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 flew one of the best first class products in the skies back to the US courtesy of HER, excuse me. After a quick review of the Czech National Ballet, it was on to a Dooze McBooze of a cliffhanger that got Ronna's blood BOILING. She's rarely been so angry on this show, so watch out!

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 Curtis, pardon me, Grace Campbell!

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!

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, Michelle Buteau and Jordan Carlos! Michelle and Jordan help us give advice on an awkward situation of catching coworkers hooking up in the office and whether or not it's creepy for a dog walker to commission a painting of a client's dog who passed away.

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 advice on losing friends as one ages and dealing with a massage session that got very steamy very fast.

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 guest room situation. They they give advice on dealing with a mother-in-law who wants to read a Bible verse at a non-religious wedding and a man who's thinking of getting Botox...much to his partner's dismay.

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 cruel world of amateur tennis. Then as sexy singles, they take YOUR real dating stories and improvise them with a fabulous special CELEBRITY guest, ending in a reveal of how it actually went down. It's available wherever you get your podcasts and is NOT to be missed, pardon me. On this episode drop, Arden and Bryan welcome the one and only Lauren Lapkus aka Princess Hollywood! They reveal who's giving No Autrographs Please energy this week including one lady who sent her entire town holiday cards that said "Go to Hell!" So chic!

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 on his upcoming podcast MINOR REVELATIONS.

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) was kicked out of his hotel in Prague. He doesn't really want to talk about it, even though Ronna is highly amused by the whole thing ("and now we close the circle, Mr. Safi"). But if there's one person who can change (Bryan)'s mood for the better, it's this week's guest. We're thrilled to be joined by comedian and entertainer extraordinaire Michelle Collins!

Now wait a minute. If you joined us at the Lonely Hearts Live Show this past Sunday, you already know how much we LOVE Valentine's Day. This week, along with a Carriage House Catch-Up, we thought it would be fun to revisit some of our classic love related cliffhangers from Patreons past. In this installment, we look back on Derek the "masc tormentor," the Danny/Gennaro/Tony Grindr ménage-à-trois, the possibly Scandinavian "Miserable in Love," and our "ostensibly straight" narcissist, who we REALLY let have it. Ronna (& Bryan) listen to their past advice to see if it still holds up (spoiler alert: of course it does). Throw in some real talk about Tom Brady and Charles Barkley, and you've got a show that's willing to show off its spectacular crack! Did you miss the live show this past Sunday? You missed a gem!

It's a classic Carriage House Catch-Up this week with Ronna (& Bryan). (Bryan)'s getting over a cold and the only thing that can help, apparently, is $500 cash, though Dr. Glickman has a second opinion on that particular treatment.

Now wait a minute. It's not everyday we have a national treasure in The Carriage House, but you better believe we do this week, pardon me. After a quick style guide addendum from Naomi Ekperigin (which you better commit it to memory, honey), we're joined by none other than author, actor, and all around fabulous man John Hodgman!

As you may know, our dear, dear friends Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak host their own podcast ADD TO CART, and if you're not listening to this show, we don't know what to tell you. It's fabulous, and we wanted to do a "feed drop," as the podcast industry calls it, pardon me, to share one particular episode with you. If you loved Kulap and SuChin when they were on Ask Ronna, then you'll love Ronna as a special guest on Add To Cart. Enjoy! Join comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Each week, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what's worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what's not. From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are. In this episode, Ronna dishes on the most gorgeous and ballsy L.A. art Ku and Su have yet to see. Plus, she’s getting rejuvenated at a retreat that’s as incredible as its price tag.

We can't tell you how grateful we are to still be a part of your lives after all this time, and we'll be here for 150 more episodes...or until (Bryan) breaks out of The Carriage House like the Kool-Aid Man. After some quick follow-ups, including one from over 2 years ago, pardon me, we give advice on avoiding making comparisons to others when you're a new mother, how to deal with a neighbor who's probably a grifter, and navigating living with an ex 10 years after the break-up.

Joining us in The Carriage House is our new friend and comedian extraordinaire Chris Estrada! You can catch Chris on his acclaimed Hulu series THIS FOOL, which was just renewed for a second season, pardon me. He's an utter delight!

Now wait a minute. If you thought Ronnukah was our last hurrah of the year, you've got another think coming, excuse me. We couldn't be happier to welcome a living legend into The Carriage House this week as we're joined by the delightful and hilarious Patton Oswalt! Of course you know Patton as one of the most gifted comedians working today (his new Netflix special WE ALL SCREAM is streaming now). And if you needed a reminder, his acting resume is a mile long, from THE KING OF QUEENS to RATATOUILLE (a Ronna favorite) to his most recent award-winning film I LOVE MY DAD. Patton helps us give advice on some major brother-in-law drama, talking about an untraditional relationship with friends, and throwing a party in a co-op. Ronnukah was a huge success, pardon me. We've heard from so many of you already that you've added Ronna (& Bryan)'s suggestions to your collective carts. But we couldn't be happier with our own Ronnukah offerings this season, including a gorgeous personalized Kinto tumbler, ultra luxe drinking chocolate with Irish Cream and Créme de Menthe, Ronna's Custom Holiday Glühwein, and more! Find it all at ronnukah.com And, needless to say, December's AR Social Club Kiki will be one for the books. Join before December 6th to get an invite to the holiday party of the year. And don't forget that single social club boxes are available and make absolutely fabulous gifts...and both the sender and the receiver receive invites to the Kiki! arsocialclub.com SPONSOR: Go to zocdoc.com/askronna to download the ZocDoc app for free and make an appointment with a top rated doctor at your convenience!

Ho ho ho! No, we're not referring to three (Bryan)s. It's the episode you've been waiting for all year: Ronnukah is finally here! And we've got a TON in store for you this holiday season. In addition to our usual gift suggestions for all price points (this episode covers gifts $250 and beyond...for those who want to splurge), we've got some VERY exciting Ask Ronna gift sets that couldn't be more chic if they tried, pardon me. And they're all available in one easy place: ronnukah.com We've got gift sets featuring the most transformative hot chocolate Ronna's ever had, plenty of boozy holiday treats, a personalized tumbler from favorite Carriage House brand Kinto, Ronna's spin on Glühwein (with mulling spices from Rare Tea Cellar, pardon me), and more! All make incredible gifts, and all are available at ronnukah.com And if that wasn't enough, we have an extra treat for our December AR Social Club members. Because an AR Club box would make an excellent gift (obviously), we're doing something different and revealing what comes inside December's box early: you'll be getting a special champagne that redefines holiday luxury along with TWO stunning champagne flutes from which to drink it. And for those who've asked us for a non-alcoholic option, we're offering a version of this club box with an alcohol free champagne. And each box also comes with Ronna's extra special family latke recipe along with some other goodies we'll keep a surprise. The deadline to join AR Social Club for December has been extended to December 6th. Remember that you can also buy single club boxes and send them out as gifts, and everyone who gets a box in December, whether it be as a club member or as a single gift, will be invited to the Kiki December 28th!
