(Bryan) is off being a Hollywood hotshot, but he's going to regret missing this week, excuse me. Joining Ronna in The Carriage House is baker extraordinaire, and our dear, dear friend, Edd Kimber!

Edd's new book, CHOCOLATE BAKING, is out now and is a MUST HAVE for anyone even remotely interested in baking and delicious desserts. He's also on a US tour for the month of April. Go say hello if he's in your neck of the woods!

Ronna and Edd give advice on how to deal with a mother who invites herself to your bachelor party and what to do when loose lips sink a (friend)ship.

Now wait a minute. We have a real GET this week, pardon me. This week we're joined in The Carriage House by our new best friend, the TikTok lawyer himself, Michael Foote!

Michael is an immigration and criminal defense attorney known for his day-in-the-life of a New York lawyer videos on TikTok. Not only is he whip smart and hilarious, but his work in federal court for detained migrants and extensive activist litigation in detention centers has brought him to the forefront of the immigration conversation in the US. He's also host of the podcast BRIEF RECESS. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Michael, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on helping a woman get her husband "a life" and how to recognize whether you're curating your life or running away from your problems. After hearing this week's episode, we promise you won't take the Fifth.

It's just Ronna (& Bryan) this week for a Carriage House Catch-Up and two very different questions. Jenny Zigrino's episode garnered a LOT of fun comments, and we even got a follow-up from the author of "Washington's Gay General!" Then we shift our attention to two dilemmas, one involving a forced lockdown with a married fling and the other with a porch light that just won't quit.
