Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute...you've heard us teasing it, you've seen the poster, and now it's here: the COVID Kiki! Sit back, relax with a nice cup of coffee (you know where to get it), or maybe even a Stone-fruit Sangria, and let us share all our ideas with you for getting through quarantine with a level of luxury that only Ronna Glickman (& Bryan) can provide. We'll cover it all, from daily rituals to recipes to accessories to home-delivered lobsters...and everything in between. And be sure to listen carefully and follow us on IG, as we have some AMAZING giveaways that we're sending to a few lucky (and attentive) listeners. Kiki? Oui oui! As if that wasn't enough, excuse me, we're doing something we've NEVER done before...we're releasing video of the ENTIRE episode for FREE on our YouTube channel! If you want to see what Ronna (& Bryan) are recommending for the COVID Kiki, go to youtube.com/askronna and indulge! And be sure to follow us on Instagram. Not only will you get great content, but you'll also help Ronna obtain that elusive blue checkmark! 💋💋 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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! Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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? All beans have been personally fingered by Ronna herself!

Have we got a real #freefeedbehavior show this week or what? Joining us in The Carriage House is the Scam Goddess herself, actress, comedian, podcast host and all around delight Laci Mosley! 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! The Ask Ronna Coffee blends continue flying off the shelves! Roasted the same day it's shipped, try either the Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla...or both! askronnacoffee.com Pride Month is almost over!

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! And as if that wasn't enough to make this week's episode a must-listen, we've also got writer, actor, speaker, and activist Brandon Kyle Goodman with us in The Carriage House! 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. Want to wake up every morning and feel like you're in the Carriage House? Get your Ask Ronna Coffee blends at askronnacoffee.com ! Available in the Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla. Pride Month is still in full swing!

**This week we welcome multi-hyphenate talent (actor/writer/producer/director/comedian) Kulap Vilaysack to The Carriage House! You know her as the creator of BAJILLION DOLLAR PROPERTIE$, director of her autobiographical documentary ORIGIN STORY, and host of the long-running podcast WHO CHARTED?. After a lesson on how to mix a proper Negronna (thank you, Ronna) and just how sexy Wile E. 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! Pride Month means that our limited edition Pride Icons T is now available! Get one now at podswag.com/askronna And, as always, join us at patreon.com/askronna for bonus episodes every Friday.

**This week in The Carriage House, it's Hollywood meets Boston meets Hollywood again as we welcome television mogul (#excuseme) Mike Schur! You know him from THE OFFICE, PARKS AND REC, THE GOOD PLACE, and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, but he and Ronna go way back. After some catching up (what does Ronna hate more: her middle name or bath bombs?), it's advice time. 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. And our giveaway this week is a beautiful box of Claus Porto hand soaps straight from Liberty London! https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/guest-soap-box-R304986006.html **This episode was previously recorded.
