Ask Ronna

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...

Now wait a minute. This week's guest can truly be called a real "GETthard," pardon me. We're thrilled to welcome to The Carriage House none other than actor, comedian, and writer Chris Gethard!  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...

Now wait a minute. Even (Bryan)'s glassy eyes can't diminish the shine of this week's show. We've got a true quadruple threat joining us this week, pardon me. We're thrilled to welcome to The Carriage House comedian, producer, writer, and actor Larry Wilmore!  Of course you know Larry from his work on THE DAILY SHOW, THE NIGHTLY SHOW, THE BERNIE MAC SHOW, INSECURE, and so, so much more. But he's a...

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...

Now wait a minute. We're joined this week by none other than Mr. Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney: it's Mike Sweeney! Mike is, of course, not only one of our dearest and closest friends, but also a pillar of late night American comedy. For decades he's worked with Conan O'Brien as a writer and producer and is responsible for, quite literally, thousands of hours of entertainment, pardon me. We're so excited...

Where in the world is Ronna Marlene Glickman? (Bryan) doesn't know and, of course, is totally fine with that. She'll return next week, but, until then, we've got a fabulous guest host this week. Joining us in The Carriage House is the absolutely fabulous Michelle Collins! If you're not listening to The Michelle Collins Show on Patreon, you are missing out on so, so much in life. Go listen now! pat...

Now wait a minute. We're just getting right into it this week since you'd all rather spend the hour with our guests than with us, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House are none other than our DEAR friends Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman! If you're not listening to their smash hit podcast COUPLES THERAPY, then we don't know what you're doing with your life. Naomi and Andy help us give advi...

Now wait a minute. We've got a Return to Oz situation here, as we welcome back to the podcast one of our favorite guests. This week we're so happy to celebrate the return of the one and only Carl Tart! Be sure to catch Carl's podcasts GOSSIP KINGS and THE FLAGRANT ONES. Carl joins us to give advice on a significant other who attends underwear parties and a codependent friendship for the ages. We c...

Now wait a minute. Ronna's Ashkenazi sneeze reflex is tingling, and (Bryan) is jet lagged like you wouldn't believe, but we've got a FABULOUS show this week. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than actor, writer, and comedian Connor Ratliff! You know Connor from his smash hit podcast DEAD EYES about being fired by Tom Hanks. He's also got not one, not two, but THREE shows coming up at...

Of thee we sing! What better way to celebrate Independence Day than by counting down the days until we go back to the place we broke away from? We're just ten short days away from Ronna (& Bryan) LIVE in London, but until then, we've got a STELLAR Carriage House Catch-Up this week. After some top notch Austria travel advice (Ronna's got you covered if you ever visit, excuse me), we give advice on...

Now wait a minute. We're starting to develop a theory that members of The State are all spectacular at giving advice. I mean, what else could explain JoLo's heartfelt two cents as well as this week's guest's incredible and warm insight? Get ready for comedy royalty...the cream of the crop, the top of the heap. Joining us this week is none other than the fabulous Kerri Kenney-Silver! Aside from The...

Now wait a minute. Ronna doesn't know what's more horrifying: that (Bryan) has put ice in his Negroni or that he thinks the title of this episode means something VERY different than what she thinks it means. In any event, have we got some fun in store for you this week or what? It's time for some Classic Cliffhangers, and these cliffhangers really shocked us. First up is Liesel the frog killer, wh...

Now wait a minute. Ronna's got her volume turned up to 11, and it's no wonder. We've got a guest this week that'll knock your socks off. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than sports commentator and journalist Katie Nolan! She was formerly at ESPN and created content for NBC Sports, and, most recently, was a commentator for Apple TV+'s Friday Night Baseball. Katie joins us to give adv...

Now wait a minute. The word "icon" is thrown around a lot these days, but we have an honest to goodness icon in The Carriage House this week. Joining us is none other than legendary model and writer Paulina Porizkova! Paulina's book, NO FILTER: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE BEAUTIFUL is out now. Paulina helps us give advice on dealing with a pair of husbands; one in a sticky situation involving his m...

Now wait a minute. Why didn’t anyone tell us there was a hit true crime podcast telling stories that rival Ms. Jessica Fletcher herself?  There’s a new podcast in Cabot Cove, and it’s Murder, She Told! Murder, She Told is an award-winning true-crime podcast created by Kristen Seavey, that dives into the lesser-known cold cases and true crime stories from New England, and beyond.  Murder, She Told...

Now wait a minute. How lucky are we to have nabbed one of our favorite people in all of showbiz to join us in The Carriage House this week? We're THRILLED to welcome none other than actor Tony Hale! You know him from his legendary work on VEEP and ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and he joins us from Rome this week where he's filming a Netflix adaptation of the classic Italian collection of stories THE DECAM...

Now wait a minute. Ronna's got a bone to pick...and yes, (Bryan), she's going to start the show like this. After a short tirade on the old fashionedness of the Today Show, we get to this week's incredible guest. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, ever heard of it? THE STATE and RENO 911, ever heard of 'em? This guy's a get, and we're thrilled to have him. It's Joe Lo Truglio! And now he can add "director" to his...

Now wait a minute. Ronna was suffering from a migraine earlier this week and had to reschedule the recording of the show. Unfortunately, (Bryan) couldn't make it. Fortunately, the lovely Adam O'Byrne, producer extraordinaire, could! Unfortunately, he's being very short and bossy with Ronna. Fortunately, she still loves the old fool anyway. Fantastic Adam joins us to give advice on breaking news to...

Look, Ronna refuses to be yelled at and made to feel guilty about living a fabulous life. Is she coming at us this week from the Ham Yard Hotel in London? Yes. Is (Bryan) insanely jealous? Of course. But do we have a fabulous guest to help ease his pain? You better believe it, excuse me. Joining us in The Carriage House is critically acclaimed comedian, author, actor, and close friend of Scarlett...

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...

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,...

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 advic...

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 g...

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 cr...

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. Luckily, we've got a guest host this week who couldn't be more delightful if he tried. There aren't enough hyphens in the world to describe this multi-talented man! It's actor, comedian, writer, and director Drew Droege! Be sure to listen to Drew...
