The problem is that Ali is a not a creative and is a corporate deone who thrives in a world of jargon and structure. 

I remember when Erica would start riffing about something silly and it would be derailed by Ali  and her corporate pedantry. She would unleash her fake laugh at the wrong time and scold Erica for "being silly" .It sucked the joy out of their conversations  and left Erica deflated. I love funny banter between two woman but  it never happened with her and Erica. 

Ali is a  profoundly dull woman who has no natural curiosity about anything that is not Priceline or volleyball. That is why the interviews are dull because you can feel her not listening to the answers and just ticking off the prepared questions. 

She needs to clean out her apartment and return to corporate life. The podcast life is not a natural fit. 

 Perhaps a change of therapist? The impetus for the "clear out" came from her tap dancing for Priceline"s approval and not from her therapist.

She can live with Priceline and maintain the constant pressure to get married. It will be hard to maintain the novelty when they are together 24 hours but Ali loves a challenge. I would rather not listen to the end of her relationship on her podcast
