It's that time of year! We get to review some of the craziest, most shocking, and most FUN cliffhangers we've received this season. So buckle up and get ready for The Dirty Bird Special!  For this year's collection we've got some real doozies. First off it's Mushroom Lasagna's insane friend who gets sexual pleasure from bidets (yes, it's as out of control as you think it is). Then we follow it up with one of the most disgusting letters we've ever received; the mom who's decided there's no need to wash her hands with soap anymore. And finally, we re-live one of our favorites; the massage saga of Tugboat Willy. Not yet a member of Patreon? As you can tell from this week's episode, you're missing out!

Ronna's ready to record, even if she's sitting at a toddler table in a spare bedroom. But don't blame her. Her new LA pied-à-terre is still getting nipped and tucked, so this was the only space that wasn't abuzz with activity.  But she (& Bryan) have a fab show in store for you! After Ronna receives shocking news about (Bryan)'s parents and their heights, they give advice on tattoo regrets and setting boundaries with a parent.  (Bryan)'s Off-Broadway show ARE YOU MAD AT ME is almost done with its run, and if you're in the area, it's a MUST see.

It's a week of firsts! (Bryan) had his first tea ever and Ronna topped him by buying her first LA property ever. You can listen to (Bryan) spiral in real time at this revelation. Once he recovers, (Bryan) and Ronna tackle a pair of international advice questions: one on long distance relationships and the other on whether or not now is the time move abroad. (Bryan)'s hit show ARE YOU MAD AT ME is still playing Off-Broadway in New York through August 15th! Get tickets at areyoumadatmeshow.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ronna's star struck this week, excuse me. We've got Off-Broadway's own (Bryan) with us, fresh off his SMASH hit show, and he and Ronna are ready to mingle and give their usual spot-on advice...if they can avoid cyclospora first. This week Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on a trio of problems: planning a long term stay for an American fruit in London, how to deal with a very extroverted employee, and what the etiquette is at a restaurant when your dining companion is running VERY late. (Bryan)'s show ARE YOU MAD AT ME is selling fast, so if you want tickets, and believe us, you do, you better get your grubs on them now!

Our dear (Bryan)'s Off-Broadway show is officially up and running, and we've got a fabulous episode this week to celebrate!

It's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and we cover a LOT of territory, excuse me. From (Bryan)'s New York Times mention to Dyan Cannon to lithosexuals, we've got a lot to talk about. Then, after a mountain of follow-ups, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on whether it's wise to put a career on pause for a relationship. ARE YOU MAD AT ME, (Bryan)'s Off-Broadway debut, starts performances THIS FRIDAY in New York! Even the New York Times is excited about this show, pardon me.

We're off this week, but we've still got a treat in store for you, excuse me. Here's a little taste of a recent Patreon episode that we thought was particularly fun! Ronna can't remember what she was going to ask (Bryan). (Bryan) can't find the video he was going to show Ronna. Dante is...Dante. Sometimes nothing goes right, but we STILL have an incredibly fun episode. After a follow-up from someone who has a similar story to the earring toothpick user from a few weeks ago, Ronna (& Bryan) answer a cliffhanger about grief and all its complexity.

We just finished 300, and now we're on our way to 400, excuse me! It's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week as Ronna (& Bryan), people pleasers that they are, chat about everything from seed oil to Thanksgiving food to Harry Potter's death spell. Then they answer a trio of listener questions: how to handle a bad B&B experience, whether or not the older person on a date always has to pay, and how to navigate a friendship that might be uneven on meeting each other's needs.  (Bryan) has just one question for you: ARE YOU MAD AT ME?
