I was dreading listening to the episode where Dax danced for a male musical guest.

I knew it was coming because I skipped the episode and heard about it on the next episode fact check.

I hated it so much. I so felt Monica’s pain. I disassociated.

I cannot conceive of watching this in person. I could not watch the video. I want to always keep my crush on Dax, and watching this would have absolutely ruined it for me.

All of that said, I laughed so hard and I really loved it as much as I hated it. Dax is so weird and I love someone who just leans into their weird. Jack was SO freaking gracious and I loved how much he leaned into someone else’s weird.

Happy Tuesday, you Armcherries! Keep it weird!

UPDATE: I WATCHED THE VIDEO.

The cringe was so much more manageable than expected. I hate to admit how much I actually enjoyed it. I am happy to report my crush is still intact.

Anyone saying Monica was over the top, made it about her, or otherwise criticizing her for her reaction to this experience should take a hike.

wtf are they thinking. Truly.

Just curious… has Dax ever explained why he seems so oddly fascinated with the topic of unplanned evacuations? I’m not coming from a place of criticism at all — I’m a relatively new listener — but I’ve noticed he somehow finds ways to bring it into a conversations even when it’s completely unrelated to the topic at hand. It almost feels like a running fixation or recurring bit at this point. But why?

Noah is so vulnerable. I think they’d call him a best boy

My brain automatically goes here now thanks to u/armchairexpert. I fear my sense of humor has become that of a 10-year-old boy.

Perhaps a contentious post, but; Does anyone else think it was really out of touch that Dax wrote off his mom’s distrust in the government as age related? Like, I’m sorry but what?! Feels like he’s needing to read the room/state of the country at the moment.

What is the name of the song played at the end of the interview?

Hi! I’m taking the fam to universal studios in a couple of weeks.

We have a day and a half of free time.

Two boys - 9 and 5.

If anyone has memory or collection of all the amazing places to eat and get coffee Monica/Dax have mentioned that would be so appreciated.

Universal is not far from the Los Feliz area.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all! My fiancé and I are moving to Atlanta and here to look at apartments currently. Could my Armcherries with good memories drop in the comments Monica’s recs in/near Atlanta for food/fun things? I don’t have time to search myself so anything anyone can remember is good! Personal recs welcome as well!! TIA
