A Message From

it's not goodbye

The key word in the episode title is PUSHES. Indicating that I DON'T cross any boundaries. Important to note! That's all I'm going to write today. Which is ironic considering we told you all to check the episode description in the end. Hehehe! - Edward. --- Want to leave us a message? Questions, comments, concerns, answers, praise, criticism.

It's hard out here. We have several oopsies to confess.  1. We did not realise either of us could record last week and assumed the other could not. Hence, no episode last week! For a podcasting duo, our communication is terrible.  2. Alyson (and by extension me) forgot to hit record on the video. So we are going back to our audio-only roots this week! Whoops! Other than those two HUGE production slays on our end, we also killed it in our two weeks off. I paid an ISNANE price for bagels in Brooklyn. Alyson ran all around town just to pick up nothing. I took the godforsaken Amtrak (actually nbd this time). And Alyson ditches her entire Primark haul in the store.  We need some wins on this pod. -Edward --- Want to leave us a message?

Hello, dear listeners and watchers! It's been a rough week chez AMF. I had computer problems, made countless shipping mistakes, and technology in general was not my friend. Alyson said the vibes were off on her end too.  We recorded this on a Friday so there is a little Fun Bev Friday talk as we sip our drinks. Alyson pulls a fast one on me. And we discuss soap operas a bit.  Hope you enjoy! -Edward --- Want to leave us a message? Questions, comments, concerns, answers, praise, criticism.

Well, Alyson and I just read this article which pretty much sums up today's episode's vibe. So many possessives.  Alyson has another violent run-in. DAI. She screws up her MacDo order. DAI. The merit of Amorino is debated. (I'm Team No, she's Team Yes). DAI. That last dai doesn't really work, but whatever. Alllllora I talk about my last day at CMU. And my new endeavours at Pitt! We've got some Polish citizenship updates. Alllora I'm also taking Polish classes again. The vibes are eerily similar to my Italian class experience. And is pre-workout worth it? Kind of. Maybe? Allllora tbd.  Enjoy the episode! *wild Italian gesticulation here* -Edoardo --- Want to leave us a message? Questions, comments, concerns, answers, praise, criticism.

Honestly, not sure what even happened in this episode and I just edited it. Listen and let us know lol. I do remember talking about lantern flies! And Alyson ventures to France.

This is a beefy episode! Much to cover over the past week. No one is playing chicken when it comes fessing up the highs and lows of the week.  Alyson squeals on an attention seeker. There's some turkey talk regarding topics from last week. I'm a total ham reciting the intro. And catastrophe is avoided! Oh, we also play a game. See you next week! -Edward --- Want to leave us a message? Questions, comments, concerns, answers, praise, criticism. Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

Yeah, you read that right. I was evangelised (unsuccessfully) at a bus stop. It's another doozy this week.  Alyson shares stories about a dramatic furniture pick-up and planking in the office. And then she teases us about a plant she acquired with no picture!! Other than being evangelised, I was also therapised and defeated. Again, it's been a week.  There's a birthday shoutout and some quick updates. Enjoy the ep! We'll catch yinz next week. -Edward --- Want to leave us a message?

Un autre semaine chez AMF. Oh la la! Baguette! You wouldn't know by this description but we do not speak French in this week's episode. Instead, I ask Alyson yet again if she knows random words in German. We discuss the German Duolingo Owl's escapades in Berlin. And Alyson keeps her Duolingo streak up at the club.  Alyson processes her sticker trauma live on the pod. We drink and share fun beverages. And I FINALLY, FINALLY talk about F1 on the pod.  Ciao!! -Edward --- Want to leave us a message? Questions, comments, concerns, answers, praise, criticism.

Another week and we're still here! Iconic. This week Alyson and I share some stories involving frisbees, black and white photo bins, and BIG EMMA'S.  We go over the hottest nail trends in Germany and the quirks of death certificates.  I'm sipping (water) in style and Alyson has become a dancing diva of the German club scene (exaggeration). Also, WHERE ARE THE SONGS OF THE SUMMER?? Enjoy another week of AMF! -Edward --- Want to leave us a message? Questions, comments, concerns, answers, praise, criticism.

Well, hola de nuevo!! You probably thought you'd heard the last of us. PSYCH. We're back! Alyson and I relearned how to plug in our mics, hit record, and do what we do best: ramble. Alyson shares two firsts involving a football/soccer match. I upgrade my eyeballs big time. Someone is used as a human shield. My parents become international allies. And Alyson helps us determine what soap tastes like. A woman in STEM! Enjoy! We're glad to be back in your podcast feeds. -Edward --- Want to leave us a message?

Another week, another guest! Alex is on the pod this week for her yearly appearance. Live and in colour, Alex shares her Target highs and lows. Alyson ranks mortadella, bologna, and hot dogs. Edward gives his review of the Throat Coat. And we have some audio troubles in the bottom half. Oopsie! Or as Alyson might put it, "LIPS AND BUTTS." --- Want to leave us a message?

Come on, fan favourite! (RuPaul's Drag Race reference.) Fan favourite Kitty is on the pod today! It's been a while, but we're glad to have her back. Alyson declares herself a hater. Edward is employed and living a vibeless life. Kitty is envious of German "quiet hours." Sins are committed at fish fries. And we (kind of) answer the question, "Who are the Knights of Columbus?" --- Want to leave us a message? Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

We're back, babes! Time to kick off Season 2 the only way we know how - a message from Bobby. But things are different this time around, because Bobby comes on the pod! Alyson and Edward give some general life updates. Big and small, respectively. Bobby recounts his time in Toulon. Memory Lane is dragged out and trodded on. And Olly makes a guest appearance, if only aurally.  --- Want to leave us a message? Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

It's the end of the year which could only mean one thing. AMFies! Alyson and Edward each award their personal AMFies for categories we all know and love such as book, tv show, song. But this year, we've got some new ones. Who will take Alyson's AMFie for Best Twitter? (Edward hates it.) Who will win Edward's AMFie for Best Instagram? (Alyson guesses it easily.) And will we both choose the Paris trip we went on together for Best Trip? (You probably already kNOw.) Enjoy this last episode of 2022, and we will see you all in a month!

The second to last episode of the year! Aaron writes in to us asking about holiday movie favourites - turns out we're both Scrooges. Edward has a precarious new set-up. Alyson relives an old grudge. We plan a little meet-up in Pittsburgh. There's a debate about action films. The classics are loved and hated. Everyone wants to be a part of the puzz club. And Christmas is coming up way too fast.

Happy Holidays from AMF! Today, Hailey, from Crowner Brook Studio, (and a long time friend of Edward's) writes in to ask us about how we like to gift during the holidays. Alyson ends her boycott of L'Occitane. Edward is back in the US. We debate gift shops. A bag, named Pam, takes up way too much airtime. No hints are given away about presents bought this year. And we take a stance on giving cards. Thanks to Hailey for sending in a message!

Jeff writes in to get us nostalgic yet again. We're taking a look back at things we miss doing and just don't have time for as adults. Edward misses taking a few snaps and going outdoors. Alyson misses biking. We chat cuisines and qualify rapids. --- This week on amfpod.com: Alyson's contenders for book of the year. --- Want to leave us a message?

Just us today! We haven't recorded in a while so it's time for a little catch up. Alyson braves some snow and predicts (hopes for) a French win at the World Cup. Edward gets interviewed at the park and explores a "new" airport. --- This week on amfpod.com: false friends. --- Want to leave us a message?

What are we eating at Edward's Thanksgiving? Jenn and Aubree ask for some insight on the menu. And spoiler alert: they don't find out much. Alyson gets heated over boards and triglycerides. Edward can't make a decision to save his life. Backhanded compliments are made. Bathrooms confuse us. And someone is freed from a FitBit.  --- This week on amfpod.com: Paris food recommendations. --- Want to leave us a message? Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

Hope you're hungry, cause today's episode is all about soup. Stacy writes in to get a temperature check on soup. And we're feeling warm! Alyson has a soup confession that rocks Edward's world. Edward tries to define soup. Bisques are not for babies. We're tossing out pants. A wild request is made. And yes, there's an spicy Italian class update!! --- This week on amfpod.com: reunited in Paris

Karaoke - you either love it or hate it. Just like us here at AMF. Edward loves it. Alyson (kinda) hates it. Jordan writes in to ask about karaoke stories and go-to songs. Edward always sings the same, predictable song. Alyson has only done karaoke twice! There's a noise update. Someone is funning and running (read: walking). And a list of the greatest karaoke songs baffles and confuses us.  --- This week on amfpod.com: a book review of A Year in the Merde! --- Want to leave us a message?

Today, we have something that hasn't happened since the very FIRST episode - a message from Edward. In a bit of a "tell-all" episode, Edward sheds some light on a very important life update. Alyson admits a fault in gardening. Neighbours are causing a ruckus and calming a ruckus. An enemy becomes a friend. A friend aligns with an enemy. Something is dunked in apple cider. And Edward is moving back to the United States. --- This week on amfpod.com: nothing new - but check out previous posts! --- Want to leave us a message?

Hocus Pocus and Edward have at least one thing in common: they're both 29. Brittany writes in to ask us our opinion on the sequel to the magic. And it didn't disappoint! Alyson shares her version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but it's A Squirrel, a Nail, and a Tire. Edward is gaslit by a group of 70 year olds. Frankenweenie and himbos are discussed at length. There are bits enjoyed and bits missed. There's a smidge of singing? And someone is bribed. --- This week on amfpod.com: a recommendation on Merlí. --- Want to leave us a message? Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

After an impromptu rendez-vous à Paris, we're back to debrief what Kathy calls in and refers to as Alyson's missed love connection. Alyson could be married to a Frenchman right now! The dream! In addition to this tragique tale, we compare and contrast our journeys home. Alyson witnesses a horrifying example of Americans abroad. Edward is deemed a child at airport security. Our travel anxieties are swapped. And a futon is shared.  --- This week on amfpod.com: nothing new this week. A little break on the blog. Check out our more recent posts!

Not sure what to wear for Halloween? Neither does Daisy. Dipping our toes into spooky season, we try to think of some costumes that might be a hit (or miss) this year. Edward learns all about flax seeds. Alyson has a troubling favourite movie from childhood. Daisy becomes Emily. Emily is in Villefranche. A boys choir is discussed. Someone is hosting a pierogi cooking class. And we're all dressing up as the cast members from Mob Wives on October 31st. --- This week on amfpod.com: dressings galore. --- Want to leave us a message?

Pilar is back and she's asking about Edward's least favourite activity: hiking. For someone who hates hiking, Edward certainly has many stories. In today's episode, Alyson pledges a goal before she moves from Maryland. Edward brings up Formula One. Apps are deleted en masse. 300 sheep are lost. Flights are landing very low. And the Polenta Queen is (re)introduced. --- This week on amfpod.com: various hikes in the DMV. --- Want to leave us a message? Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

S-P-O-R-T. SPORT SPORT SPORT! This is basically all Edward heard for the second half of today's episode. Thanks to James, Alyson got the opportunity to wax poetic about her favourite topic. A lot happens, per usual. Edward is quizzed. A Gen Z karma point is received. We try to patent a system. Someone is bedazzling trucks with philosophical bumper stickers. There's a technical issue. The Paris vibe becomes a religion. And Alyson reveals a shocking side of herself. (She's a Barb.) --- This week on amfpod.com: some Salman Rushdie appreciation. --- Want to leave us a message?

Everybody on the pod is ready for fall, including Michelle! She wrote in asking us to discuss what we're most excited about in the upcoming season. Alyson is amped for (American) football. Edward can't wait to mess around with the simulation. Uniqlo zip-ups are snug, maybe a little too snug. A new mammal is discovered. A woman smokes on a hill. Gender is a construct. We finally finish talking about Alone Season 8. And fall apparently can't come soon enough. --- This week on amfpod.com: a Catalan tv show review! --- Want to leave us a message?

In today's episode, Sarah tasked us with revisiting our 2022 resolutions and goals. How exactly are we doing? It's a mixed bag. Predictions about the Alone finale are made. Alyson reveals a surprise interview. Edward declares his love for garbáge films. Tables are replaced. Photos are taken. And has Alyson edited an episode of the podcast?

It's back to school, kiddos! Julian writes in to ask about any back to school tips (few) or any first day of school memories (hazy) we might have. Edward shares an important reading update. Alyson surprises with a gift. Alone is skipped! Dark turns are taken. Many things are repeated. People are going to their schools early. Mail is sent. And maybe most importantly, a Facebook note is read aloud to the class (you). --- This week on amfpod.com: Z&Z. --- Want to leave us a message?

Scott from Turning Up the Heat sent us a message today that asks us to go a little deeper than we're used to. Today we're discussing Invisible Illnesses and our experiences with them. We get into a little math and some stats. Alyson reveals a calculator secret. Edward is back on BeReal. Fish baskets are everywhere and useless. And we avoid asking Siri anything.

Madonna once said "life is a mystery." What does that have to do with today's episode? Nothing. Alyson's father, Tony, sends us in a message asking about our top tourist church experiences. And it turns out, we've seen a LOT. Edward tries to flaunt what God gave him. Alyson has a favourite exterior AND interior. A crypt floods. Polish is spoken. Latin is translated. And baby is explained.  --- This week on amfpod.com: a book review of The Iliad & The Odyssey! --- Want to leave us a message? Call us at 202-630-4509 or email us at amessagefrompod@gmail.com!

Reed, Sean, and Drew from The Most Millennial Podcast tug at our heartstrings today. The boys called in to ask us about our favourite nostalgias as millennials. Why did we eat the weirdest foods in the 90s? And did anyone drink normal Coca-Cola in the early 2000s? Alyson divulges a childhood desire. Edward confesses to cheating the (pikachu) system. An NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys debate remains unsettled. And it comes to our attention that during Edward's childhood, no one was connecting the dots about him being gay.

SHHHH - you're entering a quiet space. Not really. Especially not when we argue back and forth about travel scenarios. But today's message is from Will about our favourite libraries. Edward celebrated a peculiar 21st birthday. Alyson was tearing through some Nancy Drew.

We're traveling again, but to nowhere you'd expect. Mara writes in to ask about some unconventional vacation hot spots. Alyson deals with an infestation. Edward literally just woke up.

Oh dear listeners - Elisa has answered Edward's prayers. We're talking about food today! Specifically: some of the best food experiences we've had in life so far. We also discuss the 8th season of Alone. So, if you haven't seen, then like...massive spoilers. Alyson doesn't eat some lobster pasta. Edward eats something sooo greasy. Bears are trying to eat naked humans. And in the end, we're all just hungry, hungry hippos.  --- This week on amfpod.com: a review of To Paradise! --- Want to leave us a message?
