<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.

<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!

<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>

<p>How excited are we that summer is officially here? We can't wait to get to the Vineyard and sip Negronnas&nbsp;all season long. Unfortunately the Lobsterman won't be joining&nbsp;us, as (Bryan) and he have officially&nbsp;ended things, but you know who might join us in his place? This week's guest, the legendary Jason Mantzoukas! You know him from BIG MOUTH, PARKS AND REC, THE GOOD PLACE, and much, much more. He can be seen now in a new movie with Mark Wahlberg, excuse me, called INFINITE on Paramount + AND a new animated series on FOX called HOUSEBROKEN with Lisa Kudrow. Jason joins us to give advice on how to break it to your perfumier friend that their product stinks, what to do when you hate your daughter's fiance, and dating with an age gap.<br> <br> The Negronna is coming! You'll be able to order an absolutely gorgeous bottle of this perfect summer cocktail starting June 18th at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">negronna.com</a>. It's the closest thing you'll ever get to Ronna mixing you one personally. Don't miss out!<br> </p>

<p>Now wait a minute. Are we excited or are we excited? Not only do we have a great show and an amazing&nbsp;guest, but we have an announcement so thrilling we can't even contain ourselves. After a quick conversation about the magic of Salonpas™️, we welcome to The Carriage House the absolutely fabulous Caleb Hearon! You know Caleb from his incredible Twitter and IG videos (Variety included him on its "10 Comics to Watch in 2020" list, excuse me) and as a writer for the upcoming BIG MOUTH spin-off, HUMAN RESOURCES. Caleb helps us give advice on Facebook invites, how to talk about addiction recovery, and being a boy from the big city in love with a small town guy.<br> <br> So what's this big announcement we have? Joe Biden might call it a "big f*cking deal" if he were still allowed to swear. After months in the lab, we're SO thrilled to reveal the closest thing you'll ever get to a Negroni personally made for you by Ronna herself: it's the Negronna! In partnership with St. Agrestis in Brooklyn, we've come up with a perfectly mixed, boozey, bitter, and refreshing high-end cocktail that'll help you come out of quarantine in style. And with the absolute showstopper of a bottle it comes in, you'll be the life of any party you bring it to. We'll be drinking this in The Carriage House and on the Vineyard all summer, we can assure you! It's available for purchase on June 18th at <a href="http://negronna.com/" target="_blank">Negronna.com</a>, and will arrive just in time for the height of summer BBQ season. Stay tuned!<br> </p>

<p>We have got an absolutely FABULOUS show this week, even if Dante might be trying to sabotage it. After some mind-blowing&nbsp;Hollywood gossip (Ronna is gobsmacked to learn that Tyne and Tim Daly are siblings), we welcome to The Carriage House director, writer, and producer extraordinaire&nbsp;Lucia Aniello! You know her from her work on Comedy Central's BROAD CITY, the movie ROUGH NIGHT, and as the creator of our favorite show on TV right now, HACKS on HBO Max.

<p>You'll have to pardon us as we start off this week with a minor crisis. (Bryan) is over-caffeinated it seems, but not even a triple shot of espresso can make us lose sight of what an absolutely spectacular time we're about to have in The Carriage House. We're so happy to welcome the hosts of the delightful DOUGHBOYS podcast, Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell! If you're a fan of podcasts and you're not a fan of these guys, you don't know what you're doing. Nick and Mike are here to help us give advice on dealing with a boyfriend with a mullet, telling a good friend you're not interested in going to their bachelorette party, and asking for a raise at work.</p> <p>Don't forget about our Coffee Klatch coming up on June 11th! It'll be a live event just for our subscribers as a little "thank you" for all your support. Not a subscriber? What are you waiting for! You'll save $3 a bag with free shipping and you can cancel at any time.</p>

<p>So...we had an epiphany this week. We felt we needed to get back to basics, and for Ronna (&amp; Bryan) to spend some quality time together on the Free Feed, just the two of them. It's time for a Mental Health Day...an intimate Carriage House Catch-Up to reconnect and refresh. And we've got a catch-up for the ages!&nbsp; Chunky smoothies, slutty summers, Sherman, Zabar's rats, and more. Plus we give advice on mending a rocky relationship between bandmates, a delicate surrogacy issue between friends, and what to do after a shocking (and highly disturbing) discovery about an ex.<br> <br> Attention Ask Ronna Coffee subscribers. We're coming up on the ONE YEAR anniversary of Ask Ronna Coffee. Can you believe it? We're so excited to be able to provide a truly phenomenal coffee product, and we couldn't have done it without you.

<p>There is so much happening in the world right now, but we're DYING to know more about Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce. Who is this former lover that&nbsp;Bill&nbsp;has been spending time with in the Outer Banks? How long has this arrangement been going on? How will it affect their foundation's charitable giving? Enquiring minds! Needless to say, we're giving you a lot to put into your earhole wank bank this week (not our expression, excuse me). And if that weren't enough, we're also delighted to welcome to The Carriage House writer, comedian, and podcast host Jamie Loftus! You know Jamie from her podcast THE BECHDEL CAST and as an Emmy&nbsp;nominated writer for ROBOT CHICKEN, plus her hilarious presence on Twitter!

<p>It's a good thing we've purveyors of some of the best coffee around, pardon me, because we'll need a few cups to deal with our spectacular and vivacious guest this week!

Catch her all new show "Extra Special Comedy Special" on Apple TV and OUTtv now!

<p>Now, wait a minute. This is it. The time has arrived. One of our most eagerly anticipated guests we've ever had in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is none other than "instant" New York Times Bestseller (just add water) Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney! Her second book, GOOD COMPANY, is out now, and it's a must-read smash hit. Cynthia is eager to make her Free Feed debut, and she doesn't disappoint when she helps us give advice on dealing with a very strained family relationship, the pitfalls of young (and fickle) love, and an intergenerational dog drama.<br> <br> GOOD COMPANY is officially a New York Times Bestseller, and you can own it today!

Keep an eye out for what promises to be a, shall we say, intense video experience.<br> <br> There's never been a better time to join us on Patreon. Case in point: we posted our Oscar Wrap-Up show yesterday where we give our two cents on what was certainly a "unique" ceremony, to put it mildly. We have a LOT to say about it, and it's available ONLY on Patreon.<br> </p>

<p>Now, wait a minute. We may be exhausted from this past weekend (Ronna's tootsies are still hurting) but it's only because we hit it out of the waterpark with our Oscars Preview Party Live Show (if you'll pardon (Bryan)'s mixed metaphor). Thank you all for coming! It was a BLAST, but we're not done entertaining you this week. We're beyond excited to welcome to The Carriage House comedian, actress, and writer Greta Titelman! You know Greta from her podcast THE WORST as well as from HBO's quirky hit series LOS ESPOOKYS. Greta helps us give advice on a very troubling situation with a friend's husband, dealing with sexual compatibility in a new relationship, and the mail forwarding drama to end all mail forwarding dramas.<br> <br> Thanks again to all of you who joined us in The Carriage House on Sunday evening for the Oscars Preview Party Live Show. As an extra treat for our Patreon subscribers, join us on Monday, April 26th (the morning after the Oscars telecast) for an Oscars wrap-up special.

Check it out!<br> </p>

<p>Now wait a minute. You know her as Ronna. A few people call her Ronnie, and only Andy Cohen calls her Rona, but, whatever you call her, she and (Bryan) are here this week with a truly fabulous guest. We're so excited to welcome comedian, writer, and presenter London Hughes to The Carriage House! You know her from her Netflix special TO CATCH A DICK as well as her appearances on THE HISTORY OF SWEAR WORDS. London helps us give advice on offending your in-laws, living a lie with your barber, and what to do when you find a playmate for your dog only to realize that you hate its owner.<br> <br> It's almost here! Our Oscars Preview Party LIVE from The Carriage House is THIS WEEKEND! Join us on Sunday 4/18 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT for analysis, games, prizes, music, and so much more. &nbsp;With Variety’s own Kate Aurthur &amp; 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&nbsp;<a href="http://askronnalive.com/" target="_blank">askronnalive.com</a>&nbsp;, and we even have a few Meet &amp; 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!<br> <br> 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 (&nbsp;<a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/askronna" target="_blank">https://bookshop.org/shop/askronna</a>&nbsp;)and send your questions for Cynthia by 4/20.<br> </p>

<p>Look, we receive hundreds of letters a month here at Ask Ronna. But with the number of letters we get about issues of the boudoir, we might be two steps away from becoming the Penthouse Forum. Not that we're complaining! You've written in with some, shall we say, titillating questions during the pandemic, and, as you know, we save our most titillating letters for our cliffhangers. So, without further adieu, we present you with Classic Cliffhangers: Carnal Knowledge, Part Deux, a collection of some of our most outrageous letters, including a sexy encounter with a straight friend, the story of the "best gay son" from Cleveland, and an accidental sext.</p> <p>And you can catch the ENTIRE episode on YouTube! Visit youtube.com/askronna to watch.<br> <br> Of course, if you joined us every Friday on Patreon, you'd be getting cliffhanger answers every week along with our most intimate Carriage House experience. Give it a try! Just $5 a month gets you access to a bonus show every Friday, and $10 a month gets you VIP Sauna Privileges access with full video of the episode along with other goodies.</p> <p>Our Oscars Preview Party LIVE at The Carriage House is coming up on 4/18! Predictions, special guests, games...we've got it all. Get your tickets at askronnalive.com !</p> <p>Today's the day! Carriage House sweetheart Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's new novel GOOD COMPANY is officially on sale! But if you pre-ordered it, it should be in your mailbox momentarily. Cynthia joins us on the Free Feed on 4/27, so be sure to read GOOD COMPANY and send us your questions for Cynthia by 4/20. Here's your chance to pick a New York Times bestselling author's brain, pardon me. Need a copy? Get it here: https://bookshop.org/shop/askronna&nbsp;</p>

<p>Have we got a show this week or what? First off, it's Comedy Week on Stitcher and we're absolutely thrilled to be included. And with (Bryan) back in The Carriage House again (and not off on a commercial shoot as Marblehead's most vaccinated actor), we thought it was the perfect time for a good old fashioned Carriage House Catch-Up. And, between you and me, I think we deliver in spades! After covering everything from grooming to television to physics, we give our advice on whether or not to tell your husband you made out with your best friend, what to do when you find out one of your best friends is MUCH older than you thought, and some luxurious gift advice for family members going through a stressful start to this year.</p> <p>It's coming! Our Oscars Preview Party LIVE from The Carriage House is happening on Sunday, April 18th, at 8pm ET / 5pm PT...and tickets are available NOW! $15 gets you Dolby Theater access, but, if you want the real red carpet treatment with a 1-on-1 Meet &amp; Greet with Ronna (or Bryan), you need to act fast! Those tickets are limited! Visit <a href="http://askronnalive.com/" target="_blank">askronnalive.com</a> for details.</p>
