Arden Myrin, fresh from food poisoning, is here to encourage my eventual move to Rhode Island. Rob Cohen, who has not only been to Arden's hometown but met her dad, is also here to be uncomfortable while I ask him personal questions. Tony is here too and claims he has no game but I don't buy it. I'm a little up in my head following a recent podcast appearance and also my husband is encroaching on my bathroom counter space. I'd write more here but if he sees this he'll be on to me. I have a plan thanks for my guests! And Jeff is here with drops a-plenty! Follow his cat on social media!
