Speaker 1: Made a decision.
Speaker 2: Oh sunny Sun on IDASIONN.
Speaker 3: So what's up everybody? Welcome to for crying out loud.
This is weird for people. I'm going to just acknowledge
that it's me. It's Stephanie Wilder Taylor doing the intro.
That has happened very few times in like fifteen years.
But it's me. Lynette is on vacation. But this is exciting.
I have a personal friend of mine, friend of the show,
amazing writer, a talented podcaster. Her podcast is called Oddly
Oddly specific. You can pipe in oh oh yeah yeah.
Also also she is a social media she's she's blown
up on TikTok. When it was last here, you had
like two hundred and something, about two hundred something. Now
we're like almost at three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand
TikTok followers. It's Meredith Lynch, everybody. I think we teased
her appearance coming up through Why do I almost say,
oddly pacific.
Speaker 1: That's the story of my life. I'm like, no, it's
great to be here. I love love this. As you know,
this was like the first podcast I ever got into
when I was like a twenty five year old and
I was like, I'm obsessed with this podcast of these.
Speaker 3: Two mom what possible reason. I guess you needed a mom.
I did need a mom young yeah. Yeah, and we
have Lynette and I have big aunt energy.
Speaker 1: Total ant energy, big sister energy. And I just thought,
I mean, also, like, there weren't a ton of podcasts
out then, and you guys were like a weekly show.
Speaker 3: That's true, and we we used to like way back
in the day, we had some cool guests.
Speaker 1: I didn't like guests, so I wouldn't even like me.
Speaker 3: Nobody likes guests. I mean, they're gonna love you. They
loved you. They loved you when you've been on before
and they were like, she can come back. Our audience
is very oddly specific about what they like and don't like.
Speaker 1: I love your audience. Though I am very active in
the for Crying Out Loud Facebook group. I don't I
don't always comment, but I am a lurker. And let
me just tell you, I'm in a lot of Facebook
groups and they are They're like, they're so awful. There's
so many that are so mean where people just like
bully people. But your group is so sweet, Like people
will just be like my daughter's looking at colleges. Anyone
have a recommendation for a hotel and I don't know Seattle, Washington.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just nice people, yes, And we have all
of our like our people, like we have our our
travel agent and our car broker and ore and they're
all like kind of in the group, like standing by,
like standing by.
Speaker 1: It's a little community, Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3: It's nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I have been in other communities too. I got thrown out,
like we are, let's already talk shit. So I got
thrown out. This is so many years ago, and we
did do an episode on it of the my favorite
murder Facebook group I got, I got muted. Well, it
doesn't exist anymore because it was so mean that Karen
and Georgia shut it the whole thing down. It's like,
nobody can play nice. You guys are coming for us,
the host, You're coming for people within the group. It
was just so okay. People will like get mad at
me for saying this. But at the time too, we
were like I'm pretty woke, Like I am pretty woke
and progressive obviously, but these people were like mad at
me for for some you remember this same story from
the same time ago there was another girl in the
group who who somebody just came for her and they
kicked her out and she didn't even do anything wrong,
and I was like standing by, going like, what what'd
she do? How'd she get hurt? She was like, and
then the person and then she was like girl at
one point, and then the person who had a female
avatar in their Facebook was like, how dare you assume
my gender or whatever? And the person who got thrown
out was like, oh my god, I'm sorry if I
did that, but like I what I I'm like a
good person. I had good intentions, and they threw her
out and then I started arguing with them, and then
they threw me out.
Speaker 1: It's like a bar fight.
Speaker 3: But I was like, wow, this is like a mean
ass group.
Speaker 1: What were you doing in the group to be like
what would people do in the group to begin with?
Speaker 3: I feel like I might have just been in there
to cause trouble in the first place, like if her
being honest.
Speaker 1: Yeah or yeah.
Speaker 3: I think, oh, I know, because there was a bunch
of stuff going on with that podcast and they were
everybody was mad at the hosts, so I think I
was wanting the tea Oh yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. Okay. You know what's weird though, was like,
you know, we used to have the d of the
of the like the reality stars, et cetera, and now
it's morphed into like the drama of the podcasters of
the reality show. And I'm like, sometimes that just feels
like a little too meta even for me.
Speaker 3: Yes, it does, it does. Now. I just use Reddit
for my reality. I go to Reddit for reality stuff,
like if I've watched Real Housewives of Beverly Hills the
night before, and I want to know what people think,
you know, or what they're mad about, and that's where
I go. That's what I cap check.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I try not to go on Reddit only because,
like you know, there there's a few posts about me,
and they they cut a little bit, and so I
try not to.
Speaker 3: I looked before because I think we were talking about it.
So I went and looked at I didn't see anything.
Speaker 1: Listen, I find them. There's like Meredith Lynch took one
graduate level communications class and now she thinks she has
everything figured out. I'm like, I've never even taken.
Speaker 2: One graduate communications class, so.
Speaker 3: Thank you, you overestimate me.
Speaker 1: There is someone though, who has an account that's like
specifically to bully me, but it's on TikTok and it's
called y'all are gonna love this. It's called Meredith Lynch
should get braces? What you guys? I had braces? So
like I don't really And so they.
Speaker 3: You have adorable straight teeth.
Speaker 1: I mean like honestly, everybody's teeth shifts as we get older,
and like, my bottom ones are a tiny bit crooked,
but like my top two yeah, my top one, yes, right.
Speaker 3: And my bottom ones went crazy. They like they're completely
doing their own thing. And it's only been in the
last like eight years. So all of a sudden, I'm like, oh, no,
do I need braces?
Speaker 1: Do they try to push them on you at the dentist? No,
they pushed. Do they push them on you?
Speaker 2: I need to go back to the dentist. It's been
a little while.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm a dentist pusher.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll make you go. Yeah, it's been a little
too long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna text you right after this like hi, no,
but yeah, they have an account called Meredith Lynch to
get braces, and they took a photo of me, and
I'm pretty sure they doctored my tea on it and
then they have that as their profile picture. Yeah, and
and they leave me all kinds of crazy comments and uh.
Speaker 3: The other day is Bethany Frankel?
Speaker 1: No? People always say that, and I'm like, no, I don't.
I do.
Speaker 3: I mean, she seems to have a lot of time
on her hands.
Speaker 1: She does, but like, I also don't think she's that
Internet savvy, Like I don't think she'd know how to
edit a photo.
Speaker 3: I wonder if she'd gets somebody to do it.
Speaker 1: I think Bethany, all things considered, like what doesn't want
to fuck with me again? Okay, you know, yeah, I
think I think she's savvy enough to know that. So yeah,
I think I know who it is though, because they
really fucked up the other day.
Speaker 3: Would they do?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: They I put up a Instagram story and right after
I put it up, they left a comment about the
Instagram story on TikTok. But like, here's the I can
see who looks at my Instagram stories And I had
just put it out, so I was like, oh, I
know it's one of you. Like it was a tiny
little list and I was like, oh, I know who
it is now, so it's okay. You don't have. Like,
here's the thing, it's totally cool to not like me.
Speaker 3: Did they do that on their Meredith needs Brace's account.
Actually they looked at it on that account.
Speaker 1: No, a different account, but it was just such a
small amount that I could tell. And I had already
had my suspicions on who they were, so I was like, oh, confirmation.
But actually they changed their username. It's no longer Meredith
Lynch should get braces. Now, it's like Meredith Lynch seven
dollars Patreon because they're like, they're really mad that I
have a Patreon. They really don't like that I have
a Patreon.
Speaker 3: Well that's free advertising. Yeah, I know, I hear that
as only seven dollars, totally like, hey, get in there
on the seven dollars level and you can hear a
lot of juicy content.
Speaker 1: You can hear you, guys. I'll tell you right now.
There's a great post on there about how Jason Sedakis
has the same hobby as Luis kh.
Speaker 2: Ah what what? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I don't mean stand up, so listen, that's like
I just give that to you for free. But yeah,
so anyway, that's that's my hater, and so I try
not to like indulge too much in it because they
come that's the great thing they come to me.
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, I mean you can find this on any
social media platform, you know, yeah, Facebook, the Instagram, the TikTok.
I'm sure they all like find what is the thing
behind finding somebody who's not even famous? Because I'll use myself.
I use myself as an example and just like developing
like a white hot hatred for the person, Like why
not just not like it's not like we've dated them before,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Right? I think? No, I think like, but I do
think there's some thing there because I say that too,
Like I'm like, I'm like, I'm just like a fucking
dumb ass in a one bedroom apartment in West LA.
So humble brag, but no, that only means something to
be But you know, uh I I don't. I am
surprised that someone like would have that much just like
for me, Like I get it. I don't get it
when it's like, oh I feel that way about Megan Markle,
Like I get it when it's like a big, big celebrity,
But I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, it's just what's that I can't stand Megan mark.
Speaker 1: You know, I was like all for Megan Markle, and
now I'm like, girl, that's a fuck enough, Like, I'm
all fucking set with you.
Speaker 3: Why I don't understand. I don't follow her, so I
don't get She's very polarizing though, or is it just
one one way most people seem to not like care
for her?
Speaker 1: Why don't you care for her?
Speaker 2: She just bugs the shit out of me? First of all,
I like, I don't like I am half English, but
I don't care at all about the royalty and prince
and princess. But I understand like a lot of people do.
But like, to be fair, I haven't, Like I haven't
watched her new Netflix show. I've just seen clips of her,
like making pasta on it, and I.
Speaker 1: Think that's all you need to do.
Speaker 2: Why, like, why, why do people care? Why do they
care about this it? I don't. I don't get it,
and she seems insufferable.
Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things where two things
are true at the same time, right, Like I would
imagine that being in the royal family is really fucking shitty. Yeah,
it seems I wouldn't want to be in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guarantee he doesn't seem that great, right, seemed
she's no longer with us. Yeah, she didn't seem great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Prince wasn't a very good guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah she's even worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah what about King Charles, He's worse. He's terrible.
Speaker 2: I don't know about King. I was talking about Prince Uh.
Speaker 1: Oh, Prince William.
Speaker 2: Yeah on the Epstein he's one of the Epstein guys. No, yeah,
one of the Yeah. They like they know he did.
They like they cut him off. They were like Prince Andrew,
Oh you mean.
Speaker 1: Oh Andrew, Yes you met William. I was like it
was like William would have been like fifteen no, yes,
Andrew is yeah, yeah, you're right. Well no, I just
think like being in the royal family would be a nightmare,
and like marrying into any family is fucking hard, right,
So like imagine, like you leave your country, you're the
first person of color to ever join this family. You
get pregnant, and literally they're like, hey, do you mind
just like giving us a prediction on how black the
baby's gonna be?
Speaker 2: Like that's at first, I will admit, at first I
was on that team. But the more then they left,
then they came over here. Then she starts a podcast
that like she doesn't then work on, and she's just
thrown all these massive opportunities that she seems to just
not do anything with or like really say anything with.
Speaker 3: And can we be bitter at somebody for having a
for being from the royal family and not working on
their own podcast, Like can she? I mean, does Oprah
work on all her own all the projects that are
under oprah name?
Speaker 2: I would I mean I would think that she like
works on her show. She like right, I mean.
Speaker 1: She's first of all, she's a little hustler, right, Like
she fucking hustled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's hungry.
Speaker 1: So did but so like Megan Markle did too, and
in a lot of ways, I think, like you don't
end up a series regular. Like I remember reading about her.
She wanted to be a like a foreign officer and
so like work for like the I don't know, the government,
and she kept taking the test and she kept failing,
and then when that didn't work out, she was like, Okay,
I want to get on a TV show so I
can be in like SAG. And I think it would
have just been SAG at the time, so I can
be in SAG. So I don't fault her for that.
She's very strategic, so like, good for fucking her, right,
But at the same time, I see what you're saying
is like she kind of like Oprah's a great interviewer.
Oprah has like plucked people and made people into stars.
So it's like like doctor Oz yeah, or doctor Fell.
Speaker 3: But like great people.
Speaker 1: No great people, but like, I don't know, I think
that's the that's maybe the difference there. And like Oprah
was like a trained journalist, that's probably also the difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's not fair to compare Oprah to
Megan Markle.
Speaker 1: Megan Markle would love it, though, Yeah.
Speaker 2: She would love it. Oprah's Oprah, like she's great.
Speaker 3: Nor was saying that how do we feel about the fight?
It's gonna be like the oldest fucking reference ever, But
how how are we feeling about when Oprah had a
fight with eyan La van Zant? Remember that, No, am
I going to just be the oldie in the room.
Speaker 2: I don't even know who that other place?
Speaker 3: You remember like fixed my life, Iyana fixed my life?
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And many years ago yan Lo van Zant she had
had a book. I read her book. It was there's
one called in the meantime that was her book. Anyway,
Oprah basically kind of was going to give her this
giant opportunity, and i Yanla was like, yeah, I don't know,
Yanla got a too big for her breeches. And then
Oprah was like, all right, well fuck off then like
and then Iyanla later was just like, oh my god,
what did I do? And was like apologizing to Oprah?
And I never knew whose side to be on with that, Like,
was Oprah like, I'm just gonna offer you no great
Oprah was basically like I made you because she was
a guest on Oprah a bunch, right, And then Oprah
was gonna give her a show I think it was.
And then either a Yama was like I don't need you,
like I'm gonna do my I don't remember what the
details were. I thought maybe you guys would remember. Why
would you? Why would you possibly remember my story about
a Yamla van zandt fix my life?
Speaker 1: I remember that show though, Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I think if I was
in the Oprah world, I would just shut the fuck
up and go along for the ride. Look at poor
Gail has to go to space. That's how committed she
got to the Oprah thing. Did you see that Gil's
going to space? Oh my god, did you see that
Gal's going to space?
Speaker 3: No, you're breaking news right now, guy.
Speaker 2: That was a thing for a few months, like, Hey,
we're doing rides to space and it's Jeff Bezos and
it's William Shatner, and then like I feel like they
just stopped doing that.
Speaker 3: We're not doing well with air travel right now. In general.
I don't think like if Elon's behind it, I would
like go to space right now.
Speaker 1: That's a good point.
Speaker 3: Honestly, Let's get flying to Phoenix down first and then
go to Mars. Okay, let's settle down.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't fuck with space because they didn't let
Lance Basco.
Speaker 3: I agree, right, How Plance bask get hurt?
Speaker 1: Do you remember when Lance wanted it?
Speaker 3: Of course I do. Yes, such a big deal, such
a big deal.
Speaker 1: Well, now there's this new space group that's going and
it's just like all the most fucking insufferable people. And
then Gail King, it's like Katie Perry, Oh, let's send her,
let's not bring her back. Lauren Sanchez, the Bezos fiance. Okay,
I can't even afford to get her lips fixed. I'm
sorry be such a cut today. No, but like, have
you seen your lips?
Speaker 3: I don't think I have. I wish we had. I
wish this was now a video podcast. We could be
like going it up on the screen.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the deal with her lips, because I actually
went to a professional about this. Oh, her lips have
this like thing where they kind of like are there.
It's like they got a space in between them. Like
it's almost like she can never close her lips because
the top, the top lip is like up and Helen
can find an image for us and we'll all America.
Speaker 2: Will I can't show you, but I'm looking at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and do you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, are you talking about her upper lip? Yep, yep?
Speaker 1: Okay. So I asked my I asked someone I will
say who I asked, But I was like, so, what's
going on there? And they said, well, most likely she
just has an injector who's refusing to say no. And
so like now she's just like, yeah, but rental looks
better than what's going on over there. So anyway, who
else is going. Who else is on that trip? It's
like Lauren Sanchez somebody else who's really fucking annoying. I
can't remember, but anyway, Carrie Underwood, I wish. But it's
it's like, do you have any desire to go to space?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Yes, you do, of course you do.
Speaker 2: Your guy?
Speaker 1: What is what's going on there that we don't like?
Speaker 3: Science fiction?
Speaker 2: Oh? I'm rewatching the show called The Expanse right now,
and it's you hate it so much and I love it,
really good space TV show, like six seasons and I've
already seen it and I'm watching it again.
Speaker 3: Is it a doc?
Speaker 2: No, well, it's just a regular TV show. But it's
so good.
Speaker 3: People have gone to space. They could have footage from
that footage. Yeah, Jalen says, it's like, of course not,
it's not a doc. Like it's not real. Space isn't real.
That's a sci fi thing. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just like I've never really fucked with space. Yeah,
Like I don't feel like I need it. Is there
anything going on up there? Kilan, Is there anything happening
up there that we really need?
Speaker 2: Don't get me started on aliens, because oh no, I'll
go off on that topic too.
Speaker 3: Are aliens in space or are they in another? On
another well, I guess planets are in space.
Speaker 2: They're everywhere.
Speaker 3: You think, Yeah, you think they're here and we just
can't see them.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they walk among us. I think that
they're in the ocean, like deep deep down in the ocean.
But I'm not sure about walking among us that one.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say, why do you think they're in the ocean.
Speaker 2: Because there's there's videos of objects like coming out of
the ocean and then setting off into the sky at
like an insane rate of speed, like it's a whale.
Speaker 3: Like, why would they be in the ocean? Like, let's
just think about this for a minute. Why would they
be in the ocean.
Speaker 2: Because we can't get that. We can't get down there.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, we can, we do go down there. Well
it's really a titanic.
Speaker 2: Well, like you can't like navigate through the ocean and
going that far down.
Speaker 3: They're hiding from us.
Speaker 2: Then they're staying out there. They're just watching us. They
like to watch us. We're entertaining, they're entertaining.
Speaker 3: To them, But how are they watching us from the
bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 2: They have a lot of really advanced technology.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like submarine technology, like they just shoot
stuff up and then they like a little summarine things like.
Speaker 2: A little drone. It just launches the drone from from
like the best.
Speaker 1: They're big f col fans, They're like, fuck that guest, Meredith,
bring back Linnette.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: But I think I you know what, I don't disagree.
I think I believe that there's other life forms in
this planet. I don't know if they're in this, in
this whatever in the not Solar System galaxies. I believe
in that. I don't know if there's aliens in the ocean.
But here's the way I see it, Like I don't
know that we need like other than the alien thing,
which we don't need to I don't know that we
need to know about them.
Speaker 3: And we could just go under the ocean. According to Kailin,
we don't have to go to space.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, you could do either. I just want to
go to space because it's cool. It would be so
cool to see the Earth from like that far away
and to be you.
Speaker 3: Could google it google images.
Speaker 2: And see I can google like the Caribbean too, But
I'd rather go there and like lay on the beach.
I want to see it for myself.
Speaker 3: You're not going to like lay on another planet though,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I could, I would were you like always a kid
that likes space, h I.
Speaker 2: Love black holes and dark matter and super all that
sort of stuff.
Speaker 3: It's so cool though, but if you follow in the
black hole then you're gonna die, Like.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's not going to be fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Would you go to space if it meant you had
to go with Lauren Sanchez and Gail.
Speaker 2: I've been googling to try and find the rest of
this the flight, which is Katie Perry, Gail King, Lauren Sanchez,
Amanda Nuian.
Speaker 3: This is not Amanda Bindes.
Speaker 2: Asha Boo, and Carrie Anne Flynn. Those are the women.
Speaker 3: I don't recognize the other name.
Speaker 1: I think they're more they're like more like academic and
like I think someone's a space person, so they're probably
Kaylin's friend.
Speaker 3: And do you think they're going to be like what
the fuck is Lauren Sanchez doing with us?
Speaker 1: Well, that's like when you go on a trip and
you're like, well, her dad paid for it, Like, I
guess we have to bring our I guess.
Speaker 2: It's a blue origin spaceflight. So it's Jeff Bezos's thing.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Yeah, so they're like, they all have to
be nice to her. Yeah, but are they like, why
is Katy Perry here? Or are they Are they like
Katy Perry fans? I think they're Katy Perry fans. All right,
let's take a quick break and talk about some excuse me,
let's talk about pretty litter. Meredith, do you have any cats?
Speaker 1: Uh? No, I don't, but I have two dogs, and
I'm willing to I'm willing to train them in a
litter box situation.
Speaker 3: Well, pretty litter is like a new thing for cat
people or anybody who has a cat, even if you're
not a cat person. So here's the thing. One of
the downsides about for some people about having cats is
that can stink up your house because litter boxes contend
to smell. But pretty litter is the fix for that.
It's non clumping, formula traps odor and moister. It's ultra absorbent,
it's lightweight, it's low dust, and one six pound bag
works for up to a month. And pretty litter can
give you peace of mind because it changes color to
indicate early signs of potential illnesses. In your cat. Like
I said, that's pretty cool, like UTI's kidney issues and more.
And it ships right to your door, so you're not
going to run out and you don't have to have
those huge cat litter boxes taking up space. Pretty litter
helps to keep houses smelling fresh and clean. Try it,

Speaker 1: Gladly I would be honored.

Jason Sudeikis got divorced from Olivia wild Olivia Wilde and
he and there was a lot of like go and stuff.
He was like real kind of desperate to he was
coming over right, he was trying to hang out. She
was calling him a nuisance.
Speaker 1: I think that's when she was dating Harry Styles. Yes,
and that was like and listen, she would like.
Speaker 3: Jason sudak Is for Harry Style though, right, right, right,
and then Harry.
Speaker 1: Styles was like they yeah, but I mean like they
dated for like a few years.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they dated for like probably like three or four years.
So like, I feel like that's worth it for like
a good three years of banging Harry Styles. Yeah, I agree,
And Jason Snigas seems like an asshole.
Speaker 3: So I know that's what I'm trying to find out. Well,
now we're finding out, But did we already? Did we
always think that?
Speaker 2: I mean I just associate him with Ted Lasso, So
like I've always.
Speaker 3: Thought everybody everybody loves Ted Lasso?
Speaker 1: Do they?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I didn't like season two, but okay, what let's that
you don't like it. I didn't like season two that much.
I don't.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little yeah, yeah, it's I liked
it season one, but I lost interest.
Speaker 3: But anyway, go on.
Speaker 2: He's always just been that guy to me though outside
of the show. When I see him, I'm like, oh, yeah,
like that makes sense that you do ted Lasso and
you're like, because he seems like he's that guy.
Speaker 3: I feel like he has golden retriever energy exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But that's always those all those are always the ones
you gotta watch.
Speaker 3: I can't wait. So what's okay? Story?
Speaker 1: So I remember reading like that he like, you know,
when Olivia Wilde would be like trying to leave the
house and they were like separated, he like threw himself
in front of the car.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: To me, that's very manipulative, right, Oh you think yeah?
And so anyway, I just was like, I'm not into him.
And then remember he claims I didn't know what was happening,
but she got served papers while on stage at like
a women in Film event. Yes, and she it was
like incredibly embarrassing, and he was like, oh, I didn't
know that they were going to do it then, and
it seemed like it was like an event where you
needed like access to get in. It seemed like they
probably did know that he was that like that that
was going to happen. So when he started to get
really into the w NBA and become like obsessed with
Kitlin Clark, which like, I think it's really cool. Caitlin
Clark seems awesome. I love that, like, you know, women's
basketball is like finally starting to get like, you know
what I think it deserves. But he was like just
going a little too hard for me. Like I was like,
all right, he's really trying to sell us on him,
being like, yeah, I'm the w NBA guy. And he
would like taunt Angel Reese when she was still in
college and she's sort of like Kaitlin Clark's rival or
what the media has made a rival. And I was like,
I don't know, I think it's like weird that like
a grown man is like taunting a college Like where
was he doing this like.
Speaker 3: A like a games, oh, like yelling shit out at gameses, like.
Speaker 1: Acting like a like like grow the fuck up. Why like,
you're also supposed to be the like Ted Lasso guy.
And then he would just be like so into like
the Kaitlin Clark thing that I was like, something is
something feels fucking weird here?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right? And so I was like, I think he's using
like women's basketball to rehab his image because he doesn't
have a great reputation with women. This was like maybe
two years after all the Olivia Wild stuff came out.
So I just said this on social media. I was like,
I feel like he's using women to rehab his image.
And then it was just like a flood of information
was sent to me regarding him and IMS or was
it out there in the open bms some in the open?
And I can tell you, like I talk listen, I've
been known to talk a little bit of shit. Okay,
I have never talked about someone. And then had so
many corroborating stories sent to me, wow about someone and
from all different people, and basically they were just like, yeah,
he's like an absolute piece of shit. He this is
what I was told. He has a hobby that's similar
I won't even say what it is, but.
Speaker 3: Allegedly masturbating in front of that suspect.
Speaker 1: I can't wait till I get a seasoned desist from Jason.
Speaker 3: Today, guys, I said it, I'll get the season, but.
Speaker 1: They that multiple people told me that that's what he
has done, among other things that you know happen in
Hollywood with favoritism and weirdness. And I was told there's
something that's like that's probably going to come to light
sooner rather than later. Interesting and so, and I think
that's why.
Speaker 2: He doing this like without permission or is just just
like a kink thing for him, like because if he's
if he's doing it like without their permission, that's one thing, right,
but that's just like that's just like.
Speaker 3: Listen, let's not hate on all people that I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to I don't want all right.
Speaker 3: I think that it might be the wokest episode no.
Speaker 1: Like, I mean, from what I could understand, there was
like power dynamics involved, similar to the Luis c K thing,
because like Louis c K, like, there were some people,
like I think it was like Sarah Silverman who's like, yeah,
let's fucking go, But there are plenty of women who
don't want that happening in front of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've told this story before. I have a friend
like who I was very good friends with who is
it called contemporaneously like told me like right after it happened.
It's not like, oh, you know what happened to me
a long time ago. It was like right after it happened.
She was like, oh my god, this is so crazy.
But I was and it was at this comedy festival
and she was like, but Louis c k asked me
if I wanted to watch him masturbate, and she was like,
and I was like all right, So she went to up.
He was like, okay, come up to my hotel room,
and then basically she went and like sat down and
he like whipped it out, masturbated to completion, and then
was like thanks, and she was like okay, cool. And
then of course a lot of people knew that story
because she told everybody. So then later when all the
Louis stuff came out and this was like ten years later,
maybe more people like were like, you should say something
to the press. She had press coming to her, going
will you tell this story? And she was like no,
because like it wasn't against my will, like I have
nothing to tell, like he asked me if I was
would be interested by something I'd like to see and
she said yeah. So she's like, well, I didn't get
hurt by it, but I'm just saying so there were
other right, But there were many other people who did
not feel that way, who he was masturbating on the
phone when they were not suspecting it. There was like
a lot of stuff he did. So that's where it
gets tricky, though, is where totally some people are like
like Sarah Silverman was like, what am I gonna do? Like, yeah,
he did that, but it was never.
Speaker 1: Didn't bother me or whatever. I also think like there's
different like power dynamics, So like what if you're like,
I'm just making this up, but like what if you're
a writer on ted Lasso and he's like, hey, do
you want this? You're like no, not really, but like
I mean maybe that'll get me something like I mean,
that's that's what happens, like the lines get blurred and whatever.
Like that's I think the problem. So listen, maybe it's
completely untrue about Jason Sadakis, but I will say, like,
just as someone who like I've talked a lot of
shit in my day and when you start to hear
the same thing again and again, and that's like, I mean,
that's that's just holly weird. When you start to hear
the same rumor again and again a lot of times
there's some yeah to.
Speaker 3: It and people won't believe it. Just like you know,
you heard the same story about Bill Cosby like a
hundred times, I think literally a hundred times, and people
were like, nah, not our Bill. Maybe people just maybe
he was just offering him like a tasty beverage that
relaxed them. Like why do we all have to like
come down on Bill Cosby? He's the bagilla puddin guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I love that Preadith is looking at Kaylin like is
this no?
Speaker 1: I really I feel like I'm ruined. First of all,
Kaylin didn't know about Bill Cosby, so now, but it's
like I'm.
Speaker 3: Kaylin's like, not my Bill Cosby.
Speaker 1: But I do think there's something about the guy who
always plays the really good guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yes, yeah. People are not their characters on TV, right.
I mean it's very rare that somebody is like, oh
my god, he plays this really nice guy and he's
just the nicest guy. Like people are actors, Yeah, and
most people are not the characters they.
Speaker 1: Play, or they're like compensating for something. Yes, like I'm
gonna play the really nice guy Kilan. What was what
role did you play when you were on TV as
a child?
Speaker 2: I was, uh, well, was my father's son who died
in a house fire?
Speaker 1: Is that like secretly what you want?
Speaker 3: Just kidding?
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was gonna be that dark.
Speaker 2: I didn't know if we had brought this up and
that you knew that I was on. It was just
a one episode thing. My dad had a Western TV
show called The magnICON seven, and I went and spent
a day on an episode and I played like his son,
and he's like and then you know my mom in
the show and he's like, remembering back to when we
were alive, and yeah, we ended up the bad guys
burned our house down while we were in it.
Speaker 1: Did you guys talk about that, like when it like, hey,
you're gonna be on my show? Like how old were you?
Speaker 2: Six?
Speaker 1: You're gonna be on my show? But like you're gonna die?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. I think it was fine. They
didn't like show me. It was just you know, it
was like a flashback to me. Like riding a horse, like, hey, dad,
what's going on? And then yeah, I forget how they
played out the whole burning the house down thing, but yeah,
that was my I've always.
Speaker 3: Wondered how kids don't get traumatized by the stuff that
they have to play. Especially this always bothers me because
I always think about the actor. Anytime you have a
kid playing like an overweight kid that's being made fun of,
I'm just like, how do you separate? How are you?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: No, but don't worry, You're not really fat. Like you're
just playing a kid who's getting bullied for being overweight,
and they're calling you all these horrible names, and your
character is really sad about it, but like in real life,
like you're fine. Like it's got to be so so
hard and so damaging. I feel like if my kid,
I wouldn't want them to play that part, like I
would just you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, for sure. Did any of your kids ever
want to act?
Speaker 3: Not really was in plays when she was young, and
she was really good, but then she kind of lost
interest and didn't really care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think it's also like I
would also imagine it's like really weird to be a
kid and like having to play to have it that
you have a different family. Yeah, I think that would
be weird. Did you ever act as a kid?
Speaker 3: No? No, I took acting classes when I was pretty
young and it was awful. I found it traumatizing.
Speaker 1: What about it?
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like I've told this story before, but
I have a weird a walk that we got, like
a sway back and pigeon toed walk and I got
made fun of it like mercilessly as a kid. And
I went to this acting class and everybody had to
walk all around the room and then let all the
other people tell you like what your walk, like, what
your image you're projecting or whatever with your walk, like
what that says about you? And I refused to do it.
I was just like nope, nope, not going to do it.
And then I was felt. I was like crying on
the inside, like I have to get out of here.
I want the to be swallowed up. I just don't.
And then I never went back.
Speaker 1: That must have been like some weird like method of acting, right,
Like there's all different like techniques, like what did you
use in the house fire?
Speaker 2: When I was six? The only thing I remember about.
I remember like, well, Ron Perlman was one of the
cowboys that like picked me up and put me on
a horse, and I remember it kind of hurt, but
I just remember being really hot and loving that I
could get free cokes whenever I wanted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't see that. Maybe that's how it cancels
out the like you're playing the chubby kid. You're like, well, listen,
I get to go to fucking school for three hours
and get craft services, So fuck all of you.
Speaker 3: I guess, but you'd really have to be able to separate,
you know, totally, especially when you're rehearsing it and the
I don't know, a table reading, you know what is
a really positive thing though in my life. No, I've cosmetics. Yeah,
I don't know. I just get like really inspired when
I see somebody elsewhearing thrive and they use the like
the eyebrightener eyeliner. I like to put a little dark
like a black eyeliner and then a little of the
white or the tope, the kind of shimmery eyebrightener on top,
and it's a really it's a great look. I get
complimented to. Yeah, the brilliant eyebrightener is an eyeshadow highlighter
stick made to brighten and open your eyes, giving you
an instant eyelift. So it's really cool. And also another
thing I love about Thrive is that cause is right
in the name. This is a company that really walks
the walk. They don't just talk the talk. They give
back to communities like domestic mind, lens, cancer, you know,
and I really like that about them. So celebrate the

I've met her before, I've done I did a podcast
convention or something with her.
Speaker 1: But mals, we love malls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so excited, Molly meclear. Mm hmm yes, she's she's
really fun. She's going to be together with you on
our next episode. So like, for the remainder of this episode,
let's just talk about you.
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna talk about Molly and I
was like, fuck, yeah kidding, Molly and I Actually Molly
and I will talk about this. We actually had the
same pediatrician growing up in back in Massachusetts.
Speaker 3: That's so crazy, Like.
Speaker 1: What was he doing just like raising people to be
like unhinged podcasters? No, you know, honestly, Okay, where were
you born? I was born in Massachusetts on Cape Cod
and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. My father was a National Park ranger. Wow,
so now he wouldn't have a job.
Speaker 3: So was it was the town like very seasonal? I
guess they're all yours. So you were like, what do
you call it, like a towny? I guess so yeah,
I guess I was a towny. They call it.
Speaker 1: That, I mean sort of, but like we lived we
only lived there for my dad's job, so we lived
almost like in army housing, Like we lived like on
almost like a base kind of like it was all
government people, all people who work for the government. And
then when I was like three, I moved to Saint Croix,
which is in the Virgin Islands.
Speaker 3: What yes, I know about you?
Speaker 1: I know. That's some of my lore. It's why I'm
as unhinged as I am.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I lived so my father got transferred for
work down there, and uh and I lived down We
lived down there for a couple of years. And then
a hurricane blew down our house. Yeah, what yes, I know,
I sound like I'm just making things up.
Speaker 3: Were you in I was in it. You were in
the house, I was I blew your house down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were in the house. We didn't think it
was going to be that bad. It was this famous hurricane.
It was called Hurricane Hugo. It was like one of
the bears. Yeah, it was like one of the biggest
hurricanes to ever happen. And then it actually ended up
coming up to the you know, continental US, but it
destroyed the island of Saint Croix. We didn't think the
hurricane was going to be that bad. So like we
were just like we boarded up the windows. We've done it,
like before, we'd had it happen before where this would
these these would come through and and then we were
in the house. My mom was like you'll relate to this.
My mom was like, I think I just heard the
roof come off, and my dad was like, there's no
way that could happen, absolutely not, Like, sure enough the
roof was coming off.
Speaker 3: So were you guys? Was there like a basement?
Speaker 1: No, there's no like, no, no one has a basement
in St. Croix, caause it's just like I mean, these
like little stucco houses. And so we went to our
neighbor's house and and we stayed there for a little while,
and then their roof started coming off. So we we
got in a jeep and we put this jeep behind
a tree, and we sat there all night, and we
woke up because we again we lived on like almost
like a little government base that was all just people
who worked for the government.
Speaker 3: If the wind could take the roof off your house,
how did it not just blow your jeep away?
Speaker 1: So my dad parked a huge tree had fallen, So
my dad parked the jeep in front of the in
front of the tree, like behind the trees, like where
the wind was coming. And I remember like all the
windows smashing in the geep. I know, it was like
so traumatizing, And I woke up the next morning, it
was just everything was flat.
Speaker 3: So you fell asleep in the jeep.
Speaker 1: Eventually, yeah, eventually, and then I woke up and everything
everything was everything we had was gone.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it was crazy. What I know, the house,
you guys do, well, we went in like for like
a week. We lived at a friend's house who like
hadn't their house hadn't blown away. But it was super
I mean I was very very lucky, and I acknowledged this,
but like the island was the the like where people
were incarcerated. I don't know if it was a jail
or prison had been had blown down. So there was
like a ton of looting happening on the island, just all.
Speaker 3: These convicts just running around.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and like they were just like like you know,
snatch and grab, and they'd gone and stolen rental cars
and machetes. And so my sister and I, my sister,
my mom and I my other sister wasn't born yet.
We were the first civilians off the island. And we
were there for like a week, like we couldn't get
off the no one whould get off the island. And
I remember we flew in this little prop plane from
Saint Croix to Puerto Rico, and I can still remember
the pilot saying to my mom, like, listen, I don't
know if I have enough fuel to get us to
Puerto Rico. But there's no fuel left on Saint Croix,
so we're just gonna just gonna try. And I remember
being little and being like, I feel like that's a problem,
like even, and I think that's when my anxiety started.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you've had some shitty things happened, you know.
Speaker 1: I thought that, like I was all done. I feel
like I've seen enough.
Speaker 3: Your mom had some shitty things happen.
Speaker 1: I know that, poor fucking woman, right, And so then
we went to Puerto Rico and then we eventually got
back to back to Massachusetts, but my dad stayed in
Saint Croix for almost a year and worked to like
rebuild the island.
Speaker 3: Really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so my mom was that was like when I
finally that's when she like really started to get cranky,
god lover like she was. I think she was like,
this is too fuck.
Speaker 3: It was in Massachusetts by herself.
Speaker 1: With me and my younger sister, and yeah, so yeah,
I know that's that's how I landed in Massachusetts with
the same pediatrician as moms's. You have two siblings, I do,
and then my other sister was born, like oh yeah, hm, okay, yeah, okay,
so you live in Massachusetts. Then when you're kind of
not too old, like middle school, your mom gets diagnosed
with cancer. Yeah. God, I sound like I've had this
really depressing life.
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you're depressing.
Speaker 1: No, that's true. No, And my mom got cancer when
I was in middle school. And that's like when things
like things, you know, I had a very normal like
after Saint Croix, and then once my dad got back,
things felt like a very normal childhood. And then my
mom got cancer, and then I was just like, oh,
I think my life's not going to be normal anymore.
Like it was just like I knew like it wasn't
going to be normal anymore. And then my mom was
sick for a long time and like four years, and
then she died when I was a junior in high school.
Speaker 3: And let me ask you this, when you were younger,
did your mom present it like I'm gonna be fine,
yes or okay, yeah, she was was it early stage
and that spread or was it our she already knew
it was bad, but she.
Speaker 1: I think she knew it was really bad. But I
think she was optimistic, and I think she was sort
of like, when the going gets tough, the tough get going,
I'm gonna be fine, Like, don't worry about it, like
you you don't focus on school like all those kind
of things. I think she wanted our lives to be
as normal as possible, but they just like weren't anymore,
and it was impossible to like have it not be.
But I think, like I would say, after maybe like
a year of her being sick, like I was like, oh,
I don't think she like I started to figure out
she's not getting better, mostly cause I was like going
through her email. Oh really, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You started going through her email?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: And what was she saying in her email that like
tipped you off.
Speaker 1: That she had like less than six months to live?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I know why were you going through
her email? Were you suspicious?
Speaker 1: Yea, something was going on, yes, because like no one
was really telling me anything, but like I could, like
the adults would have conversations in the other room, and
I don't know, like I don't know if your oldest
is like this too, But like I wanted to be
in on all the things that were happening, like always
with the adults, Like I felt like I was an
extension of the adults as the oldest.
Speaker 3: Interesting. No, my kids are weirdly sort of disconnect, like
they don't care.
Speaker 1: They don't. I wonder though, if I cared because there
was such a scary thing happening.
Speaker 3: Probably I think maybe the security of like everything's like
pretty always pretty normal in our house. Like my kids
never they never get Like I remember evesdropping on my
mother once talking to one of her friends when she
was like first on chemo, and I remember her saying
to her friend like, yeah, well she said, like you know,
did the doctor tell you anything you can or can't do?
And she's like, well, I can't have sex for the
next six months. And I remember I was probably like
an eighth grade and I remember thinking like, oh, like my.
Speaker 1: Parents have sex. They've had sex three times, so they
could have three children, Like I really like that's like
how young I was, Like I didn't think adults had sex, right,
even though my parents had like a really nice marriage
and they would like go away on vacations together. Like
I was just like they're like two friends who hang
out and just happened just to have had a couple
of kids.
Speaker 3: That's funny. Well, that's probably like a sweet thing to
think that. Yeah, you think of your parents as friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that is sweet. Yeah, that is a
nice thing to think. But I just couldn't. I remember
one time my mom telling me, like we were looking
at a magazine that had Jessica Simpson on the cover,
and it was like, why I'm staying a virgin? Remember
that was like her whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And
my mom was like, oh, they all say this, but
they all give blowjobs. And I remember being like, she
thinks she knows what a blowjob is.
Speaker 3: That's like so cute.
Speaker 1: She has no idea what she just said.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. So yeah, so that's kind of like
how so when weird found out that she had six
months to live, did you were you? Were you like like,
oh my god, now I have to keep this a
secret that I know it because my mom's acting like
that's not a thing. Yes, that must have been really hard.
Speaker 1: It was hard. I know it was really hard. I
give like little Meredith a lot of credit, or like
teenage Mereth a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: And you probably couldn't talk to your dad about it either.
Then it would come out that you spied on her email.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so if you're going through something, tell your kids,
talk to your kids.
Speaker 3: Better, it's better. So then so then when your mom
passed away, when it was getting close, when she knew,
did she talk to you about it then or now?
She so she stayed in She left you in the
dark until the.
Speaker 1: Very completely in the Like I mean, I knew she
was getting a lot sicker, and like I think she
was having conversations with other people, but not with us. So,
like when my mom actually died, she was in the
hospital because she was just supposed to get more chemo,
and so they were like, oh, your counts are really low,
and that was like a big stressor like is that
we like couldn't get sick at home because like then
my mom like wouldn't be able to get her treatment.
So we all had to stay like really healthy, which
is like really hard when you have like three kids
in school all the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right, So they were like, don't go home because you
might get sick, you know, like you know, I get
a cold or whatever, and your counsel go down. So
they were like, let's just keep you here to get
you better and pump you up with fluids and not
have like see the kids whatever, And then like that
turned into a week and then after like two weeks,
I was like, is mom like coming home? My dad
was like, ah, I don't know. And then they're like,
you know. About a week later, he was like, you know,
she's not. She's just not going to come home, and
I was like, well, where the fuck is she gonna go.
That's when I like realized like, oh, she's like never
coming home. Oh gosh, I know that was a rough
night at the lunch house.
Speaker 3: Your mom didn't do any like like hey, say goodbye,
Like it was there's no terms of endearment, like.
Speaker 1: No, because like what I did get to go and
I went to I got to go and see her
of like several times, but I only saw her once
when I knew she was dying, and she was like
completely I feel like I've talked to you about this before,
like probably in writing, Like she was completely in the
place of like I'm coming home next week, so like
I don't want to come home to a mess. I
want the house to be picked up, and so I
just rolled with it. I was like, this is you know,
like she wants to be my mom till the bitter end.
She gets to be my mom till the bitter end.
And part of me wonders if that's what she wanted.
And then like two days later, they were like she's
really gone at this point, like she couldn't she wouldn't communicate,
and they were like, you can go in and see her,
but she might not recognize you. And so I decided
not to go in. And I've always like wondered if
that was the right choice, you know, like to not
go in that last time. But I just was working
with all the information that I had, and I think
there was part of me that was like, she's not
actually going to die, like you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 3: She's not coarse. The denial was going on for so
long that you're supposed to suddenly just like process all that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I was like I'm not I'm not
going to go in. And my sisters went in, and
I've talked to them before about like, hey, like, you know,
do you think it was the They were like, oh, honestly,
I wish I hadn't gone in because I just didn't
want to see her and have her not know who
I was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you remember her the way that do you remember
her still talking to you and still being your mom?
Speaker 1: Right? So yeah, Like sometimes I like worry, like I
keep cry thinking about it. But I'm like, did she
like like she like, where's my other kid? And like
she didn't see me. But at the end of the day,
like I was so young and I was like working
with the information that I had and I don't know,
I think, like it's like lose lose at the end
of the day, and I really didn't think and then
she she died like the next day. So it's like,
you know, what do you do? Right?
Speaker 3: I think that you did every thing that you could.
Thank you, And I mean that's an impossible choice, yeah,
given it is. Yeah, I think whatever decision you made
was the right decision for you at that time, totally.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, and so that's that's uh, that's how
I became who I am.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen it. I'm sure that trauma like does
inform your personality. It probably makes you more empathetic. I
will just say that Meredith took my writing class, and
I was blown away from the first thing she ever
read because you have such a realistic approach about you know,
you have that view of being a kid and everything
that you went through with your mom, and you don't
try to sugarcoat it and go like, you know, the
things that you say about it, it's not all like,
oh my god, my mom was just amazing, and you know,
you talk about the actual, real experience. I really want
you to write a book.
Speaker 1: I will that, I will that.
Speaker 3: You tell me about like what's going on with like
everything that you're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I quit my full time job. So
the Patreon is now seven dollars. But no, you know,
I've got a lot of different like irons in the
fire right now. I recently signed with a literary agent
to write a pop culture focused book and then hopefully
write the memoir. I'm graduating from grad school with my
MFA and May, so that's super exciting. And then you know,
I'm doing stand up working at it. It's not fucking easy,
