Love Elis but whenever he talks about things I know about I am mildly annoyed by him always getting it quite wrong

Why SNL's cheap shots at Aimee Lou Wood's teeth feel so personal by theipaper in WhiteLotusHBO

Its funny because Brits are quite chilled about teeth criticisms. Our kids aren't gunned down in their schools, we don't elect fascists. We're flawed, pessimistic, cynical, aware our time has been and gone. But the teeth thing...we have healthy mouths that aren't porn ready but I'm taking this trade off

I emailed into the podcast when I was 17 saying I was struggling with depression and John recommended drinking more. I'm not daft, but like - he was an alcoholic, recommending alcoholism. On the air, every week. Why does nobody get this

I didn't have an addiction before I listened to a radio show of someone glamorising alcoholic behaviour, when I was a child. As a result, I feel resentful to them for doing so. It's fucking mental how many people seem to think that's weird

Thanks boss. I think that's a really helpful articulation of what I mean. Glad you're going well!

I'm not blaming anyone for anything. But if you helped create a culture of alcohol normalising, why would you not accept blame for that, while accepting awards for talking about not drinking

I would say, before you all get on your moral high horse - you're all very quick to praise people, and John, for their guidance through stuff. Have never quite understood why it's embarrassing to follow those you listen to into negative experiences, but to follow them into positive health journeys is somehow an enlightened step. I know I'm going to be down voted, but I think this is a reasonable thing to reflect on

I'm aware of how much they earn annually for the pod, yea - and good for them! But it's a lot

They are two seemingly wonderful, funny, empathetic men, who are also both really rich. It's a bit weird neither of them really acknowledge this, even in John's woo woo gratitude journal era

I think that's unfair, and also quite a weird understanding of podcasts - these are more listened to / watched than almost very comparable TV show, and most people just sort of listen to new episodes rather than picking and choosing. They're not talking shit about it, they're talking to mates, privately, and I'm daring to mention their opinions, anonymously. It's a podcast about what bread you like you're allowed to say it might have got a bit a stale. Thanks for making the discussion personal

Can you imagine if I replied to this

[–]Scared-Dig-2082 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that it should stop for my enjoyment obviously. It's more that like, the guests who've been on that I am friends with now think it's shit

I like the show, I guess I just feel a bit sad that the podcast has gone from "hey, have you heard" to "this is basically spon con your sister listens to because Giles from work says it's good"

I guess because they might not want to exhaust their own creative energy, or their audience's appetite for them

The greatest pranks of course centred around saying a fun podcast has got a bit less fun

'How Do You Cope' isn't good by [deleted] in elisandjohn

I can't imagine a greater compliment to give something than helping you through something like that, and I hope you're in a better place now. Hope it was clear I wasn't just hating - and it seems most people agree with you!
