Sometimes the Friday Armchair Anonymous is subscription only, and that makes me sad.

First, i absolutely love the pod and nothing will stop me from listening. Second, your pinker episode fact check included a statement from Dax that michigan sometimes gets 180 days of “no sun”. That’s absolutely false. We get plenty of sun. I’ve lived here all my life. I’m 51 years old and I currently live in Ypsilanti, and previously Westland (not far from Milford or Detroit). We get some gloomy stretches, but never more than a few days without sun. We have an excellent mix of weather/climate/seasons which is why I’ll never leave. LOVE the POD. Always will. Monica is THE. BEST. She tones down the bro-speak and makes me love you both. Also, love some Wobbie -Wob.

Shipping Monica and Jerrod so hard

I used to listen to Smartless before listening to Dax. Smartless got super lame as those guys, who are super talented and funny in their own right, just got lazy with interviewing. Dax, I think your podcast is truly so good. I’ve been listening for over a year now each week. I really don’t understand all the 1 stars and hate. Clearly some of it is because of Aldean. But, if we just start cherry picking one political side of the table, we end up with one side of the conversation. I’m a conservative but I feel like you honor both sides really fairly. Monica gets a little overboard on her side but it is her opinion. I think you both make a great team and I think Monica has become an exceptional interviewer and partner. (The Robin to Stern). She buffers really well. I love the famous people interviews but also the intellects and storytellers. You’re not lazy when it comes to doing your research beforehand and that shows. Armchair is my favorite podcast right now and I think you are super talented at interviewing. You’re brutally honest and vulnerable and I just think that’s really fresh right now. And PS, the haters aren’t going anywhere because of who you put on the podcast. And if they do, it says more about them than this show. It’s great. The editing is decent other than on the recent Timothy episode. I thought I was going crazy when the convo about the SoHo club repeated itself. About the 58min mark to 1h7. Just got looped twice. But other than that, love the show.

My comfort show and people.

This podcast is one of the very best. I appreciate the wit and stories shared. Monica and Dax both have comforting voices that I enjoy listening to throughout the day.

I am an avid podcast listener and I discovered this gem about a week ago and I love it! Especially Armchair Anonymous! Super happy to have another podcast to binge on the daily.

Also known as Fayettenam.

love everything about this show. It makes me laugh out loud constantly! Love the armchair anonymous segment so much keep it coming!!

I don’t know why the worst reviews are shown first, but Dax is a great interviewer. I enjoy his questions, I enjoy the guests- you can tell his is very engaged in people and their stories or opinions. Monica is a good moderator for Dax- pulls him back a little and challenges his opinions and he does the same for her- I understand her place in this show. Not sure why these reviewers are all over her. I appreciate the honesty of character from both of them even if not always relatable. Loved the Seth Harp interview, I learned a lot. Wasn’t excited about the Jason Aldean episode, but it’s the first time I’ve been confused by a guest choice.

New follower. Please continue to feature a variety of guests, I really enjoy getting to hear from folks in a low stakes, non political segment.

Moms car is so funny. Dax said don’t leave a tip! My wife is very wealthy 🤣 I love the show. I just skip around and listen to people that seem interesting to me.

It's the only podcast I can turn to; it has been a constant for many years. I can't express how much I enjoy listening each week.

Love the podcast but I don’t understand why the editing is so poor. The conversations are choppy and it really disrupts the flow of conversation. It’s distracting and pretty disappointing for a Wondery podcast. LOVED the Luke Combs interview. It was a great listen, even if you don’t enjoy his music.

I know on Armchair Anonymous that it’s always going to be the same type of caller- a basic, boring white American woman aged 25 to 35 talking about some “hilarious” story about getting drunk at a sorority party. Mix it up with more men, different ethnicities, different types of stories, etc! Also Dax really puts down and degrades men in general and I’ve noticed casual racism from Dax too against Asians

I like their interviews and their sweet friends. I think they talk out of pocket about a good amount of topics which is sometimes a bit annoying. But overall love the guests. The fact check has become a bit meandering for me but I like the interviews.

The podcast is edited choppy, no natural pauses and doesn’t feel like I’m listening to a normal conversation. Sometimes a pause is powerful. If this was fixed, I’d start listening again.

I listened to this podcast for years and was so disappointed when they moved to only being available on Spotify - and I stopped listening when they moved. When I heard their ad on We’re Here to Help that noted they were once again available on all platforms, I was so happy — and now I have years of back catalogue to catch up on! lol. I’m training for my first marathon and the long episodes are great for that! It feels like coming home to friends I haven’t seen in a while.

Please Monica! Please stop with your little useless comments! They ruin the flow and are so irritating!

Love the show! I feel like Dax would’ve had more excitement if you had said that another Edwards played Goose in TopGun.

It’s a good podcast. Armchair Anonymous episodes are my favourite.

Love listening to the fact checks just to hear more stories on Dax’s fatherhood adventures. Even the simplest things are so fun to listen to and honestly I aspire as a father of 4 young boys to shape our lives similar to what you create in your home Dax. I know it’s not perfect (nor should it be) but I love how you guys just live life and it really does inspire me to do the same with my family. Thanks for sharing, I know there’s likely a price you pay with sharing that information.
