<p>Now wait a minute. Things may be getting tense between (Bryan) and his new nemesis Steve, but that doesn't change the fact that we have a SPECTACULAR guest in The Carriage House this week, excuse me. Joining us is comedian, actor, and writer&nbsp;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 &amp; 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.</p> <p>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. Get yours today at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p> <p>Of course, if you need something a bit...harder, shall we say, we have just the thing. Our gift sets from Fiasco Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn are absolutely divine. A Black Manhattan, an Old Fashioned, a SuperGay Martini, a gorgeous bottle of champagne, or a boozy Negronna...we have it all. Visit <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> today.</p>

<p>Look, we know it's exciting. We know this is our first Free Feed of the new season with a special guest, excuse me. 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. Inquiring minds want to know! But we're also SO lucky to have with us as our first guest in Season 3, pardon me, our dear, dear friend Michaela Watkins! You know her from WEREWOLVES WITHIN, CASUAL, SNL, the upcoming Hulu series THE DROPOUT, and about a million other things. Michaela joins us today to give advice on a rollercoaster of an engagement, a husband's terrifying sneeze, and a missed birthday.</p> <p>The holidays are officially in full swing, and nothing will comfort you more than a delicious cup of Ronnukah&nbsp;Blend or Vienna in Winter. Both of our limited time holiday blends are available at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a> through the end of the year!</p> <p>And don't forget the FABULOUS gift boxes curated by our dear friend Conor at Fiasco Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn. Our Suds 'n Spuds pack is selling like hotcakes, and you can't get any classier than the Black Manhattan or SuperGay Martini gift sets. All are available at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a></p>

<p>Happy Thanksgivukkah! There's so much happening in The Carriage House this week! Thanksgiving, of course, is Thursday. Hanukkah begins on Sunday. And Steve's nursery is in the process of being redesigned with the most gorgeous De Gournay wallpaper you've ever seen, excuse me. And, if that weren't enough, we're back on the Free Feed with our first Carriage House Catch-Up since August! After some great follow-ups and reviews (five stars only, pardon me), we give advice on what to do when you hate your husband's dogs, how to deal with a real wet blanket at work, and navigating a throuple's body odor issue.</p> <p>Ronnukah is still in full swing, and that means our delicious Ask Ronna Coffee holiday blends are ready to order! Enjoy a rich, chocolatey Ronnukah Blend or a crisp, cinnamon Vienna in Winter. They're a perfect addition to any holiday and can be found, along with our classic Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla, at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p> <p>Need a beverage with more than caffeine? Our Ronna-approved gift sets from Conor at Fiasco Wine and Spirits are perfect! Of course there's the Suds 'n Spuds package, with the most fabulous bottle of champagne along with chocolate goodies from See's Candies and Ronna's family latke recipe...but there's also the Black Manhattan / Old Fashioned set and the SuperGay Vodka Martini set. And what holiday table is complete without a gorgeous bottle of Negronna at the center? Get them today at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a></p>

<p>We're baaack! And just in time for our most anticipated episode of the year. It's Ronnukah! After Ronna drops an announcement&nbsp;for the ages (to say she had her hands full during her time off is an understatement), we give our suggestions for the perfect holiday gift at any price point. In fact, we have so much to say and share that we had to split Ronnukah into TWO episodes, excuse me. So if you missed us during our hiatus from the Free Feed, you'll get double your pleasure on our return this week! Happy Ronnukah!</p> <p>And video of the entire episode is available exclusively to our Sauna Privileges members on Patreon. Do you want to watch (Bryan) model his gift suggestions? Become a Sauna Privileges member today!</p> <p>Yes, Ronna had a busy time off...but that included spending time in the lab again. We couldn't be happier to announce not one, but TWO holiday coffee blends available this season! Of course, we're bringing back last season's Ronnukah&nbsp;Blend, the rich, chocolate hazelnut, full-bodied organic mocha that was such a hit in The Carriage House. It's still the only Hanukkah inspired coffee on the market, pardon me. But, as if that weren't enough, we've also got a BRAND NEW holiday blend. Fresh out of the lab, we're pleased to offer you Vienna in Winter. This cinnamon-dusted confection will transport you to the snowy streets of Vienna and its famous winter markets at the most magnificent time of year. And the smell? Divine. Combine our new holiday blends with our delicious stand-bys, Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla, and you've got some of the most delicious coffee around and an AMAZING gift for the holidays. Visit askronnacoffee.com to order yours!</p>

<p>Here it is! Another little bite-sized portion of our most recent Patreon for you to nibble on this week. To hear the rest, join us on Patreon!</p> <p>And don't forget, next week Ronna (&amp; Bryan) return to the Free Feed with Ronnukah 2021! We've got our gift recommendations ready for you, and if you have any gifting questions or ideas, be sure to let us know at askronna@gmail.com</p> <p>As for the Amuse-Bouche on the Free Feed this week, we let you know that we've got some exciting things in store in The Carriage House this holiday season. Ronna's been in the lab and we're putting our little elves to work to make sure you all have a special holiday courtesy of Ronna (&amp; Bryan), excuse me. And if that weren't enough, we've also got a fabulous show! After a follow-up from the young lovers from Patreon 87, which leads to a second round of advice, we finish up with advice on what to do when you think your brother-in-law is lazy and immature.</p>

<p>It's time for another little amuse-bouche Patreon preview, but be sure to listen for the VERY special announcement at the top. We think you'll like it, excuse me.</p> <p>Now, wait a minute...anyone watching on video will have to pardon the darkness at the top of the show. We're just doing a dramatic reveal of Ronna's (&amp; Bryan)'s Halloween costumes for this year, and, trust us, it'll be worth it! See if you can guess what they are before the lights come up (longtime listeners of the show have an advantage here). After the big reveal and a quick catch-up, we're off to the races with some advice on an uncertain and ambiguous relationship and what to do when a good friend has chosen to stop wearing deodorant. It'll be a great way to start your Halloween weekend!</p> <p>This is just a taste of what's on the menu over on Patreon. Wanna eat the whole meal? Join us on Patreon! patreon.com/askronna</p>

<p>It's time for another Free Feed preview of our most recent Patreon episode!</p> <p>We're beyond excited about Halloween here in&nbsp;Marblehead. (Bryan) is getting his Chucky costume ready, though he has a second costume he's preparing specifically for The Carriage House, excuse me. Until then, we've got another absolutely fantastic show for you this week! After we gab about Phantom of the Opera and the travesty of banned American sprinkles in the UK, we give advice on a pair of husband related questions: how to handle a video game-playing spouse and what to do when you feel as though your significant other isn't carrying his weight around the house.</p> <p>To hear this fabulousness in its entirety, join us on Patreon! patreon.com/askronna</p>

<p>Now wait a minute. The reaction to this past week's Patreon episode was INCREDIBLE, pardon me, and we couldn't agree more. Was Paul F. Tompkins a delight? Of course he was. Was our discussion of the Bad Art Friend from the New York Times everything we said it would be and more? Of course it was. And was our Halloween Candy Tasting a high/low treat of monumental proportions? You better believe it was.</p> <p>Here's a little taste of what you missed if you aren't a Carriage House member. Wanna hear the whole thing? Why wouldn't you! Join us on Patreon to listen to (or watch!) what can only be described as an episode for the ages.</p>

<p>It's another amuse-bouche this week to give you a taste of our most recent episode over on Patreon! This is an excerpt from this past weekend, "The Twink with a Clairvoyant Streak" (Patreon 87). As the title suggests, there's a lot to talk about.</p> <p>The town of Marblehead may be making a racket outside The Carriage House today with their tree trimming crew (which Ronna doesn't need since she has her own people to do that, pardon&nbsp;me), but that's not stopping us from hosting an absolutely fabulous show. After some helpful tips about shopping in Europe and some clarification on whether or not Ronna is mentioned in the Pandora Papers, we offer some advice&nbsp;on what to do after a very awkward OB-GYN visit, how to let a friend know you want to keep the relationship platonic, and navigating the insecurities of young love.</p> <p>Wanna hear the rest? Of course! Head over to patreon.com/askronna to get this episode in its entirety.</p>

<p>Hello, dears! This week we thought we'd try something a little different on the Free Feed. Here's an excerpt from our latest Patreon episode from this past weekend, "The (W)hole Shebang" (Patreon 86). Think of it as an amuse-bouche to whet your appetite for the main course, pardon me.</p> <p>Ronna doesn't even know where to begin this week. She and (Bryan) are still up in arms about last week's "best friend" letter, but they eventually work it out and get to some VERY interesting questions! After several follow-ups, including the best P.S. we've EVER received, Ronna (&amp; Bryan) give advice on a delicate situation involving a stranger's cremated remains and a supportive mother who found text messages on her son's phone that suggest he may be questioning his sexuality.</p> <p>Wanna hear the rest of this fabulous episode? You can! Join us in The Carriage House at patreon.com/askronna&nbsp;</p>

<p>We're back inside The Carriage House for a Patreon Sneak Peek thanks to Yadvina. This week we travel back to the holiday season of 2020.</p> <p>The low winter sun is shining through the windows while we have a delightful Carriage House Catch-Up, excuse me. Today is all about advice, so after our cliffhanger about a family's gift-giving drama we answer questions about exploring sexuality later in life, whether or not to tell your best friend about her cheating boyfriend, and dealing with your friend when you have a troubled relationship with his fiancee.</p> <p>If you're missing Ronna (&amp; Bryan) during their Free Feed hiatus, you can always join them on Patreon where you'll find them BOTH (Ronna's back!) dishing out ALL NEW EPISODES every Friday! Just $5 a month gets you inside, or, for a more luxurious experience, $10 gets you SAUNA PRIVILEGES with video of every episode. <a href="http://patreon.com/askronna" target="_blank">patreon.com/askronna</a></p>

<p>It's the gift that keeps on giving! Yadvina's keys are still under the doormat, so come inside The Carriage House for a sneak peek at Patreon 35 from early October 2020.</p> <p>Fall is in full swing in Marblehead. Ronna's got her cardigan (with a gorgeous “I Coffee &amp; Voted" brooch, excuse me) and (Bryan) is dazzling with his Navy SEAL haircut and well-fitted tee. We're ready to dish out some advice! First we've got a cliffhanger about finding your relationship-hating ex-boyfriend...in a relationship. Then we move on to a, shall we say, FIRMLY written update on our old friends Arthur and Rob in the UK followed by the delicate problem of dealing with intimacy issues and depression.</p> <p>By the way, the EPIC follow-up we received in this Patreon was from the cliffhanger&nbsp;about Arthur and Rob in Leeds. If you need a refresher on the whole situation, you can hear the letter in Free Feed 48 (Little Miss Compton with Arden Myrin).</p>

<p>Time for another sneak peek inside The Carriage House courtesy of Yadvina! This week we go back a little over a year to Labor Day weekend of 2020.&nbsp;Ronna's off to the Vineyard for the holiday, and (Bryan) and the Lobsterman are planning a little tour of Massachusetts that they would totally be willing to cancel for a chance to play shirtless tennis for Ronna and her friends. But, before anyone ventures off for a (socially distanced) weekend, we answer some tough questions about dealing with new roles and responsibilities once a family member dies, what happens when your married lover becomes your COVID BF, and what to do when your friends don't donate to your cause on social media.</p> <p>Are you missing Ronna (&amp; Bryan)? Join us on Patreon for all new episodes every Friday, even during our Free Feed break! Just $5 a month gets you inside The Carriage House, and $10 gets you Sauna Privileges and video of every episode. <a href="http://patreon.com/askronna" target="_blank">patreon.com/askronna</a></p> <p>Nothing says "drink for all seasons" like a big, beautiful, boozy bottle of Negronna! There are still a few bottles available for your enjoyment, and tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders. <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a></p> <p>Fall is coming, and it's almost time to throw on that sweater and lovingly grasp a nice warm cup of coffee. And why on earth would it be any coffee other than Ask Ronna Coffee? Whether it's Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla, you're guaranteed autumnal bliss. <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Ronna (&amp; Bryan) are still on their Free Feed break, but a certain Ukrainian housekeeper is back in Marblehead with a little gift for you. Once again, it's the keys to The Carriage House and a sneak peek at Patreon! This week we travel back to August 7, 2020, with Patreon 26.</p> <p>Agent Provocateur Ronna &amp; CCEO (Bryan) are here with a doozy of a question about what to do when you&nbsp;wake&nbsp;up&nbsp;to your partner energetically&nbsp;masturbating in bed next to you while you're trying to sleep. Then it's on to matters less risqué, including proper bidet etiquette and what to do if your neighbors aren't reciprocating your offers to socialize.</p> <p>Also, (Bryan) took Ronna's notes from the previous week and offers up a new version of the Lobsterman's commercial. We think you'll agree it's...got more panache.</p> <p>Do you want access to The Carriage House every week? Join us on Patreon! Just $5 a month gets you an ALL NEW episode every Friday...even during our Free Feed break! <a href="http://patreon.com/askronna" target="_blank">patreon.com/askronna</a></p> <p>The Negronna is a drink for all seasons! Fall is just around the corner, and there's nothing better to sip while waiting for the sweater weather to arrive than a balanced and boozy Negronna. Go to negronna.com to get yours today, and don't forget that tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders.</p> <p>And speaking of impending sweater weather, it's almost time for us to take the ice out of our delicious Ask Ronna Coffee. Warm up with a cup of Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla, and subscribe and save $3 per bag at askronnacoffee.com&nbsp;</p>

<p>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 (&amp; Bryan) won't be getting any buzzers for that!</p> <p>Of course if you're really missing new episodes, Patreon is the place to go! We have a VERY special guest host this week we know you will love. Join us at <a href="http://patreon.com/askronna" target="_blank">patreon.com/askronna</a> for all new episodes, even during our Free Feed break!</p> <p>Summer's almost over. Enjoy these last steamy August days with a bottle of Negronna. With tax and shipping included on all domestic orders, there's never been a better time to visit <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> OR, for an iced coffee to die for, <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Ronna (&amp; Bryan) are on a well-deserved break from the Free Feed, but Yadvina is still keeping The Carriage House in pristine&nbsp;condition while&nbsp;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. Normally Ronna would be FURIOUS if she knew there was this kind of access to The Carriage House, but Yadvina won't tell if you won't!</p> <p>This week we're sharing our fifth Patreon episode with you. 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.</p> <p>And if you're missing Ronna (&amp; 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</p> <p>Ronna (&amp; Bryan) may not be here this week, but, wherever they are, you can rest assured they're sipping on Negronnas! With the end of summer fast approaching, there's no better time to grab your own bottle of this refreshing, boozy treat. Go to <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> for free shipping on all domestic orders.</p> <p>And if you're trying to stay cool on these hot August days, an iced Ask Ronna Coffee is the perfect remedy! Whether it's Carriage House or Shades of Vanilla, you can't go wrong. Visit <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a> to get yours today.</p>

<p>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! We're taking a well deserved break for a short while, but not before we give some advice on roommate cupcake wars, breaking up with a friend, and struggling with self-image during the creative process. And with a TRIPLE giveaway, we're truly ending the season on a high note!</p> <p>Don't worry...this little season break won't be for too long, and we'll let you know soon when we'll be back. Of course, if you still want more, there's an easy solution: while&nbsp;we're taking our short break on the Free Feed, ALL NEW EPISODES will continue to be released on Patreon every Friday!

Visit <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> and remember that tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders.</p> <p>And speaking of international triumphs, Ask Ronna Coffee continues to be the perfect iced summer treat. Need a little pick-me-up on a hot August afternoon? Indulge yourself at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>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 (&amp; 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.</p> <p>And be sure to catch Jessica's wonderful podcast THE DEEP DIVE with co-host June Diane Raphael.</p> <p>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 <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> where tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders!</p>

<p>I mean, have we got a great show this week or have we got a great show this week? We can assure you it exceeds our wildest "exceptations." After some serious&nbsp;Judge Judy talk and reminiscing about Jerry Hall, we welcome comedian and podcast host Megan Gailey to The Carriage House! 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. Megan joins us to give advice on being caught in the middle of two good friends' divorce, how not to be a complete mess, and how to get your man to stop mansplaining.</p> <p>This week's giveaway is a bottle of the summer's hottest drink...the Negronna! For a true Negronna Summer, get yours today at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a>. Remember that tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders, and, if you order the 2-pack, you'll get a fabulous Negronna tote!</p> <p>Of course, if the winner of the giveaway ends up being a teetotaler, we have just the thing: the coldest, most refreshing coffee around...Ask Ronna Coffee! It's the perfect iced refreshment for those hot summer afternoons. Get it at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>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&nbsp;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.</p> <p>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 <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> and, at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a>, you can subscribe and save. It's a Ronna (&amp; Bryan) kind of summer, pardon me!</p> <p>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 <a href="http://patreon.com/askronna" target="_blank">patreon.com/askronna</a> and join us for bonus episodes every Friday.</p> <p>By the way, as an added bonus, you can watch video of this entire episode on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/askronna&nbsp;</p>

<p>We have a VERY special episode today as we welcome one of our oldest and dearest friends to The Carriage House. He may even expect us to roll out the red carpet, Hollywood star that he is, as this is, technically, his THIRD appearance on Ask Ronna, excuse me. Get ready for the always fabulous Justin Kirk! You know him from WEEDS, ANGELS IN AMERICA, KIDDING, PERRY MASON, and about a million other things. Justin joins us to give advice on what to do when a friend makes inappropriate advances on your boyfriend, financial incompatibility, and leaving a family group chat without offending anyone.</p> <p>It's a Negronna Summer, and you can't properly enjoy it without your very own bottle (or two). It's the closest thing you'll ever get to a real Negronna outside of Italy, and tax and shipping are included on all domestic orders. And remember that if you buy the 2-pack you'll get your very own Negronna Summer tote to show off your amazing taste in cocktails! <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a></p> <p>This week's giveaway is a gift pack of Ask Ronna Coffee, which, served over ice, makes for a perfect summer treat. Whether it's Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla, get yours at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>Summer is officially in full swing. Ronna's 4th of July gala was as good as it's ever been (despite (Bryan) flirting with every&nbsp;man there) and we're sipping Negronnas poolside daily. Life is good! What could make it better? Maybe inviting into The Carriage House our dear friend, and one of the most prominent soccer broadcasters in the US, pardon me, Roger Bennett! 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. Roger joins us to give advice on a roommate overstepping her boundaries, a 44 year old friendship on the rocks, and a new beau who lets his dog sleep in the bed. Roger is a mischief maker, so he (&amp; Bryan) get along famously!</p> <p>By the way, Roger's book, (RE)BORN IN THE USA, is available at bookshop.org/shop/askronna and https://amzn.to/3Atp3C2</p> <p>The guests at Ronna's 4th of July gala couldn't have been more impressed with her bottles of Negronna. If you want to bring the same level of taste and luxury to your next summer gathering, order yours today! Remember that tax and shipping are included in the US, and, if you order the 2-pack, you'll get an absolutely fabulous Negronna Summer tote. Visit <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> now!</p> <p>And of course you can still get some Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla (or both, who are we kidding) at askronnacoffee.com to nurse those hangovers after an evening of Negronnas.<br> </p> <p><br> </p>

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! You know her as one of the hosts of the podcast SPANISH AQUÍ PRESENTS and her appearance this season on our favorite show HACKS. Raiza joins us to give advice on moving to Miami, some pet drama involving an ex, and dealing with a partner who's sensitive about his birthday. Negronnas continue to fly off the shelves, as those of you who caught our Instagram Live on Friday are well aware. Bright, boozey, delicious...it's the drink of the summer. And it's shipping NOW! Get yours while supplies last, and remember that tax and shipping are included in all US orders. Exclusively at NEGRONNA.COM Are you a teetotaler? Or are you perhaps looking for the perfect companion to the Negronna? Either way, you can't go wrong with Ask Ronna Coffee! Whether it's Carriage House Blend or Shades of Vanilla (or both), you're going to get an absolutely delicious cup of coffee, excuse me. askronnacoffee.com  

<p>Here we are, just the two of us! It's another back-to-basics Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and not a moment too soon. (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.<br> <br> The drink of the summer is ready to pre-order! We can't stress enough how refreshing and delicious the Negronna is, and with a bottle that was made to impress, you'll want to bring it to all your summer get-togethers. Pre-order it now and it begins shipping at the end of this week. Visit&nbsp;<a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a>&nbsp;or the link in our bio for details!<br> </p>
