And of course we don't forget to give some top notch advice on dressing for a red carpet event and meeting your boyfriend's 18 year old daughter for the first time.

Ronna had to go out of town for personal reasons this past week, but we've got something fun for you none the less. The response over last week's cliffhanger about the boyfriend from hell was OFF.

E

Now wait a minute. Ronna is beside herself because it seems (Bryan) isn't quite as lonely as he lets on.

Scarlett's books of curated essays, FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR PINK & OTHER LIES and IT'S NOT OK TO FEEL BLUE & OTHER LIES are award winning best sellers and absolutely worth the read.

Now wait a minute. If you think we're resting on our laurels in the new year, you've got another think coming, excuse me. We're joined by not one, but TWO Adams this week.

The Adams join us to give advice on running into your ex on the street, dealing with a klutzy boyfriend, and what to do when you're worried about a roommate who may be living beyond their means. If you didn't love Adam Rippon before today, you will from here on out, believe us. And don't forget to watch Adam's expert analysis on NBC next month during their coverage of the Winter Olympics in Beijing!

Now wait a minute. We've reached a true Carriage House Milestone. Our 100th Free Feed episode is here, and it might be the fanciest this show has ever been, excuse me.

Frank was with the New York Times from 1980 to 2011 and is currently writer at large for New York Magazine. He's also the producer of two HBO hits you may have heard of, pardon me, VEEP and SUCCESSION. After regaling us with stories of the late, great Stephen Sondehim, Frank helps us give advice on dealing with a breach of dinner party etiquette, what to do when a parent becomes too influenced with the pseudoscience of the "well being" movement, and how to get your partner on the same page when it comes to parenting.

We've had some chilly mornings in Marblehead recently, but we barely noticed because of our downright scrumptious holiday coffee blends. Ronna beats the freeze with her Ronnukah Blend and (Bryan) couldn't be cozier with his Vienna in Winter. Get yours today at askronnacoffee.com And for those chilly Marblehead nights?

Joining us is comedian, actor, and writer Fortune Feimster! You know her from THE MINDY PROJECT, her Sirius XM show WHAT A JOKE WITH PAPA AND FORTUNE, and her hysterical Netflix comedy special SWEET & SALTY. Fortune joins us to give advice on some serious wedding dress drama, coping with a pet's untimely passing, and dealing with a bottle of wine that may or may not be cursed. It's chilly out there, but the nip in the air is no match for our DELICIOUS holiday coffee blends from Ask Ronna Coffee. Whether it's the gelt infused Ronnukah Blend or cinnamon goodness of Vienna in Winter, they'll both start your holiday mornings off right.

And we know we're back to gifting some fabulous giveaways to a lucky letter writer, pardon me...but Ronna has to address something with (Bryan) immediately, and it involves the literally dozens of messages she's received asking about (Bryan)'s skincare regimen.

Hello, dears! This week we thought we'd try something a little different on the Free Feed.

It seems as though Yadvina's kindness (or maybe it's mischief) knows no bounds. She's lending you her keys again so you get another sneak peek inside The Carriage House! This week, we go back in time to May 22, 2020, with Patreon 15. It's early on in quarantine and (Bryan) is feeling a bit squirrely (he may or may not have caused a massive power outage in the sauna the previous week). But luckily Ronna is willing to look the other way and the whole thing turns into a fabulous Carriage House Catch-Up: game shows, Grace Kelly, Big Ed...we cover it all. Plus we've got a cliffhanger about finding a married family member on Tinder and then give tips on high-end salon etiquette. Ronna (& Bryan) won't be getting any buzzers for that!

Yadvina's Keys to The Carriage House: Sherman Comes Home (Patreon 5)

bonusE

Ronna (& Bryan) are on a well-deserved break from the Free Feed, but Yadvina is still keeping The Carriage House in pristine condition while they're away...and she has a treat for you all. She is going to let you borrow her keys to The Carriage House so everyone on the Free Feed can get a taste of what they're missing on Patreon.

In this episode, released on March 13th, 2020, (Bryan) brings his dog Sherman into The Carriage House as an emotional support animal during a time of growing stress surrounding this new bug going around called coronavirus (little did we know, excuse me). With Sherman in tow and a heaping helping of profanity (and...does (Bryan) have a guest in The Carriage House?) it really is Free Feed behavior at its finest. After a cliffhanger about airplane etiquette, we give our advice on changing up your sleeping habits and how to deal with a coworker who loves to take credit. And if you're missing Ronna (& Bryan) while they're on break, join us on Patreon where we'll have ALL NEW episodes every Friday, even during our break! patreon.com/askronna Ronna (& Bryan) may not be here this week, but, wherever they are, you can rest assured they're sipping on Negronnas!

E

She's back! After a week away, Ronna has returned in all her glory, but we don't even have time to talk about her doubles tournament with Hugh Moscowitz because of (Bryan)'s mischief while she was away. But no need to worry...she has a forensic plumber on the case. In any event, this show is our end of Season 2 blowout extravaganza!

S2 Ep 9292 - Shot Girl Summer with Special Guest Host Jessica St. Clair

E

Now wait a minute. The tension is palpable. You could cut it with a knife. Ronna's doubles tennis tournament was moved to today, and she absolutely couldn't miss it, so she asked a dear friend to fill in for her on the show. But what happens when this dear friend is one of (Bryan)'s biggest rivals? Can they put their competitiveness for Ronna's approval aside for the sake of the show? The answer is a resounding YES! And it's easy when the special guest host in question is none other than the utterly delightful Jessica St. Clair! Jessica (& Bryan) team up to give advice on a titillating sexual proposition gone awry, dealing with a unique piece of art from an ex-boyfriend, and whether or not it's OK to put dog poo in a residential trash bin. And be sure to catch Jessica's wonderful podcast THE DEEP DIVE with co-host June Diane Raphael. Jessica is having herself a "shot girl summer." And you know what she's drinking? A Negronna, of course! Join her by getting a bottle of your own at negronna.com where tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders! Learn more about your ad choices.

You know her from her countless appearances on Comedy Central and the late night shows as well as host of the podcast I LOVE A LIFETIME MOVIE with friend of the show (and (Bryan)'s mortal enemy) Naomi Ekperigin.

S2 Ep 9090 - Classic Cliffhangers: Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness

E

We absolutely love giving our Free Feed listeners a little taste of what they're missing in The Carriage House over on Patreon every now and then (though we hesitate to use the word "taste" this week, as you'll see). It's time for another edition of Classic Cliffhangers! For this illustrious volume, we're bringing you some of our dirtiest cliffhangers, and we mean that quite literally. First up is one of the most outrageous cliffhangers we've ever had (the story of a polyamorous hook-up gone awry). Then it's on to a very delicate question on personal hygiene, a new lover who doesn't seem to have any clean clothes, and the story of a Grindr flirtation that goes in a very unexpected direction. The drinks of the summer continue to be the Negronna and iced Ask Ronna Coffee. What can we say, we've got your summer beverages covered any which way you want them. Remember that tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders at negronna.com and, at askronnacoffee.com, you can subscribe and save. It's a Ronna (& Bryan) kind of summer, pardon me! The Free Feed gets to at least hear the cliffhanger questions, if not the answers (unless we include them in a Classic Cliffhangers). But thanks to a mistake from Tony this week (who's on thin ice, excuse me), you get to hear both a question and answer that was never meant to be on the Free Feed! Of course, if you became a CHIP and joined us on Patreon, you'd have access to each and every minute of our valuable advice any time you wanted. Visit patreon.com/askronna and join us for bonus episodes every Friday.

You know Roger from his massively successful podcast and NBCSN television show MEN IN BLAZERS as well as his new (and deeply heartfelt) memoir (RE)BORN IN THE USA.

E

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're so happy to welcome actor, comedian, writer, and podcaster Raiza Licea to The Carriage House!

(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 who reveals everyone else's deepest, darkest secrets, what to do when you're in love with your mailman, and a wedding gift drama that might not turn out the way you think.

With Variety’s own Kate Aurthur & Adam B. Vary as our special guests! Even if you haven’t seen all of this year's movies, you can still count on this being an EVENT, excuse me. Tickets available at askronnalive.com , and we even have a few Meet & Greet Red Carpet Experience tickets left! After the show we'll also have a Zoom room afterparty so you can hang out and chat with your fellow Carriage House cohorts. Will Ronna make an appearance at the afterparty? You never know! Don't forget that Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney is coming to the Free Feed on 4/27! Be sure to read her new book GOOD COMPANY ( https://bookshop.org/shop/askronna )and send your questions for Cynthia by 4/20. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
