Alison is joined this week by Delaney Rowe - writer and comedian famously known for her portrayal on TikTok of an ?absolutely insufferable female lead of an indie movie." Alison and Delaney advise callers on hosting an affordable dinner party, reconciliation with an ex, big old turnips and their mysterious spicy smell, preserved lemons (of course), and hearty salad staples. Mystery is not overrated (it?s hot!), check-ins can drag things out, and cocoa powder plus water does not equal chocolate water.

In this week?s episode, Alison hosts one of her favorite podcast hosts - Sam Fragoso of Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso. The talk with Sam (as always) is easy, but some questions from callers are hard.

In this pilot episode of a podcast about giving advice, it?s only fitting that Alison is joined by someone she goes to looking for it - longtime friend and Home Movies darling: David Cho.
