Ask Ronna

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...

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'...

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...

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...

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...

We have got an absolutely FABULOUS show this week, even if Dante might be trying to sabotage it. After some mind-blowing Hollywood gossip (Ronna is gobsmacked to learn that Tyne and Tim Daly are siblings), we welcome to The Carriage House director, writer, and producer extraordinaire Lucia Aniello! You know her from her work on Comedy Central's BROAD CITY, the movie ROUGH NIGHT, and as the creator...

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...

So...we had an epiphany this week. We felt we needed to get back to basics, and for Ronna (& Bryan) to spend some quality time together on the Free Feed, just the two of them. It's time for a Mental Health Day...an intimate Carriage House Catch-Up to reconnect and refresh. And we've got a catch-up for the ages!  Chunky smoothies, slutty summers, Sherman, Zabar's rats, and more. Plus we give advice...

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...

It's a good thing we've purveyors of some of the best coffee around, pardon me, because we'll need a few cups to deal with our spectacular and vivacious guest this week! After a little conversation about honeycrisp apples and a trip through (Bryan)'s laundry, we welcome to The Carriage House none other than drag performer, recording artist, and winner of the second season of "Drag Race All-Stars"...

Now, wait a minute. This is it. The time has arrived. One of our most eagerly anticipated guests we've ever had in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is none other than "instant" New York Times Bestseller (just add water) Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney! Her second book, GOOD COMPANY, is out now, and it's a must-read smash hit. Cynthia is eager to make her Free Feed debut, and she doesn't disappoint...

Now, wait a minute. We may be exhausted from this past weekend (Ronna's tootsies are still hurting) but it's only because we hit it out of the waterpark with our Oscars Preview Party Live Show (if you'll pardon (Bryan)'s mixed metaphor). 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,...

Now wait a minute. You know her as Ronna. A few people call her Ronnie, and only Andy Cohen calls her Rona, but, whatever you call her, she and (Bryan) are here this week with a truly fabulous guest. We're so excited to welcome comedian, writer, and presenter London Hughes to The Carriage House! You know her from her Netflix special TO CATCH A DICK as well as her appearances on THE HISTORY OF SWEA...

Look, we receive hundreds of letters a month here at Ask Ronna. But with the number of letters we get about issues of the boudoir, we might be two steps away from becoming the Penthouse Forum. Not that we're complaining! You've written in with some, shall we say, titillating questions during the pandemic, and, as you know, we save our most titillating letters for our cliffhangers. So, without furt...

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. And, between you and me, I think we deliver in spades! After cover...

Now wait a minute. First off, yes, (Bryan) is back with us after his star turn as the new face of Barry's Tow Trucks, but we have GOT to get to our guest today. 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...

After getting a Sputnik vaccine from Yadvina's husband, (Bryan) is off shooting a commercial for a local business in Marblehead and isn't with us this week. Of course he'll be back next week, but, until then, we've managed to find an absolutely delightful celebrity guest/host, excuse me... star of PLAYING HOUSE, host of the upcoming podcast DEEP DIVE, and Ronna's dear, dear friend Jessica St. Clai...

This week we welcome to The Carriage House utterly delightful writer, actor, and host of the wonderful podcast I SAID NO GIFTS, Bridger Winegar! He helps us give our pearls of wisdom on topics ranging from body image to befriending neighbors to suspicions about a spouse with the "itch." Some exciting things are happening over on Patreon! March's QUIFF selections are past Oscar winners THE APARTMEN...

With his Wi-Fi mishap from last week behind him, we're happy to report that (Bryan) is back! And not a moment too soon as we welcome a living legend to The Carriage House. There's no way you're ready for this guest. Brace yourselves! We're thrilled to welcome legendary comedian, actor, and producer Margaret Cho! Now THIS is a get, excuse me. Margaret joins us to give advice to an essential worker...

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, re...

Now wait a minute. Was last weekend great or was it great? The Live Show was a HUGE hit! 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 i...

Baby, it's cold outside! Marblehead has been slammed with yet more snow. It's gorgeous, though (Bryan) has an awkward quandary he wants to raise at the next town council meeting that's sure to win him lifelong friends. In the meantime, we've got another multi-talented guest in The Carriage House this week. It's actor, model, comedian, and host Sydnee Washington! You know her from her Comedy Centra...

Now wait a minute. How excited are we this week? We're a mere ten days away from our live show (we're polishing our tap shoes as we speak), it's Groundhog Day (and we're feeling good), and we're welcoming a return character back to The Carriage House. That's right...after proving herself as one of the best advice givers we've ever had on the show, she's back to grace us with her insight and wisdom...

Now, wait a minute. How fabulous was the inauguration? The history...the pageantry...the fashion...Amanda Gorman. We LOVED it. Some exciting things are in store! And speaking of excitement, we couldn't be happier to welcome actor and comedian Cole Escola to The Carriage House! You know Cole from AT HOME WITH AMY SEDARIS, DIFFICULT PEOPLE, and, one of Ronna's favorite shows, SEARCH PARTY (new seaso...

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 del...
