Bryan Bishop, aka Bald Bryan, sadly passed away on the evening of Sept 18. We are revisiting his first appearance on the show after some words from Alison at the top. Original description: Bald Bryan Bishop, Alison's cohost on The Adam Carolla Show stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to chat about petty grievances that are ultimately motivating, not wanting to be That Guy, the team of That Guys that are in his head, whether he and Alison should strive to be podcast ambassadors, passing Dr. Drew a demo tape of what would become The Film Vault, working at KROQ as a phone screener, whether you can be mad at people for their natural reactions to things, awful radio jingles, Adam Carolla being twenty percent more Adam on air and living with a brain tumor.
