  • Monica is a No for me

    Monica has become unbearable. The arrogance the entitlement and her inability to tolerate Dax’s POV when it doesn’t coincide w her own. He carefully filters his every thought before he dares to speak as though he’s tiptoeing through a minefield. It’s awful. She’s awful. She’s a brat who wants to be the bossiest boss in every room. Unfortunately she doesn’t have the goods to back it up which makes her even more unpalatable. She adds nothing to the podcast beyond constant disruptions w her needles... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rhea Seehorn
Q: Has it been expressed to you if Pluribus is a metaphor for something?
Seehorn says Vince Gilligan wants the show to allow multiple interpretations and that he is exploring personal questions about what it means to be human. She avoids settling on a single explanation and focuses on playing Carol's experience.
Rhea Seehorn
Q: What was your North Star through all those start-stops and setbacks in your acting career?
Seehorn says she never considered giving up acting, though she sometimes worried she would need to take a day job again. She lived frugally and hoped to keep acting, even if she had to do plays only on weekends.
Evan Gershkovich (on surviving a Russian prison)
Q: How did Gershkovich cope with the shame and trauma of imprisonment after returning home?
He sought help from therapists, including a Russian-speaking therapist, and found that writing his memoir helped him process the experience. His girlfriend also reminded him that he had been cynically set up and should stop blaming himself; his post-prison symptoms gradually improved.
Evan Gershkovich (on surviving a Russian prison)
Q: What made the danger of reporting in Russia compelling, even as the risks became more serious?
Gershkovich says he and other correspondents felt drawn to consequential stories and to the action and adrenaline. The sense of mission could combine with ambition and a desire for adventure, and returning to safer places sometimes felt dull by comparison.
Armchair Anonymous: Jail
Q: Was your mother used to you getting in trouble at this point, or was this new?
Erica said it was new because she had never been in trouble before. She was charged with reckless endangerment, completed classes, and the charges were ultimately removed from her record.
