Whitney Cummings: Genetics Loads the Gun, Environment Pulls the Trigger

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

This is what it sounds like when two women who each have seriously put in the work share openly and honestly! Absolutely delightful and so educational!

[@catrionamackenzie5460]

Laughed, cried, learned a lot... absolutely loved this podcast. I came here after watching the podcast with Jenette McCurdy and now it's my absolute favourite. It's such a breathe of fresh air to have a podcast with such open-mindedness, hilarity, and intelligence on such difficult (but very relatable) topics. Just absolutely A class.

[@MayimBialik]

LOVE to hear this - thank you for being here, Catriona!! 🧠🫶

[@power721]

Well said

[@Karla-tw1zx]

Thank you so much for this episode. I’ve learned so much from these experiences she shares. I’ve laughed, cried, learned …❤ you guys are amazing. Thank you!

[@m_brokenleg]

The way Whitney talks about being sexually abused in her past & the way she explains how she dealt with it, has left me speechless. As about her manic episode, her addictions to weed and mushrooms. WOW! Admirable! Kudos for her. And to her kid for having such mom!

[@power721]

I related on an awkward level. It happened and it made us who we are today.

[@BarbaraDewey]

I have no idea why people have to use the “sh…” word so freely. It is very offensive and definitely NOT “Community Standards”! Even the Jewish Bible says “Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth.” The same thing applies to the ‘F” word. I do enjoy your programs except for the profanity! 36 except our programs

you can't get addicted to mushrooms, I don't think.

[@stejon1503]

I have no words. This is by far my favorite episode yet! Whitney truly managed to put into words certain things that many of us struggle to believe is even happening at all. I especially related to the part about fantasies. Thank you thank you THANK you, Mayim and Jonathan for inviting people like Whitney and talking about all of these things in a way that actually feels accessible for everyone. 10/10 Thank you❤️

[@pattivergerio4404]

I know. I agree. Such a horrible childhood. No one can understand unless they were there

Whitney doing the baby affirmation was the most heartfelt thing I've seen in a while...great episode!

​@@MayimBialikIsrael and it's diaspora advocated so strongly for homogeneity, walls and strong borders for israel. That's why I find it especially ironic that those who advocated so strongly for open borders, multiculturalism, & diversity for Western Nations are now not only being attacked in israel but are also being so fervently protested against by the middle easterners and others who they actively invited into Western nations.

@@MayimBialik you have worked with the two best looking men in the world Ted(soap) & Joey(gimme a break).

[@michellesillery2098]

This has been my favourite episode to listen to so far. Whitney is so down to earth, self deprecating and really bloody engaging. I could listen to her for hours. I have so much respect for all the work she has done as well. I really loved the vibe between the two of you. It sounded like two friends just having a chat and was so interesting to listen too. I absolutely loved Jonathon’s idea about breaking the ancestral trauma. What a sweetheart. I love him. Excellent episode, much love to you all xx

[@coastuncle1965]

Such a well done show. Mayim is an asset and a blessing to the Hollywood community.

[@pattivergerio4404]

Mayim is an awesome saint❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@fannythailed09]

This has been by far my favorite episode, the way whitney and mayim just flow with the conversations is just very engaging.. I could have listen to another 3 hours of this, she needs to come back for sure!

[@melissaelliott2966]

I feel like she brought out a sillier side to Mayim. It was great ❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@kal2487]

I really love the discussion about escaping reality through fantasy, which is my addiction of choice. I've never heard anyone else talk about it. I'm also highly creative.But the dissociation/delusion is the downside. Thanks for sharing! ❤❤

[@pattivergerio4404]

Amen. Escaping into your own world. And disassociating. And the manic episodes. And the drive to survive

[@deniselindquist7592]

So glad I have a name for what I have done through most of my life. Fantasy. I was addicted and being a part of a family. To being important. It's odd that I have never had a therapist I have felt open to speaking about personal things with. I have only seen psychiatrists because of my severe depression. I have been accustomed to believing that medicating is the only way to keep me stable. Intellectually I know that is not right, but here I am. Thanks for having Whitney on your podcast, and for you. You have a wonderful insight on how to direct a conversation.

[@lyndsaybrown8471]

Just as long as it doesn't reach maladaptive daydreaming levels.

[@TheStefiKaye]

I LOOOOOOVED this episode! Two of my favorite brilliant, strong and courageous women making room for, appreciating and celebrating each other without trying to one up the other!! I think they found their person!!!

[@bauhausprincess]

This was definitely a favorite. I don't think I have ever laughed just as much as with this episode, cried a little and found so much informations on... all the things. Such a wholesome episode, thank you so much. That was a perfect trio.

[@hp6964]

I think this is my favorite Whitney interview for sure!!! I hope more people end up seeing it. I’m sure she’ll be an amazing mom with this level of awareness ❤️, I identify a lot with her fears of having kids and everything

[@orland0110]

It is so awesome that you have Whitney Cummings on this episode. I absolutely love this podcast Mayim! ❤

[@deborahjaffe]

How did you know my story 200%! Wow!!! Thank you all!!! It is so good to talk about this. It's the only way to get better.

[@Shakibing]

This may be one of my favorite episodes. The chemistry between Mayim and Whitney is just excellent.

[@katielittle4491]

I’ve wanted this episode for sooo long! Every time I watch MBB I think “man I wish she’d have Whitney Cummings on!” And everytime I watch G4U I think “man I wish she’d have Mayim Bialik on!” And let me tell you… it did not disappoint!!!!! (And I’m only an hour in!) probably one or your best episodes to date! Thank both of you ladies so much for the work that you do and the interesting conversations you have!!!

[@francocastro5378]

Amazing!!! One of my favorite episodes. No filters, just a plain, great conversation. Love how playful and open Mayim in this interview!! Jonathan, you rock!

[@sicksadworld6221]

"Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger." So true 😔.

[@HH-gv8mx]

I remember they taught us that in psychology 101. Quite sure it was on one of my tests.

[@AuntMoney]

Mind blown!

[@AndrewMilesMurphy]

it's all made-up. it's not even a good conversation, science can't even be by science's own definitions. Schroedinger's genetics, more like. You can't even tell me what position and spin an electron have, simultaneously. It's like, if you know the cat is running, you can't tell me where. If you know where the cat is, you can't tell me how (is it running, sleeping, etc.) This means that science cannot even do what it is supposed to do (observe the world and make predictions). It's as if someone, from above, is deciding that you cannot observe the universe. You cannot make good on what you see. And genetics is a conversation that fails again and again to have any meaning. Beyond immediate medical uses (which are monetized to the point where you can see that 99.99999 percent of people aren't even human. Why shouldn't AI be given access to every medical journal), it only serves to confuse people into thinking in some bizarre evolutionary frame of mind. But we exist as consciousnesses, we feel, and we observe things around us that just don't add up. Our own good will fails to overpower this narrative. Environment is the horrible ways people treat themselves, others, and us, with very little good to be spoken of.

[@Video-wi9cv]

I loooooved this podcast. I related so much to Whitney. Jonathan I almost cried when you told Whitney to tell her baby they are loved and wanted. This is definatly what I'm going to tell my future children and my baby angles.

[@angelwolfe6728]

Two of my favorite people together! This was a joy to listen to ❤ love Jonathan’s suggestion of beginning to bond with baby! I was alone during a pregnancy and found it hard to keep my mind straight. What helped me so much was talking to baby and beginning the bonding between us during such a scary and lonely time! I know she’s going to be a great mom.

[@nature_erica]

this was a great episode! 👏🙌 whitney really brought out mayim’s comedic skills, had a lot of great energy and laughs even while discussing serious issues, loved it.

[@mimmycal]

Inner work for the adult child is so important. I began in 1986 and was able to heal from a serious neurological disease and later remove myself from a marraige The was not working. It’s a great way to get to know yourself. It does take time, humility, reaching out and going deep.❤️🦋 she’s still in process as was I until I my mid-50s. Thank you for the rawness and the ability to let her do her thing.xoxo

[@ChessieChess]

Thank you, and thank you Whitney for sharing your ACA experience with is. That program has completely changed my life

[@kimstrandberg9529]

“So in the head that the body doesn’t always follow.” That’s so insightful and intuned. I hope there are more Jonathan’s out there? “If it’s hysterical it’s historical” - what nuggets!! Thank you Whitney! As an exceptionally fast talker myself, and someone that has spent a ridiculous amount of time living in my own head for 50 years - talking to myself and having conversations out loud, cutting my own self off at times, interrupting myself to change tack to add something for context, continuously….. yeah I really appreciated your style. You talk the exact same way that my brain works. ❤

[@dianallamas7135]

That was beautiful. Especially the positive affirmation and wow, I applaud her being present and say, "im not going to make a joke or be silly" because Whitney was feeling something so good and so pure. She experienced Joy and qay to go Jonathan!!!! I've always liked Whitney and she's always been herself and no one else. Im rooting for you Whitney!!! Yaaaay❤❤❤

[@davegarski1548]

Whitney is just the most fascinating woman. I learn so much from her.

[@bronwynhodgkinson3534]

This has been so helpful. My whole life, I was told to go to AL ANON and didn't and my aunt who is a lot more like my mother than she'd like to admit recently told me to go to ACA and that it helped her. In October 2023 I got sober from weed and tobacco and am currently 18 weeks pregnant. I needed this podcast.❤ thanks all a yas!

[@ΚάποιοςΑγνωστος-χ1ξ]

I’m glad that Whitney has the language to express all that. It’s very powerful. Just recently I too discovered that everything about my artistic nature stemmed from disassociation and it really broke me. I'm really grateful to hear about other people’s experiences, views and how they are dealing with it.

Y'all are so friggin cute together, feel free to make a sitcom together cause I'm sure it would be magic!

Whitney has been making all the podcast rounds lately. I think I’ve seen her on 6 podcasts and late night talk shows in the last couple weeks . I don’t know how she has the energy

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

Excellent podcast! I got a lot out of this-- I heard what I needed to hear. One of the smartest things Whitney said was that she was trying to avoid flooding her body (and her developing child) with adrenaline and cortisol. That makes a LOT of sense. Love y'all, The Old Hippiebilly in Tennessee ❤✌ ❤✌ ❤✌

Johnathan, that was beautiful about the baby and the positive affirmations spoken over the baby! Beautiful!

[@kittensugars]

What a beautiful, and helpful show! 😊So many relatable things. I learned about myself, my issues and how to begin to fix them while spending a week in a "behavioral health unit" soon after my Mother died. I learned how the brain works, and that entire new, happier pathways can be created in my brain, with some work on my part.

[@deadbird1229]

This is a gem of an episode-very deep conversations and analysis, but hilarious moments in equal measure. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Mayim laugh as hard (or as much) during an episode as she did here. This was a pure joy to watch

[@Balissabalissa]

I subscribe to both of your podcasts and have watched every episode of each, so this is crazy to see you both together! It’s so cool, and I love seeing what Mayim’s questions for Whitney and seeing Whitney become the interviewee instead of the interviewer. Can’t wait to watch!

[@danaw23]

My favorite part of this episode was everything! I’ve loved Mayim for a while now and now I love Whitney. Thank you both for your honesty, openness, and humor. I’ll definitely watch this again. And probably again. There’s so much content I needed to hear. ❤

[@marisamartinezolivera]

Two intelligent, funny and articulated women in coversation? As someone once said the devil will sit..and learn! And I with him! That’s what this episode is for me! And if you even add Jonathan’s insights..then it’s a pure gem! 💎 Btw, I was given only one very intense son and two very little but intense grandsons..Boys. Nots girls. I think as Mayim that probably God or Nature has given me not more than what I was able to deal with..😅

Not trying to be over dramatic here but I just can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear people sit down and just be open and honest and vulnerable. This was fantastic episode that actually helped me understand some of my childhood trauma. Nice Work to all involved!!!

Gfu podcast. Whitney Cummings talks about this stuff in almost every podcast,so you might enjoy it if you are into hearing a lot of aca and coda speak.

This is one of my top favorite episode! it is so fun watching you! i feel like im sitting there and listening to all of you! 😁 There is so much to learn in this new episode! ❤️ One of my favorite part in this episode was about labeling. Im also like that, i like someone who also does that 😂 I agree with you guys about the trauma that associates with "sexual abuse". After watching this, I feel like I can talk about it a little bit since maybe someone else has gone through some uncomfortable situation. Truthfully, I endured years of suffering in quiet about my circumstances. I grew up without my mother by my side, and also im not that close to my father, so this traumatic experiences in my life happened. My three friends' fathers treated me badly, but I said nothing about it. I believe it all happened in my 4th or 5th grade, but I'm positive it was during my elementary school years. The 1st one, when I went to my friend's house, her father patted my b*tt when my friend went to kitchen. The 2nd one, he gave me a kiss on the lips before handing me the borrowed PSP when my friend was in the bathroom. The 3rd one, her father held my hand and i was shocked. I'm unable to escape. My feet went cold. Up until today, no one has been aware of this. I wasn't sure what to do at the time since, if I told anyone, I imagine they would stop letting me play with their children. I'm afraid of losing my friends because I only have 7 of them, and not all of them are free to play with me. I just wanted to share some of my traumatic experiences in my life. Thank you for the new episode MBB Team! its really great and fun 😊

[@bodytrainer1crane730]

I cried when Whitney said, "Little Buddy, you are loved." ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I relate so much to isolating from other parents because of my inability to tolerate other parents bad behaviors. Being Vegan compounds that because so many nonvegans get defensive once they find out we are Vegan. My girls have had several disappointing interactions trying to make friends too. I really feel for them. We don't have a Vegan community very close. 🤷♥️

[@holliehilton3224]

Mayim! Love this podcast! I get that you may not read comments…I just wanted to say I used to watch your other KZbin channel all the time…and remember the very first episode of Blossom. This is a weird request, but I heard you mention your early menopause on Justine Bateman’s interview. Do you mind talking about that on one of your podcasts? I was put into surgical menopause after a botched fibroid surgery, and my life (and hormones) have not been the same. Would love to hear your perspective on The Pause-I’m sure you could make it sound positive!

This is the pod I’ve been waiting to see Whitney on. Love you both❣️

[@josiahdonald4325]

This is an incredible conversation thank you both of u

[@yveqeshy]

So many nuggets here, I really appreciate Whitney's definition of codependency as being an inability to tolerate the discomfort that comes up in you when you see other's in discomfort. I can't tell you how this rings true to me. As someone recovering from chronic people pleasing and parentification, I am now getting more into the habit of reminding myself every time I feel the need to caretake that they will be fine, i don't have to jump in save people because that self- abandonment. This goes also means getting away from my habits of dating people I feel I have to rescue, another form of self abandonment. The more I understand about codependency, the more I am convinced it is the worst coping tool/ adaptive behaviour we come out with from complex trauma, it is so insidious, destroys ones sense of self, shutters your self esteem, you're literally existing as a husk.

Johnathon, I love you!! I feel Whitney will talk a little slower and calm down a bit when the baby comes.
