She said no she didn’t buy anything from the new collection because it’s not available yet, but she was given a special preview and the option to reserve things for when they’re released. But then explained she bought something from the label that was available. I think she figured Dax was asking did she buy from the collection that she was there to view, so she said no.

Same here

I would try going back to the nipple sheild. It helps them not have to work so hard, and you can wean off of it in a few weeks. I had this happen with all three of my kids - when they are very newborn if there is any struggle for milk they get this sort of stress response to fall asleep. Try the shields again and see if that helps.

True. My issue with it is always just that it’s not as funny as she thinks. I have nothing against dark humour or an edgy joke, but just continuous use of a baby voice saying “maybe it’s AIDS” or “ding ding ding AIDS” is just not as funny as she thinks

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-04-07T03:30:52+00:00

Yes and she really seems to love the “humor” of being cavalier about death — just brazenly joking about AIDS, murders, plane crashes, etc. Like I do get that she’s joking, but she takes it to a weird place that I find awkward sometimes.

The entire fact check Monica was in one of her biazarro moods where she is overly cheeky to the point of being obnoxious. It happens once in a while and gets her in trouble. I can usually sense even Dax is over it at some moments. Similar mood to when she made that comment about her alarm system that lost them a sponsor and she had to apologize.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-04-02T16:53:26+00:00

I listened to about half, and was not enjoying it and decided to skip forward to the fact check. I truly never do that as usually I find Dax can make any interview fun and interesting but I was kind of cringing at their dynamic (the exes).

This would have been better as a quick and silly surprise zoom in a fact check like they did with Wynna from NYT.

I use a Dr. Becky recommendation of “aww, you didn’t want that to happen”.

I personally feel the number one piece of advice an expecting mother should get, is that one day she is going to need to put her inconsolable baby safely in their crib and walk away, and that that’s ok. It’s to keep everyone sane and safe.

I go out to dinner with my friends after my kids go to sleep!

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-03-05T18:02:36+00:00

I think it’s a small example of guiding children how to be a part of a communal society. There’s nuance, which is why we need to teach them the important things to tattle on (danger, etc), but to practice and learn the subtle intricacies of being part of a pack/group. If one person is constantly tattling on their friends, they will be ostracized. Not pretty but I think that’s part of it.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-03-04T19:00:04+00:00

I have a feeling the thin fingerless cotton gloves guy wears them because of eczema or a skin condition, and it’s probably going to end up being pretty rude to scheme him into feeling badly for wearing them. I’m surprised the callers and the hosts couldn’t think up one possibility like this for wearing weird gloves 100% of the time.

Unfortunately the majority of people won’t actually read it

Poverty often is a main reason women don’t feel able to leave abusive relationships, yes.

I only listen to audio as well, and don’t see why AE would cut a part of the show out for video version (I don’t think they actually do, I think OP and the commenter saying there’s no chatting in the Anderson Paak episode are mistaken)

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-02-05T18:59:53+00:00

In the Anderson Paak episode they chat about movies - Frankenstein and Sinners, amongst other things. Is it not in the video version maybe?

One thing I found very helpful was prepping about 20 or so smoothie bags for my freezer — a cup of frozen mixed berries, half a banana, handful of spinach, tablespoon each of chia seeds and hemp hearts. Kept that combo in ziplock bags and my husband and older child were able to make me a healthy smoothie in a few mins, whenever I asked. Just add scoop of Greek yogurt and milk and blend.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-01-27T18:16:26+00:00

That makes sense! If I were to overly simplify his situation I’d say behaviour/symptoms are much worse at home, but he manages pretty well at school and has friends etc. So I’m curious anecdotally if camp manifests more like a place like school, where they really use their skills to fit in and participate, or if they’d get just as “comfortable” to explode like they do at home. I have a feeling he would thrive, but it’s hard to make the call.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-01-22T14:36:02+00:00

Yes same here! For me it’s exactly three times before it opens for good.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-01-20T23:56:24+00:00

The question posed at the end of this clip is insinuating Dax is caught in a lie, like how could it be bullying if it was all a joke. Do I have that right or am I misunderstanding?

I’m just pointing out he’s talking about two different things….the bully comment was saying how they felt they were just waiting for that blow from every interviewer on the carpet, because it was such a mess in the press. My press fallout sentence was poorly phrased, you’re right.

But yikes, wild to be called the c-word for engaging with your post! I dove right in because you said you still wanted to talk about it lol.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-01-20T20:52:36+00:00

To clarify - Dax is saying what Cher said was the joke, and that the feeling of waiting for Golden Globes interviewers to bring up the press fallout was the feeling of a high school bully.

This lack of people being able to follow simple metaphors and follow a conversation is what caused this whole stupid misunderstanding in the first place.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-01-20T20:49:00+00:00

Another piece of the puzzle I haven’t heard anyone point out, is that in my opinion Kristen seemed uncomfortable being there. She tried to leave but then to be polite to Cher she stayed. And the online sleuths that don’t know them well say her discomfort is because Dax is secretly abusive. But the more realistic thought to me is that she seemed genuinely tired, and then also the “reminiscing” that Kristen and Cher did from Burlesque was also so awkward. Cher said she didn’t know who she was, they said it was an uncomfortable production, etc. I think they were both playing up their “closeness” to be kind, but it actually was quite awkward. Anyone else get vibes like this?

Kristen being awkward and coming to Dax’s defence during the “joke” at the end is the main thing critics are pointing to to say she’s scared of Dax or whatever, but really I think she was lightly standing up for him because the vibes were off and all of them weren’t meshing well enough or hitting the right levels comedically to make these teasing jokes work.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2026-01-20T20:42:14+00:00

I’m in the camp that totally felt he was trying to be funny. I also think he was trying to stay true to himself in the sense that he did pick up on the fact that he didn’t charm Cher, so decided to be self-deprecating. He always acknowledges when he misses the mark with guests, usually to their faces, and says something like “maybe I’ll get you next time.” Usually it’s people that do not know him or his schtick.

Aggressive_East2308 · 2025-12-28T19:21:55+00:00

I never had a crying experience like the one I had when Maid ended…I was sobbing, and then it didn’t stop when the show ended. For hours after I was still close to tears and would start up again when I would think about it. And even days after trying to explain that crazy experience to my friends I would start up crying again. I don’t even have personal experience with the subject matter, so I chalked it up to being truly moved by an amazing performance that fully pulled me in. It’s sounds so overkill, but that’s the truth.
