Wait a minute. Yes, our dear (Bryan) is in Edinburgh right now, but we're just getting right into it this week because we have a special guest who's been in The Carriage House so much it might be insulting to call her a guest. She's family at this point, pardon me. It's our dear, dear friend Jessica St. Clair!

If you're not listening to Jessica's podcast THE DEEP DIVE (with the equally lovely June Diane Raphael), we don't know what to tell you. You're missing out!

Ronna and Jessica, who's off to the south of France tomorrow for a well earned vacation, have a little Carriage House Catch-Up of their own (did Ronna REALLY give Jessica some bad pot?) before giving advice on a mother vs mother-in-law battle and what to do with a boyfriend whose home is less than clean. It's time to get hinky.

If you're anywhere near Scotland, you've GOT to go see (Bryan)'s show ARE YOU MAD AT ME at the Edinburgh Fringe! Now showing through the end of August! Tickets at bryansafi.com or link in his bio.

Well, it's official! Our little baby boy (Bryan) is off to Edinburgh with his hilarious show. But before he goes, we give him the best send-off we can think of: a Carriage House Catch-Up!

After debating the best cookies in New York and the national scandals du jour, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on getting over the guilt of a marriage proposal (it's a complicated story) and what to tell the world if you're trying to hide a beard transplant.

Go. See. (Bryan). In. Edinburgh! He's going to take the Fringe by storm, and he'll deserve every ounce of success he gets. Tickets at bryansafi.com

Now wait a minute. We're rolling out the red carpet for our Hollywood guest this week. We're thrilled to welcome back to the Carriage House a true friend of the show, none other than Editor-At-Large of VARIETY (ever heard of it?) and journalist extraordinaire Kate Aurthur!

After some breaking news about all sorts of reality show drama, Kate helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on dealing with stinky neighbors and how to tell good friends that their dog is obese.

Our very own (Bryan)'s show is opening in Edinburgh next week! Go see him at the Fringe! Tickets at bryansafi.com

Now wait a minute. (Bryan) has a sudden work obligation and can only stay for the introduction (such is the life of a Hollywood A-Lister), but boy is he missing out. We suppose it's only fair, though, since Ronna missed out the first time this absolute literary legend was previously in The Carriage House. Joining us this week is the Queen herself, Susan Orlean!

Of course you know Susan as the best-selling author of THE ORCHID THIEF, which was adapted into the Academy Award winning film ADAPTATION with Meryl Streep. She's also the author of THE LIBRARY BOOK as well as a staff writer for THE NEW YORKER. Her new book, JOYRIDE, comes out in October! You can also find her Substack at susanorlean.substack.com

Susan and Ronna tackle one question this week, but it's a Dooze McBooze involving someone coming into a large inheritance debating how, or even whether, to help their less well-off siblings. 

(Bryan)'s Edinburgh show, ARE YOU MAD AT ME, is coming up at the end of the month and plays the Edinburgh Fringe for most of August. Are you going to be anywhere near Scotland in August? Go see (Bryan)! Tickets at bryansafi.com

Wait a minute. We've got one of our all time favorite devils in The Carriage House this week. Joining us is our dear, dear friend John Gemberling!

You know John from his million TV appearances on shows like BROAD CITY, MARRY ME, MAKING HISTORY, MIXED-ISH, and many, many more.

John helps Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on getting out of going to a family wedding and navigating a very long term relationship where marriage seems to be out of the question. John helps us turn this poop cruise right around!

Wait a minute. Sometimes people are funny. Sometimes people make you laugh. And sometimes, people can do both. We're thrilled to have just that person with us this week. Joining us in The Carriage House is the delightful Betsy Sodaro!

You can see Betsy on the hit CBS show GHOSTS, but you can also catch her on her two fabulous podcasts A FUNNY FEELING and, her newest, WE LOVE TRASH.

Betsy helps us give advice on a sister making tough financial decisions and dealing with a pair of mean gays.

Yes, (Bryan)'s kitchen and living room are in complete disarray, but he's still feeling fine because it's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week!

After a VERY interesting follow-up, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on what to do after accidentally sexting a married friend and how to navigate being uninvited to a wedding. Don't take unless you make!

Wait a minute. We've got a glamorous (and jet setting, pardon me) guest with us this week, and her appearance is destined to be a Carriage House Classic. We're thrilled to be joined by none other than the delightful Jameela Jamil!

Of course you know Jameela from her work on THE GOOD PLACE, SHE-HULK, and THE MISERY INDEX, but you can also catch her on her new podcast WRONG TURNS as well as the new Pixar movie ELIO, excuse me!

Jameela helps us give advice on dealing with a friend who hates your significant other and what to do when your partner's storytelling abilities are less than stellar. From our leathery bagels to yours, enjoy!

Ronna's off this week, but we've got one hell of a guest host, pardon me. Joining (Bryan) in The Carriage House this week is our dear, dear friend...the DELIGHTFUL Mary Holland!

You can catch Mary "The Netherlands" (as her friends call her) in just about every movie or TV show ever made, like GHOSTS on CBS, NIGHTBITCH with Amy Adams on Hulu, and many, many more. 

Mary (& Bryan) give some advice on dealing with layoffs and a first class bachelorette party problem.
