Every Rom Com 53: Yes Man

This week on Every Rom Com we’re beginning our Self-Help Series with a look at the 2008 movie “Yes Man”! Joined by David Rosen of the Piecing it Together podcast, we explore the careers of Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel, dig into behind the scenes info, and get a bit personal as we talk about saying “yes” in our own lives. We’ll also talk to David a little bit about his new album, “More Content”! And stay tuned to the whole show for your chance to win a copy of the book “Yes Man” by Danny Wallace!
