I've seen Dax speak in a lot of interviews, so that part was normal. But hearing Monica's voice and actually seeing it come out of her was so weird for a second. Like, her voice is not just a disembodied voice in my headphones. It has a physical location, and it really messed with my brain for a second 😂

[@Madapple314]

Hahaha I feel the exact the same way. I was like... that's not Monica

[@angeljones4441]

Exactly! 😂

They also call her Miniature Mouse, which is really cute

[@kujessie06]

I'm a die hard arm cherry and it's awesome to see Monica and to see yalls stars rising. Your podcast is informative like so many but it's also happy and open minded and deep and in my opinion that sets it apart from all the others.

Dax is a smart man. He low-key denied the Throuple rumors without giving it any life at all.

[@lukenaoumovitch4477]

It’s so satisfying seeing a couple like Dax and Kristen be so secure in their marriage that Dax can make jokes like this. You can tell they have a very fun happy marriage 😊

[@oui-nonmaybe2127]

@Luke Naoumovitch Honey Bunny, I think what you said about Dax and Kristen s marriage, is just imagined hope really. Imagined assumptions . No one can tell what truly goes on behind the closed doors of a couple or any house for sure. I think Dax is having a mid life Crisis and is dipping it somewhere else. He openly admits being bisexual, right? You can tell he REALLY overcompensates for have been Mr Mom all these years. See, I'm just assuming here :) Haven't got a clue for real. Take care Luke~

[@jakestroll6518]

He seems passive aggressive towards her if you ask me. Plus aren't they always talking about how they have to be in couples therapy all the time. Also, this Monica throuple thing is weird as hell.

It’s cool to see Monica. I also like how Dax has made her a co-host. That’s cool.

[@jasobres]

So weird seeing Dax and Monica in person, because I'm an avid Armchairy and they look absolutely nothing like they sound. But that should be expected with podcast and radio personalities.

I'm honestly shocked Padman has never dated anyone seriously before. She's a catch! She's got the looks, great personality, charming, funny, and so witty!

[@jcrocks6698]

From hearing Monica and Jess Love Boys, I think that there is some serious insecurity and internalized racism from childhood. She may also be a demi-sexual. But I agree. Girl, put yourself out there! You are talented and gorgeous!

[@voteyourconscience5080]

She's more than likely having an affair w Dax. Maybe the three of them. Hollywood is disgusting

[@snoozyq9576]

@MANIK lol I would care if there was an affair because I like Kristen a lot but I don't think that there is 😅

[@jalabi99]

So you're saying she's single and that I have a chance? YES _slides into Monica's DMs_

[@MisterMooster]

@@voteyourconscience5080 It's clear from how they interact that this is not happening and has not happened- there are a lot of crazy things in hollywood which are often unhealthy ways to live, but i do belieev that this situation is as they have said. MOnice should find a partner for herself though- she has it all- great looks, great personality, and great style.

1st off, Monica is Adorable- 2nd, that Tiger Dress is excellent- 3rd, Monica is SO Comfortable in front of an audience, she just swooped in and overshadowed Dax (in a good way)- it's one thing to be good on a podcast, even with famous interviews, but on a stage, with an audience, Monica was super-chill

[@user-df4wr7qp2d]

their relationship is actually really healthy.

[@agnostic1247]

Dude had a major hand injury, but has to carry the stigma of destroying 16 years of sobriety… I mean, why make a person feel like they’ve failed for being injured and require medication if they return to sobriety when healed? I say the clock should stop and restart as long as you keep clean again. This must be tremendously difficult.

[@ginadelsasso288]

He admitted to abusing again after his hand was healed. Thankfully he has a supportive wife and family and was able to get him help before he spiralled out of control. He shouldnt be so hard on himself though. Being in actual pain and you do need to take painkillers, its almost a given you will have a relapse. I would call this a mulligan, how about you?

[@Seriouslydave]

Yeah he was on a break.

[@Autumn_Sunrise]

@@ginadelsasso288 Agreed. I’m about 10 years sober from painkillers, and I never counted the few times I needed painkillers for surgery. Even if I took them for a week or two longer than I was suppose too, I’m not starting over my time because of that lol. I also don’t subscribe to NA though, I know it’s helped people but the cult like mentality of it creeps me out. But yeah, Dax still has 16 years under his belt. A short relapse doesn’t erase that and shouldn’t erase that. I would call that a small hiccup.

[@joshua_forrest]

That's not how it went down though, he has admitted on his podcast to abusing them after that incident.

Took a min to adjust to seeing/hearing you in this format but very quickly it felt like the same natural dynamic we are always used to with you guys. I love how Dax kept looking over to check on you. He seemed more nervous for you than you were! :D SO happy you are getting your time in the spotlight.
