Swirls,
Anyone else? Sorry - please not a snark just wanting to open a discussion so I can know im not alone?! The recap of the saga between Bailey from Summer House and Dave Portnoy today. This was fueled by jackie .. feel like it was made clear.. and I hated it. The saga is bizarre, but the obvious defending of dave was even worse like that was weird? Why do they/jackie love him so much? They loved Bailey up until now too. Why the flip flop. It feels so icky sometimes

Anyone else feel any type of way over the fact they have not spoken on the cornell 7? Or have they and I missed it? I love the way Giggly Squad spoke of it. I have cut the sissies a lot of slack. My sister stopped listening awhile ago because of something she disagreed with, and I thought I wouldn’t get there. But this just makes me feel…. Sad. Like they don’t have to get all philosophical, I know they are boy moms. But just something saying anything would be nice to hear…. Idk just wanna hear what the girlies think

Anyone else suffering through the episodes during DWTS? I just feel like this isn’t a show that’s exciting enough to talk about for the entire episode. Thank god it’s only on once a week

I've noticed a recurring theme in this sub where someone will ask a perfectly reasonable question about the podcast, Jax and claud, sometimes even prefacing it with "Maybe I missed it," and the responses are immediately defensive or outright hostile.

Instead of answering the question, people jump to "What more do you want from them?" or respond as though the person asking is being deliberately critical, ungrateful, or impossible to please.

It's an interesting dynamic because simply asking whether something was addressed doesn't inherently imply dissatisfaction with what has been addressed.

You can enjoy a podcast, appreciate its hosts, support what they're doing, and still have questions. Those things aren't mutually exclusive.

What I find particularly strange is how quickly people assign negative intentions to otherwise neutral questions. Curiosity becomes criticism, clarification becomes entitlement, and anything short of unconditional praise seems to be interpreted as an attack.

And ironically, the responses are often significantly more aggressive than the original question ever was.

I understand that people are protective of podcasts and personalities they enjoy, but there's a difference between being supportive and being unwilling to entertain even the slightest perceived criticism.

I'm fully expecting this post to be downvoted, which would honestly be a pretty fitting illustration of the dynamic I'm describing. But I do think it's worth asking why a discussion forum sometimes seems so resistant to actual discussion.

It drives me nuts that every poor decision that Claudia makes is because of pregnancy. Carpal tunnel because of pregnancy? Maybe it’s because you’re an influencer constantly scrolling TikTok? Weight gain? Maybe it’s because you give yourself permission to eat anything and everything while pregnant. Their princess demands while pregnant are so annoying.

Today’s episode was only 15 min long after PFFB AND DWTS LOL

Cannot believe they skipped over Connor in the DWTS recap. Was seriously looking forward to their take… he did so good.
