At the top of the show, Lynette describes a home improvement project she is working on which will allow her to have her own private space in the house. She then talks about an argument she got into with Adam over painting the room, and Stefanie relates with an argument she’s been having with her spouse as well. The girls agree that it’s important to be open with each other about what is bothering them.
Lynette then brings up a clip from Dr. Phil where a grown man with infantilism shows the cameras his bizarre lifestyle. The girls can’t get over what type of woman would want to date a guy like that, and also discuss another news story where a mom publicly humiliated her hoodlum son. As the show wraps up, the girls discuss their kids’ abandonment issues.

I really wish you guys could do the show daily! I am sitting here listening to you and I am able to decompress because I honest to God think that Stephanie husband and mine are the same. I picked up OT at work and had to go in early had to depend on my husband to get our son to school on time for about two weeks. EVERY SINGLE morning I reminded him 367 times because I know he over sleeps and not even 5 days in I picked my son up from school and he told me that he had to be walked into the school and signed in because he got to school an hour late! I went bananas I was soo pissed its so true when you want something done you have to do it yourself! Love him though!
I have the same complaints about my husband. It is nice to hear that I am not alone!
Even though my husband is not an “always late” guy he IS a “just barely on time” guy, and I have to admit he does always make it on time. Once he literally made it to the theater for a play our son was in the VERY second it started…found me in a dark theater and slid quietly next to me. I did not believe it! Anyway, when I tell him where we have to be or when he has to be somewhere, I usually give him a start time of 15-30 minutes earlier than it is. Because yes, like Stephanie, sometimes there is a need to be somewhere EARLY! Saves a lot of bickering in the end.
You guys TOTALLY missed the ball on the alicyn argument….listen to his rant again. He had 3 main points:
1. Stop with the screwy spellings.
2. If you’re his assistant and some girl has a screwy spelling- help a guy out and spell it phonetically so he can reach the proper person especially at 6:30 in the morning.
and the point you ALL missed:
3. If a guy calls in to do a radio appearance and asks for ali-sign and you have some knucklehead who spells her name a-l-i-c-y-n…DO THE MATH and transfer the call. Surely he’s not the first one to call looking for ali-sign…and any person with two brain cells to rub together who works with alicyn should be able to make that connection.
The reason Adam, and others like him, had trouble with the name, is most likely because he’s at a level of reading that is lower than others. Maybe not a 3rd grader, but the same idea, where he’s struggling over sounding out words, instead of just reading and “doing the math” on the sounding out of the word/name. (Gee, talk about not doing the math, Adam.)
C’mon, Gary, don’t call it “Hostful,” that’s a ripoff of the guest-free Nerdist podcasts.

Mike I know it is – I’m a huge Nerdist fan and I’m using it as an homage
Heh! I caught that too, nice touch.
Listening to Lynette does give me a greater appreciation for aceman’s podcast. It is funny to listen to the whole “AlliSCENE” discussion after hearing it from Adam’s perspective. Keep up the good work Lynette.
The one thing you guys need to do better is set up a clip or set up a story. Lynette you have the habit of jumping into a clip or story as if the listeners already know what you are talking about. Ironically this is the stuff that Adam has been ranting about retarded loveline callers that talk as if you know the full context of what the caller is referring to.
Great show ladies, I really enjoy the podcast. The candy by the decade suggestion is perfect for Valentine’s day. Thanks.
LOVE the show and I totally relate to Stephanie’s argument with her husband. On Wednesdays my husband has the responsibility of taking our daughter to gymnastics which starts at 6pm. And EVERY Wednesday he rolls up in the driveway no earlier than 5:50pm COMPLAINING about traffic. Why doesn’t he just leave 15 minutes earlier? I’ll never figure it out.
Great show and keep up the good work!
Why did you guys decide not to post my feedback about drops? That makes me feel you guys do not listen or care about listener feedback. In case you decide to allow this post to make it to the website – please ladies – stop making numerous references about drops, waiting for a drop, creating a drop or producing a drop. Also whatever you do – please do not stop talking and wait for Gary to find a particular drop , play the drop after awkward silence and then talk and laugh about the said drop.
The main thing about a drop is it – well just “drops” while the host is talking and you move on without missing a beat. Otherwise it sounds very amateurish and like a bunch of goofy, giggly teen chicks who figured out how to work the a computer.
Geez dude, calm it down. I think part of the charm of the show are the women and their personalities, I don’t really care if they a radio pros. Jesus.
Let it go, man. If you don’t like how the whole drop situation is playing out, move on to a podcast that follows all the “drop” rules that have been established somewhere apparently.
Thanks Dustin – yeah Ras, calm it down. When are you getting your own podcast? You seem to be a pro at it. What you don’t get is that us three are having fun and we’re not really trying to be polished. Adam has 16 years under his belt and btw, i am very aware of how drops are done. The three of us are having a great time and that’s I hope comes across., not anything forced. We aren’t old pros obviously so what i would like is for the listeners to have a good time with us.
And to address Andy’s post above: I think you’re missing the point. Of course he’s right about his 3 main points you listed above. But MC White’s post is correct. My point to Adam was that he didn’t think for a second that Alysin could be Alison?? He makes fun of me w/ math and numbers so I HAD to get him on this.
Thanks everyone else for your input and thanks for the kind words on the show. We really do love doing the show so we’re hoping that comes across. Now I’m signing off to watch some Jersey Shore…aww yeah!! xoxo
You like the boobs!?!?
Lynette,
You obviously do not have to listen to a shred of suggestion from anyone. In fact that is how Bonaduce operated. He did what he felt was a good for himself and the hell with whatever other people tbought. When you asked me when I was getting my own podcast, it reminded me of what the Duce Man would say. Sorry for bugging you.
Hi Ras,
Their audience doesn’t care about the drops. We don’t need a slick show. We like the ladies chatting it up and having a good time. Part of the charm of podcasts is the free-styling naturalness and conversational style.
Agree! It doesn’t seem to annoy any of the rest of us! Now please just let us ladies have our ladies the way they are. You have plenty of other podcasts you can choose from.
FCOL – I *LOVE* your show – just the way it is. Gary, and both of you ladies do such a great job. The loose-down-to-earth-feel of the show is why it is so appealing to me. Well, that’s not entirely true…I have had a crush on Adam since I was a teen, so I had to see what I was up against! (semi-kidding) No, seriously, thank you for the show, I live for it!
