Hi- I’m sure D & M mentioned this but did the membership with Wondery for early pod drops end? Do you have to sign up again? I can’t remember if I went through Spotify or Wondery but I did have the early membership. But as of last week there are no new updates on Spotify. Do I have to listen to it on the Wondery app or somewhere else? Any help? Appreciate it!
There is no one in real life I can mention this to so I thought I would explain it here:
In an old Armchair Expert episode, Dax talked about his Groundlings Wilford Brimley character and how there was an SNL Wilford sketch around the same time. And he thought it was a stolen idea because Wilford wasn’t in the public sphere (maybe he didn’t say “mad” but found it fishy or coincidental). And someone advised him something along the lines of “if you think that’s your only good idea, you should pursue suing/complaining about it but otherwise let it go.” And he let it go. (I very well could be getting these details wrong, while Wilford is brought up a lot on Armchair, this story was a few years ago.)
Today Paula Pell was on the Good Hang podcast and talked about writing the Wilford Brimley sketch for John Goodman and how she came to it.
I immediately thought of Dax’s story and just had to share my observation!
So I can see that Brandi Carlisle was on the regular feed - this never played on Wondery so seems the 1 week early feed is totally gone and now this week, no ep at all in the feed. Anyone else?
In the Alvin E Roth fact check, Dax was about to recommend a show but then Monica cut him off because she was hot. Has he said what show that is in a more recent episode? I’m dying to know! I hate when there’s unfinished thoughts
Here’s my dilemma. I have a truly perfect story and I’ve been watching and waiting for a fitting prompt to come up forever. I started thinking it wasn’t going to happen and started toying with the idea of submitting for wild card (why does this feel like a cop out?). I guess at some point I missed a month or 2 of checking the website and was so sad to suddenly see the perfect episode pop up last year. I told myself this prompt is definitely going to come back up so I’ll just wait it out. But it hasn’t come up and I know this story will kill. Do I wild card?????
Hey all, I love the pod, particularly experts on experts, and was wondering if you guys knew of any similar podcasts? Thanks!
I never listen to Jay shetty but this episode wrecked me. Postpartum depression is not joke.
I hope she finds the strength to do more press tour and come talk to Dax and Monica. She deserves her redemption arc.
That’s it. That’s my post.
Can't help wonder what D and M would be like in the sack.
D: performative male, talks about orgasm, etc., but at the end of the day is just about hammering, talking about himself, excusing shitty behavior bc of his addiction.
M: starfish. god forbids she exerts herself.
anyone else?
wtf are they thinking. Truly.
My nephew who is also a listener, sent me this picture of a Card at Starbucks. Not sure what they’re used for.
My brain automatically goes here now thanks to u/armchairexpert. I fear my sense of humor has become that of a 10-year-old boy.
Just curious… has Dax ever explained why he seems so oddly fascinated with the topic of unplanned evacuations? I’m not coming from a place of criticism at all — I’m a relatively new listener — but I’ve noticed he somehow finds ways to bring it into a conversations even when it’s completely unrelated to the topic at hand. It almost feels like a running fixation or recurring bit at this point. But why?
Perhaps a contentious post, but; Does anyone else think it was really out of touch that Dax wrote off his mom’s distrust in the government as age related? Like, I’m sorry but what?! Feels like he’s needing to read the room/state of the country at the moment.
