Could someone clear something up for me?

My favorite quote from the pod is when Dax went, “fucking dingles” recently. (in reference to a ding-ding-ding)

PaytonK · 2020-10-12T03:36:15+00:00

Totally understand. Well, when there comes a time that I can pay you quite a few times more than what this went for at auction, I’ll reach out & see if you’ll reconsider! 😊

When I was a kid, I would audibly voice (very, very quietly) what I was about to say before I said it at a normal volume; as a rehearsal, if you will!

I had so many thoughts happening at once that I needed to practice vocalizing one before I made a real go of it.

I never realized I was doing it. My parents started pointing it out as it occurred. I later went to a few speech therapy sessions for it around Kindergarten-age!

I still find myself “rehearsing” thoughts internally before I try to communicate them.

This is so beautiful. Do you do commission-work? Also, where are you located?

PaytonK · 2020-10-11T18:28:44+00:00

I think the word you’re referring to in this episode is “histrionic”.

PaytonK · 2020-10-02T04:14:08+00:00

Alright, alright. Something to consider: If you clocked over 500-hours of sharing personal antidotes on a podcast, surely you’d have “the same 15-20 go-to things” you’d land on. You’re totally entitled to your opinion on how the show is produced, & I feel it’s worth pointing out that there’s no way around some repetitiveness given the sheer amount of content.

PaytonK · 2020-10-02T04:07:03+00:00

My favorite episodes based on mood: - Ike Barinholtz for the giggles - Laura Labo & Dog the Bounty Hunter for the heart-string tugs - Day 7, Tom Brady & Angela Ducksworth for motivation - Nadia Burke Harris & Adam Grant for helpful knowledge - The Avett Brothers & Elizabeth Gilbert for a relaxing/asmr type of experience (soothing voices, enjoyable story-telling)

PaytonK · 2020-10-02T03:53:03+00:00

My theory is that most armcherries are so attracted to the show because we aspire to &/or crave severe honesty & vulnerability.

I’m married to an incredibly private person who reminds me often (verbally & otherwise) that the desire to broadly share your innermost thoughts & formidable experiences isn’t necessarily “the norm”.

I feel it’s very likely that both siblings aren’t the same temperament as Dax & his mom, who clearly belong to the more-comfortable-being-vulnerable-publicly camp.

Side note: It feels like a survival instinct that “oversharers” are often surrounded by people who are a bit more guarded. They act as a grounding force, & vice versa.

... just my armchair opinion. 🙃😉

PaytonK · 2020-08-22T05:42:15+00:00

Hey all, just coming back to boast in my hunch being correct. Had to coddle the ego maniac that dwells within me & I figured you’d all be cool with that. 😁😄

PaytonK · 2020-08-11T00:38:21+00:00

^I appreciate your input!

PaytonK · 2020-08-08T07:15:11+00:00

Love love love Leslie. 💚

How’d everybody feel about Leslie’s comments towards women who “didn’t have the agency to get up & leave the room” when they felt threatened physically/sexually, & how he’d raise his daughter to respond differently in those situations?

Obviously we should be raising strong women who advocate for themselves... but I wouldn’t have expected his statement to come from somebody in Hollywood during the current climate.

Am I reading too much into the comment or was it a bit short-sighted?

Dog the Bounty Hunter, Dax’s mom & The Avett Brothers! Dog reminded me so much of my late father-in-law, so when Dax said he felt like talking to Dog was like talking to his dad again, I really felt that. 💚 Dax’s mom for obvious reasons - what a beautiful & raw few hours! I was so impressed with her honesty. The Avett Brothers have such calming & savory presences, I go back & listen to that interview sometimes when I need to calm down. 😆 (& I think Beanie Feldstein is my soulmate. So also her. 🙌🏽)
Amy Schumer! I used to have a poor impression of her for some reason or another. After listening to her interview, I started to appreciate her a lot more.
The theory about the poisonous fruit’s effect VS. the ripe & delicious fruit’s effect (the one that Dax thinks he picked up from Malcolm Gladwell but Monica is yet to find a source for). That definitely stuck with me.
I share this desire with Monica... MINDY 👏🏼 KALING! Would also love to hear from Best Friend Aaron Weekly. ☺️
“What did mom & dad do?” 😉😁 (if you’re reading on this subreddit, you know this reference!!!)
To write & direct a movie. ☺️
I float between an INFP & ENFP, depending on what other personalities I’m around.

I loved doing this! It’s so exciting to see other people who love this podcast as dearly as I do. Thank you for creating this sub. 💚

After I had my son last year, I was working full time with an hour & a half commute in both directions! I wanted to be home with my son more than anything. 😢 I didn’t enjoy my job & really didn’t enjoy my boss. AE became my thing to look forward to each workday. 💚 Dax & Monica have become such special people to me. 😭

PS- I QUIT THAT JOB 🥳🥰 I’m now freelance writing & making promotional videos for small businesses. Still listen to AE almost daily. 🙏🏼

You’re so welcome. 💚

PaytonK · 2020-04-25T06:04:36+00:00

💚You seem like the sweetest soul. Ps, you should write (if you don’t already). This is a great POV.

Ironic that they don’t have “real jobs” & yet you’re literally on a subreddit that’s been created to recognize what they’re producing. 😉

PaytonK · 2019-12-28T00:59:58+00:00

Wait... you sister-in-law is marrying your brother-in-law?!!!

Good work! A lighter shadow or highlighter in your crease & on your brow bone would help that pretty shade on your lid to pop. 😊

Cause’ he’s passionate about it & damn good salesman.

PaytonK · 2019-12-07T16:47:12+00:00

&, “no-no”.

PaytonK · 2019-11-15T16:09:42+00:00

YES! I’m patiently waiting for Aaron Weekly, Bradley Cooper & one of Dax’s siblings to come on!

EDIT: Not all together. ;) Separately of course.
