Disrespectfully

First ignore all of these 1 star reviews about politics. Keep talking putting people in the basement who want to strip others of their rights. You’re fine without listeners who don’t think women deserve reproductive freedoms. I generally love this podcast and look forward to listening every week. Katie is an icon. But for the last month or so Dayna is stressing me out. She’s talking a million miles a minute and jumping topics mid sentence in a way that’s impossible to follow like my mom in a manic breakdown lol.

What started as a beautiful hangout of friends and sharing of anecdotes that everyone can share in and relate to became an echo chamber of POLITICAL opinions without TOLERANCE, curiosity or openness to DIFFERENCES (which really should exist within us all). Making everything about who is “only right” or “only wrong” always is INSANE. Insisting that all views should be identical with no nuance (when human beings are born different and live different lives) describes a cult more than a light, smart, relatable, inspiring, fun, honest, funny and authentic podcast where people come TOGETHER. The issue IS NOT that the personal opinions of the individuals on this podcast are not identical to our own personal opinions. Why can’t we all respect each others choice (our right) to disagree without forcing long diatribes or vilification of those with a different perspective (especially on a podcast not advertised to be or classified as POLITICAL)? Although it may not fit a black and white narrative of “us vs. them,” in reality many have specific differences in interpretation and opinion that are not affecting the rights of others or causing harm to others. Imagine that. How would one be able to assert themselves as morally superior if this were possible? How uncomfortable for the ego. This approach is not only convenient and self soothing, but narcissistic. This “all or nothing” thinking comes across as lacking critical thinking and as ignorant. I am not writing here to let the world know that I am completely right and all my views are always 100% right all the time and that anyone with a different perspective in any way is wrong, stupid or evil. I am simply asking individuals such as yourselves to stop doing so.

As an OG Vanderpump watcher I was super excited to hear Katie was working on a new podcast with Dayna. Like others have said, please keep talking about whatever it is you two want to talk about, politics included! :)

Thanks for adding another day! Love the raw, honest and authentic nature of your friendship. Ten stars for coverage of the news that matters, such as the 8yo who went ROGUE on her trip to Target 🖤💀🖤
