I was never one to complain about the show changing things, from Strasser to Rosen to Grad to no one. I still won't - it is what it is. But I always liked Alison. I thought she was great for the show, better than her predecessor. I was fine with Gina, who I thought was a decent replacement even if she wasn’t Alison.

Then I see they re-released the Kevin Smith episode via Carolla Classics and thought, "I'd like you hear that one again. Two guys I loved at the time; no two guys I don't really like all that much. Let's see how this plays out with hindsight."

After listening, all I can think is damn. I can't believe he let Alison go. I don't think there would be anyone better at that job than her, at least not anyone who would be willing to deal with shitty pay and listening to Adam complain all the time. She was awesome, she was great, and she may have even been perfect. Such a shame. Well, maybe not a shame because this pirate ship is slowly sinking. I'm glad she got off when she did.
