Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

Alie Ward, Renee Colvert and I are going to begin kickboxing and we're very excited about all the vignettes. Alie tells us about the time she was held up at knifepoint and I share a similarly traumatic story. Then we get to know ourselves via a couple personality quizzes from this book right here click this link unless you're reading this in your podcast app which doesn't have a link. It's called Kokology and a listener told me about it. We also talk about Alie's new house, Penn Jillette's ear, martial arts, b-fans, Wendy's paws, bed sizes, honky tonkin' in and so much more.
