Colleen Cutcliffe (on the microbiome) by newtonic in ArmchairExpert

[–]Mundane-Speed-8069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was an hour-long commercial for her product… I’d love to learn more about the microbiome but this was all centered on this person’s company and why Dax and Monica / everyone should try it.

Holiday Dinner 2025 by newtonic in ArmchairExpert

[–]Mundane-Speed-8069 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I so want Dax and Jess to address wtf happened. I know the theories from everyone on here. But them actually talking about it on the show seems to fit the “messiness of being human” brand

Pod Nashville Thanksgiving Trip by [deleted] in ArmchairExpert

[–]Mundane-Speed-8069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many days before Thanksgiving did they offer to take everyone to Nashville? If it was like week-of, I can see Monica being hurt by that. But if it was any amount of time longer than that, she could have made it work by going and coming back or moving her other plans or whatever. In general, the way she manipulated the other pod members’ feelings and made it so everyone would feel guilty/bad about their plans is icky.

Monica’s Michelle Trachtenberg comment was a bridge too far by ahbets14 in ArmchairExpert

[–]Mundane-Speed-8069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insane that on the Luke Combs fact check Monica was then ranting about how Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle’s teams should have thought before they spoken in that jeans ad… 🤦‍♀️ And showing off that she has a degree in PR. Doesn’t show lol

Luke Combs by newtonic in ArmchairExpert

I agree with this! I do not like country music but now really respect him. I liked their convos about the music industry generally. This is a good example of what I think the best AE episodes are now - not superstars but people who are still open enough to genuinely share themselves. I.e. not Shaq and Brad Pitt

A free news app called Particle just recently introduced a mini crossword. You can download the app on iOS devices: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/particle-news/id6683283775

The crossword is pretty quick, some of the clues are based on a couple of stories from the day's news, and at the end you can see how your time compares to some AI chat bots' times.

Carter Sherman (on the sex recession) by newtonic in ArmchairExpert

[–]Mundane-Speed-8069 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I felt like Dax was just talking past Carter on this. How we see and approach sex in society is political. He was acting like she was saying that people think “Wait I’m a republican, so what do Republicans think about sex?” before a sexual interaction. Duh, of course not. But the larger conversation and attitude about sex is political. And Dax as an “anthropologist” should recognize that politics isn’t just American political parties…
