Podcast appearances and mentions of alexandra tsarpalas

On episode 48 I'm joined by the wonderfully creative Alexandra Tsarpalas. She is the other other half of Mom Genes, our long running Chicago comedy show that we hosted as your weird moms and invited other comics to portray their family members. After years of telling me she doesn't like scary movies, she FINALLY agreed to do my podcast. Together we discussed Troll 2 and all the campy ridiculousness absolutely told me why she picked it. This movie starts as a PETA propaganda film and ends as an Oscar Meyer commercial. And you better not be expecting trolls because there aren't any! Enjoy! You can follow Alexandra on all the platforms @keenobservation and check out her work here: https://www.alexandratsarpalas.com/

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.   Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.   Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.   This book is intended for mature audiences.     SHOW NOTES:    Previous Episodes: 6. ‘The Fir Tree’ Holiday Special w/ Kristin Clifford & Alexandra Tsarpalas 70.

It's the beginning of the charity season, and your host isn't feeling particularly chartiable. Returning veterans Cody Melcher, Alexandra Tsarpalas, and Dave Stinton are dragged into the cynical mire. Compassion fatigue and inefficient charities are discussed. A what-if scenario is discussed in which Mikhail Baryshnikov rules Russia instead of Vladimir Putin. We are collectively mean to a child with leukemia. All that, plus the horrifying dark side of Flipper!

On a week where North Korea dominated the news, Alexandra Tsarpalas and Mike Wiley come to discuss Pacific Rim geopolitics and the Benghazi hearings, but stay for the more serious matters of unauthorized silicone butt injections in Miami, and "Flamy," the ill-conceived Brazilian hospital mascot for child burn victims. I explain the plot of the 80s classic Red Dawn to my guests. Alexandra is fascinated with Faces of Meth. Amy Poehler's teeth are judged.

Happy Holidays and congratulations on surviving the Apocalypse! In celebration, Cody and Ranjit have invited over two of the most fun and joyous people in Chicago, Alexandra Tsarpalas and Kristin Clifford, to depress the hell out of them with Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Fir Tree’.
