<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>

<p>Now wait a minute. Ronna (&amp; Bryan)'s buttons may be getting pushed by this damn Zoom recording voice, but that doesn't change the fact that we have yet another Ask Ronna superfan on the show this week! We've got none other than comic artist, author, and soon to be movie mogul, excuse me, Adam Ellis! Adam joins us in The Carriage House to help give advice on a sizzling relationship with international intrigue, navigating family conflict, and individual dynamics within a group of friends.</p> <p>Tickets are on sale now for the 2nd Annual Valentine's Show with Ronna (&amp; Bryan)! Get your tickets today at <a href="http://askronnalive.com/" target="_blank">askronnalive.com</a> ...and don't forget that all Patreon members will have access to a private Patreon-only suite where they can have a watch party with their fellow CHIPs! Saturday 2/12...be there!</p>

<p>Look, there's no need to be modest here. Ronna looks fabulous today and she's fully embracing it. Plus we also have a show that we know you'll fully embrace too, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House is actor and producer Peter Kim! You know him from the hit Netflix movie THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION and Billy Eichner's upcoming rom-com BROS. Peter is also Creative Producer for the National Asian American Theatre&nbsp;Company and has a production opening soon at the Public Theater in New York called OUT OF TIME (go see it, New Yorkers!). Peter joins us to help give advice on how to tell a friend you don't feel comfortable attending their wedding, ideas on remodeling and sprucing up your house, and what to do when you think your new neighbors might actually be spies.</p> <p>Don't forget to catch Ronna (&amp; Bryan) this week on Bitch Sesh LIVE! They're boozing it up with the whole gang on Thursday 1/27 at 5:30pm PT.</p>

<p>Do NOT start with Ronna today. She's in no mood, and with (Bryan) in rare form and literally spilling the tea, you can be guaranteed one of the naughtiest and most mischievous Free Feeds we've had in a while. It's just Ronna (&amp; Bryan) this week, and, after some follow-ups and a quick dive into the private lives of raccoons, they give advice on dealing with relationship issues while co-parenting a dog and how to look and feel your best for a big event.</p> <p>Both Ronna (&amp; Bryan) will be on Bitch Sesh LIVE on January 27th at 5:30pm Pacific. It's a drink-and-watch, and they're providing everyone with Negronnas! And you can still get yours at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a> today.</p>

<p>Our new year just got better...he's back! (Bryan) is back from vacation, and it sounds like he had quite the time, excuse me. And if that's not enough, we're so excited to be joined in The Carriage House this week by a true Ask Ronna superfan: writer and activist Scarlett Curtis! Scarlett's books of curated essays, FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR PINK &amp; OTHER LIES and IT'S NOT OK TO FEEL BLUE &amp; OTHER LIES are award winning best sellers and absolutely worth the read. Scarlett joins us to give advice on some major birthday drama between friends, a friend's child with problematic beliefs, and a mother with a dirty house.</p>

<p>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. We've got producer Adam O'Byrne filling in for (Bryan) while he's on vacation, and our special guest is none other than former US National Champion and Olympic bronze medalist in figure skating, pardon me, Adam Rippon! 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.</p> <p>And don't forget to watch Adam's expert analysis on NBC next month during their coverage of the Winter Olympics in Beijing!</p> <p>Ronnukah&nbsp;Blend and Vienna in Winter were HUGE successes, but, alas, with the holidays over, they're no longer available. Lucky for you we still have some of the best coffee around with our Carriage House Blend and Shades of Vanilla. Order yours at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a> and remember that subscribers $3 per bag and that shipping is always free on domestic orders.</p>

<p>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. Joining us this week is none other than acclaimed journalist, author, and producer Frank Rich! 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.</p> <p>As we've said, when it's gone, it's gone...so be sure to get your Vienna in Winter blend at Ask Ronna Coffee before it's too late! It's getting rave, rave reviews, and you can get yours at <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p>

<p>This week we present the Free Feed to you, as Jean Dujardin says at the end of THE ARTIST, "with pleasure." We've got a real, honest to God actor in The Carriage House today, excuse me. You know him from OZARK, you know him from SCANDAL, you know him from RAY DONOVAN and a million other things: it's Jason Butler Harner! Jason, who turns out to be quite the tea spiller, pardon me, joins us to give advice on handling a decades long friendship drama, what to do when a friend makes a handcrafted gift for you that you hate, and how to deal with an unmotivated, weed-smoking boyfriend.</p> <p>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 <a href="http://askronnacoffee.com/" target="_blank">askronnacoffee.com</a></p> <p>And for those chilly Marblehead nights? Our friend Conor from Fiasco Wine and Spirits has us covered. Whether it's our Old Fashioned or SuperGay Martini gift sets or a gorgeous bottle of Negronna, we know how to take the edge off of a long winter's day. Get a set for your friends, and one for you, at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a></p>

<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.

<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>
