Ask Ronna

Now wait a minute. We can't thank those of you who joined us at the live show enough. We haven't had that much fun in ages, and yes, we're sure Conor's cocktail helped! We really should have taken this week off to recuperate, but we're here with a FANTASTIC show nonetheless! We give advice on workplace etiquette regarding a pregnant coworker, whether it's ok to go "29 crazy" even though you're in your early 30s, and dealing with an unpaid internship. Plus Ronna has the most visceral reaction to a cliffhanger we've ever heard. This is one for the books!

Now wait a minute. Ronna is beside herself because it seems (Bryan) isn't quite as lonely as he lets on. He had to take a "personal" day today (keep your eye out for any lobster boats on the bay that seem to be rocking a bit more than the others). In any event, we're so fortunate to have the absolutely delightful Jean Villepique as a guest host today! You know her from AP BIO on Peacock and about a million other things, excuse me. Jean joins Ronna in The Carriage House to give advice on breast reduction surgery, an impending break-up, and navigating a dear friend's health crisis.

Now wait a minute. Ronna (& Bryan)'s buttons may be getting pushed by this damn Zoom recording voice, but that doesn't change the fact that we have yet another Ask Ronna superfan on the show this week! We've got none other than comic artist, author, and soon to be movie mogul, excuse me, Adam Ellis! Adam joins us in The Carriage House to help give advice on a sizzling relationship with international intrigue, navigating family conflict, and individual dynamics within a group of friends.

Look, there's no need to be modest here. Ronna looks fabulous today and she's fully embracing it. Plus we also have a show that we know you'll fully embrace too, pardon me. Joining us in The Carriage House is actor and producer Peter Kim! You know him from the hit Netflix movie THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION and Billy Eichner's upcoming rom-com BROS. Peter is also Creative Producer for the National Asian American Theatre Company and has a production opening soon at the Public Theater in New York called OUT OF TIME (go see it, New Yorkers!). Peter joins us to help give advice on how to tell a friend you don't feel comfortable attending their wedding, ideas on remodeling and sprucing up your house, and what to do when you think your new neighbors might actually be spies.

Don't forget to catch Ronna (& Bryan) this week on Bitch Sesh LIVE! They're boozing it up with the whole gang on Thursday 1/27 at 5:30pm PT.

Do NOT start with Ronna today. She's in no mood, and with (Bryan) in rare form and literally spilling the tea, you can be guaranteed one of the naughtiest and most mischievous Free Feeds we've had in a while. It's just Ronna (& Bryan) this week, and, after some follow-ups and a quick dive into the private lives of raccoons, they give advice on dealing with relationship issues while co-parenting a dog and how to look and feel your best for a big event.

Both Ronna (& Bryan) will be on Bitch Sesh LIVE on January 27th at 5:30pm Pacific. It's a drink-and-watch, and they're providing everyone with Negronnas! And you can still get yours at negronna.com today.

Our new year just got better...he's back! (Bryan) is back from vacation, and it sounds like he had quite the time, excuse me. And if that's not enough, we're so excited to be joined in The Carriage House this week by a true Ask Ronna superfan: writer and activist Scarlett Curtis! Scarlett's books of curated essays, FEMINISTS DON'T WEAR PINK & OTHER LIES and IT'S NOT OK TO FEEL BLUE & OTHER LIES are award winning best sellers and absolutely worth the read. Scarlett joins us to give advice on some major birthday drama between friends, a friend's child with problematic beliefs, and a mother with a dirty house.

Now wait a minute. If you think we're resting on our laurels in the new year, you've got another think coming, excuse me. We're joined by not one, but TWO Adams this week. We've got producer Adam O'Byrne filling in for (Bryan) while he's on vacation, and our special guest is none other than former US National Champion and Olympic bronze medalist in figure skating, pardon me, Adam Rippon! The Adams join us to give advice on running into your ex on the street, dealing with a klutzy boyfriend, and what to do when you're worried about a roommate who may be living beyond their means. If you didn't love Adam Rippon before today, you will from here on out, believe us.

And don't forget to watch Adam's expert analysis on NBC next month during their coverage of the Winter Olympics in Beijing!

Now wait a minute. We've reached a true Carriage House Milestone. Our 100th Free Feed episode is here, and it might be the fanciest this show has ever been, excuse me. Joining us this week is none other than acclaimed journalist, author, and producer Frank Rich! Frank was with the New York Times from 1980 to 2011 and is currently writer at large for New York Magazine. He's also the producer of two HBO hits you may have heard of, pardon me, VEEP and SUCCESSION. After regaling us with stories of the late, great Stephen Sondehim, Frank helps us give advice on dealing with a breach of dinner party etiquette, what to do when a parent becomes too influenced with the pseudoscience of the "well being" movement, and how to get your partner on the same page when it comes to parenting.

As we've said, when it's gone, it's gone...so be sure to get your Vienna in Winter blend at Ask Ronna Coffee before it's too late! It's getting rave, rave reviews, and you can get yours at askronnacoffee.com

This week we present the Free Feed to you, as Jean Dujardin says at the end of THE ARTIST, "with pleasure." We've got a real, honest to God actor in The Carriage House today, excuse me. You know him from OZARK, you know him from SCANDAL, you know him from RAY DONOVAN and a million other things: it's Jason Butler Harner! Jason, who turns out to be quite the tea spiller, pardon me, joins us to give advice on handling a decades long friendship drama, what to do when a friend makes a handcrafted gift for you that you hate, and how to deal with an unmotivated, weed-smoking boyfriend.

We've had some chilly mornings in Marblehead recently, but we barely noticed because of our downright scrumptious holiday coffee blends. Ronna beats the freeze with her Ronnukah Blend and (Bryan) couldn't be cozier with his Vienna in Winter. Get yours today at askronnacoffee.com

And for those chilly Marblehead nights? Our friend Conor from Fiasco Wine and Spirits has us covered. Whether it's our Old Fashioned or SuperGay Martini gift sets or a gorgeous bottle of Negronna, we know how to take the edge off of a long winter's day. Get a set for your friends, and one for you, at negronna.com

Now wait a minute. Things may be getting tense between (Bryan) and his new nemesis Steve, but that doesn't change the fact that we have a SPECTACULAR guest in The Carriage House this week, excuse me. Joining us is comedian, actor, and writer Fortune Feimster! You know her from THE MINDY PROJECT, her Sirius XM show WHAT A JOKE WITH PAPA AND FORTUNE, and her hysterical Netflix comedy special SWEET & SALTY. Fortune joins us to give advice on some serious wedding dress drama, coping with a pet's untimely passing, and dealing with a bottle of wine that may or may not be cursed.

It's chilly out there, but the nip in the air is no match for our DELICIOUS holiday coffee blends from Ask Ronna Coffee. Whether it's the gelt infused Ronnukah Blend or cinnamon goodness of Vienna in Winter, they'll both start your holiday mornings off right. Get yours today at askronnacoffee.com

Of course, if you need something a bit...harder, shall we say, we have just the thing. Our gift sets from Fiasco Wine and Spirits in Brooklyn are absolutely divine. A Black Manhattan, an Old Fashioned, a SuperGay Martini, a gorgeous bottle of champagne, or a boozy Negronna...we have it all. Visit negronna.com today.
