Megan Rapinoe & Sue Bird | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

[@birdiebb3]

I love how Monica has been asking more questions lately! And loved that she stuck up for herself about ABR pre-Dax and then we got that with Cynthia’s episode ❤

[@sharaswitala6296]

Sorry but why is she here?

[@GiaBlinks]

Can I suggest Abby Wambach as a guest? I love the female athlete's perspective of life. Also, Chris Martin from Coldplay. He is just such an open, positive force, of a human being. I'd love to hear his conversation on AE.

[@pegbuckner5074]

Yes!!! Chris Martin!!!! ❤

[@eartht0erika]

I agree!!! Kristen and Monica interviewed her back in 2021 if you want to go back to archives, check it out! 😏 there's a series called We Are Supported By.....

[@GiaBlinks]

@@eartht0erika thanks. That's good to know. I'll check it out.

[@haleyhill3471]

I personally loved learning more about/from Sue and Megan. Wow. They are such incredible forces in their respective sports and in the world. Loved that! Now I wanna listen to their podcast and hyperfixate on them

[@taylernewman398]

I am SOOO happy that they finally got Megan and Sue! I am a huge sports fan of them BOTH and I am a huge armcherry so it was great to see my 2 world collide.

[@jopo7996]

6 gold medals in that room. Impressive!

[@richardbrauccijr9933]

Huge fan, been so since Dax first appeared on Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast before he started Armchair Expert, and love Monica and the dynamic they have together. I find their conversations and debates in the fact check the most important part of the show. With that being said, and I get it, it is their show and they can do, and talk about whatever they want, but I’d being lying if I were to say I wasn’t disappointed in them not including the election portion of their conversation.

[@Arrlidge]

idk, mom and dad arguing sounds not that fun :/

[@richardbrauccijr9933]

@ lol for sure, just feel like if likes the results weren’t what they were, it wouldn’t have been a thing

[@katom711]

Off topic. As a former stylist. Dax always talks about how he hates to dress up, but I'm really loving the long sleeve cream colored tee on him 💕

[@armchairexpertpod]

😁😁😁

[@anagomez290]

I loveeeee being able to see these interviews!!!!!

[@MrEmilycathleen]

Dax saying Megan‘s last name wrong multiple times killed me. It’s literally not hard to google how to say someone’s name

[@jon_conn]

Over an hour of important content, and this is what “killed” you.

[@MrEmilycathleen]

@@jon_conn 😅 I just think it’s an easy thing to say someone’s name correctly. I’m still listening to the episode bc I love Sue and Megan and have been a fan of Sue for many many years. But yeah, Dax is annoying and I found that annoying 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kristiann8122]

No one says LeBron James’s name wrong do they?

[@kristiann8122]

No shade to DAX, but it does kind of further highlight the difference in how we treats athletes versus women’s athletes

[@Shannlee75]

@@MrEmilycathleenshe should have corrected him. That’s on her.

[@casslynn1165]

Loved this!!

[@CBWildcat]

This came up on my feed. I enjoyed it. Thanks for the Escape from Dannemore rec.

[@eartht0erika]

Thank you for recommending English Teacher. Holy cow it's hilarious ❤❤❤❤

[@AnnaDownes-jn9hu]

I love confidence with which he mispronounces Rapinoe

[@jmplumb28]

Studio looks SUPER cozy!!!!

[@lawc23]

Fun interview

[@LHBartley]

Love the show! Love these ladies! Where’s Synced though? Haven’t seen it in a month or so. Missing Liz & Monica together!

[@kristiann8122]

They announced last week that Synced is discontinued 😢

[@armchairexpertpod]

❤❤❤

[@HeatherToliver]

I think Sue Bird is one of the most interesting humans on the planet.

[@mmcgrego51]

Great episode! Escape from Dannemora was amazing (fact check)

[@briannalucialehane]

If you’re ever feeling up to it, we’d love to hear your thoughts/processing of the election.

[@zacharymunson877]

Sad you didn't share your discussion about the election, but I respect your decision. I hope we get another discussion at some point, however. It feels too big and important to not hear something from you two about it. Especially in the spirit of the show - vulnerability, learning, growth, progression, compassion, etc. - the values that are so central to this show and community, and values that also seem so impacted, really stomped on, after this election.

[@MillieMarshall-v4k]

Really interesting perspective on women’s sports! I liked the insight that we should be able to not like something without also trying to destroy it. Re: election, I’m sure we can all fill in the blanks of that convo- it’s a conversation being avoided across the country! Even my husband and I are barely talking about it (and I’m chatty).

[@sharaswitala6296]

You all need to get rid of that big table in the middle.. no room makes everyone uncomfortable

[@LivinNCin]

I’d never heard of this podcast until today, after Sue shared a post about this episode on IG. Went to the post & immediately saw the comments, (which they had shut down which is unfortunate because the feedback was valid). How do you not know how to pronounce an icon’s last name and then on top of that leave the mispronunciation in the episode?!? I mean, it’s Megan Rapinoe!

[@kristiann8122]

I honestly would have liked to hear your takes on the election

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Take a guess.

[@Arrlidge]

Gosh, I relate to the love of wagons and porches (though not in my price range). What I learned having a mini cooper ev (a tiny wagon i guess) is that banging around on a commute or errand is where I like it the most. The way it pops from the stop sign, around the truck and is up to 45 mph in a moment while also being low key, quiet and cooling/heating the car before i get in etc. I would buy that car for to live with for a minute and see because there i think is a place for that bop around vehicle. Had to change brake oil and tires on my ev. Literally nothing else in 72k miles. Not trying to proscelytize, I just relate to what was being expressed in that moment.. Dax do you think the battery on this one might not die while sitting in the yard:?

[@maricalane2242]

Can someone tell me what happened? Been listening since the very beginning but I blinked and now we’re filming in this other area? But only sometimes? And they also film in the attic? I thought I’d heard them say this was also on Dax’s property, maybe the garage ? It really has nothing to do with me 😉but can someone fill me in? I’m so curious!

[@OnlyHuman214]

@maricalane2242 just watched the Christmas episode with Kristen (Bell) and Anna Kendrick. At some point I think it was Kristen that mentioned they were in their garage. They said more so check that out.

[@sabiasiddiqi9845]

Dax!! You are saying Megan’s last name wrong.

[@joytimmerman6185]

I totally respect you not being able to air your conversation about the election. That is real and it’s hard right now. But there are many conversations to be had. Hopefully one day we can get one that isn’t quite as raw and difficult. Thanks for all you do!

[@IdgieLewis]

How to say you don’t know who your guests are without saying it??? Learn how to pronounce your guests names before they come on. Wow. She’s been everywhere for the last 5 years!!

[@armchairexpertpod]

Cynthia Erivo and Dax Shepard talk about the differences in acting in dramas vs comedies, the burdens of doing political roles, and why she picked extensive makeup over CGI for Wicked. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3qqdH9qg8uLprc

[@karisalmon3234]

It drove me nuts he kept saying Megan’s last name wrong.

[@niamoyediallo7665]

I would love to have tobin and christen here ❤️

[@MaggiMcGillivray]

I need Monnie on the cover art, I got scared she wasn’t there 😮😅 or was she there but so tiny little mouse?

[@roBLINDhood]

I could have sworn that I watched Escape from Dannemora because of you guys back in 2018-2019. I thought you had Ben on and were praising his directing skills. Maybe a fact check convo?

[@IdgieLewis]

Wow. The interview got a little better. But you showed your lack of interest again at the end. Asked what there podcast was called and then said you listened all of the time. If you care this little just quit already

[@tamalees93]

Unless there’s some legal reason you can’t, it’ll be super cool if you would tell your listeners where Flightless Bird went. $$$

[@gshelly4036]

I have been checking the podcast since the election. Just waiting for the election conversation. .....

[@keskt]

Why didn’t talking about the election go well? Dax a Trump supporter? 🙄

[@amdavids714]

how about we learn to pronounce your guest’s name correctly?

[@steve.santiago]

Hi Monica 😍

[@armchairexpertpod]

👋👋

[@PeacefulWarrior54321]

It's a bit low class for this show to give airtime to a hate figure like Meghan Rapinoe who imploded what was once a great team into nothingness. This was cringy

[@billbennington4444]

dax is such a closet narcissist.

[@brandonrice7879]

Dax is a washed up actor with no future

[@Jennifer-i3b9q]

I feel bad for Dax. Feels like a square peg in this round hole now. Maybe they should go out while they're on top.

[@cassie270]

Of course only 10 minutes in and Dax has to relate something to himself - so annoying

[@pegbuckner5074]

Seriously??? Guess, you should try a different podcast?? But, you’re still here?! Lol

[@billbennington4444]

im new to the videos so dont crucify me here, but did monica get some botched surgery or did she always look like that?

[@SaraNerys]

Why are you being cruel?

[@katom711]

I usually listen to the entire podcast, but I had to FastForward to the Fact Check because I wanted to hear what you guys had to say about the election now that the episodes have caught up with the results. But you said in all transparency that you guys tried but it didn't go well. Yes, it would have been weird if you guys mysteriously didn't mention it at all. But I can respect your choice not to air it. It was a lot for all of us to process ❤‍🩹

[@RaeTeising-d5i]

I did too! Couldn’t wait to see the response. 😢 that it went so badly they had to skip it. Hope they can talk more later. It is a lot to process!
