Now wait a minute. We've got a 10/10 (that's 100% for all of you quick math types) guest this week. Joining us in The Carriage House is our dear friend Chelsea Devantez!

Chelsea is an Emmy-nominated writer, pardon me, as well as the host of the fabulous pop culture podcast GLAMOROUS TRASH. And her debut memoir, I SHOULDN'T BE TELLING YOU THIS (BUT I'M GOING TO ANYWAY), is a must read.

Chelsea joins us to give advice on two GREAT questions - one about a dog walker who finds something unexpected and the other about a not so suave kisser.

We had a BLAST at Lonely Hearts Live this past weekend! The music. The games. The giant fortune cookies. Jason Mantzoukas. NAOMI. Thanks to all who joined us. If you weren't able to join us on the day, you can still stream the show! Go to askronnalive.com to stream to your heart's content! 

And if that wasn't enough, we've got an AR Social Club coming up that will be one for the books; think 'alpine spring.' It'll be a fabulous event as always, and you're invited! Go to arsocialclub.com before March 1 to get your box and an invitation to the Kiki.

Now wait a minute. We've had hundreds of stars on this show before, but none who were LITERAL stars thanks to recent developments. We're THRILLED to welcome back comedian, podcast host, and current contestant on DANCING WITH THE STARS IRELAND Gearóid Farrelly!

Of course you know Gearóid from his many appearances with us and his hilarious stand-up shows, but he's also host of the podcast AGONY RANTS along with Niamh Kavanaugh. And if you're in Ireland, make sure you're watching and voting for him on Dancing With The Stars!

Gearóid joins us to give advice on remodeling a primary bedroom and bathroom and whether or not a Friday wedding is considered gauche.

Lonely Hearts Live is THIS WEEKEND! Join us for fun, games, giveaways, and advice. It's our best show of the year! A few Meet & Greet packages are still available as of this recording (act fast if you want one!), and if you're really looking to class up the joint this Valentine's Day, our Bubble Box package comes with an incredible champagne and Ronna's favorite item we've ever made - a gorgeous champagne stopper that's both elegant and practical. Join us on Sunday February 16 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT or, if you can't make it, stream it after! All ticket info at askronnalive.com

Now wait a minute. It's a Carriage House Catch-Up this week, and there aren't any rim jobs, ram jobs, or Rahm jobs for that matter. We've got two very fun letters to answer where we give advice on asking out a newly out friend and traveling internationally in a large group. It's more fun than doing hot yoga in thin pants!

As we've been saying this past week, our hearts go out to those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles. Our dear (Bryan) left to be with family this past week. He's totally safe and sound, but this means that he's not with us in The Carriage House this week. But we've got a VERY special guest host in his place, pardon me. It's none other than our dear friend Justin Kirk!

Justin joins Ronna to give advice on dealing with trust issues with a partner and whether or not to reconnect with a previously cut-off old friend who's now having serious health issues. 

Of all our live shows, the one that's really the highlight of each year is our Valentine's Lonely Hearts Live extravaganza. And in 2025 you better believe it'll be back and better than ever! Join us on Sunday February 16 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT for the festivities. More details to follow (guests, games, giveaways, and more). You can reserve tickets at askronnalive.com

From December 29, 2023: Have we made it through the holidays? (Bryan)'s in AI mode, but we have indeed made it through, and had a LOVELY time, pardon me. We've got a great last show of the year as we deep dive on the Senate staffer sex scandal and do some comments on the dinosaurs' final days as well as all the ribbon mail we've been getting. Then we give advice on how to remain supportive of "foolish" wedding plans and whether it's appropriate for a 34 year old gay man to have full-on Shirley Temple ringlets.

Now wait a minute. Here we are with the last Free Feed of the year, and Ronna (& Bryan) are in a dispute. Did (Bryan) actually want Ronna to join him in Milan for the holidays, or was an invitation extended because of guilt? They go at it, but luckily we've got the perfect mediator: it's the absolutely delightful Casey Wilson!

Of course you know Casey as the co-host of BITCH SESH at its new home, Garbage World. You can also see her as co-host of THE GREAT AMERICAN BAKING SHOW on Roku.

After helping negotiate the peace treaty for the Glickman-Safi Dispute of 2024, she helps us give advice on a pair of UK-based love quandaries.

We'll see you in the New Year with ALL NEW Free Feeds!
