Uh? Did you guys? Are you guys watching anything on TV?
Have you seen Griselda? What's that Griselda on Netflix? Blanco? You know
Griselda blanco Is. It's with Sophia Vergara, right, she plays her.
It's the true story of the Godmother Nark go out of Miami in the seventies.
Oh, and the series starts out with a quote and it said something
like, I'm the only man. I'm the only man I've ever been afraid
of is a woman named Griselda. And you know who said that, Pablo
Escobar. Really, yeah, because she's ruthless and toothless man. It's so
it was so it was like, and it's done by the same people that
did Narcos. Wow. Yeah, and I just I couldn't stop watching it.
So how many episodes? I think there's like five episodes or six?
Okay, yeah, it's good. And so Sophia Vagaro plays her. She's
not the most in real life, she's not the most attractive woman. And
oh she's beautiful. Oh woman, No, okay, okay, the real
woman is not attractive. She's alive, the real woman is she still?
No? No, okay, she passed away. Okay, but you gotta
watch it. But yeah, she was like the first she was like the
female huge. I mean, she took over Miami and the way she did
it was like insane. She came from meddie Ian, Colombia, and her
husband at the time was abusive and he was a narco drug dealer, so
she got a little like you know, she took her like a you know,
a class on it. Basically like learned how to be a drug dealer.
And then she took her kids, her three boys, moved from Colombia
to Miami and stayed with a friend, a girlfriend of hers, and then
just basically like she brought a brick of cocaine with her from Colombia and like
just basically you know, started from scratch. I mean, unbelievable. How
this woman just a business woman, a total business woman. You can't believe
the ship she did, Like the way she started up her business was crazy.
Like if you think about it, like the drug business is basically a
illegal MLM. Yeah it is. You get people under you. Those people
are distributing like you don't make money if they don't make money, right,
yes, and murder people, you know, like Lulu Lemon, right,
lularu lu lu lu lulaau. How they need to separate that from Lulu Lemon.
I know, I know, it's it's a lyrics. People people that
buy Luluau are like thinking they're getting Lulu Lemon and then they're like, oh,
my leggings have like devils on it. Right, I haven't seen that
in the I know, leggings are so like just so gaudy and so loud,
I know, and just so unattractive I know. And then the part
where they were falling apart was pretty funny. I love that documentary. That
was one of the best. Yeah, it was really good. Yeah,
I always love a documentary when they're bagging on the person but they are talking
to the camera, you know, like right, you know, they're not
bagging, but they're like you know, it's like, you know, they're
basically telling the story what shysters these people are, but they're sitting right in
front of the camera being interviewed. You know. The thing about MLMs and
I know we're just digressing for a minute, is I I love the idea
of some of them, Like I remember I really wanted to sell Stella and
Dot because I was like, I love their jewelry so but the but the
companies themselves, it is kind of like this glorified pyramid scheme. But you
remember I was saying, like I think being part of a pyramid screen would
be would be great, Like, yeah, I want to have I want
to do I want to be the like I don't I don't quite see the
problem. And this is where maybe I'm a bit of a sociopath, but
I feel like, okay, at the beginning, when you're like you get
you get ten people and they all pay you like a thousand dollars, and
then they get people to pay them put in a thousand dollars, right,
Like, I don't know, no one's going to get hurt for a while.
Yeah, first you're going to make a bunch of money. It seems
really fun just to have a party. Like the way I see it is
like you get a couple of bottles of like Trader Joe's wine for the people
that drink. I get, you know, some coffee and bagels. You
invite people over and they bring cash. Yeah, and then the problem I
don't understand what the problem is. It seems like it takes so long for
the trickle down for somebody to not get their money back. But I feel
like they're still going to get part of their money back. And then I
go, well, it's up to you to be a go getter and find
more friends, right, But I remember doing the like and people still do
this, but the book, you know, sometimes they do this around the
holidays, the like you go, hey, who wants to be part of
like a gift exchange. You buy somebody a gift that's like ten dollars or
less, and then you put your name, goes to the top of the
list, right and then and then the person at the bottom of the list
gets the person at the top of the list to give and people get so
mad. So when you first start doing it, you're going to get a
bunch of gifts, and it only starts dwindling down when you kind of when
somebody doesn't have a lot of contacts and they can't get people to do it.
This is a real thing, yes, but you're only out like ten
dollars. So the whole thing is you join this thing and it's like a
it's like a chain, huh, and you you're responsible to buy one person
a gift for ten dollars, okay, And then the way it's supposed to
work is because you get then you get put at the top of the list,
and it goes out. However many people join up, you could get
like thirty five people giving you a gift, but eventually somebody's not going to
get a gift. But okay, it sounds like you got like thirty gifts
that are ten dollars worth ten dollars each. That just sounds like a bunch
of junk. Correct. Correct. And I've done it before and been like,
Okay, now I have a bunch of like but if you have like
a little regifting closet, those are good for like stuff like that, right.
But the ones that are fun that people get is our books. So
what you get somebody a book, You send them me your favorite book,
and then a bunch of people are going to send you books. But again,
I don't really read that much, so I don't want a bunch of
random books that I'm going to have to then put in a big box and
take to the library to donate, you know. So, but it's amazing
how offended people get. They're just like, this is a pyramid scheme.
It's like, okay, but who's really Are you really getting hurt that bad?
People are just offended. So my point is I don't some MLMs.
Yes you, I get it, and I I love watching the documentaries about
it, and I see how it can really hurt people. And but that's
if you get super into it and start spending all your money going to conventions
and buying all this product. I can see how brainwashing it is when you
but I'm not an easily brainwashed person, as you know from my stories about
almost getting involved in cults. But then I'm like, I'm too lazy.
I'm too lazy. I'm not going to all your empowerment stuff, like,
I'm just not that interested. I'd rather be home listening to a podcast,
So I'm not My thing would be, I'd probably just burn out real quick,
like you kind of did with Rodan and Field. Yeah, and I
loved I still use their products. So that's the thing. It's like,
if you like I like their products, yeah, well that's the thing.
That's how they get you, because I'm like, well, I really like
Stella and Dot. Like I went to some stell and Dot party that somebody
had. Oh I saw a friend wearing this stellan Dot necklace and I was
like, oh my god, that is so cute. How did you get
it? And she said, oh, my friend sells Stella and Dot and
I was like, I want to buy one, and she was like,
oh, let me give you my friend's number. So I got this woman
and then she she I got the necklace. And then I had this friend
who'd been out of work for a really long time, and I was like,
you should sell Stella and Dot. I was going to do it,
but the problem was is they said that I had to buy a bunch of
the products and have parties. And I was like, well, I'm not
gonna have parties. I was like, but can I This was before I
really even understood what MLMs were, right and that they're kind of toxic.
I was just like, oh, this is interesting. You just you So
I said, well, can I just post the products like on my Facebook
wall? Right? This was many years ago, and they at the time,
they were like, no, can't you just have to buy? No,
because how they make their money is you buy like two hundred and fifty
dollars worth of worth a shit Stella and Dot and then you have to you
resell it, right, but then you have to then you have to keep
doing it every month, and people lose a ton of money. And I
get why that's bad, and I was not wanting to do that in the
first place, but if but I was like, I thought it was a
good idea for my friend who hadn't been working in a long time. And
I was like, and then I had a stellin Dot party. This is
when I was doing Perenal Discretion, I didn't realize it was bad. So
I had all of my people that I had all my writers come, like
all the writers, all people that worked on the show, and they all
came because they were probably scared because I was like the boss. It was
a terrible thing. Like in retrospect, they all came and bought my friends
Stell and Dot stuff. Oh you know what I'm saying. Like looking back,
I'm like, oh, they all felt pressured to buy stuff because it
was almost like getting sexually harassed. They all got kind of me too,
but em me too, like me mlmed because they because I because they what
were they going to do? Go, No, I'm not going to come
to your party, like I'm the host of the show. So now in
retrospect, I feel really bad. They all bought something. Yeah, but
I'm guess I'm guessing they got a nice little like you know, charm necklace
out of it. Yeah. I mean their stuff was really cute stuff.
Yeah, I remember seeing their stuff. Their stuff was so if you like
something, I can totally see why you'd be Like, let's say you love
Lularo leggings, Right, They're like those are so cute and they are just
so soft. I want to sell them. But then like all your fucking
neighbors are doing it too, and then that's when they start messing with your
head and they're like you gotta buy more, and you have to make a
new and you have to get the ones that are different. And then people
get really obsessed with right, and they lose all their money, and then
they lose their money and then but like where are they now? Like they
have to burned out? Right? Well, I listen to a lot of
podcasts about the MLMs, and a lot of them just move on to other
MLMs, like they get really disillusioned with whatever. Let's say it's Lularo,
and then all that anymore? Right, Oh you mean people that are doing
it, Like yeah, they move out about companies like what you know,
like a stellon Dots Is that still going? I think it's still going.
Well yeah, yeah, like I guess Rodana Fields is still going. Yeah,
I just don't I remember there was a time where on Facebook there was
a constant like you know, my you know, my my aunt is doing
this new company, you know, blah blah blah, Like you know,
anybody want to join up. Like you don't see that as much anymore.
I feel like they burnt out. But sadly, I always felt like I'd
be good at sales. You would be good at sales, I know,
And that didn't seem that negative to me because I'm like, I think if
I was in sales, you know, I would just be going out networking
all But like I say that first, if I was actually doing it,
I'm sure it would be a I would be like a god night would come
and you'd be like, wait, I gotta go where Yeah exactly, watch
bactly. But the idea of it's like my eye are bigger than my stride.
I think a lot of jobs sound fun, right, like I think,
see being a lawyer sounds really fun. But I'm sure if I does
sound fun, first I'd have to, you know, go to college.
Then i'd have to go to law school. Then i'd have to be like
work for lawyers, Like I'd have to bring them their coffee and I'd be
like, I'm sixty, I'm not bringing you ship, you know, and
then they you know, what I thought would be fun is if you know,
we we joke around about starting a cult, like we should start a
cult. It sounds like so much work. Oh my god. What about
if we did like a reverse cult where people came to us and told us
what to do? That is genius, Like yeah, like you can't like
I don't my wardrobe, yes, we don't pay for it, and I
need to update my wardrobe. So let's have you guys tell me what what's
cool out there? Get me like, you know, you guys come to
me with new wardrobe, like a reverse right right right, you come to
my house and try to brainwash me into tell me where I'm getting a better
wardrobe? Yes, tell me how to like wear the you know how to
cook? Like, tell me how a healthy way of cooking? Yeah,
tell me? You know you people tell us what to do to reverse cult.
Well, instead of us being in charge of it, in charge of
your mental health. Yeah, they're always preachy telling you like you know who
to marry or you know what, you know what to do, like constantly
like we need somebody telling us what to do. Yeah yeah, well I
kind of do feel like our podcast is a what not to do podcast.
It's like, do not come to us like we're just making mistakes and sharing
them with you. We're not. We have no advice, none, except
for starting how to start a reverse cult. I feel like Kaylin, like,
now Kaylan has little kids, and I mean, I'm sure that you
don't ever think about anything Lynette and I have ever said and go like,
I'm so glad I worked on a parenting pipe. Well that's very funny because
people were laughing, like, oh, what do you do for a living?
I go, I produce podcasts? They go, what about? I
go, well, it's a parenting podcast. But it's like, you know,
not like serious, Like it's like it's kind of like what not to
do. It's like a relax It's like a relaxed yeah podcast, It's like
very relaxed. It's like, if you don't like breastfeeding, don't do it.
We exactly right. We got no tips, right, no, no,
yeah, see you've never taken any of our tips. There's there's grains
in there every once in a while. Yeah, you drop a good one
every once in a while. Like you know, if you go on a
long road trip, just go to the dollar store and buy like a bunch
of little ones and then you can just hand them out like handy throughout the
trip. So there's little tips in there every now I go, okay,
well that makes me feel better. Yeah. We're like, here's a tip
when your kids ask for just never say no. It's so much easier.
Bend to your child's will, like they know, they probably know best.
Yeah, exactly. Put them in front of a TV if they want ice
cream for breakfast, like, let them follow what they want, Like that's
it's their body. Like you got to respect them, right, respect their
wishes. Yeah, I'll never forget talking about that. When Sadie was,
I was like, this was back in blogging days and I Sadie was,
you know, she didn't eat and this she was on a feeding tube.
And I remember right before she was on a feeding tube. I mean she
was a little baby. Well, no, she was probably on the feeding
tube. An my stories today are like I think it was this, No,
it was this? No was this? And everyone's like who cares?
The bottom line is that I was trying to get Sadie to eat and she
was saying no to everything, and I would just be like anything, Like
I was always trying to get her to eat high caloric content foods. I
had a nutritionist, right. They would go shopping with me to Trader Joe's
and we would look at labels. Patricia Novak, that's her name. She
doesn't do this anymore, but she was like a mom. She was so
she was my favorite of all the therapists I had. She literally we went
to Trader Joe's together and she was like, Okay, here's what we look
for. We want this amount of calorie. You want the biggest amount of
calories for your per bite. Because Sadie would eat like a bite of food
and then be done. So I remember telling a story about just letting her
have ice cream for breakfast because she wanted it was the only thing that she
would eat. She wanted to eat the only thing that sounded good to her.
And I was like, well better than nothing. Sure, I mean
a scoop ice cream. It's got calcium, it's got like some fat,
you know. So yeah, I gave her a big bowl ice cream and
let her eat it. And she didn't. I'm sure she didn't even finish
that. Who didn't finish? I was just listening to your book about it
sneading, and yeah, I'm like, you know, need to sneak sure
for breakfast. I remember how much backlash I got though from people that were
like, that's terrible. What are you teaching or you're gonna teach her?
You know? And I was like, how fuck? I know, like
I'm sharing with you. Yes, I know, I'm not suggesting that everybody
give their kids ice cream for breakfast. I'm telling you that I'm struggling right
right, I know. And even if I did, like, people just
don't. Like. I think a lot of times people just see what they
want to see and they're not really paying attention to what you're actually saying,
Like, they're not really they just see ice cream for breakfast and then they
you know, and they're mad. Yeah, they get mad. Thank god
it was but pre Reddit days, I think, yeah, people could like
make Reddit posts about it, right, could you imagine fucking losing? People
just want to be mad? Yeah, let's take a let's take a break.
What were we talking about? People and Reddit? And hey, oh
that people want to be upset? I just people want to get yeah,
pissed off. Yeah. My friend Bonnie Bonnie McFarlane who has a podcast called
My Wife Hates Me with her husband. That's really funny. She was on
another podcast. She was just telling me this story this morning. She's on
another podcast and she said she made the comment and she's a comedian, like
she was being funny, but also just she said, I don't think being
a mom is as hard as like some people make it out to be.
That was her comment. But then she was trying to be funny by saying,
like at the beginning, it's basically like having a potato and you know,
she was just talking about and people went crazy. Why crazy? Uh,
Like because the person whose podcast it was and I can't remember who put
it out as a clip, just that part, and because people just want
to be so mad. It's like, why are you so mad that she
read that it's not as hard as people make like, Okay, if it
was hard for there's so many podcasts and myself included to tell you that parenting
is hard and you can feel like you relate. But one person comes along
and goes, that wasn't really that hard for me, and you're gonna be
that mad? Yeah, I don't get a comment after comment, somebody told
her basically that she should like kill herself. Oh my god, what is
wrong? I don't know why do people get so mad? I don't,
I don't, I don't. I have no idea, but I think that
people want to, like with social media and like people think that they everybody
wants to hear their opinion. You know, they feel like they can comment.
Now you can comment about anything now, you know, so like you
know, before you can never talk to these people like I'm radio or TV.
But now they you know, you piss them off. They think,
oh, they're going to read it, so I'm gonna give them a piece
of my mind, right, you know. And it's like not really like
you're like, there's just there's just some people like that I think they know
like with you know, like with my divorce, Like people just think they
know everything. All the comments that Adam is made throughout the year must be
true in real life. You know. It's like like really, you know,
and they just that's got to be so hard, Like what do you
do about that? Because I have read some of the comments about you that
are because I won't read comments about myself because that was my feeling is I'll
read them about you. But I'm like these people are insane, Like the
thoughts that they have from like ah, there's a nanny right, like you
know nothing about it and it's so far in the feud, like your kids
are turning eighteen years old, right, like and everybody's fine, yes,
but like you're stuck in this old but like, how do you even do
just not read? You read some of that? Oh yeah, I mean
so crazy and just from reality. I read it and some of it,
yeah, like some there's some of it, like you know, that are
just just redundant, like oh my gosh, she does to go see Bruce
Ringstein and blah blah blah. It's like, wow, that's all I know.
That's just every weekend, Bruce. Yeah, yeah, you nailed it.
That's it. Yeah, that's all I do is just spend money,
and the nanny raises the kids, and it's like they just they because and
you have twelve broken back right right right? All these people have ever But
but the thing is I don't feel I don't know because I haven't listened to
Adam's podcast, But would he say like the nanny's raising the kids or Lynette's
never with the kids? No, he because you're always with your kids,
right, But because like he would say, he would talk about Olga or
whatever, or he'd say like yeah, he would complain that like he's on
the road working and I took the kids to Disneyland. It's like, well,
shoot me, like I'm alone with the kids for the weekend, like
I'm going to do something with them, or I took them when he's home.
It's not like he would be like, let's take the kids to Disneyland
to be there for that, right, No, exactly, yes, right
right? So like who's going to take the kids to Disneyland? Like so
anybody that's taking their kids to Disneyland is like, oh great, your husband
works and you took your kids to Disneyland, right, And so he would
say, like, you know, he would make jokes like you know,
when I come home, I see you running in place and stuff like that,
or you know, I mean he would like make jokes or exaggerate or
whatever like because like he said, radio it's radio talk or whatever, like
radio talk it's radio talk. Right, So but people literally take it like
his word like you know, well he said it, He's been saying it.
That's what he says, you know, Like it's just it's insane that
people just really truly believe, like they just make up the scenario in their
head that they think they know and it's like, no, you don't fucking
know, like you weren't fucking there, you know, like you were you
guys don't have any clue, right, you know. I think that like
has Adam ever said, oh, Linette has a burken bag? Because I
don't know where they all get this idea that you're buying like fancy that you're
like out that you're like a real housewife of Beverly Hills. I think that
some people took it seriously. I think that somebody heard some for crying out
loud about us joking about burken bags, and it's like, nope, I
heard it. She said it, and it's like that's what I'm saying.
Adam says something and it's like, well he said it, you know what
I mean. People don't understand context, They don't understand. They just they
want to believe a scenario in their head, you know, lazy wife that
you know whatever, or just doesn't doesn't cook, doesn't clean or whatever.
It's like that's what they want to That's what they want to believe. Is
somebody that they're listening to that that this character that he's created, you know,
he's created a caricature, you know what I mean, Right, And
it's like they like it's ridiculous to say like I'd never worked or I am
Like all I did was just spend money and like that. You know,
Uh, the only time I would spend money is once in a while if
I traveled, like I would want to, you know, go somewhere with
the kids or whatever. That's it because the kid we never took family vacations.
I mean we we took like two years in a row we went to
Hawaii because other people went, not just us, but as far as us
four going on a family vacation, we never did, you know, and
it was always Adam was working whatever. But like I would do that with
my family, go meet them. I'd take the kids. You know.
It's like the fact that all I do is spend money. But who it's
so weird that you would have to defend that. Like nobody else that's such
a podcast thing, right, right, Like nobody would be like I can't
believe how much but Melinda Gates, Why how come she's not working? Right?
Oh, all she does is give money to like charities and like travel,
right, nobody, it's only if the guy had a podcast, right
right. It's just it's such a weird concept that you would care that much
about what somebody else's what somebody's wife is doing. I I know, I
don't. I guess it's because they think they know him and they know us
or whatever, and it's like they don't. They don't, they don't.
They they don't even have any idea what really goes on. Like it's just
but I don't care, like it doesn't. I mean, yeah, of
course there's like some you know, comments or whatever. I really don't read
him that much, but but there are like just there's like this, there's
this, there's like just some people and that's you could see it's the same
person over and over and over, that's beating the same drum for years.
You know. It's like, dude, get a fucking life. By the
way, this is all you do. Like it's just dissect you know,
like people's lives and think, you know, you know what I mean.
It's like it's pathetic, like do you, like, my god, don't
you have anything else to do? Is don't get it. I find it
a bit amusing actually, I mean, don't get me wrong, it does
suck when people are going after you and attacking you and whatnot. But being
on multiple shows and seeing multiple comments over the years. I always find it
super funny when you see that, like really hardcore fan that is so sure
that this is what's happening behind the scenes and these people and he's telling all
the other fans know this is how it happened. And I just read it
knowing what's happening, knowing what happened, and it's just so wrong and so
off face. I just laugh at it. Right, You're such an idiot,
You're just wasting your time. Was You're so sure that this is what's
happening, and it couldn't be farther from the truth. Right now, it's
kind of amusing if you look at it that way, like, yes,
you just couldn't be more wrong. But yeah, whatever, I do get
amused. I do get it. It's like, take Giovanni, Okay,
when we were talking about him, I think, off the air, Giovanni
has been listening Adam. You know, he's since he was a kid.
You know, he didn't have I don't know, I think he didn't have
much parents growing up whatever, So you know, Adam became like a father
figure to him, listening to him all the time religiously, and then he
would listen to the morning show that Adam, the morning radio show that Adam
did, and he I remember one time, like Adam and Bill Simmons because
I love Bill Simmons. I thought he was funny. Bill would come on
Adam's morning show and all they did was break down fucking karate kid, you
know. And I so I called in because I would listen to the morning
show when the kids were little, making him breakfast and stuff. So I
called in. I was like, enough with the fucking karate kid talk like
I want to hear Bill Simmons talk, like can we like enough you guys
with the fucking karate kid and fucking Geovanni lost his ship. He like posted
on who the fuck does she think she is calling a fuck? We are
hardcore fans and we love the karate kid talking blah blah. Fuck her and
her fucking entitled life and love blah. God he went off Giovanney Ivanni,
I know, and then dude, I know. But then fast forward like
a year later, we did a charity event, Shakespear charity event for Shakespeare
Festival at LA and he flew out for the event because he wanted to meet
Adam. And I went and introduced myself and I was like, hey,
I know, I know that, I'm I know you're my biggest fan.
So I had to come over and say hi, you know. And after
that we've been like very close, Like I love the kid. He sends
emails to me once in a while, like telling us how great that she's
probably gonna get an email after this show, like how great the show was,
Like he loves me. I love him like I adore him, and
it's like, okay, you see like once you get to meet you know
what I mean. But in his brain it was like this fucking bitch ruined
the bit. I love that bit. It's like, you know, you
think people think they know who they and I was used to be like that.
I used to listen to Kevin and Bean in the morning and I used
to hear like their wives call it and be like, oh god. But
then I met then I met Adam, and then I met Kevin and Bean
and I met their wives, and I was like, you could not be
furthest from my what I thought you were. You know what I mean,
right right? So you know, I just people think that they they Yeah,
I don't know why I get all the shit. I guess it's because
Adam is portrayed me as you know, this caricature like narrative, you know,
and people took it literally, you know, like out of context literal
like you know, and uh, but it's just like interesting to me that
some of the things they say on Reddit. I don't read it that often,
but every once in a while when I do, it's like if you
even look at what they're saying, like maybe they're reporting that like you took
the kids to go see colleges or whatever that you're like, uh, traveling,
Oh, she took her kids here. But it's like, how is
that neg Like how is that not parenting? Are you taking the kids on
a college visit? Which is what every fucking normal period does when their kids
are looking at college, and Adam's not taking the kids to look at college?
But how does Adam? How's he the winner? How are you the
anti hero? Right? Because I don't get I know. I Reddit is
especially rough too, Like I love Reddit, I go on Reddit all the
time, but when it comes to all the shows that I work on,
like I won't I won't go to any threads on any shows that I work
on. It's just it's especially rough. On Reddit, and there was even
like a thread I made some like minor mistake when I first started working for
Adam years ago, and I remember the next day it was like, why
isn't this kid fired already? Like you know what I'm it's best to just
stay off redit when it comes to yeah fan comment. So I don't even
bother with that anymore, but I still used read it all the time.
Yeah. No, I won't read anything that has to do with f cool
because mostly it's it's being yeah, it's about my child. So if I
see F cool, I just hide, like I don't. I don't look
at any of that. But it's it's only because every once in a while
I want to see if somebody figured out something, right, which is the
reason we were talking about Giovanni, right, Yeah, he figured out something
that we were talking about in Patreon last week. Yeah, so just so
he knows, he's probably listening. We were all talking about how much we
adored Giovanni before the shift started, how much we love oh yeah, it
was no, he's always complimentary, you know. I was just saying how
funny it was that he immediately he wrote a Patreon comment that I screenshot and
said to Lynette because she doesn't go on our Patreon page. And I was
like, oh gosh. He was like he there's a list of who I
think she's talking about, and this one in particular is who I'm pretty sure
it is. And I was like, how did he do that? That's
crazy and made some pretty funny jokes about like one of them I forgot being
John Taylor from Duran Duran like he really yeah. He was just like,
Okay, I'm just being a dick, and then but he yeah, yeah.
It is interesting crazy how people dissect somebody on Reddit. Once let's take
a quick break. I will tell you somebody on Reddit was like spent a
long time, this was a while ago dissecting how much money I make and
how much what jot like, And I was like, that is very interesting
that somebody would care enough about, like in a negative way, be that
like what to try to figure out every what how I make money? Like
who cares? I know you care? Well, like who has the time
to do all this? I have no idea, Like who has the time
to just be investigating or you know, thinking, you know, all these
comments, all these looking into people's lives, thinking that like how do you
have the time to do all that? Right, you don't. I don't
get it, especially if it's negative, if it's hateful, because I could
not survive if I was so full of resentment about people that I listened to,
Right, I don't really hate listen to anything. No, I if
I'm going to follow somebody like like I like them, right, and then
I want what's I want to support them or want things to go well for
them, like I would never be actively just like, god, I hate
this person and I never miss an episode. Yeah, I know, God,
I don't get it. I just don't. And then that sounds like
that that scene in Private Parts where they're they're talking about Howard Stern and they're
like, well, how long does the person who likes Howard Stern? Oh
they listen for an average of like an hour and a half. Well how
long does the person who hate Howard Stern? Oh? Well they listened for
three and a half hours, right, right? Yeah, that's so interesting.
Yeah, it's just bizarre. And also like how fast Like when our
divorce was like it was just all of a sudden, it was like it's
like sign the papers and then and then there was like online like how fast
it hit, you know, so are people try like are people looking for
court documents or I think are they? Or is it just because somebody reports
it in the news, somebody whose job it is to look at court documents?
Like, how do they can't find out that? I think that there's
from what I was told that there's people that like that work at the courthouse
that that put it out there as soon as they find out it's out.
But then, like, I'm sure there is, I mean with every yeah,
I mean there has to be people just wanting making all this information public.
Yeah, yeah, there has to be a bunch of people working on
that. Yeah. I'm just not sure why people care. I know,
I don't if they don't care about the divorce, I'm sure that's interesting to
them or whatever, how much money you're getting whatever, but like to be
so invested in it that you've determined like what Adam's should exact, what you
should do, and like how is this fair? And then and then they
get shit wrong all the time, you know, like, ash, you's
getting this much and that it's like no, you know, it's like and
by the way, why can't people really like understand I don't know I don't
want to get too much into it, but they just they don't I think,
well, not so much the sleuthing or looking into the info, but
they're kind of being angry and the rage listening and the rage comments. You
know, I know how much you two love your boyfriend al but I'm afraid
that in today's world, it's the algorithms that are just feeding. You know,
as soon as they hate post a comment, the algorithm goes, oh,
they are engaging with this call, I'm going to give them more of
this, So they just get fed more and more things that make them angry
and want to argue. So it's just feeding back into them doing that and
it's just like a cycle, right yeah. But like people will get like
on Reddit, I've seen like they get they get ship wrong all the time.
And the worst part I I did, but yes, well I'm like
for me, like for what what you know? With me and Adam they
get they get shipped wrong all the time. But then what I love is
the other idiots that go, oh really, I didn't know that she had
a collection. I didn't know that. Oh wow, that's even me,
Yeah, like you what what? And then it gets going like oh,
then it just becomes a thing. It's like, you know, and then
the soul cliche of the Springsteen and then like yeah, do you guys have
anything else? Funny kids? Like does anybody go to concerts? Like it's
just such a weird thing to latch onto that. Oh my Godlinette went to
another concerts, Like many regular people and not that you're not a regular person,
but many everyday people that don't have podcasts go to a lot of concerts.
Not that you go to a lot of concerts, but you have one
particular artist that think to me, it's just like I don't even understand how
that's like a know, oh my god, she went to another Bruce Springsteen
concert. It's like, okay, so you I guess you never know,
you never leave your house, you never like, to me, that's not
that much different than if it was like she went to Magic Mountain again.
It's like, oh, I know, okay, I know, yeah,
she likes roller coasters. God crucify her, I know. And that's the
thing, Like it goes back to like Adam, you know, like one
time he said something and it's like they will never for you know. It's
like she took them kids to Catalina Island while I was working, you know,
and then that was like that was it, you know, like all
she does is go to Catalina Island or you know. I mean, it's
just it's so like, do you guys not have a brain? Do you
not like really like think about like but or they don't care a shit.
They're just they're just you know, they like the sound of their own you
know, right, and they like to read their own shit and raw things
up like I don't know, Oh, they all think you're like addicted to
vicodin still, right, that's another thing. Yes, I didn't even know
this one. This is to fcl in like twelve years because like that's real
old news. And also the idea that you can't say anything like I think
for me, it is especially about like my children, you know, like
if you don't know better at the beginning, then to go through things like
you have been very honest about things, right, and I have been very
honest about things, and then you start to realize, oh, I guess
I can't talk about that because you're just going to use it against me forever
exactly, which is and I mean the thing is, I don't I don't
care because I don't read it. The reason I don't talk about like Xander
anymore obviously is because now he's a full on teenager living his own life and
that's none of anybody's business. But it's like, it's sad that we can't
share about things openly for fear of people coming after you for things that are
human right, the human condition, And if we can't like talk about these
things, then nobody can feel better and nobody can feel less alone. We're
not allowed to you know, I guess you're not allowed to share that you
had a problem with vik it in, which is a very fucking normal thing
that happens to a ton of people because people see it asn't are gonna like,
yeah, use it against you. Yeah, I know. And it's
like sad, I did that mental illness Happy Hour like so many years ago,
and I'm like, was proud of that episode because I was so honest
about everything and what I went through. And it's like, you never leave
now on Reddit. You know, it's apparently still going on to this day
that I'm hopping pills, you know, So even if you were the fact
that you're talking about it should be comforting to people that you know, we're
all going through. Like all these people that are on Reddit, are they
I guess their lives are pretty magical. They're making a lot of money,
they are raised their perfect parents, like they're they've never experienced, like they
haven't ever had any thing go on with their kids, or their kids struggle
in school or like nothing. They must be living these amazing lives that they
can like. But that's why I don't. Yeah, that's why I don't
read it very often. It's so negative. I was had a Facebook post
for my CBS appearance and like, of course, so many people incredibly supportive.
I've been overwhelmed by the amount of people that are telling me how much
they love the book, and they just being so nice. So I'm not
trying to be somebody that's like the one comment. It's just funny though,
that somebody on my personal Facebook wall I on my CBS thing, I was
like, don't look at my arms because I was like, oh my gosh,
my arms, I'm getting old. But whatever, some guy wrote like,
oh uh something about my her woke political takes or something her he called
me woke, said that I look sixty four. What they age shamed me,
or like they look shamed me said that, oh yeah, you don't,
let you look sixty four or something and you have shitty, like woke
political takes. Okay, that's fine, Oh my god. They're a follower
of mine on my book, Like, so the thing is you follow me
and obviously listen, must listen to the podcast to hear my woke political takes
because on the CBS News I didn't talk about politics at all, Right,
so you hate me because I'm woke woke, So I was like, woke
me, like I care about oppressed people, like I don't know what,
like what take in particular do you disagree with? And also you're like,
you follow me, they're a follower of mine, which is like, you
don't have to follow me to comment. By the way, my posts are
public, so if you heard about me some like whatever, if you saw
CBS News and you keen to my Facebook page, you could just comment and
say something mean without being a follower. Right, So you are you hate
me, hate my views and think I'm old and ugly, but can't wait
for the next thing that I'm going to say. I don't understand. I
know, I know it's crazy and I don't get it, and isn't it's
insane, Like it's just I just really feel bad. Who I feel bad
for is people that are big stars or people you know like that just you
must have to have the thickest skin and just tune everybody out. Yeah,
talking about people who aren't out there trying to social media influencers like and are
kind of asking for that, like want their every bit of their lives to
be on display. I'm talking about somebody like a Drew Barrymore yes right,
who came up as a child star, is just trying to like make a
living, isn't trying, you know, and struggles like we all do,
and has to constantly be judged or their looks right or you know for all
that stuff, right right right? Anyway, Hey Alli, Well this was
