The Conners go out bowling while, as usual, Sarah and Alvaro unpack their trauma. We find out the true pronunciation of Alvaro’s name, and the moments we each realized we were gay. Roseanne does a bang-up job embarrassing her kids at the bowling alley, but not as bad as the time Alvaro’s mom got a bug bite on her face. Or when Sarah’s dad had a cast on his foot. Ugh. Mortifying.

For Roseanne Watch: we analyze a silly instagram video that, Sarah insists, has hidden meaning. And wonder why the f The Ellen Show is posting about Roseanne in 2024.

We are loving the wholesome family cutie-pie vibes in this episode, so much so that Alvaro admits he’s finally liking the show. ONE OF US confesses a deep attraction to Roseanne, and Sarah remembers the meanest thing Alvaro has ever done to her.

At the end of the episode we get into the latest Roseanne Barr news. Spoiler: she’s a confusing gal.

The episode this week is all about the dynamic between Jackie and Dan… maybe the two best characters and it shows. We wonder which one of them Roseanne would rescue from a burning building. And take a quiz from Becky’s teen magazine “which Roseanne character are you?” the results have everyone speechless.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for Roseanne Watch. Where we question our own sanity and our own segment. 

Another week, another recap. Alvaro and Sarah continue to pick apart Dan and Roseanne’s marriage… specifically, Dan’s reluctance to do date night with Roseanne, let ALONE dance with her… We discuss what we might use against each other someday in divorce court, and compare the mothers in our hometown to Cindy Clark’s mother.

Stay tuned at the end of the episode to hear about what Roseanne has been up to this week in 2024.

This week, we recap Season 1 Episode 2 of Roseanne: “We’re In The Money.” Lying and Money are the two big topics of discussion in both the Conner and Gabrielli-Chavez households. Find out what Sarah and Alvaro would do with an extra 50 bucks in their pocket, and why Alvaro, unlike Darlene, is physically incapable of lying to his mom. 

At the end of the episode, we debut a new segment we’re calling “Roseanne Watch,” in which Sarah and Alvaro discuss what present-day Roseanne Barr has been up to. 

We’re off to the races recapping the pilot episode of Roseanne “Life and Stuff,” which originally aired on October 18, 1988. 

Alvaro and Sarah finally explain the origin of their podcast name, and count the number of snowflakes Roseanne is up against (there are 4, including us). They lust over John Goodman, and complain about his character’s inability to share emotional and literal responsibilities with his wife. 

Stay tuned at the end of the episode for an interview with the ORIGINAL DJ, Mathematics Professor Sal Barone. He shares the inside scoop on why he was replaced after the pilot episode, and what it’s like going through life as “that guy from that one episode Roseanne.”

Alvaro and Sarah are doing things a little bit differently this episode. Instead of rewatching, they’re giving context. Starting all the way back in 1952, with the birth of the notorious woman herself, Roseanne Barr. 

From her days as an early feminist, to a tabloid vixen, to the MAGA-loving “Twitter” tyrant we know today. This is everything you need to know about Roseanne before rewatching her beloved sitcom with us.  

Brooklyn-based comedian and TikTok celebrity Alvaro Chavez (@hot_girl_jennifer) has never seen a single episode of Roseanne. Luckily his old friend, journalist and Roseanne superfan Sarah Gabrielli (Cruising Podcast), is here to guide him.

Join them as they rewatch every episode, and unpack the legacy and demise of America’s least favorite funny lady, Roseanne Barr.
