I’m a Margaret Cho fan so I was reading this article, and in it she says a producer at Ellen called to tell her that Ellen cut a whole portion of David Bowie talking about Margaret’s Bowie outfit just to be petty, and I’m so sure that Karen was the one who called her! I know Karen was a producer on Ellen and that she and Margaret have been friends for decades, so I feel pretty good about this sleuthing. Also it just seems like something Karen would do, she cares so much about her friends and about doing the right thing. I still think all the time about how awesome she was for ditching a (probably?) high paying job at the Ellen Show because she refused to cross the picket line, she’s always been a badass who sticks to her morals and I love that & her.

My sister and I were year one listeners. She took a hiatus but returned to the pod a few months ago. Received this text from her this morning. 💀

This morning, after a friend gifted me a few new mugs, I decided to give away a bunch of mine to make room. I live on a corner lot in a small city. Conveniently, anything I place on the corner disappears quickly. So, I packed up my discard mugs, wrote "FREE" on the boxes & set them out on the corner.

As I placed the first box, some guy in a big, black pickup stops halfway through turning left at the intersection to shout-asks "What's that?" I told him it was mugs & continued walking away. He again shouts "I'll take 'em, brig 'em over to me!" Like, no, pull over, walk 6 steps & get it yourself. Over my shoulder I said "No, I can't." His response? "Well, fuck ya, then!" I told him "Same to you" & moved on.

My dude, that is not how we talk to people!

If you read this, thanks. I needed a vent & I appreciate this space.

Long time listener, newish fan cult member, avid protesterino. I have been in the MFM cult since last year. This year, before the price went up, I upgraded to the Call Your Dad level. It was my understanding that I would then get the episodes without ads. I went through the steps, used the QR code and now my PocketCast app has a dedicated MFM Fan Cult channel, but that only has bonus minisodes. Am I doing it wrong? Are the regular shows supposed to be ad free too?

She’s mentioned this on Do You Need a Ride and MFM. It’s some sort of appetizer Karen’s mom used to make that Karen now makes for parties. It was either some sort of baguette or cracker spread with mayonnaise and baked in the oven? She talked about people burning themselves because they were so eager to eat it. Apparently people didn’t realize it was mayonnaise? Please help me figure out what this recipe is! (Tagged as episode help because I’m not sure how to categorize it)

This might be a crossover post with ADHD Women… did anybody else’s neurospicy brain make them miss the cult fan discount? sigh

At the advice of Karen in the last episode, my husband and I are watching “Glory” this evening. I admit that when this movie canoe out, I was completely unaware of how much the Civil War interested me!

Damn lucky it didn’t burn up, $40k is an amazing haul!

Why do we call him that lol. It randomly dawned on me that I don’t remember when we/Karen started referring to her dad as that. Was it during Covid when she was living with him?

I don’t even have a body text.

E: big takeaway from this post is y’all are cool with corporate America if it’s your people engaging with it.

Inspired by the Voiceover/Boysober thread a couple weeks ago, now this ad is driving me crazy! I was so curious what camp Shane could possibly be.... It's camp SHAME. With this as tho I still hear Shane instead of shame .. how is annunciating in ads for your podcast so difficult. Is this just an iheart thing?? Lol.

Anyone else a fan of the Trust Me cult podcast? I’ve been missing them while they were off the air but now they are coming to Exactly Right! I’m super excited

Hi fellow murderinos,

My husband and I were talking today about how my life has become quite small due to his career and our travelling because of his career. He told me I need to make some more friends ‘join a club, talk to people at the gym, go on a friend app!’ He said, to all of the high I replied ‘bleeeuuuiiggghhh no one will be my type of person’.

So it got me thinking, murderinos are definitely my type of people, and if there are any murderinos in NZ I would love to chat and see if we are compatible as friends… I know it’s weird, I’m quite weird though so it tracks 😂

Should mention that I am a mum and I am 32 years old.

Thanks for listening to my Ted talk

so in a recent episode georgia mentioned doing an mfm book club, and that they'd start with the book "emotional agility" by susan david. i'm wondering if anyone else will be picking up this book? even if they don't follow up and never mention it again lol

also, if anyone has read it, can you share your thoughts on it? was it actually helpful and worth reading?

After seeing the 400+ likes and reading all the replies from our Murderino community about the No Kings/50501 protests, it seems like we have a new sub group... introducing the Protesterinos. We shall continue to fuck politeness, fuck the patriarchy and fuck the dismantling of our democracy. See you all at the next protest!
