Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Hey Monica and Dax, I have no idea how else I’d get in touch with you about this Dax so decided to leave a review, which I know you read because you actually mentioned one of mine from one of the synced reviews I put in. I am a plant manager of a high speed aseptic beverage manufacturer on the east coast and have been in manufacturing my entire career. I love the message, values, and passion you have for Ted Seger’s. If there’s ever any questions you have or if I could help in getting you connections (if you don’t have them already) for the production of your brand further please reach out! I’d love to help this cause in any way that I could! Thanks for all you guys do.

I’ve always loved the banter between the two of you but don’t introduce Monica’s factcheck and then argue everything she says or somehow find a way to turn the conversation to you. This has been the last good majority of fact checks now and it’s getting a little tiring. It doesn’t even sound like Dax has his own opinion, more so just has to argue for the sake of arguing. If it felt organic it’d be one thing but lately it just feels old and tiring.

This is my favorite podcast! I love Dax’s perspectives on trauma and it gives me so much hope that these convos can be more open! I also love Monica and am so glad she’s on the show. I’ll always rate it 5 stars but Dax, lighten up on Monica in the fact checks 🩷

From fact check: Dax’s support of Joe rogan as “comedian” first and saying that people judge him on his 15 controversial guest was UNHINGED. He spouts conspiracy theories and PLATFORMS bigots, racists and LIARS. He’s not a journalist so he’s PLATFORMING hate. You can’t judge him based on that?? This show has changed a lot since it became successful and it’s much worse on Wondery now. Listening to Dax be so center-right and “both sided” on every issue has become intolerable. His “empathy” has turned into excuses for people that do terrible things. How he still brings up Ashton and Brad Pitt ALL the time when they are two extremely gross men who have done awful things is beyond me. Monica does not contribute to the interviews in any meaningful way and is insufferable in the fact checks. And if she still edits the show, it’s not good. Why can we all tell that it’s so heavily edited after all these years. Sadly complete thumbs down.
