  • Fake Laughs

    The content is entertaining and thought provoking; however, Dax and his co-host have the most annoying, fake laughs that I cannot even follow this show. They have the same kind of fake laugh, so that’s how I know it’s not authentic. Too bad.

  • Love this damn podcast!

    Funny, charming & fun to listen to! I am not a new arm Cherry but I can say that it's the only podcast I've listed to all month because I need to catch up! Thanks for coming with me on all my daily walks. It wouldn't be the same without you two in my ear & bursting into laughter all by myself. 🩷

  • Armchair expert is all you ate Dax

    My Lordy. Where do I start? Listened to to pod from it inception. Coming off Anna Faris pod. I digress. Dax and Monica are both insuperable people. All they talk about is money. When you have experts on Dax seems to think he knows more! Monica comes out at the fact check! Why are you even fact checking? It was all about fact checking yourselves but you don’t really do that now. Insurable! There is a reason your single Monica! Dax is all about status

  • Dax

    Love that Dax is honest and does not care what people think of him. It's refreshing to listen to a podcast that doesn't seem scripted. Just good conversations. Thanks Dax!

  • Monica, pls just stop it!

    Monica stop asking guests to hang out and be your friend…it’s just so cringy!! These people must be mortified and have no choice but to say yes to be polite.

    Also, Dax’s interview with Tommy Lee was great, except for Monica constantly talking over the guest and saying ‘wow’, ‘ahh’, ‘yeah’ and other nonsense, repeatedly throughout the interview. Just stop this, you are driving listeners away, myself and my friend group included.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Christopher Whitcomb (on the Idaho murders)
Q: What are the major questions Whitcomb thinks the public should still ask?
Questions about chain of custody, the weight of DNA evidence, the reliability of forensic interpretations, and why certain narratives became dominant while large swaths of data remained undisclosed.
Christopher Whitcomb (on the Idaho murders)
Q: What makes this book different from other true crime works?
The book structures each chapter around primary source documents and transcripts, presenting evidence without overt theorizing and inviting readers to draw their own conclusions based on the police reports, interviews, and forensic data.
Christopher Whitcomb (on the Idaho murders)
Q: What happened in the Idaho case and why did the defendant plead guilty?
Whitcomb outlines the prosecution's narrative of four murders with a three-to-five minute timeline, the gag order, the DNA and car evidence, and how a plea could have been influenced by legal strategies and the desire to avoid trial; he treats the plea as not exonerating but as a different chapter in the case.
Eva Benefield (on surviving the Black Swan Murder)
Q: How did Eva first learn about the relationship between her father and Ashley?
Eva describes overhearing conference calls and then discovering that her father and Ashley were dating, which escalated quickly into marriage and a new family dynamic.
Laufey
Q: How did Street by Street symbolize a turning point in your artistry?
The breakup became material for healing and songwriting; the process helped her fuse Great American Songbook language with contemporary pop, guiding her toward a more personal and marketable sound.
