Don't Be Alone with Jay Kogen

Jim Colucci & Frank DeCaro Explain Why Jay Alienates Stars


Listen Later

This is our most gossipy episode ever! Jim and Frank, one of my favorite couples, spill the tea on the icons you want to know most if it were 1983. Sarah Mills, Andy Warhol, and yes, humiliating yourself in front of Merril Streep are all on topic. We discuss occasionally overstepping and finding their way to any and every premiere and the joys of being a fan who gets to talk to the people they love. We talk about overstepping and We talk about the exclusive chat forum known as The Stump and how it affected all our lives.
