Free Feed to give advice on a tricky job referral and a parent inserting themselves into what was going to be a solo vacation.Top it off with a cliffhanger so infuriating that Ronna (& Bryan) can't help but start answering it, and you've got yourself an episode worth traveling ronnameters for!

Add to Cart: Ronna Glickman Is Elevating Our Carts

Tue, 03 Jan 2023 08:01:00 -0000

Yes. we're still on break for another week, but we've got a New Years treat for you! As you may know, our dear, dear friends Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak host their own podcast ADD TO CART, and if you're not listening to this show, we don't know what to tell you. It's fabulous, and we wanted to do a "feed drop," as the podcast industry calls it, pardon me, to share one particular episode with you. If you loved Kulap and SuChin when they were on Ask Ronna, then you'll love Ronna as a special guest on Add To Cart. Enjoy!

Join comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Each week, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what's worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what's not. From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are.

In this episode, Ronna dishes on the most gorgeous and ballsy L.A. art Ku and Su have yet to see. Plus, she’s getting rejuvenated at a retreat that’s as incredible as its price tag. Prepare for the classiest cart.

Patreon Amuse-Bouche: Your Presence Is My Presents (Patreon 150)

Tue, 27 Dec 2022 08:01:00 -0000

We know, we know. We said we were taking a holiday break from the Free Feed...but we wanted to give you a little taste of what you're missing over on Patreon. As a post-holiday treat, here's last week's Patreon episode for you to enjoy. And if you're missing us during our Free Feed break, there's NEVER been a better time to join us on Patreon. We've got ALL NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAY...even during our break. patreon.com/askronna

From Patreon 150: It's Christmas Eve...Eve! Look, we know you have to bundle up, go get in the car, look at the traffic, and figure out how long it'll take you to get out of town (and then add an hour), but you better believe we're going to give you an incredible episode before you go. First off is a cliffhanger about how and when to tell a small child about an estranged grandparent. Then we have a ball helping a young doctor in med school compile his residency rank list. We're biased to Boston, excuse me, but what about Chicago, San Jose, or Minneapolis? Or even Columbus? Listen and find out!

The December Social Club / Holiday Kiki is tomorrow, and we're beside ourselves with excitement. We hope to see you there! But if you're not a member, or didn't buy one of our fabulous gift boxes, we have good news for you: we're now accepting members for January!

150 - The Galactic Empress of House Glickman & the Fruit Knight of House Safi

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 08:01:00 -0000

We did it! It's our 150th Episode, if you can believe it. We can't tell you how grateful we are to still be a part of your lives after all this time, and we'll be here for 150 more episodes...or until (Bryan) breaks out of The Carriage House like the Kool-Aid Man. After some quick follow-ups, including one from over 2 years ago, pardon me, we give advice on avoiding making comparisons to others when you're a new mother, how to deal with a neighbor who's probably a grifter, and navigating living with an ex 10 years after the break-up. It's a fabulous way to end the season!

Speaking of, this is our Season 3 finale, so we'll be taking a little break from the Free Feed. But we'll be back in January with all new episodes. And of course if you miss us too much, remember that we'll be posting ALL NEW EPISODES on Patreon every Friday throughout our break.

147 - Catching Feelings with Patton Oswalt

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 08:01:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. If you thought Ronnukah was our last hurrah of the year, you've got another think coming, excuse me. We couldn't be happier to welcome a living legend into The Carriage House this week as we're joined by the delightful and hilarious Patton Oswalt! Of course you know Patton as one of the most gifted comedians working today (his new Netflix special WE ALL SCREAM is streaming now). And if you needed a reminder, his acting resume is a mile long, from THE KING OF QUEENS to RATATOUILLE (a Ronna favorite) to his most recent award-winning film I LOVE MY DAD.

Patton helps us give advice on some major brother-in-law drama, talking about an untraditional relationship with friends, and throwing a party in a co-op.

Ronnukah was a huge success, pardon me. We've heard from so many of you already that you've added Ronna (& Bryan)'s suggestions to your collective carts. But we couldn't be happier with our own Ronnukah offerings this season, including a gorgeous personalized Kinto tumbler, ultra luxe drinking chocolate with Irish Cream and Créme de Menthe, Ronna's Custom Holiday Glühwein, and more! Find it all at ronnukah.com

And, needless to say, December's AR Social Club Kiki will be one for the books. Join before December 6th to get an invite to the holiday party of the year. And don't forget that single social club boxes are available and make absolutely fabulous gifts...and both the sender and the receiver receive invites to the Kiki! arsocialclub.com

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 08:02:00 -0000

Ho ho ho! No, we're not referring to three (Bryan)s. It's the episode you've been waiting for all year: Ronnukah is finally here! And we've got a TON in store for you this holiday season. In addition to our usual gift suggestions for all price points (this episode covers gifts $250 and beyond...for those who want to splurge), we've got some VERY exciting Ask Ronna gift sets that couldn't be more chic if they tried, pardon me. And they're all available in one easy place: ronnukah.com

We've got gift sets featuring the most transformative hot chocolate Ronna's ever had, plenty of boozy holiday treats, a personalized tumbler from favorite Carriage House brand Kinto, Ronna's spin on Glühwein (with mulling spices from Rare Tea Cellar, pardon me), and more! All make incredible gifts, and all are available at ronnukah.com

And if that wasn't enough, we have an extra treat for our December AR Social Club members. Because an AR Club box would make an excellent gift (obviously), we're doing something different and revealing what comes inside December's box early: you'll be getting a special champagne that redefines holiday luxury along with TWO stunning champagne flutes from which to drink it. And for those who've asked us for a non-alcoholic option, we're offering a version of this club box with an alcohol free champagne. And each box also comes with Ronna's extra special family latke recipe along with some other goodies we'll keep a surprise.

The deadline to join AR Social Club for December has been extended to December 6th. Remember that you can also buy single club boxes and send them out as gifts, and everyone who gets a box in December, whether it be as a club member or as a single gift, will be invited to the Kiki December 28th!

Then we're beyond thrilled to welcome legendary comedian, writer, and activist Lizz Winstead to The Carriage House! Of course you know her as co-creator of a little program called THE DAILY SHOW, but you can also catch her podcast FEMINIST BUZZKILLS LIVE! wherever you get your podcasts.

From the remote-working camper to the dentures wearer and more, we've got a LOT to talk about (and no, not all of it is grundle related, excuse me).

Now wait a minute.

We're so pleased to welcome writer and former executive editor at TEEN VOGUE Samhita Mukhopadhyay! She's the author of OUTDATED: WHY DATING IS RUINING YOUR LOVE LIFE and co-editor of the anthology NASTY WOMEN: FEMINISM, RESISTANCE, AND REVOLUTION IN TRUMP'S AMERICA.

141 - Margaret Needs Her Iron!

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 07:01:00 -0000

With the way Ronna (& Bryan) start this episode, you'd think we're on Patreon, but no! It's just time for a good old fashioned Carriage House Catch-Up! (Bryan)'s in need of a rejuvenating vajazzle after a night of double tequila shots and hot dogs, but that won't stop Ronna and him from dishing out their always fabulous advice. First they give their two cents on being romantic as a 29 year old with dentures. Then it's on to some advice about a "DTR" conversation, and finally they share their thoughts on an issue involving remote work and...camping?

We are beyond thrilled to welcome to The Carriage House our dear friend, playwright, and podcast host Liza Powel O'Brien! Her fabulous podcast, SIGNIFICANT OTHERS, is available wherever you get your podcasts, and if you're not listening to it, we don't know what to tell you. Where else can you learn about Mary Todd Lincoln's shopping addiction?

Liza joins us to give advice to a motley crew of letter writers. First it's a battle royale between sisters-in-law married to twins, then we hear from a book club that's been hijacked by a baby, and finally we give advice to someone outraged that their friend has stopped giving money to NPR and has, instead, started supporting shows on (gasp!)

Tue, 30 Aug 2022 07:01:20 -0000

Now wait a minute. Once again we have what the industry calls a "get" on the show this week. We're so excited to get to our guest that (Bryan) is (almost) willing to put aside his raging jealousy that Ronna's going to the Emmys this year, so let's get to it. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than writer, producer, and creator of Marvel's SHE-HULK: ATTORNEY AT LAW on Disney Plus Jessica Gao!

Jessica joins us to give advice on dealing with a family member's socially unaware girlfriend, a problematic new grandparent, and some friendship drama revolving around a baby shower.

Hello, Dolly! Have we got a show this week or what? First, a disclaimer: we did this interview a couple of months ago, but we held on to it because we wanted to wait until the premiere of this guest's fabulous new show.

127 - Thank You and Thank You with Carl Clemons-Hopkins

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 07:01:53 -0000

Good day, dear Carriage House Members! We're here enjoying some delicious Ask Ronna Coffee and giving you a little ASMR with some Queen's Jubilee cookies (Ronna is a royalist, after all), but who are we kidding? We have GOT to get to today's guest. It's none other than our dear friend Carl Clemons-Hopkins! You know them from one of our favorite shows, HACKS, and they're fresh off their Off-Broadway show LESSONS IN SURVIVAL: 1971 at the Vineyard Theatre.

Look, we know it's exciting. We know this is our first Free Feed of the new season with a special guest, excuse me. And we know we're back to gifting some fabulous giveaways to a lucky letter writer, pardon me...but Ronna has to address something with (Bryan) immediately, and it involves the literally dozens of messages she's received asking about (Bryan)'s skincare regimen. Inquiring minds want to know! But we're also SO lucky to have with us as our first guest in Season 3, pardon me, our dear, dear friend Michaela Watkins! You know her from WEREWOLVES WITHIN, CASUAL, SNL, the upcoming Hulu series THE DROPOUT, and about a million other things. Michaela joins us today to give advice on a rollercoaster of an engagement, a husband's terrifying sneeze, and a missed birthday.

The holidays are officially in full swing, and nothing will comfort you more than a delicious cup of Ronnukah Blend or Vienna in Winter. Both of our limited time holiday blends are available at askronnacoffee.com through the end of the year!

And don't forget the FABULOUS gift boxes curated by our dear friend Conor at Fiasco Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn. Our Suds 'n Spuds pack is selling like hotcakes, and you can't get any classier than the Black Manhattan or SuperGay Martini gift sets. All are available at negronna.com

After some great follow-ups and reviews (five stars only, pardon me), we give advice on what to do when you hate your husband's dogs, how to deal with a real wet blanket at work, and navigating a throuple's body odor issue.

Ronnukah is still in full swing, and that means our delicious Ask Ronna Coffee holiday blends are ready to order! Enjoy a rich, chocolatey Ronnukah Blend or a crisp, cinnamon Vienna in Winter.

95. Ronnukah 2021 (Part 2)

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 08:06:41 -0000

We're baaack! And just in time for our most anticipated episode of the year. It's Ronnukah! After Ronna drops an announcement for the ages (to say she had her hands full during her time off is an understatement), we give our suggestions for the perfect holiday gift at any price point. In fact, we have so much to say and share that we had to split Ronnukah into TWO episodes, excuse me. So if you missed us during our hiatus from the Free Feed, you'll get double your pleasure on our return this week! Happy Ronnukah!

And video of the entire episode is available exclusively to our Sauna Privileges members on Patreon. Do you want to watch (Bryan) model his gift suggestions? Become a Sauna Privileges member today!

Yes, Ronna had a busy time off...but that included spending time in the lab again. We couldn't be happier to announce not one, but TWO holiday coffee blends available this season! Of course, we're bringing back last season's Ronnukah Blend, the rich, chocolate hazelnut, full-bodied organic mocha that was such a hit in The Carriage House. It's still the only Hanukkah inspired coffee on the market, pardon me. But, as if that weren't enough, we've also got a BRAND NEW holiday blend. Fresh out of the lab, we're pleased to offer you Vienna in Winter. This cinnamon-dusted confection will transport you to the snowy streets of Vienna and its famous winter markets at the most magnificent time of year. And the smell? Divine. Combine our new holiday blends with our delicious stand-bys, Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla, and you've got some of the most delicious coffee around and an AMAZING gift for the holidays.

Patreon Amuse-Bouche: Carriage House Costume Party (Patreon 90)

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 07:00:00 -0000

It's time for another little amuse-bouche Patreon preview, but be sure to listen for the VERY special announcement at the top. We think you'll like it, excuse me.

Now, wait a minute...anyone watching on video will have to pardon the darkness at the top of the show. We're just doing a dramatic reveal of Ronna's (& Bryan)'s Halloween costumes for this year, and, trust us, it'll be worth it! See if you can guess what they are before the lights come up (longtime listeners of the show have an advantage here). After the big reveal and a quick catch-up, we're off to the races with some advice on an uncertain and ambiguous relationship and what to do when a good friend has chosen to stop wearing deodorant. It'll be a great way to start your Halloween weekend!

This is just a taste of what's on the menu over on Patreon. Wanna eat the whole meal? Join us on Patreon! patreon.com/askronna

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 07:00:00 -0000

It's time for another Free Feed preview of our most recent Patreon episode!

We're beyond excited about Halloween here in Marblehead. (Bryan) is getting his Chucky costume ready, though he has a second costume he's preparing specifically for The Carriage House, excuse me. Until then, we've got another absolutely fantastic show for you this week! After we gab about Phantom of the Opera and the travesty of banned American sprinkles in the UK, we give advice on a pair of husband related questions: how to handle a video game-playing spouse and what to do when you feel as though your significant other isn't carrying his weight around the house.

Patreon Amuse-Bouche: Bad Art Friend & The Annual Carriage House Halloween Candy Tasting with Paul F. Tompkins (Patreon 88)

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. The reaction to this past week's Patreon episode was INCREDIBLE, pardon me, and we couldn't agree more. Was Paul F. Tompkins a delight? Of course he was. Was our discussion of the Bad Art Friend from the New York Times everything we said it would be and more? Of course it was. And was our Halloween Candy Tasting a high/low treat of monumental proportions? You better believe it was.

Here's a little taste of what you missed if you aren't a Carriage House member. Wanna hear the whole thing? Why wouldn't you! Join us on Patreon to listen to (or watch!) what can only be described as an episode for the ages.

Patreon Amuse-Bouche: The Twink with a Clairvoyant Streak (Patreon 87)

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 07:00:00 -0000

It's another amuse-bouche this week to give you a taste of our most recent episode over on Patreon! This is an excerpt from this past weekend, "The Twink with a Clairvoyant Streak" (Patreon 87). As the title suggests, there's a lot to talk about.

The town of Marblehead may be making a racket outside The Carriage House today with their tree trimming crew (which Ronna doesn't need since she has her own people to do that, pardon me), but that's not stopping us from hosting an absolutely fabulous show. After some helpful tips about shopping in Europe and some clarification on whether or not Ronna is mentioned in the Pandora Papers, we offer some advice on what to do after a very awkward OB-GYN visit, how to let a friend know you want to keep the relationship platonic, and navigating the insecurities of young love.

Wanna hear the rest? Of course! Head over to patreon.com/askronna to get this episode in its entirety.

Patreon Amuse-Bouche: The (W)hole Shebang (Patreon 86)

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Hello, dears! This week we thought we'd try something a little different on the Free Feed. Here's an excerpt from our latest Patreon episode from this past weekend, "The (W)hole Shebang" (Patreon 86). Think of it as an amuse-bouche to whet your appetite for the main course, pardon me.

Ronna doesn't even know where to begin this week. She and (Bryan) are still up in arms about last week's "best friend" letter, but they eventually work it out and get to some VERY interesting questions! After several follow-ups, including the best P.S. we've EVER received, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on a delicate situation involving a stranger's cremated remains and a supportive mother who found text messages on her son's phone that suggest he may be questioning his sexuality.

Wanna hear the rest of this fabulous episode? You can! Join us in The Carriage House at patreon.com/askronna

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 07:00:00 -0000

We're back inside The Carriage House for a Patreon Sneak Peek thanks to Yadvina. This week we travel back to the holiday season of 2020.

The low winter sun is shining through the windows while we have a delightful Carriage House Catch-Up, excuse me. Today is all about advice, so after our cliffhanger about a family's gift-giving drama we answer questions about exploring sexuality later in life, whether or not to tell your best friend about her cheating boyfriend, and dealing with your friend when you have a troubled relationship with his fiancee.

If you're missing Ronna (& Bryan) during their Free Feed hiatus, you can always join them on Patreon where you'll find them BOTH (Ronna's back!) dishing out ALL NEW EPISODES every Friday!

It's the gift that keeps on giving! Yadvina's keys are still under the doormat, so come inside The Carriage House for a sneak peek at Patreon 35 from early October 2020.

Fall is in full swing in Marblehead. Ronna's got her cardigan (with a gorgeous “I Coffee & Voted" brooch, excuse me) and (Bryan) is dazzling with his Navy SEAL haircut and well-fitted tee. We're ready to dish out some advice! First we've got a cliffhanger about finding your relationship-hating ex-boyfriend...in a relationship. Then we move on to a, shall we say, FIRMLY written update on our old friends Arthur and Rob in the UK followed by the delicate problem of dealing with intimacy issues and depression.

By the way, the EPIC follow-up we received in this Patreon was from the cliffhanger about Arthur and Rob in Leeds. If you need a refresher on the whole situation, you can hear the letter in Free Feed 48 (Little Miss Compton with Arden Myrin).

Time for another sneak peek inside The Carriage House courtesy of Yadvina! This week we go back a little over a year to Labor Day weekend of 2020. Ronna's off to the Vineyard for the holiday, and (Bryan) and the Lobsterman are planning a little tour of Massachusetts that they would totally be willing to cancel for a chance to play shirtless tennis for Ronna and her friends. But, before anyone ventures off for a (socially distanced) weekend, we answer some tough questions about dealing with new roles and responsibilities once a family member dies, what happens when your married lover becomes your COVID BF, and what to do when your friends don't donate to your cause on social media.

Ronna (& Bryan) are still on their Free Feed break, but a certain Ukrainian housekeeper is back in Marblehead with a little gift for you. Once again, it's the keys to The Carriage House and a sneak peek at Patreon! This week we travel back to August 7, 2020, with Patreon 26.

Agent Provocateur Ronna & CCEO (Bryan) are here with a doozy of a question about what to do when you wake up to your partner energetically masturbating in bed next to you while you're trying to sleep. Then it's on to matters less risqué, including proper bidet etiquette and what to do if your neighbors aren't reciprocating your offers to socialize.

Also, (Bryan) took Ronna's notes from the previous week and offers up a new version of the Lobsterman's commercial. We think you'll agree it's...got more panache.

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0000

It seems as though Yadvina's kindness (or maybe it's mischief) knows no bounds. She's lending you her keys again so you get another sneak peek inside The Carriage House! This week, we go back in time to May 22, 2020, with Patreon 15. It's early on in quarantine and (Bryan) is feeling a bit squirrely (he may or may not have caused a massive power outage in the sauna the previous week). But luckily Ronna is willing to look the other way and the whole thing turns into a fabulous Carriage House Catch-Up: game shows, Grace Kelly, Big Ed...we cover it all. Plus we've got a cliffhanger about finding a married family member on Tinder and then give tips on high-end salon etiquette. Ronna (& Bryan) won't be getting any buzzers for that!

Of course if you're really missing new episodes, Patreon is the place to go! We have a VERY special guest host this week we know you will love. Join us at patreon.com/askronna for all new episodes, even during our Free Feed break!

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Ronna (& Bryan) are on a well-deserved break from the Free Feed, but Yadvina is still keeping The Carriage House in pristine condition while they're away...and she has a treat for you all. She is going to let you borrow her keys to The Carriage House so everyone on the Free Feed can get a taste of what they're missing on Patreon. Normally Ronna would be FURIOUS if she knew there was this kind of access to The Carriage House, but Yadvina won't tell if you won't!

This week we're sharing our fifth Patreon episode with you. In this episode, released on March 13th, 2020, (Bryan) brings his dog Sherman into The Carriage House as an emotional support animal during a time of growing stress surrounding this new bug going around called coronavirus (little did we know, excuse me). With Sherman in tow and a heaping helping of profanity (and...does (Bryan) have a guest in The Carriage House?) it really is Free Feed behavior at its finest. After a cliffhanger about airplane etiquette, we give our advice on changing up your sleeping habits and how to deal with a coworker who loves to take credit.

And if you're missing Ronna (& Bryan) while they're on break, join us on Patreon where we'll have ALL NEW episodes every Friday, even during our break! patreon.com/askronna

Ronna (& Bryan) may not be here this week, but, wherever they are, you can rest assured they're sipping on Negronnas!

And if you're trying to stay cool on these hot August days, an iced Ask Ronna Coffee is the perfect remedy! Whether it's Carriage House or Shades of Vanilla, you can't go wrong. Visit askronnacoffee.com to get yours today.

Tue, 10 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0000

She's back! After a week away, Ronna has returned in all her glory, but we don't even have time to talk about her doubles tournament with Hugh Moscowitz because of (Bryan)'s mischief while she was away. But no need to worry...she has a forensic plumber on the case. In any event, this show is our end of Season 2 blowout extravaganza! We're taking a well deserved break for a short while, but not before we give some advice on roommate cupcake wars, breaking up with a friend, and struggling with self-image during the creative process. And with a TRIPLE giveaway, we're truly ending the season on a high note!

Don't worry...this little season break won't be for too long, and we'll let you know soon when we'll be back.

92 - Shot Girl Summer with Special Guest Host Jessica St. Clair

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. The tension is palpable. You could cut it with a knife. Ronna's doubles tennis tournament was moved to today, and she absolutely couldn't miss it, so she asked a dear friend to fill in for her on the show. But what happens when this dear friend is one of (Bryan)'s biggest rivals? Can they put their competitiveness for Ronna's approval aside for the sake of the show? The answer is a resounding YES! And it's easy when the special guest host in question is none other than the utterly delightful Jessica St. Clair! Jessica (& Bryan) team up to give advice on a titillating sexual proposition gone awry, dealing with a unique piece of art from an ex-boyfriend, and whether or not it's OK to put dog poo in a residential trash bin.

And be sure to catch Jessica's wonderful podcast THE DEEP DIVE with co-host June Diane Raphael.

Jessica is having herself a "shot girl summer." And you know what she's drinking? A Negronna, of course! Join her by getting a bottle of your own at negronna.com where tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders!

After some serious Judge Judy talk and reminiscing about Jerry Hall, we welcome comedian and podcast host Megan Gailey to The Carriage House! You know her from her countless appearances on Comedy Central and the late night shows as well as host of the podcast I LOVE A LIFETIME MOVIE with friend of the show (and (Bryan)'s mortal enemy) Naomi Ekperigin.

90 - Classic Cliffhangers: Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 07:00:00 -0000

We absolutely love giving our Free Feed listeners a little taste of what they're missing in The Carriage House over on Patreon every now and then (though we hesitate to use the word "taste" this week, as you'll see). It's time for another edition of Classic Cliffhangers! For this illustrious volume, we're bringing you some of our dirtiest cliffhangers, and we mean that quite literally. First up is one of the most outrageous cliffhangers we've ever had (the story of a polyamorous hook-up gone awry). Then it's on to a very delicate question on personal hygiene, a new lover who doesn't seem to have any clean clothes, and the story of a Grindr flirtation that goes in a very unexpected direction.

The drinks of the summer continue to be the Negronna and iced Ask Ronna Coffee. What can we say, we've got your summer beverages covered any which way you want them. Remember that tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders at negronna.com and, at askronnacoffee.com, you can subscribe and save. It's a Ronna (& Bryan) kind of summer, pardon me!

The Free Feed gets to at least hear the cliffhanger questions, if not the answers (unless we include them in a Classic Cliffhangers). But thanks to a mistake from Tony this week (who's on thin ice, excuse me), you get to hear both a question and answer that was never meant to be on the Free Feed! Of course, if you became a CHIP and joined us on Patreon, you'd have access to each and every minute of our valuable advice any time you wanted. Visit patreon.com/askronna and join us for bonus episodes every Friday.

By the way, as an added bonus, you can watch video of this entire episode on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/askronna

88 - A Dog in the Bed Is Better Than a Condom on the Foot with Roger Bennett

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Summer is officially in full swing. Ronna's 4th of July gala was as good as it's ever been (despite (Bryan) flirting with every man there) and we're sipping Negronnas poolside daily. Life is good! What could make it better? Maybe inviting into The Carriage House our dear friend, and one of the most prominent soccer broadcasters in the US, pardon me, Roger Bennett! You know Roger from his massively successful podcast and NBCSN television show MEN IN BLAZERS as well as his new (and deeply heartfelt) memoir (RE)BORN IN THE USA. Roger joins us to give advice on a roommate overstepping her boundaries, a 44 year old friendship on the rocks, and a new beau who lets his dog sleep in the bed. Roger is a mischief maker, so he (& Bryan) get along famously!

By the way, Roger's book, (RE)BORN IN THE USA, is available at bookshop.org/shop/askronna and https://amzn.to/3Atp3C2

The guests at Ronna's 4th of July gala couldn't have been more impressed with her bottles of Negronna.

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 07:00:00 -0000

OK, Ronner...today's show is filled to the brim with energy and follow-ups, or "F.U.'s" as (Bryan) calls them. In fact, we have so much to get to that we barely have time to chat about all the incredibly exciting things happening in The Carriage House this month (the Negronna launch, our Instagram Live last week, the gorgeous Pride stickers coming with the coffee, etc). So without further ado, we're so happy to welcome actor, comedian, writer, and podcaster Raiza Licea to The Carriage House! You know her as one of the hosts of the podcast SPANISH AQUÍ PRESENTS and her appearance this season on our favorite show HACKS. Raiza joins us to give advice on moving to Miami, some pet drama involving an ex, and dealing with a partner who's sensitive about his birthday. Negronnas continue to fly off the shelves, as those of you who caught our Instagram Live on Friday are well aware. Bright, boozey, delicious...it's the drink of the summer. And it's shipping NOW! Get yours while supplies last, and remember that tax and shipping are included in all US orders. Exclusively at NEGRONNA.COM Are you a teetotaler?

86 - (Bryan) and The Whale

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Here we are, just the two of us! It's another back-to-basics Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and not a moment too soon. (Bryan)'s in a mood (you'll never guess who the Lobsterman left him for...), but luckily Ronna's here to lift his spirits! After some great follow-ups (we don't know exactly what a Norwegian Forest Cat is, but it sounds scary) we give some advice on being friends with someone who reveals everyone else's deepest, darkest secrets, what to do when you're in love with your mailman, and a wedding gift drama that might not turn out the way you think.

The drink of the summer is ready to pre-order! We can't stress enough how refreshing and delicious the Negronna is, and with a bottle that was made to impress, you'll want to bring it to all your summer get-togethers. Pre-order it now and it begins shipping at the end of this week. Visit negronna.com or the link in our bio for details!

85 - A Little Bit of Vomit in Every Kiss with Jason Mantzoukas

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 07:00:00 -0000

How excited are we that summer is officially here? We can't wait to get to the Vineyard and sip Negronnas all season long. Unfortunately the Lobsterman won't be joining us, as (Bryan) and he have officially ended things, but you know who might join us in his place? This week's guest, the legendary Jason Mantzoukas! You know him from BIG MOUTH, PARKS AND REC, THE GOOD PLACE, and much, much more. He can be seen now in a new movie with Mark Wahlberg, excuse me, called INFINITE on Paramount + AND a new animated series on FOX called HOUSEBROKEN with Lisa Kudrow. Jason joins us to give advice on how to break it to your perfumier friend that their product stinks, what to do when you hate your daughter's fiance, and dating with an age gap.

The Negronna is coming! You'll be able to order an absolutely gorgeous bottle of this perfect summer cocktail starting June 18th at negronna.com. It's the closest thing you'll ever get to Ronna mixing you one personally. Don't miss out!

Now wait a minute. Are we excited or are we excited? Not only do we have a great show and an amazing guest, but we have an announcement so thrilling we can't even contain ourselves. After a quick conversation about the magic of Salonpas™️, we welcome to The Carriage House the absolutely fabulous Caleb Hearon! You know Caleb from his incredible Twitter and IG videos (Variety included him on its "10 Comics to Watch in 2020" list, excuse me) and as a writer for the upcoming BIG MOUTH spin-off, HUMAN RESOURCES. Caleb helps us give advice on Facebook invites, how to talk about addiction recovery, and being a boy from the big city in love with a small town guy.

So what's this big announcement we have? Joe Biden might call it a "big f*cking deal" if he were still allowed to swear. After months in the lab, we're SO thrilled to reveal the closest thing you'll ever get to a Negroni personally made for you by Ronna herself: it's the Negronna! In partnership with St. Agrestis in Brooklyn, we've come up with a perfectly mixed, boozey, bitter, and refreshing high-end cocktail that'll help you come out of quarantine in style. And with the absolute showstopper of a bottle it comes in, you'll be the life of any party you bring it to. We'll be drinking this in The Carriage House and on the Vineyard all summer, we can assure you! It's available for purchase on June 18th at Negronna.com, and will arrive just in time for the height of summer BBQ season. Stay tuned!

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 07:00:00 -0000

We have got an absolutely FABULOUS show this week, even if Dante might be trying to sabotage it.

82 - Kentucky Waterfall with the Doughboys

Tue, 25 May 2021 07:00:00 -0000

You'll have to pardon us as we start off this week with a minor crisis. (Bryan) is over-caffeinated it seems, but not even a triple shot of espresso can make us lose sight of what an absolutely spectacular time we're about to have in The Carriage House. We're so happy to welcome the hosts of the delightful DOUGHBOYS podcast, Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell! If you're a fan of podcasts and you're not a fan of these guys, you don't know what you're doing. Nick and Mike are here to help us give advice on dealing with a boyfriend with a mullet, telling a good friend you're not interested in going to their bachelorette party, and asking for a raise at work.

Tue, 11 May 2021 07:00:00 -0000

There is so much happening in the world right now, but we're DYING to know more about Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce. Who is this former lover that Bill has been spending time with in the Outer Banks? How long has this arrangement been going on? How will it affect their foundation's charitable giving? Enquiring minds! Needless to say, we're giving you a lot to put into your earhole wank bank this week (not our expression, excuse me). And if that weren't enough, we're also delighted to welcome to The Carriage House writer, comedian, and podcast host Jamie Loftus! You know Jamie from her podcast THE BECHDEL CAST and as an Emmy nominated writer for ROBOT CHICKEN, plus her hilarious presence on Twitter!

Thank you all for coming! It was a BLAST, but we're not done entertaining you this week. We're beyond excited to welcome to The Carriage House comedian, actress, and writer Greta Titelman! You know Greta from her podcast THE WORST as well as from HBO's quirky hit series LOS ESPOOKYS.

Have we got a show this week or what? First off, it's Comedy Week on Stitcher and we're absolutely thrilled to be included. And with (Bryan) back in The Carriage House again (and not off on a commercial shoot as Marblehead's most vaccinated actor), we thought it was the perfect time for a good old fashioned Carriage House Catch-Up.

We've had some heavy hitters on recently, including some high-ranking government officials (we're looking at you, Senior Advisor to President Biden on COVID Policy, Andy Slavitt, excuse me), but we may have outdone ourselves this time, and you deserve nothing less. Joining us in The Carriage House this week is none other than former mayor of San Antonio, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Obama, and our VERY FIRST Presidential candidate, the host of the podcast OUR AMERICA, The Honorable Julián Castro!

69 - Dear Ronna & Naomi with Naomi Ekperigin

Tue, 23 Feb 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Are you ready for some Carriage House firsts? We've had quite the week in Marblehead, excuse me. We had a HUGE guest planned for today, but they were affected by the horrible situation in Texas and had to cancel because they didn't have any power. Then, speaking of electricity, a power line went down right in front of The Carriage House and Ronna lost power! Public works got an earful from her, rest assured. So Ronna headed up to her brother's cabin in New Hampshire and (Bryan) stayed with the Lobsterman...who, it turns out, doesn't have any Internet. But the show must go on! No one can replace (Bryan), of course, but, in a Carriage House first, we had to find our first ever GUEST HOST, and, lucky for us, a favorite of ours was available. It's the always delightful Naomi Ekperigin! Naomi joins us to give advice on roommate problems, enjoying New York City as a first time visitor, and knowing more about a friend's relationship than the friend does.

Special guest host Naomi Ekperigin only subscribes to one Patreon. Who are the lucky recipients of her endorsement? Us, of course! And we couldn't be happier to win the Naomi seal of approval. Join us on Patreon for bonus episodes every Friday! patreon.com/askronna

There were plenty of Negronnas to go around, @roryography danced the night away, and we all know a little more about entertainment mogul (Bryan). Thanks so much to everyone who joined us! But if you think we're resting on our laurels after our success, think again. We've got a double dose of guests this week in The Carriage House as we welcome the hosts of the fascinating and hilarious BANANAS podcast, Kurt Braunohler and Scotty Landes! Kurt and Scotty help us give advice on dealing with a parent's overzealous dental hygiene, a sister-in-law who keeps using problematic language, and what to do when an ex owes you money.

64 - Swiss Cheese Model with Andy Slavitt

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 08:00:00 -0000

Now wait a minute. I mean did we return last week or did we return last week? Conan was a HUGE hit in The Carriage House and everyone was so excited, but there seemed to be an air of "Oh, Ronna (& Bryan) have outdone themselves." You should know we're always reaching for the stars here, excuse me. Our influence extends beyond the world of culture and entertainment, and, we hate to tell you, we delivered again. This week we welcome former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the Obama administration and current senior advisor on COVID-19 to the Biden administration Andy Slavitt! Andy, host of the podcast IN THE BUBBLE, answers our pandemic policy questions with detail and expertise, and then helps us give advice on dealing with a coworker who believes in dangerous conspiracy theories, the murky ethics of infidelity, and discovering that your friend is a plagiarist. We've never had a more topical guest!

It was a January Watch Party on Patreon last week! We watched Tonya Harding's "30 on 30" along with some of the most gorgeous (and infamous) figure skating routines of all time. And we had a LOT to say about it. Did you miss out? Join us for new episodes every Friday only on Patreon! Need any more incentive to join? Coming up on the 29th it's Carriage House Book Club with Brit Bennett's THE VANISHING HALF. patreon.com/askronna

Could the start of 2021 be any more exciting in The Carriage House? Yes, it can! We're so excited to announce our very first "Ask Ronna with Ronna (& Bryan) LIVE SHOW! It's on Saturday, February 13th. Lots of details to come, but mark your calendars now. Tickets go on sale NEXT WEEK. Stay tuned!

63 - It's a Bummer with Conan O'Brien

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 08:00:00 -0000

We're back! After our little hiatus from the Free Feed we're excited to get going again...though (Bryan) might be a little TOO excited (Ronna's going to have to pull every string she has at the town council to fix that). Zoom scandals aside, we have reason to be excited. We've teased you for weeks about our huge guest for the new year, and we think we've delivered in a BIG way, excuse me. Joining us in The Carriage House this week is the one, the only, the legendary Conan O'Brien! Conan helps us give advice on bringing up hurt feelings with friends, dealing with a friend who has a questionable love life, being in love with your boss, and what, exactly, the world's best toilet paper is.

Are you looking to pamper yourself in 2021? Join us on Patreon! In addition to an extra show every week, there are always other goodies thrown in as well. This week we'll be hosting a January Watch Party featuring some of the most famous (or infamous) figure skaters of all time. The grace! The beauty! The costumes! The scandal! We've got a lot to say about all of it. Join us at patreon.com/askronna

62 - Classic Cliffhangers: Only in 2020

Tue, 29 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

We made it! The last Free Feed of the year! We can't thank you all enough. We appreciate when you say that we helped you get through a rough year, but, really, it's us who should be thanking YOU. 2020 was a horror show, yes, but it also gave us some, shall we say, "interesting" cliffhangers...cliffhangers that could have only happened in this monstrosity of a year. So, without further ado, we present to you the next installment of Classic Cliffhangers: "Only in 2020!" Join us as we relive a sticky situation in the bedroom, a stuffed cat that may have been used to hit on a woman's husband, a klepto with a spelling problem, and a downstairs smoker who made quarantine a smelly hellscape. And don't forget you can watch the ENTIRE episode on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/askronna

As we mentioned, this is the last Free Feed of the year, and next week we'll be taking a short break...but when we come back fresh on January 12th, we'll have a guest so big it'll knock your socks off. And of course if you want to join us on Patreon (and why wouldn't you, excuse me), now's the time! Our break from the Free Feed won't stop us from releasing ALL NEW episodes on Patreon this week, next week, and beyond!

61 - Olfactorily Assaulted with Gayle Rankin

Tue, 22 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Ronna's house looks beautiful in ANY season, excuse me...but there really is nothing like seeing it wrapped in a blanket of fresh snow. Marblehead is stunningly gorgeous after this week's snowfall, even if (Bryan) needs a moment to 'settle his feathers' before he can fully appreciate it. And speaking of being appreciative, how blessed are we to welcome Gayle Rankin to The Carriage House this week! You know her from PERRY MASON, GLOW, HER SMELL, THE GREATEST SHOWMAN, and more. Gayle helps us give advice on balancing work and parental caregiving while also being the parent of a newborn, what to do when your best friend wants you to leave your boyfriend to be with her, and how to tell a coworker they smell bad. And you'll definitely want to join us on Patreon once you hear one of the most BONKERS cliffhangers we've had in a while.

Speaking of Patreon, you'll all continue to get a new show every Friday through the holidays (we're especially excited to give you a little Christmas surprise this week). As for the Free Feed, we'll be taking a break during the first week of January, but we'll be back on January 12th with a guest too big to be believed. Stay tuned!

The Ask Ronna Coffee Gift Boxes are officially sold out! We hope you were able to snag one! Of course, Ask Ronna Coffee is still available, and, if you fell in love with the Ronnukah Blend, we have good news: while you won't be able to buy it individually after December 31st, you can still get it as part of a subscription if you sign up before the end of the month! Subscribers save $3 a bag and can cancel at any time.

60 - Eighty Dozen Christmas Cookies with SuChin Pak & Kulap Vilaysack

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Ronna is absolutely glowing today. Maybe it's her fresh cut peonies, or maybe it's the oil from all the latkes she's been making. In any event, everyone in The Carriage House is in high spirits! And what better way to keep things festive than with our second week in a row of having TWO guests! This week we welcome SuChin Pak and, back for her second time in The Carriage House, excuse me, the absolutely delightful Kulap Vilaysack! SuChin and Kulap are hosts of the new podcast ADD TO CART, a subversive take on consumerism that digs into what we buy and what it says about who we are. They're also here to help us answer questions on letting your nanny go during the pandemic, baking 80 dozen (!!) cookies for your possibly unappreciative friends, and helping your partner continue to feel eager on the journey to sobriety.

A little housekeeping: while we'll continue to have new episodes on Patreon through the holidays, we'll be taking a little break on the Free Feed during the first week of January. But when we come back on January 12th, we'll be joined in The Carriage House by a HUGE guest. 2021 is starting off with a bang in Marblehead, we can promise you.

Want one of our GORGEOUS Ask Ronna Coffee Gift Boxes (as featured in Vulture, excuse me)? You better get one quick! Supplies are limited and they're selling fast. Go to askronnacoffee.com and get them while you still can.

Join us in the Patreon Carriage House for bonus episodes every Friday. A Sauna Privileges membership gets you video podcasts, and much more. Plus, $2 from every Sauna Privileges membership this month goes to Feeding America. patreon.com/askronna

59 - Four Hours, Two States with Kara Klenk & Liza Treyger

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

We have a very rare treat in The Carriage House this week, as we're joined by not one but TWO special guests, though Ronna has some trepidation in having two nice Jewish girls on to talk about murder (isn't that against the Talmud?). But when the guests are this witty and fabulous, who cares! This week we welcome the multi-hyphenate talents of Kara Klenk and Liza Treyger! You know them from their stand-up specials on Comedy Central and Netflix , but they're joining forces for "That's Messed Up: An SVU Podcast" that breaks down episodes of "Law and Order: SVU" and dives into the true crimes they're based on. Kara and Liza are here to help us give advice on breaking up with your first love, whether to bring your estranged father into the lives of your children, and being in love with your best friend.

As you heard on the Ronnukuh episode, we have a new sponsor for the month! Rare Tea Cellar in Chicago specializes in the finest and rarest tea and gourmet ingredients in the world, and they've teamed up with Ronna (& Bryan) to curate some special gift sets just for you!

58 - Ronnukah 2020!

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Ronnukah, O Ronnukah, come light the menorah! It's finally here! We've been busy for weeks curating a list of our favorite gifts for the holiday season, and we think you won't be disappointed. If you don't have any gift ideas after this, then we don't know what to tell you, excuse me. Our suggestions run the gamut from the simplest and most inexpensive of presents all the way to our fantasy gifts (it won't be long before Ronna is cruising around the Vineyard in her new Land Rover). Don't forget, this is a "scratch and sniff" episode! Look for some trivia questions about the episode to be posted later. Answer them correctly for a chance to win some VERY exciting gifts. We're very happy to announce that Rare Tea Cellar, a purveyor of some of the finest and rarest teas and ingredients in the world, has partnered with us and is offering specially curated gourmet gift boxes just for our listeners! And, if that's not enough, you can use the offer code BRYAN to get 20% off your first order. They supply some of the finest restaurants in the world. It doesn't get better than this. Now for an exciting coffee-related announcement… The gift boxes and Ronnukah Blend continue to fly off the shelves, but we also have a special holiday thank you for December: all coffee subscriptions this month will receive a FREE Ask Ronna “The Carriage House” coffee scoop & clip! The same one that comes in all of the gift boxes! It acts as both a scoop and a clip to help keep your coffee fresh. It's practical and chic, and, if you subscribe, comes FREE with your order. askronnacoffee.com

57 - Classic Cliffhangers: Family Matters

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Now, wait a minute. Are we Thankful. How did we get this far? There were moments we thought we wouldn't get here, but we kept going, and, with some hard work and a LOT of support from you, we're still going strong over one year later AND we're able to bring you the best selling Hanukkah blend ever! Talk about a lot to be thankful for, excuse me.

This past summer's installment of Classic Cliffhangers was such a hit we wanted to bring you Volume 2 for the holiday! These cliffhangers were mentioned on the Free Feed, but only answered on Patreon, and they are, as (Bryan) puts it, a real "Dooze McBooze." Classic Cliffhangers: Vol. 2 involves, appropriately enough for Thanksgiving, problems with family. We tackle four of our most outrageous letters, including finding your cousin's husband on Tinder, the most insensitively decorated powder room in all of Canada, being stalked by your wife on your home security camera, and, maybe our favorite of all time, discovering your preachy father-in-law secretly smoking your used cigarette butts. If this doesn't want to make you join us in The Carriage House every Friday on Patreon, we don't know what will! patreon.com/askronna

And, as our Thanksgiving gift to you, the ENTIRE episode will be available to watch on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/askronna . Enjoy!

As we mentioned, the Ronnukah Blend is a HUGE hit! And our Ask Ronna Coffee gift boxes are as delightful as can be, and they'd make an amazing gift for the coffee lover in your life. Visit askronnacoffee.com for all the details!

Tue, 17 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0000

2020 may have been a trying year (to say the least, excuse me), but the end of it is shaping up to be a VERY exciting time in The Carriage House! We're getting ready to end the year with a bang, and who better to join us as we kick it all off than actress and TV maestra Lennon Parham! You know Lennon from her work on PLAYING HOUSE, BLESS THIS MESS, VEEP, WOMP IT UP and so much more. Lennon helps us answer questions about dealing with family members who don't share your politics, apartment searching, and being a newly single parent looking for ways to balance responsibility and self-care during the pandemic.

As we mentioned, there's SO much happening in The Carriage House in the next month! First off, the Ronnukuh Blend is here! It's a stunning organic chocolate mocha inspired by the gelt enjoyed during the Festival of Lights. Available for a limited time, it's not to be missed! Get it TODAY at askronnacoffee.com

55 - Classy, Bougie, Ratchet with Dan Savage

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0000

This past week has felt like a MONTH, excuse me. We couldn't be happier now, but we recorded this episode the day before the race was called. We were feeling good, but still on pins and needles. What better way to pass the time as we awaited results in The Carriage House than with our very special guest, author, journalist, activist, and internationally renowned columnist Dan Savage! Dan, no stranger to giving advice, of course, helped us answer questions about age differences in relationships, befriending a former lover's ex after a tragedy, and how to cope with your child being friends with someone whose parents are incredibly controlling.

We have SO many exciting things happening in the next month that are certain to make your holidays a bit brighter. You'll all find out in due time, but, if you want exclusive access to what promises to be a month to remember, become a Carriage House insider and join us on Patreon!

54 - Best Friend Taste Test with Sabrina Jalees

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 08:00:00 -0000

We admit it...we're on edge. Today is SUCH an important day. We voted (several times in Ronna's case) and (Bryan) is downing Advil and Prozac to get through the evening. We figured it was too fraught to have an American on the show today, so instead we have a delightful Canadian! We welcome actor, comedian, writer, producer (talk about 'multi-hyphenate,' excuse me) Sabrina Jalees! You know her from CAROL'S SECOND ACT on CBS as well from her stand-up specials and impressive list of writing and producing credits (SEARCH PARTY, HARLEY QUINN, CANADA'S GOT TALENT...the list goes on). Sabrina is here to help us give advice on navigating a "Groundhog Day" relationship, proper grief etiquette, and reading plays at home.

VOTE. And then be sure to snap a selfie with your #coffeeandvote sticker and tag us on Instagram! Let the world know you have both a sense of civic responsibility and fabulous taste in coffee. askronnacoffee.com

Her new album, A GIRL LIKE ME: LETTERS TO MY LOVERS, is out now! After a quick catch up with (Bryan)'s Lobsterman situation (he wants to open up the relationship with an unlikely third person), Peppermint helps us give advice on fashion, sibling rivalry, and accidentally posting nudes on Instagram.

52 - Cheetos Can Be Self-Care with Cody Rigsby

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Now, wait a minute. We're a bit out of breath because we had to do a quick 20 minutes on our Peloton right before the show. But we're warmed up and ready to welcome Ronna's personal Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby to The Carriage House! After a quick report on what's sure to be a lawsuit from Yadvina (maybe Ronna does need an HR person after all), Cody helps us give advice on long distance relationships, anxiety dreams, and the art of the dick pic.

Of course Ask Ronna Coffee is still a hit. Of course you should subscribe to get $3 off per bag with free domestic shipping (cancel at any time). And our #coffeeandvote stickers are now shipping! Tag us in a pic once you’ve voted! askronnacoffee.com

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Could the news be any crazier these days? Really? Excuse me? Not possible, but this week we are as up to the minute as we can possibly be thanks to our very special guest, host of ALL THINGS CONSIDERED on NPR, Ari Shapiro! After a quick update on (Bryan)'s fall TV favorites (please heed Wendy Williams' advice and protect yourself from the CORNOVA virus), Ari helps us answer questions about decorating your home on a budget, finding a more welcoming place to live, and whether or not you should hang out with your masseuse socially.

Now, wait a minute. We've reached a true milestone this week. It's our 50th show on the Free Feed! And have we got a treat for you. We've had some big guests lately, but now we're moving into huge.

Mr. Feig joins us in The Carriage House to help us give advice on how many times is too many to move for your husband's job, planning something special for a proposal, and gift ideas for someone about to undergo medical treatment.

Many of you know Paul Feig has his own brand of gin, Artingstall's, and, from it's packaging to its taste, it's spectacular. To help celebrate our 50th show, we want you to get inspired and create a gin cocktail just for us! Post your Ronna, Bryan or Ask Ronna (& Bryan) inspired beverage to IG. When we get enough of them, we'll choose our favorite. Be sure to tag @askronna so we know to look out for it!

49 - How Often Should I Wash My Sheets with Clarissa Ward

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Wait a minute. There's no way you're ready for this. Clearly we've risen to a level of quality you can't handle. For this week's episode, we put on our newscaster hair and brushed up on world affairs as we welcome CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward to The Carriage House! Her new book, ON ALL FRONTS, covers her life on the front lines of today's power centers and hot zones. Clarissa takes a break from her very important work to help us answer questions on what to do with your bridal shower gifts if your engagement is called off, what skincare products are good at addressing prolonged mask wearing, going back to your old job if you hate your new one, and how often to clean your linens and towels.

If you read our Instagram post this past weekend (and, really, as a listener, you should already be subscribed) then you know the good news: we're officially VERIFIED!! Which means you're also verified! This is a collective win for The Carriage House, and we can't thank you enough.

Three words: Ask Ronna Coffee. The perfect vessel to drink it in? Three more words: Kiss Kiss Mug. They're both flying off the shelves. Get the former at askronnacoffee.com (subscribe and save $3 per bag!) and get the latter at podswag.com/askronna while supplies last.

Ronna's got her coffee. (Bryan)'s got his Crystal Light (and vodka?). We're ready to go! After a thorough rundown of Catherine Zeta-Jones' insane backyard hat dance on Instagram, we welcome back our first "repeat customer" to The Carriage House, actress and comedian Arden Myrin! In addition to her podcast WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE?, she also has a new book called LITTLE MISS LITTLE COMPTON that is an absolutely delightful read! Arden helps us answer questions about navigating the line between self care and self pity after a bad break-up, what to do when you're continuously overpaid at work, and getting something fun and unique for your house as a first time home owner.

The wait. Is. Over. AS SEEN IN THE CARRIAGE HOUSE, it's the Kiss Kiss Mug! The IDEAL drinking vessel for your Ask Ronna Coffee, or any other beverage, excuse me.

We're so thrilled to welcome expert baker, season one champion of the GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF, and author of the new cookbook ONE TIN BAKES, Edd Kimber! After some light banter about parallel parking and the differences between Darwinian and Lamarckian evolution, Edd joins us to give advice on what to do when your boyfriend's demanding job begins to get in the way of your relationship, how to celebrate your 30th birthday in style during a pandemic, and how to delicately tell your boyfriend that his artwork doesn't belong on your walls.

(Bryan) is giving us "lobster eyes," which must mean that he wants us to get our very own Harry's Home-Delivered Lobsters t-shirt! Business is booming, so get yours at teepublic.com/stores/askronna

45 - Classic Cliffhangers: Carnal Knowledge

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Here we are with ANOTHER Carriage House first. Free Feed listeners know that we read a cliffhanger at the end of each episode to be answered on that week's Patreon show. Now, for the first time ever, we're releasing some of our most outrageous cliffhanger questions and answers to the Free Feed! Talk about Free Feed Behavior, excuse me. For our first volume of Classic Cliffhangers, we're really earning our "'E' for explicit" rating (though Ronna might not be very pleased with the staff that compiled it all). It's "Carnal Knowledge," and these are the most hot under the collar questions we've ever received, including the dilemma of the molested minister, the massage table mishap, the STI Guy, and, maybe our most risqué question ever, the saga of the SLUTZ.

As if you needed more proof that you're missing out every Friday, this is it! Come join us in the Carriage House on Patreon! Just five bucks gets you Carriage House access, and ten gets you SAUNA PRIVILEGES, which includes video, Bryan's Body Parts, and the "Ronna Reads" series. New episodes every Friday!

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Pour your coffee and put on your tap shoes and short shorts, because we've got a lot to cover in The Carriage House this week!

You know him from "Orphan Black" and the show "Carter" on IMDb TV. Kristian is here to help us answer questions about taking time off to get perspective on a very complicated relationship, how to deal with a flaky but possibly vengeful landscaper, how to ask someone you barely know if you can use their gorgeous marble bathtub, and how to talk to girls when you're a ten year old boy...who also happens to be Ronna's nephew. If you're not following @AskRonna on social media, first of all, how dare you? Secondly, follow us! Help Ronna get that blue checkmark.

(Bryan) may be a bit under the weather today, but it's nothing a little Tylenol and red wine can't handle (though Yadvina is standing by with the neti pot, just in case). Once (Bryan) is breathing easy, it's on to an absolutely delightful time in The Carriage House! This week we welcome SNL alum and star of SPREE and the upcoming WOKE (with Lamorne Morris, excuse me) Sasheer Zamata! Sasheer helps us give out advice on whether to buy an Airstream Travel Trailer, how to navigate the complexities of a good friend’s role in your wedding party, and what to do with a very personal message from a friend's family member...two years after it was written.

It seems Harry the Lobsterman isn't selling many lobsters these days...or any lobsters, for that matter. But he's staying flexible, and he's willing to adapt while he keeps his eye on the prize. So he's now in the t-shirt business…with an eye to the lobster business! Visit teepublic.com/stores/askronna to see the wide selection of t-shirts on offer. Get yours today and help a man realize his dream of home-delivered lobsters around the world...or at least the Marblehead metro area.

Unlike Harry's Lobsters, Ask Ronna Coffee is a huge hit! And now all shipments come with a little added bonus of Ronna's Kiss Kiss stickers. They're adorable! Get your subscription today at askronnacoffee.com and save $3 per bag, and, of course, shipping is always free on domestic coffee orders.

What a week it's been! As we nurse our hangovers from all your boozy COVID Kiki recommendations, we can't thank you enough for making it such a success!

But now it's time to clean up the mess in the Carriage House and welcome actor, comedian, and prolific podcast host Jon Gabrus! Jon helps us give advice on how to handle a sister who's struggling with mental illness, what to do when an opinionated friend disapproves of your relationship, and how to stop the waking terror that is Tigger the Asshole Cat.

PLUS, join us this Friday on Patreon when Jon Gabrus becomes our VERY FIRST guest to crossover from the free feed to Patreon! He’ll put his “Action Boyz” skills to work, and help us discuss this week's Quarantine International Film Festival (QUIFF) summer blockbusters JAWS and TERMINATOR 2! Just $5 a month, and $10 gets you SAUNA PRIVILEGES aka access to the video podcast! $2 from every Sauna Privileges membership will once again go to World Central Kitchen, who are helping to feed people and aid workers devastated by the explosion in Beirut.

39 - A Little Va-Va-Va Voom with Naomi Ekperigin & Andy Beckerman

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 07:00:00 -0000

It's chaos at The Carriage House! Ronna's driveway is being repaved, (Bryan) can't stand the noise, Jürgen and the Lobsterman might come to full on fisticuffs, and Ronna is livid about not having a blue checkmark on Instagram...and where's a Googler when you need one? Luckily, with the help of Kris Kristofferson fantasies and the oil rig sex appeal of Stellan Skarsgård, we're able to pull ourselves together before we welcome a pair of absolutely delightful guests, from the podcast COUPLE'S THERAPY, Andy Beckerman and Naomi Ekperigin! They help us give advice on a range of prickly problems, including whether or not to stay in a relationship that needs some va-va-va voom, what happens when you find out your son is in an open marriage, and dealing with a needy dog during family mealtime.

It's been a long year, we know, and we think it's time for a little midsummer celebration. Do you have any plans next Tuesday August 4th? No? Then let's have a kiki...a COVID Kiki in The Carriage House! Ronna (& Bryan) want to share the details and finer points of their social distancing, and they want to hear from you! How are you getting through quarantine? Food? Drinks? Recipes? Music? Activities? Online buys? Let us know what's giving you that extra boost. Send us mail at askronna@gmail.com or post and tag us on social media, and we'll share all our ideas at the kiki. Will there be special guests? Probably! Will there be gifts and giveaways? Of course! Don't miss it!

Please help Ronna get the blue checkmark she deserves. Be sure to follow @askronna on Instagram, if you haven't already, and tell your friends!

38 - The Worst Grandma with Lamorne Morris

Tue, 21 Jul 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Is Marblehead in the midst of a summer crime wave? The smashed window of (Bryan)'s BMW rental (pardon me) seems to suggest so. And we thought the only thing we had to worry about here were the lobster fighting rings. Not to worry, though. It's Ronna's BMW guy, Jürgen, to the rescue! Then we're joined in The Carriage House by none other than actor, comedian, TV star, and now MOVIE star Lamorne Morris! You know him from NEW GIRL, but he's also got an upcoming Hulu series called WOKE, not to mention the #1 movie on Netflix right now DESPERADOS (featuring one or two other familiar faces). Lamorne helps us grapple with some particularly tough issues this week, like dealing with a flaky friend, how to handle an estranged grandma, and how to stand up to a belligerent guest.

Want more of Ronna (& Bryan)? Join us on Patreon every Friday for bonus episodes! We've got the Carriage House Book Club on July 31st (Sidney Sheldon's THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT), and we're also continuing our Quarantine International Film Festival (QUIFF).

37 - Take a 'Butt Breath' with Paul Scheer

Tue, 14 Jul 2020 07:00:00 -0000

I think we determined long ago that this was the "mogul" podcast, excuse me. And we're not disappointing this week with our special guest, actor, comedian, writer, producer, and podcaster Paul Scheer! It was a fabulous holiday at Ronna's house in the Vineyard. (Bryan) was so well behaved as a guest in the art barn that he might actually be invited back! But for now we're all back in Marblehead, and Paul joins us in The Carriage House to give advice on how to make a coronavirus diverted wedding in a public park not feel like a consolation prize, what to do when your roommate is terrible at washing his hands during the pandemic, and how to navigate the delicate terrain of a family member who follows porn accounts on Twitter but doesn't realize everyone can see who he follows, including his own family.

Tue, 07 Jul 2020 07:00:00 -0000

No. Absolutely not. You're not ready for this. Our very special guest this week is entrepreneur, podcast host, New York Times best-selling author thirteen times over (pardon me), and creator of the Hungry Girl brand Lisa Lillien! After we dive into our quarantine indulgences (“The Price is Right,” dreaming about cycling through the south of France, and the auras of Steve Harvey and Dr. Phil), Lisa helps us give advice on the right time to disclose your pregnancy during a job interview process and the best seafood to have delivered. Plus, something we haven't had in a while: a caller! We help her with the thorny issue of an in-law growing more and more impatient (and angry) over quarantine rules and social distancing with the grandbaby. And once the advice is doled out, Lisa gives us a few of her favorite quarantine recipes, like the Big Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie in a Mug. Yes, please! How good is Ask Ronna Coffee?

We’re giving all kinds of LOVE advice, like whether to open up a relationship in which one partner is bisexual (...and infatuated with her current boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend...), how to navigate your first major break-up, and whether or not you should reveal your romantic feelings to a good friend right before moving away. Plus, Ronna (& Bryan) hash out their holiday weekend plans for the Vineyard (socially distanced and after a quick black market COVID test, of course). LOTS to discuss!

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 07:00:00 -0000

It's finally arrived! After MONTHS of experimenting and tasting and quaffing, we're ready to share with you the fruits of our labor: the official Ask Ronna Coffee blends are here!

You know him from MODERN LOVE and BIG MOUTH, as well as the upcoming FEEL THE BEAT on Netflix. This week, Ronna may have started the day in a mood, but it was nothing a little Carriage House Blend and the Lobsterman’s homemade banana bread couldn't handle. After some sweater talk and a quick lesson on how to pronounce "Ronna" in Hebrew, Brandon joins us to dish out advice on how to stay firm when your neighbor wants to break your quarantine and what to do when your tryst turns into a betrayal. Plus, a question from a long-time listener about how to talk about race.

Coyote is (thank you, Bryan), Kulap helps us with some particularly delicate issues, including how to deal with a codependent coworker, how to let your boss know what a big mistake it was to let you go, and how to maintain an "adults only" swimming pool (not, we assure you, for pornagraphic purposes). Mix in a bizarre cliffhanger about home security cameras, two new verses to the infamous Brunello ringtone, and a fabulous cast iron skillet as this week's giveaway, and you’ll want to raise a Negronna to this show!

You know him from THE OFFICE, PARKS AND REC, THE GOOD PLACE, and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, but he and Ronna go way back.

In this XL episode, we opine on what to do when your dog sitters drink your entire wine collection, dating your roommate's brother, the curse of being able to give amazing blowjobs, and how to deal with a partner's eating habits when you have misophonia...plus another thorny cliffhanger.
