One thing I love about Dax is his ability to say "I don't know what that means." That's a real man right there.

[@innovativeatavist159]

@MorbidManMusic I don't think I would've done anything differently, were I in his place. He was kind of backed into a corner, whole lot of pressure on him to keep things as is.

[@pipicacadanslepot]

It has nothing to do with being a man but I do like that if he doesn't know what something is ha asks about it

[@stupidtreehugger]

What a slag. Have big teeth, will talk as if I have something worth hearing

[@wunderland1]

Agreed!! The opposite of mansplaining = men ASKING

[@stupidtreehugger]

Wait. What sort of thingy do you have??

[@Rockenstein68]

I’m actually learning a lot about myself from these podcasts. Whitney over analyzes everything, but it’s so interesting to see how she processes info.

[@elysia..]

She's incredibly smart, yo. Peep the name of her podcast lol

[@Stephanie-rf2qp]

@Picolas Cage youre not paying attention at all if thats what you get from this podcast. explaining how your parents affected you isn't deflecting accountability. thats why she talks about going to all these meetings and helping herself change

Whitney you're absolutely killing it, this was the best podcast yet (and Dax is incredible)

[@RationallyMe]

This is so true! I actually messaged Whitney on Twitter about the greatness of this episode--- and I never message celebs. Also, I never knew Dax Shephard was interested before this. He has gained a new fan in me.

[@MargieB]

I deff appreciated this episode. 2 very adult adults having a really effective chat

[@loramm7]

I especially loved the Red Flags topic!! So interesting!

Whitney and Dax need to make a vocabulary show, they're both so articulate and have a vast love for words...imo

[@michaelmcloghlin1169]

[@Dirtbiker463]

Dax is the first person in existence to use “boxed water is better” as a dip spit cup

[@dyers1210]

A carton in general. I never used a tea carton but a water bottle/sodabottle...the carton seems weird.

[@elysia..]

Spitting into somethin clear is disgusting. He was having respect for Whit and the viewers lol

[@alysssa1122]

oh my god i thought he was taking the smallest sips of water....even after he opened the dip can

[@cirecomputers]

Hillarious!

I never wanted this podcast to end. Two of my favorite people talking about honest things!

[@evildoesnotsleep-x2b]

whitney you're killing it! dax is such a great guest. vert emotionally intelligent, funny and honest

[@meredithispunk]

The kind of emotional openness and authenticity these guys always show makes their podcasts so special ❤️

[@caleconrad2332]

love that. "I" statements instead of "You" statements. Taking responsibility for our feelings! Being RESPONSE-ABLE to our feelings. I really enjoyed this for more than one reason! Thanks guys!

[@caleconrad2332]

@Picolas Cage I think she is only 30 or so, I'm not sure that was what she was saying. I think she was just saying that her childhood affected her into her adulthood, any wounds she gained from her parents and didn't get a chance to heal from she just coped in negative ways. I think she has taken responsibility because she willingly put her self in therapy. She had to say to her self "I need help" before doing so. That's just my take.

[@grave3013]

Dax is one of my favorite guests so far. The dude’s hilarious and his work is great. These two made great conversation.

[@Kaitescampaign]

Something about Dax man, love him and his openness.

[@johana0329]

Omg same... I love how open and honest he is and that he can say “I don’t understand, explain that” looooove him

[@joshuahcraig7585]

I love Whitney's podcast + therapy vibe. Even her advertisement plugs are funny :) 2.5 hours felt like 45 minutes.

[@jayk2998]

Awesome to see this level of personal insight, honesty and communication about relationship issues. Wish more people worked on their personal growth like Whitney and Dax. It would be time well spent during quarantine. I would choose Whitney Cummings over Scarlett Johansson any day!

[@stevesinz156]

I came here to tell Whitney, that this podcast episode was the best i have listened to, so far (i listen to a lot of her episodes) I can’t believe she said she was worried and conscious about making it. It was absolutely amazing. I am happy i opened it here, to see that lots of other people consider this episode as pure gold!

[@LacyDM]

This was my favorite episode yet! It almost felt like I was in therapy as well, listening to people who are very open and aware of feelings in general. Very open and understanding how people might feel. It helped me think internally about how I am feeling. With an 8 month pregnant wife, a young kid, and this quarantine, as a family we are down in the dumps sometimes. But allowing myself to feel my feelings helped just recognize that I was justified in feeling this way, but need to try to rectify the situation and help get my wife to the finish line while not neglecting my kid as he is going through the gambit with us. Thank you both!

[@samson3000]

I am already a fan of Dax, having listened to his and Monica's podcast for two years, so I enjoyed this interview. But, honestly, the best part of this presentation for me was the fact that the quarantine format meant that Whitney's image was on screen almost the whole time. And that is a good thing because I find Whitney to be so beautiful that I could look at her all day and never grow tired of her face.

[@i.e.presents638]

samson3000 Note to the future editor of Good for You, AC (After Covid), please give us as much of that face of hers as possible

[@greenwizardneedsfood8852]

This has been the most good for you episode of Good For You yet.

[@elysia..]

Do yourself a favor and watch her stand-up, and also her show Whitney. You're welcome ♡

[@elysia..]

Also, "The Female Brain" on Hulu.

[@elysia..]

2 Broke Girls is hers. She's a fucking genius, dude.

[@jeshargreaves]

Absolutely loved this episode!! I thoroughly enjoyed how open, aware and easy it was to establish engaging dialogue about their love languages, addictive qualities, the give and take between relationships with partners and with themselves. Made me think a lot about my current situation. How I should start focusing on ways to better suit my relationship with my partner and my own mental health and wiring. For sure want a sequel episode. Killed it like always Whitney (and Dax)!

[@nancilane5069]

Dax is an amazing person. I love so much what he just said about money. I've listened to his podcast since day 1 and he's been such a source of wisdom for me (a big part of it may be because I'm in recovery too). Whitney's wonderful too!

[@leob4403]

He has a networth of $40 million, so too bad he doesn't wan't to be friends with us poor plebs, it's the american way I guess, once you get rich just piss on those less fortunate, because what the hell is $40 million anyway pocket change! You need atleast $800 million like paul mccartney to be comfortable clearly

[@asarielwoods]

This has been such an oddly emotional, protective podcast Whitney and Dax, thank you.

[@robbt-jm2ws]

I related so much to both of your stories. Codependent child of alcoholic and turned into an addict. Thnx for talking about these things. ❤

[@hariparanoid]

Can't believe I listened to a two and a half hour podcast. It was awesome seeing both of you so honest and vulnerable about your struggles.

[@hotmessjess4174]

Whitney you are absolutely gorgeous with your hair that length and I never like it when people with gorgeous long hair cut it but that is just so perfect for you, you interviewing skills have improved so much with just confidence it seems and you and dax both had me tearing up laughing and relating way too much 😆

[@gorkmusic]

2 and a half hours of comedians therapizing each other is my new favorite thing.

[@monkeyloven]

Excellent and knowledgable interview! By far one of the BEST.

[@nickymay12345]

I completely forgot this was over video the interview was so seamless, definitely the least awkward video interview/podcast. Also really funny and I felt like I was at therapy love them

[@caroline2978]

I've realized too how important it is to recognize that your perception of your significant other's actions aren't always indicative of their feelings or intentions. And to be aware of the fact that their reaction to your actions isn't always indicative of who they are as a person, or how they feel about you overall. It can be so hard not to jump to conclusions, even when you're aware of the reality, but that's why communication is so essential.

[@KseniaStar]

this made my day. and I hope some positivity will shine here

Just want to make a note that this is probably the best episode you've ever done and i don't think it's just because I adore Dax.

[@sogiki]

Dax needs to give Whitney the name of his therapist. He seems to have gained the tools to fix his life and Whitney has gained the tools to analyze herself into circles.

[@steveewunder]

This video quality has made me more worried about dax's sobriety than any armchair expert episode ever has

[@georgelopez9872]

15 mins in what Dax said about being 6’2 and speaking with the same passion as another person, and being treated different because you’re a large man spoke to me! Totally agree with that. People think I’m raging but I’m just mirroring the same energy another person is giving me and I’m not going to attack you.

[@MoonsEssentials]

I love youtube brought you up. Yes it is emotionally exhausting for the ones who love the addicts? That's why theres programs like al-anon. You don't have to be a drug or alcohol addict to need the steps. Addictions come in many forms & the basic requirement to be sober is a wish to be healthy & not give up. I love that your doin this mama. Keep this up. Xoxoxo

[@cyndis6357]

The fact that she said she doesn't like cutting people off... 🤣🤣🤣

[@tinaa140]

This is the group therapy session I didn't know I needed 😅 I love it. Also, regarding the importance of intuition... I just read this quote in the book Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft, "Research indicates that a woman's intuitive sense of whether or not her partner will be violent toward her is a substantially more accurate predictor of future violence than any other warning sign."

[@Schweigardt]

I don't know why, hmm, but I would really like to see Whitney interview Laura Prepon

[@LeLehsmami]

Good choice, love that as an idea!!... I think that your thought it might've came at least from her role in "Orange is the New Black" the black hair, they have like a resemblance with the eyebrows and facial structure.. But nonetheless it would be a kick-ass interview Laura Prepon is a good actress and I'm sure she has an interesting past.

[@Schweigardt]

@Courtney Conniff... I don't know if it's how Laura talks or her mannerisms or timing even going back to that 70s show, but it would be cool to see these two sitting across from other talking about the directions they both took and whether either one could have swapped lives
