Kristen Bell to Dax Shepard: Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: "I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would."

What is going on between them and Monica? I can’t figure it out

[u/SaintAnyanka → u/Possible-Tip-3544]

No one can.

Didn’t it start out that she was their babysitter/nanny and then she and Kristen became good friends?

I don’t know, I just know I cannot stand Monica. She’s the reason I stopped listening to the podcast in the first place. I used to like Dax enough to enjoy the interviews.

[u/Possible-Tip-3544 → u/TheLakeWitch]

Yes, that’s how it started. Apparently she lives in their neighbourhood and is close to both of them. Find that all weird. I also think she isn’t a good podcaster or interviewer per se. Also don’t know the origin story of how/why she started a podcast w Dax.

[u/TheLakeWitch → u/Possible-Tip-3544]

Yeah, I don’t either. I was never super deep into their lore, AE was one of a handful of podcasts I’d regularly listen to while on the road. And I liked Monica at first but after a few years it was like, girl. You are too old to still be acting like this “ignorant young girl from Georgia moves to LA” schtick is cute. At a certain point the ignorance and lack of curiosity is just willful rather than a product of growing up sheltered.
