<p>It's a Carriage House Catch Up for the ages this week! Just Ronna (&amp; Bryan) sharing their love together. After Ronna shows off more of her musical chops, and after a stern talking down to listeners who don't take Ronna (&amp; Bryan)'s advice and yet write in for more, we're so excited to share Co-op Board President Josh Camson's Carriage House Style Guide! Read it, memorize it, and FOLLOW IT, excuse me. Then we give advice on finding a path to an elusive orgasm, not looking a gift "Wayne" in the mouth, and the best way to load a dishwasher.</p> <p>It's almost time for July's AR Social Club Kiki, a.k.a. (Bryan)'s Shampoo Buzz Hour. Members can join us on Sunday July 31 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT. Not a member yet? You'll definitely want to join us for August's Kiki. Be sure to visit <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a> and subscribe before August 1.</p> <p>Feeling left out of the Social Club because you're a teetotaler? There's always Ask Ronna Coffee! Gorgeous coffee awaits you, and summer is the perfect time to try Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla over ice. <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Ronna's recording issues aside, the show must go on, and have we got a show for you this week or have we got a show for you this week? We couldn't be happier to welcome our dear, dear friend (and original troublemaker, excuse me) Sona Movsesian! You know Sona as the personal assistant of another dear friend of The Carriage House, Conan O'Brien. Sona is co-host of the wildly successful podcast CONAN O'BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND, and, as of TODAY, pardon me, a celebrated author! Her new book, THE WORLD'S WORST ASSISTANT, is out now and we couldn't recommend it more. Go read it!</p> <p>Sona joins us to help give advice on dealing with (possibly) cheap friends, looking for a partner interested in creating a blended family, and surviving a mother-in-law who refuses to wash her hands after being in the restroom. This is an episode for the ages!</p> <p>July's cocktail for the AR Social Club is going to be such a delight we really can't wait to share it with you. And we've got something equally fabulous planned for August. If you want to join in on the fun, make sure you visit <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a> and subscribe before August 1st to be invited to August's Kiki!</p> <p>And if you're not a drinker, we've still got the most delicious coffee you'll ever taste, pardon me, with Ask Ronna Coffee. An iced Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla is the perfect summer treat. <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Good day, dear Carriage House Members! We're here enjoying some delicious Ask Ronna Coffee and giving you a little ASMR with some Queen's Jubilee cookies (Ronna is a royalist, after all), but who are we kidding? We have GOT to get to today's guest. It's none other than our dear friend Carl Clemons-Hopkins! You know them from one of our favorite shows, HACKS, and they're fresh off their Off-Broadway show LESSONS IN SURVIVAL: 1971 at the Vineyard Theatre. Carl joins us to give advice on feeling left behind when friends are coupled up, dealing with a child who might be a budding sociopath, and living with a spouse who doesn't want to share any part of life outside of the house. There's a LOT to cover, and June, or, in this case, July, is truly bustin' out all over!</p> <p>July's AR Social Club boxes are being packed as we speak, and it's going to be another spectacular month. Are you missing out? Come join us for August! Just subscribe before August 1st at <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a></p> <p>Of course, our gorgeously bottled Negronna is still available for anyone looking for our killer take on a negroni. Get it at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a></p> <p>And, as if you needed reminding, our Ask Ronna Coffee on ice is a summer treat to savor, pardon me. <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Not even (Bryan)'s crawdaddy attitude can put a damper on this week's episode, excuse me. We have a genuine superstar in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is none other than actor, director, and co-host of THE TALK on CBS Jerry O'Connell! Jerry, coming at us from the front seat of his '81 Corvette, pardon me, helps us give advice on a sticky step-family situation and a newly widowed mother who's struggling with getting back into the dating pool. With a guest like this, you'll definitely want to wade in these waters!</p> <p>July's AR Social Club is closed! Members will be receiving their boxes and Kiki invitations later this month, but we've also got something very special planned for August's Club. Be sure to visit <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a> and subscribe before August 1st to be a part of it all!</p>

Now wait a minute. The show hasn't even started yet and Ronna's already had it with (Bryan) thanks to the crate of diabetic chocolate bars he brought her back from Peru. Luckily we have a delightful guest to help ease us out of this unpleasantness. Joining us in The Carriage House is writer, newlywed, and co-host of the podcast HOMOPHILIA Matt McConkey! Matt is here to help us give advice on dealing with flaky friends, discovering a spouse's suspicious text messages, and moving into a new building and finding a big surprise next door. June's AR Social Club Kiki was a HUGE success! Thanks to all the members who joined us to learn how to mix a wicked chilcano. Are you sad you missed out? You should be, excuse me. Luckily, there's still time to join the club for July! Be sure to visit arsocialclub.com and subscribe BEFORE JULY 1 in order to get an invitation for the social event of the summer.

<p>Now wait a minute. Our CHIPs over on Patreon already knew this was happening, but Ronna's lifting the information embargo now and letting the cat out of the bag. While (Bryan) was on vacation, our dear friend Naomi Ekperigin not only guest hosted over on Patreon, but she also recorded a Free Feed with Ronna, and we're THRILLED to share it with you this week! As we've mentioned, be sure to watch Naomi's appearance on David Letterman's&nbsp;Netflix show THAT'S MY TIME. Two comedy greats in one place!</p> <p>Naomi joins Ronna to give advice on a spouse who doesn't want to be a game buddy, a friendship conflict caused by a fiance and his bunny, and some student loan drama putting a strain on a close relationship.</p> <p>Our first AR Social Club Kiki is THIS FRIDAY at 7pm ET / 4pm PT. It's going to be absolutely spectacular. Believe us when we say you'll regret missing this if you're not a Social Club member. But don't worry...you can always join us for July's Kiki! Be sure to subscribe to the AR Social Club before July 1st to guarantee your spot! <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a></p> <p>Summer's almost here! And nothing quenches a summer thirst like an iced Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla. Delicious Ask Ronna Coffee is still available at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Now wait a minute. This is a HUGE get. How do we keep topping ourselves week after week with these guests? We'll never know, but, once again, you're in for a treat, pardon me. This week we're joined in The Carriage House by none other than Jesse Tyler Ferguson! Of course you know him from MODERN FAMILY, but not only does he have the cutest podcast in the world, GAY PRIDE &amp; PREJUDICE, he's also a TONY Award winning actor as of two days ago, excuse me, for his role in TAKE ME OUT! From accepting a TONY at Radio City to chatting with us in The Carriage House in&nbsp;less than 48 hours. We can't believe it!</p> <p>Jesse joins us to give advice on work crushes, long distance relationships, and getting back in touch with your true self.</p> <p>AR Social Club members - keep an eye on your inboxes for your official invites to the monthly Kiki for June. It's going to be a fabulous time. Missing out on the social event of the summer? Don't worry, you can still join for July! Just be sure to subscribe before July 1st. <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a></p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Of course you know our guests in The Carriage House are the cream of the crop, but our guest this week might be in the midst of having his best week ever, pardon me. We're so excited to welcome none other than actor, writer, and activist Ryan O'Connell! You know Ryan from his delightful Emmy-nominated Netflix show SPECIAL, but he's got TWO new projects coming out this week, excuse me. His new book, JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM is being released TODAY, and his new TV series, a reboot of QUEER AS FOLK, premieres June 9th on Peacock.</p> <p>Ryan joins us to help give advice about a clingy friend, battling addiction, and always being the one to initiate meeting friends.</p> <p>The time has passed to join AR Social Club for the month of June, but, luckily for you, there's PLENTY of time to join for July! Just visit <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a> (or, yes, arsocial.club works too) and subscribe before July 1st for entry.</p>

<p>Yes, Ronna's a classic...but don't say it to her face (it sounds a little too close to "sage," pardon me). You know what else is classic? These cliffhangers! It's time for another installment of Classic Cliffhangers! For this volume we're using the heading MYOB: Mind Your Own Beeswax. These are letters from people who, rightfully or not, couldn't leave well enough alone. We've got Grimelda the upstairs neighbor, a gay / straight friendship and a perturbed girlfriend, an accidental (and troubling) YouTube post, and our very first Carriage House Dateline mystery.</p> <p>Tomorrow at 11:59pm PT is the deadline to join the AR Social&nbsp;Club for the month of June! Get those subscriptions in so you can take part in June's Monthly Kiki.</p>

<p>Wait a minute. Is it really him? It is! He's back! After his fabulous trip to England and Scotland, (Bryan) is back for a Carriage House Catch-up for the ages. And when we say "catch-up," we mean it, excuse me. We get so excited to chat that we literally set off the fire alarm. Then it's on to giving advice on a husband's dental issue, a deteriorating relationship with a roommate, a flatulence problem, and, on a more serious note, dealing with a personal loss.</p> <p>The AR Social Club sign-ups are in full swing! Join what's sure to be the most exclusive club around this summer with gorgeous cocktails and virtual tastings with Ronna (&amp; Bryan) in attendance. Visit <a href="http://arsocialclub.com/" target="_blank">arsocialclub.com</a> OR arsocial.club ...they both work!</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. (Bryan) is still galavanting abroad in gorgeous England and Scotland, but have we got a special guest for you this week or what! Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than Nahant, Massachusetts' favorite son Jason Mantzoukas! You know him from literally a million things on TV and in the world of podcasts (HOW DID THIS GET MADE? is a pure delight, excuse me).</p> <p>Jason joins Ronna to give advice on a very unexpected development in a familial relationship, an upstairs neighbor from Hell, and dealing with working with your ex.</p> <p>And if you love Jason as much as we do, join us on Patreon on Friday where he'll pull a double-double and act as special guest host once again! <a href="http://patreon.com/askronna" target="_blank">patreon.com/askronna</a></p> <p>It's finally here! Welcome to refinement. Welcome to luxury. Welcome to the AR Social Club. This is your opportunity to receive expertly curated cocktails every month and spend some quality time with Ronna, Bryan, and other Social Club Glitterati. Visit arsocial.club for details.</p>

<p>(Bryan) is off on his wanderlust walkabout, which means Ronna is in need of a guest host this week. And who better to join her than the man behind one of her favorite Insta accounts, actor and comedian John Milhiser! You know John from his work with UCB, College Humor, and SNL along with shows like DRAMA CLUB and FOURSOME. And you should do yourselves a favor and follow his IG account today.</p> <p>John joins Ronna to give advice on setting friendship boundaries, dealing with your boyfriend's family, and what to do when a roommate's significant other insists on bringing his dirty dishes to wash in YOUR kitchen sink. It's enough to make you furious fast!</p>

<p>You'll have to forgive (Bryan) for being a bit out of sorts this week. He chipped his tooth eating lobster salad that was way too creamy, and, to top it all off, he thinks his dentist is much more chic than he is. But, as Ronna insists, the show must go on, and have we got a show for you this week, excuse me. Joining us in The Carriage House is none other than our dear, dear friend Mary Holland! You know Mary from literally every show on television, pardon me, but she's got a new Netflix movie coming out on May 13 called SENIOR YEAR with Rebel Wilson which we can't wait to see!</p> <p>Mary helps give advice on dealing with an out of control friend of a friend, adding some luxury to a new apartment that had a recent bedbug infestation (yikes!), and uninviting people to a wedding.</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Any time we have authors in The Carriage House they become INSTANT best-sellers, and we're sure this week will be no different. We are so fortunate to welcome writer, actor, comedian, and our dear, dear friend Jessi Klein! Jessi is having one of the best weeks of her life, pardon me. Not only does she premiere her new show I LOVE THAT FOR YOU this Friday on Showtime, but her new book I'LL SHOW MYSELF OUT comes out TODAY! What an incredible week!</p> <p>Jessi joins us in The Carriage House to give advice on refusing a widower's unwanted advances, dealing with a friendship on the ropes, and what to do when a hot, hot man has some funky B.O. We end it with what is perhaps the BEST cliffhanger we've ever received. If it's not enough to make you join us on Patreon, we don't know what to tell you.</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. We always joke about how close we are to becoming a legitimate show, but we're long past that. It's already happened, excuse me...especially when we land guests like this. Joining us in The Carriage House this week is our DEAR friend (and Ask Ronna superfan, pardon me) Richard Lawson! Richard is the chief critic for VANITY FAIR (maybe you've heard of it?) and his podcasts LITTLE GOLD MEN and STILL WATCHING are available wherever you get your podcasts.</p> <p>Superfan Richard joins us for some Gilded Age talk and then helps us give advice on a pair of vacation dramas (one with family, one with friends) as well as giving some ideas for groomsmen activities at a wedding.</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Ronna has a lot to say this week, and not only because she just learned about Mac OS's Do Not Disturb Function. We're so excited to welcome to The Carriage House none other than writer and comedian Alex Edelman! If you live in New York you've no doubt heard about his SMASH hit Off-Broadway solo show JUST FOR US. It's currently enjoying a sold out run at Soho Playhouse, but, lucky for us, it'll be moving to the Greenwich House Theater starting June 13th for a 6 week limited run! You're crazy if you're in New York and miss a chance to see this show. <a href="http://justforusshow.com/" target="_blank">justforusshow.com</a></p> <p>Alex, who's such a fan of Ask Ronna that he's coming to us from quarantine as he recovers from COVID, excuse me, joins us to give advice on accepting your adult children's life choices and dealing with religious differences in a relationship. All in all, a great show!</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Don't start with Ronna that "oh, boo hoo, there was no Oscar show this year," ok? That'll be back next year. But this week we've got a Hollywood insider in The Carriage House that you wouldn't believe. To help us navigate this rollercoaster of a week in Entertainment we've got none other than Editor-at-Large of Variety Kate Aurthur! A legitimate entertainment journalist, excuse me! After she helps us unpack the Oscars, she lends us a hand in giving advice on friends who are insensitive about a medical issue, an expat's relationship dilemma, and owning a house outside of New York City while still working there. After you hear this episode, you'll want to keep all of our names in your mouth!</p>

<p>It's another Carriage House Catch-Up this week as Ronna (&amp; Bryan) talk everything from parking at the FOX Lot (no Galaxy parking for Ronna, excuse me) to London to Baby Steve's impeccable genes. Then we've got some spectacular follow-ups about the infamous Cathy/Becky Costa Rica trip and the overseas French gendarme lover. 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. It's quintessential Carriage House fun!</p>

<p>We're still impressed with the caliber of guests that we've had in The Carriage House the past few weeks. We can't wait for our dinner date with Sandra Bernhard in New York, but until&nbsp;then, we've got a Carriage House Catch-Up for the ages for you this week! We cover everything from London theatre to sexting to Love Is Blind to Real Housewives and more. Plus we give advice on a friendship that may be falling apart and regaining some perspective after an eventful few years of work and family. Now if only (Bryan) can get his and Ronna's names right...</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. The caliber of guests we've had in The Carriage House this year is truly remarkable, to absolutely no one's surprise, pardon me. We're so excited to welcome, for his second visit, no less, writer/producer extraordinaire Mike Schur! Of course you know him from THE OFFICE, PARKS AND REC, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, THE GOOD PLACE, and a million other things, but he's also a New York Times best-selling author, excuse me. His book HOW TO BE PERFECT is out now and is absolutely worth your time!</p> <p>Mike joins us in The Carriage House again to help give advice on dating someone who also dated a coworker, dealing with a sister who has a serious problem with hoarding, and navigating a long relationship that needs some changes.</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. We've had icons&nbsp;in The Carriage House before. We're no strangers to rubbing elbows with legends, pardon me, but we've really outdone ourselves this week. We're THRILLED to welcome to The Carriage House none other than the legendary Sandra Bernhard! Of course you know her from her iconic comedy shows and TV appearances, but if you haven't seen her perform live, you're missing out. Those of you in the New York tri-state can catch her THIS WEEKEND at the beautiful Westport Country Playhouse in Westport, CT.</p> <p>Sandra joins us to give advice on announcing a break-up on social media, dealing with neighbors' dogs and their doo, and how to end a professional relationship with your stylist.</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. (Bryan) is off conquering Hollywood again this week, but Ronna is joined in The Carriage House by none other than her dear friend Mitch Silpa! You know Mitch from BRIDESMAIDS, his many appearances on ALL RISE (and a million other shows), as well as his work with the equally hilarious Drew Droege (TWO OLD QUEENS WHO'VE JUST A MINUTE TO CATCH UP). For those of you in LA, Mitch and Drew are doing a live show TONIGHT (Tuesday) at Dynasty Typewriter.</p> <p>Mitch joins Ronna to give advice on trying to get house keys back from an ex who's ghosted you, just how truthful to be in a job interview, and living with people who don't understand your sense of humor.</p>

<p>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. THE. CHARTS. So we're giving you a little taste (a "snack" as Ronna puts it) of the advice (Bryan) and producer Adam gave on the most recent Patreon. A LOT of you commented about this, and we'll certainly have more to say about it when Ronna (&amp; Bryan) return next week with an all new Free Feed episode. Until then, enjoy!</p> <p>And if you want to hear the rest of this episode, you can! Join us on Patreon at patreon.com/askronna</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. We can't thank those of you who joined us at the live show enough. We haven't had that much fun in ages, and yes, we're sure Conor's cocktail helped! We really&nbsp;should have taken this week off to recuperate, but we're here with a FANTASTIC show nonetheless! We give advice on workplace etiquette regarding a pregnant coworker, whether it's ok to go "29 crazy" even though you're in your early 30s, and dealing with an unpaid internship. Plus Ronna has the most visceral reaction to a cliffhanger we've ever heard. This is one for the books!</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Ronna is beside herself because it seems (Bryan) isn't quite as lonely as he lets on. He had to take a "personal" day today (keep your eye out for any lobster boats on the bay that seem to be rocking a bit more than the others). In any event, we're so fortunate to have the absolutely delightful Jean Villepique as a guest host today! You know her from AP BIO on Peacock and about a million other things, excuse me. Jean joins Ronna in The Carriage House to give advice on breast reduction surgery, an impending break-up, and navigating a dear friend's health crisis.</p> <p>This weekend is the 2nd Annual Valentine's Live Show! If you haven't gotten your tickets yet, NOW IS THE TIME! Games, prizes, surprises, advice...we have it all. Go to <a href="http://askronnalive.com/" target="_blank">askronnalive.com</a> and get your tickets! The show is Saturday 2/12 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.</p>
