315 - The Tastiest People Around: Halloween Candy Taste Test with Paul F. Tompkins and Janie Haddad Tompkins
Ask RonnaShow Notes
They're back! And a ghostly chill moves through the air! Paul F. and Janie Haddad Tompkins join us to taste test some of this year's trendiest candy, including freeze-dried Skittles and enough candy corn variations to make you regret waking up this morning.
You'll know which candy to buy (and which to avoid) as we review Reese's Mini Pumpkins, Mr. Beast Feastables, Nerds Gummies, Cadbury Caramellos, Brach's Mellowcremes, Nerds Candy Corn, Spooky Freeze-Dried Skittles, and Bubs Swedish Skalle.
Want more of Paul and Janie? You know you do! You can follow them on Substack of course (Weekend Water). And you can catch Paul at the Elysian in LA for his first stand-up show in years on November 28th. Called CRAWLING BACK, it's sold out at the moment, but there may be tickets released closer to showtime. And you can catch Janie on the hilarious REGULAR SHOW: THE LOST TAPES on Hulu and HBO. She'll also be at Rhode Island Comic Con in Providence, November 6-8.
And of course Ronna (& Bryan) have a show of their own coming up...and it's a DOOZE! Ronnukah Live is coming to the Bell House in Brooklyn on November 21st for TWO shows at 5:00 and 8:30. It'll be THE Carriage House social event of the season and is not to be missed. Tickets at askronnalive.com

Hello! Next week we've got our annual Halloween taste test episode with our dear friends Paul F. and Janie Haddad Tompkins. But in the midst of shoving sugar down our gullets, we got sidetracked with the Kelly Clarkson / Art of Play drama. We thought it would be fun to release that discussion in its entirety as a bonus sweet treat for your to savor. We have a LOT to say!
Terry Gross, eat your heart out. On this week's Free Feed, we're tan and ready to gab about a follow-up from the friend who was on the business end of a letter we received a few weeks ago. Then we give advice on how to deal with a frequent gym-goer with a sweat problem and what to do when your spouse wants you to lose weight.
Hi, all you Frooties! We've got a great show this week as we gab about everything from Aaron Sorkin's tan to the lesbian bar mask drama. Then, after a follow-up from the Vegas odd throuple, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on dealing with a high-strung friend and how to handle a husband who's not keen on socializing.
Hi, gorgons! We've got a show and half for you this week, excuse me. After a follow-up from the 'Job from Hell' letter writer, Ronna (& Bryan) give advice on choosing a bridesmaid and how to handle a best friend's husband who can be, shall we say, 'uncouth.'
Welcome to Boston Logan International Airport. Wouldn't you love to hear Ronna's mellifluous voice say that every time you land in Boston? It could happen!
