A
Welcome to Happy Wife, Happy Life. We're your hosts. I'm Kendall Landris.
B
I'm Jordan Meyer.
A
We are two incredibly unqualified but deeply.
B
Love comedians who are here to help you with all things relationship. And on today's episode, we're reading our hate comments. Once every couple of months, Kendall and I gather up all of our hate comments, and we come to this podcast and we read them and tell you why you're wrong.
A
Exactly. And we did it last time, and it was so therapeutic. We did it last season. It felt so good. And I said, I think this is a necessary part of having a podcast. I do a pretty good job not reading the comments.
B
It's unbelievable. Kendall doesn't even have to try to not read the comments. She just doesn't. She's unfazed. She doesn't think about the comments. And I wish desperately I was like that, but it's so hard.
A
It's so hard. I also, first of all, usually it's just that it's a habit. I think it's a habit. And it's been easier for me to get into that habit because I think because I do sketch comedy on the Internet, it's like, I don't really care what anyone has to say. Not to be rude, but it's not usually, like, usually it's just haha. Or it's like, this sucks and isn't funny. And I'm like, well, I gotta keep making it to pay my mortgage, so I'm gonna keep making these videos, but they're not like, personal. I think it'd be harder if I was, like, just a YouTuber who did personal stuff. And people's comments were like, feels like Kendall is really like a narciss. I think that'd be harder for me to swallow.
B
Yeah.
A
But I think I got in the habit by just doing sketch comedy. So now I just, like, don't really have the thought to go read the comments. But podcasting on this podcast and my last podcast, the BCC Club, I used to have, I would sometimes read the comments and it was hard.
B
My thing is that I am not affected by the comments in the sense that they hurt my feelings or make me feel bad.
A
Right.
B
I don't like people feeling like they can come to my page, my. My space, and say something rude about me. Rude about you, Transphobic, hateful, like, whatever the thing is that pisses me off. So I feel like I need to take that out. Because when people that are good, people that are nice, people that actually consume our content go to leave a comment that are like, where'd you get that shirt? Or like, yeah, yeah. You don't want them to have to see stuff that's upsetting.
A
Right.
B
So it's. It's hard. But then I read them and I, like I said, I don't, I don't get. I don't get sad. I get mad because I'm like, what's wrong with you?
A
That's exactly how I've like, I remember I did this. I did this podcast episode on the BCC Club years ago where it was, JoJo Siwa. We're talking about JoJo Siwa. And I learned my lesson. I won't be speaking on that any.
B
Anymore, Especially in this political climate.
A
I know. During Pride Month.
B
I have during Pride Month during the time of Chris Hughes.
A
I know, I know. But so you just did this episode, and I just show up and I said, they're talking. You're talking about JoJo Siwa Day. I said, great. Okay, let's talk about JoJo Siwa. I got thoughts on JoJo Siwa. The podcast airs. I wake up, and it would air way before I would wake up. And I wake up and I look at my phone and it's just all these comments. It's like, Kendall is a child predator apologist. And I was like, what? What the fuck happened? I don't know what's going on. And stuff like that would more make me laugh because I was just like, this is crazy. Like, what is going on? But I think with.
B
That wasn't your take. Just like, I feel bad for jojo Siwa.
A
I think I said, like, look, she's got a lot going on. Yeah. And I think what I said was, I would be really embarrassed if me Openly out at 18 was broadcast on the Internet.
B
Sure.
A
Because you are. When you first come out of the closet, unless you're just super cool, you're pretty cringe. Like I, I. Which is like, not even cringe because it's like, sweet. It's nice. I never think that, but I was embarrassed.
B
I mean, would be embarrassed to look back on yourself. It's not embarrassing to look at someone, but it's like when I look at a picture of myself from high school and I'm wearing, like a hat Right. Where I'm like, why would I ever be wearing that hat? But someone else would look at that picture and not think anything of it.
A
Well, it was a fedora, and I've seen the picture in action.
B
I was embarrassed kind of jokes slide. I didn't wear a Fedora in high school. Okay, first and foremost, I don't believe that. I do not believe that in the.
A
Time of panic at the disco, you probably had suspenders on.
B
That was like, when I was in middle school, first of all. And you would have worn a fedora.
A
No, I wouldn't have.
B
Yes, she would have.
A
This is what I'll say.
B
What?
A
That's just.
B
I wore a fedora one time.
A
Okay, so you lied.
B
Not in high school. I wore a fedora one time, very confidently, when I was in middle school to go to an Anthony Rapp book signing. And if you're not familiar with Anthony.
A
Rapp, oh, my God.
B
Educate yourself. First of all. Second of all, Anthony Rapp was in the original Broadway cast of Rent. He's an actor who's done a lot. But I got his memoir, and he was signing it at Cinema Paradisio, which was an old movie theater by my house in South Florida that I used to love. And this whole. Already I'm 90.
A
This whole story is just like, exactly what I meant when I said you definitely wore a fedora.
B
Second, I was in middle school. That's like, the crux, though, is where you were wrong. I wore a fedora and a T shirt that said, it's hip to be square.
A
Oh.
B
Took a picture with Anthony Rap. Got it inside my book. We still have the signed book on our bookshelf. That was when I was in.
A
Insert the picture here.
B
Sixth or seventh grade. Yeah, I'll see if I can find the picture. We can. We'll toss it up. But I wore a fedora then. Very confidently. Other than that one time, no. And definitely not in high school.
A
Whatever. That whole thing is exactly how I pictured you in middle school. And also, you have to remember, you in middle school was me in high school. Like, the way we matured.
B
You would have worn if it were in high school.
A
Well, I didn't. I wore something worse, which was every Friday, I wore spirit clothes for our school, which was not a thing anyone else did. We didn't even have a spirit day. It was just that every Friday I tried to start a trend where we would wear our school colors and no one would do it. And I didn't kiss anyone until I was 19 years old. It's like, yeah, but I never wore fedora. What were we talking about?
B
School spirit day. When there's no school spirit day. To me, that's giving, like, blue Lives Matter bumper sticker on your car.
A
What?
B
It's like, that's. Why are you. What are you hearing this John, why are you hyping up an insult? No, I'm like, why? Don't let me say it. Why are you, like, hyping up an institution?
A
A public school?
B
Yeah.
A
I wouldn't say it's the same as the nypd.
B
Yeah. Okay, well, first of all, NYPD isn't the only cops, first of all. And second of all, no. But it's giving that energy of being like, wait, why are you, like, so obsessed with this thing that doesn't care about you?
A
Yeah, because your public school.
B
Honey, I'll tell you what, your public school did not care about you. I hate to break it to you.
A
I know. That's what's funny is I was wearing all these school colors, and they were like, you have Fs in all your.
B
Not past even wearing that. Not even your homework instead of buying.
A
A tutu to wear.
B
Yeah. Can't get into an accredited college.
A
Wait, what were we talking about before that?
B
I don't remember before Fedora. It doesn't matter. All right, first hate comment.
A
Yeah, let's hear it. I'm nervous, by the way. I haven't heard any of these. Jordan picked these out.
B
I did pick these out. So this is from Spotify. This is a comment we received on Spotify. Anyone else think their dynamic is dysfunctional and will absolutely lead to problems? Kendall needs to stop the excuses and say, I'm struggling to take this seriously and I'm not ready to work on it. Jordan needs to accept Kendall as she is or leave.
A
Which one is it?
B
If Kendall doesn't care about it, constant worrying and badgering doesn't help, ever.
A
I agree with that.
B
I think she wants both of us to be better. And I love that about this person. I really respect that about this hate comment. She says, hey, both of you do better.
A
Wow. Okay, here's what I'll say. This is what's hard. I think she's right about you. Here's what she's wrong about me. I think that it's like, what am I. We're on a. We're trying to be funny on here.
B
So sometimes I'm trying.
A
Oh, well, thank you.
B
Succeeding. We are very funny.
A
Sometimes it's hard because there'll be something where we're talking about it, and you're like, well, Kendall does this thing, and Jordan. I really try to, like, yes. And each other on the podcast. So if Jordan's like, kendall does this thing. Usually I try to be like, yeah, I do it. And here's why. Because I think it's funnier. Than me being like, no, Jordan, I told you not to bring that up, because I am working on that.
B
In real life, I probably wouldn't be like, well, Kendall does this thing. That's one thing that I think is funny, and we'll see this reflected later. But people being like, if this is how she talks to her in public, if this is how they speak to each other in public, imagine what it's like at home. I'm like, yeah, at home, we're not putting on a performance. Like, what are you talking about? At home, we're just being normal. And here we have to provide comedy for.
A
Well, I mean, I don't think anyone wants. It's like, she needs to stop making excuses. But I'm like, I don't think anyone wants me to. If you called me out for something and then I was like, you're right. I want to do better with that. It's like, nobody wants to listen to that. But also, people would, I feel like, come at you. Like, they would be like, if I responded that way, people would be like, kendall needs to assert her dominance. Like, I feel like people would be like, jordan just, like, nags her. Now. Give it. I will say, I tell you privately, you got to stop nagging me, Kendall.
B
That's because you. Once again, as this person said, you stop making excuses, and you just say, I'm struggling to take this seriously and I'm not ready to work on it. What they're talking about.
A
Fake comment.
B
You wrote all of these. Shut up. No, I also think it's hard because sometimes, like, things like this are so funny to me because it's like, jordan needs to accept Kendall or leave. I'm like, have you never been in one relationship? Not even just romantic? It's giving.
A
If you don't like America, move out of it.
B
Yeah, it's giving. Blue life's matter Flag. Enough.
A
Enough. Oh, my God.
B
No, I'm just. But, yeah, I'm just like, if I don't like Kendall as she is, leave. I'm like, that's not a partnership. That's like a.
A
First of all, if everyone left me when they saw something I didn't like about me, I would be done for.
B
Well, anybody, right? Like, I love you, and I love you as you are. But also, that doesn't mean that as two people who coexist together in one space, who share a life, who also work together, we don't have things where it's like, hey, I would appreciate it if you would do this this way. Or, hey, it would Be more considerate to me if you did this thing this way or whatever. It's like, it is so normal to talk about things. And I think this is something we touched on on another podcast recently. But I also want to say it here because I think it's so true. People will always be, like, mad at us that we say we fight. And I think something that people get really nitpicky about that I think is so annoying is we always get comments that are like, you guys say that it's normal to fight all the time. Well, we never fight. We have intellectual, loving disagreements.
A
That's what we have. It's just like, yes.
B
I'm like, we're using fighting as a catch. All here.
A
Do an impression. This will make you understand why we don't do this on the podcast. Let's have a mock.
B
Really? Actually, how we argue.
A
This is how we argue in real life.
B
I'll do. I'll do. I'll do one we had today ready.
A
This is what it'd be like this. This is the podcast you want comment down below.
B
Hey, baby. Sorry. I know that you had already said that you woke up a little late.
A
Yeah.
B
And you had already said that, like, you're feeling a little stressed about that. But I do feel like this email related to the podcast I asked you to send, like, a couple times ago, and I had to, like, remind you a bunch of times. And I just wish that you would write it down because I feel like it's kind of falling through the cracks and then that puts a lot of pressure on me to make sure I remember. And I. Yeah, that's kind of.
A
No, I understand that. And I don't feel the way. I just think I feel, like, a little frustrated because I feel like Friday, I told you about that email.
B
Yeah.
A
And then you'd. Well, you'd asked about it and I was like, well, I already did that, but I have to wait because it's the weekend. And like, so they weren't responding on the weekend. So I guess I feel like you're not really hearing me. You just keep, like, remembering you're stressed about it and, like, you just keep not hearing what I'm telling you, which is the answer to it.
B
That's so.
A
But I. But I do think in the past maybe, like, I have dropped the ball and stuff like that. So I understand you being, like, hyper aware and I don't want you have to feel that way.
B
That's.
A
But I just felt a little, like, attacked this morning just because I already stressed out And I think me being stressed out made you feel stressed out. But I also feel like I need space to be stressed out.
B
100. And I don't want you to feel that way. And that was annoying that you told me on Friday that it would take over the weekend. And then I kept asking you over the weekend. I think I just kept forgetting it was the weekend. And so that's my bad. And I'm sorry. I just felt like a couple days before that I had asked you and then I had to ask you a couple times. So I would just really appreciate if with something like that, you could either write it down or ask me to do it. And then I will try to not, like, pile on on mornings when you're already feeling.
A
But, you know, it's also bad on my part. It's like, I think I recently I've been writing stuff down in my to do list, but I have not been looking like, you know, I'm out of my schedule this week.
B
I just.
A
Not looking at.
B
You're just writing it down and returning back to that.
A
And I'm really sorry about that.
B
So that literally an argument we had this morning. So that is something that Kendall and I offhandedly would call a quote unquote fight. Right? So I'd be like, we fought this morning or whatever. That's what it is. So as Kendall said, if you want that podcast comment down below, if every week you want to hear an hour of that, let us know. But we'll be like, yeah, oh, my God. We, like, fight. Or we whatever. And then, yeah, just people are always like, we don't fight. We have passionate disagreement exchanges. And I'm like, get off your high horse. When I say we argue or we fight. I'm not me. We don't hit each other. Like, we're not yelling. We're not raising our voice. Like, you need to relax.
A
Okay, next, a comment.
B
I don't remember what episode. Oh, this is from when we said the episode where it's like, am I the asshole? And the title was, you are the asshole. This episode really turned me off. The yuck. Yumming and shaming and unwillingness to acknowledge that some people aren't prudes really did it for me. And the ongoing underlying tension of the host's unresolved gripes with each other are so uncomfortable to listen to.
A
Continued theme. Wait, what? What did we say we were anti prude?
B
I think that sometimes people write in questions where they'll ask about sexual stuff or relationship stuff, and we'll be like, that's not a good idea. And then people will be like, well, don't shame them. And I'm like, we're not shaming them. But they wrote into this podcast asking if this was a good idea.
A
But this is the problem, Jordan. I tell you every. Every time I try to bring up that I went to a sex dungeon, you make it seem like I'm. You don't want me to talk about it. Cause I brought it up too much. You think it's embarrassing. I keep talking about how I went to a sex dungeon one time when I was 19, but this is what happens. You don't feel open. I didn't do a bad job.
B
You were there. You've made it clear. No, I didn't, Kendall.
A
I did a fine job. It was my first time. I did an adequate job. No one commented. I got a little nauseous and had to leave early. That is not doing a bad job. Sure, I had to get a Slim Jim and eat in the parking lot. Nothing wrong with that. What I'll say is this makes people feel like they can't open up about sexual stuff because you won't let me talk about my sexual experience.
B
You can talk about the one time you went to a sex dungeon all you want. I'm just trying.
A
I'm sorry. I don't have other things. No, what you don't like about it is that it's repetitive. Is that I continue to say the same. Same exact thing, but I don't have many other ones.
B
Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah. Because we're not going to share our sexual stuff. Sorry. That's kind of like the one place I feel like we've drawn the line.
A
Yeah, we don't talk about that.
B
We don't really talk about our sexual. Pounding and hounding was what I was going to.
A
Okay, let's. Except on the Patreon. You can join.
B
It's just sexual on the Patreon. So get over there. Get the highest subscription. No. But yeah. I'm like, there's no. This is one thing. If you have ever listened to this podcast and felt like, oh, they're yucking my yum. We're not. We think that everyone, as long as they're not hurting themselves or someone else, they should be allowed to do whatever they want. But sometimes I do feel like people forget that these people are not people we found on the street and shook until they said something to us. These are people who listen to this podcast and wrote in. In a question, wanting to.
A
They put a subject line in an email.
B
Opinions. Yes. Yeah.
A
Well, also. Also, sometimes in. I saw a video a while ago that I totally agree with. They were like, stop saying to normalize things. That just simply. First of all, to normalize something would have to be normal. So stop being like, normalize. Putting my husband on a leash and making him, like, eat peanut butter off the street. I'm like, I'm not judging you. That doesn't need to be normalized. That is. What do you mean, normalize? That. That's not a normal thing to do.
B
Yeah.
A
Not common. And look, it's a niche thing, and you don't have to feel. If you're so counterculture, you shouldn't need it to be. The whole point is that it's not normal. You're doing something different. And so I think sometimes people need to laugh at themselves a little more because I have things that I'm like, look, I do that thing, and I know you can laugh at it.
B
It's free.
A
First of all, if I wrote it into a podcast, I'd be like, of course you laugh at it.
B
Yeah.
A
But some stuff we all do. We're into stuff. It's weird and it's silly, and that's awesome. But I'm not normalizing that for you, because that is the exact opposite of the point of it.
B
Yeah. I think laughs at using that phrase. Right. In general, I think we're overusing it because I also see the opposite where people are like, normalize kissing your husband in the rain. And I'm like, okay, I don't. Is there, like, a huge epidemic of you guys not being seen, like, your husband kissing in the rain? Are you guys okay? Like, do you feel like you need more kind of communal support in that act? I think it's like, normalized should be like, normalize. Not leaving rude comments on this podcast.
A
Yeah.
B
Well, I think that started correct usage of that.
A
It started with stuff that's like, normalized. Moms needing a break.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, yep. Normalize the fact that moms. Yeah. And then now I think people are like, normalize owning 40 frogs. I'm like, no, you shouldn't own 40 frogs if you do. You know, you're weird. I don't need to normalize it. I'm not gonna tell you that you should go to prison unless they're illegal frogs.
B
Frog sanctuary. And then I have to normalize you owning a frog sanctuary. Why do you need that? Why do you need, like, visibility for that? Just do it. And, like, it's too much.
A
Like, what's a weird thing you do that. I'd be like, we don't need to normalize.
B
Oh my God, so many.
A
There's so many things.
B
I feel like I don't need anything that I do normalized.
A
But that's what I mean. Like, I'm trying to think of something that I even. I don't know that it's just something weird that we do.
B
We almost exclusively speak to each other in a baby voice when we're alone.
A
Yeah. But then the other day I accidentally.
B
Did it in front of someone and that.
A
That was really bad.
B
And this is what I'll say. At no point was I like, normalize me speaking to my wife in a baby voice in public or whatever. It's like that.
A
No, I turned to you, I said, that was super embarrassing.
B
I know, it was a.
A
And huge.
B
L on part.
A
It was funny because. So the person who it was was Sean, who is a friend of ours, but also films my videos. So he was over and he'd already filmed my videos. So he was like, had his headphones in and Jordan comes into the room and talks to me in like a baby voice. And I went, jordan, Sean is right there. And Jordan was so embarrassed. You, like, went bright red, I felt. And I was like. We were both laughing about it. And then like a minute later you did it again.
B
I know.
A
Which was like crazy.
B
Cuz we were in our house and I.
A
And I was like, jordan, stop. And then like 15 seconds after that I was like, well, actually, I think it's okay. I don't think he can hear you. And he goes, I can hear you.
B
I know it's embarrassing. And I think people would expect it. And I think people would expect it much less from me than from you.
A
Well, that's what I said. I think he probably. Well, one time, your mom, I actually.
B
Oh my God, this is the most embarrassing thing. Really embarrassing.
A
First of all, I think it's important to remember I had a lot of medical problems this year. I had a surgery. I've been, I've been, I've been going through it. I've been on oxycodone half the year.
B
Well, and something important also to remember is that my mom is a nurse. So anytime anything medically is wrong, my mom, who also lives in Los Angeles, will come to our house and help, which is so nice. We also love my mom. We're very close with her, so we see her a lot. When Kendall had her breast reduction, my mom came over to like help with medical stuff. Kendall's. Hi, can I say that Kendall's high on medication.
A
You 10 minutes ago said, we show whole on our Patreon, and you don't think you can say we're high?
B
Kendall's high on, like, prescription drugs that she's been prescribed post her surgery. She's, like, not feeling well. She's half awake, half asleep, and speaking to me like a baby.
A
And then your mom. Well, I don't remember. I wasn't there. I blocked it out. What did she say? She's.
B
My mom was just like. I don't even remember how it came up, but my mom was like, yeah, well, you know, sometimes Kendall talks in that baby voice. And I was like, oh, my God, she's gonna be.
A
So why did you tell me that? That.
B
Sorry.
A
That was one of the worst moments of my life. I felt so embarrassed. Anyways, I would never be, like, normalized talking in a baby voice. You guys get the point.
B
You got it. We talked about it.
A
Enough question. I'm yapping this. I'll leave a hate comment about how much I say the same thing over and over again when I edit this podcast. I'm like, and she's saying it again. Oh, and she's gonna reiterate it in the exact same way again. Oh, and here she goes a third time saying the exact same thing.
B
And I love that about you. You're being clear. This is from the ER Fightmaster episode. And this person was upset when we talked about gender. And one of us being the boy and one of us being the girl, this person said, came to this episode from the TikTok vid on straight. People could not have guessed from the clip that they're so pro normie. What's the point of being non binary when you're just going to be binary? No, thanks, pro normie. Well, I think they were upset because we were joking about, like, one of us is the boy and one of us is the girl. But I think once again, the key word is, like, it's a joke. And I think that we're all joking and having fun as people who land in various spots along the gender spectrum, including error. So I. I think that it's hard because it's like, I think that there is so little joy for queer people in this day and age that if you want to have fun and do a little laugh at yourself, I think that's okay. I don't think it's hurting anyone. And I think us joking, being like, hey, one of us is the boy and one of us is the girl. Ha ha. Doesn't really mean that I think I'm a man and Kendall is a woman.
A
Yeah, yeah. It's not like Jordan won't let me have a job or something like that. But also, I'm just like, like I said last year, I was like, I think having a podcast has made me. Both times I've had podcasts has, has made me have to really become, really become sure in what I believe. So that I just say what I feel. Because I remember people would comment, I, I, this is a long time ago and I don't remember what I said, but I was talking about being a lesbian. People were mad the way I talked about being lesbian. I was talking about my experience being a lesbian.
B
I saw a private thread about you and I talking about being lesbians and how not lesbians and whatever.
A
And I was like, I, I actually am not taking notes about being a lesbian because I'm literally a lesbian. I don't even know what, why is it. And then you go to their page, they have like a husband. I'm like, which, okay, but we won't even get into that. But they, you're telling me what I'm allowed to and it's not. They're saying, you said something that they're going, you're not supposed to, you're not supposed to say this about being lesbian. I heard from this 13 year old on Tik Tok, you shouldn't say this about being a lesbian. Well, I'm a lesbian and I'm saying that doesn't mean I can't grow and I can't change. But I am like, this is what people want. Start doing another reenactment. But I used to do this on podcasts and I told myself I couldn't do anymore. For example, with that, I'd be like, well, yeah, because one of us is the boy and one of us is the girl. Now, of course I'm joking and I don't mean that. This and this and this. And I think it's important to say, and I'm going to say now for a lot of people listening who are non binary, that that's what they want. I don't want to listen to that. And I also don't want to do that and it's not funny. And also I'm an idiot. So also I, for me to try to like, I'm never trying to like say something that is new or based. People like, well, my comments on my old podcast were always, it's like the only comment about me would be like, Kendall just talks about stuff she's no idea anything about.
B
I was like, yeah, I have no.
A
Idea what I'm talking about.
B
The news. Did you think this was the Wall Street Journal?
A
But also it's like when I'm talking about JoJo Siwa. Why do I need an educated take on JoJo Siwa?
B
When can we get back?
A
We can get back to like when Brad Pitt cheated on Jennifer Aniston. It's like now they would be like, well, you shouldn't really speak about it in that way because this pop culture, who cares?
B
I don't need to have an educated. Don't be hurt.
A
No.
B
Be like slanderous or offensive or awful. But, like, just relax. Everybody needs to relax.
A
Next question.
B
And I. Oh, sorry. No, no, no, it's okay. I think this person is looking at the episode in kind of a bad faith take. And granted, if this person did not like the episode and it didn't jive with them, more power to them to not listen to it anymore. I'm a big believer in if something doesn't serve you, get rid of it, don't listen to it, don't, you know, give it, money, whatever. But at the same time, I think that people have to be allowed to like, joke and have fun within their own.
A
Yes.
B
Community.
A
Being gay is not so serious all the time.
B
Yes. And it's like for so many people in the LGBTQ + community, it is so hard that I think if people want to joke in a low stakes, non offensive way about themselves, I think we gotta lighten up and let that happen a little bit.

B
For me oh, and this is I was telling Kendall this is really funny because sometimes I'm like, wow, there are a lot of hate comments about me. Which once again doesn't hurt my feelings. But today I realized most of the hate comments about me on the Internet are from one specific Reddit user and out of the kindness of I won't say their username.
A
Bendel Tandreth succeed.
B
It's Kendall's burner account, but it's like it's and that was enlightening to me to be like, oh, this is just one very loud person. This is not like who's obsessed with me. But this is one of their many comments. My only issue with the pod is the fact that Jordan takes every opportunity to trash Kendall to the point that people wonder if she yes, she has recently switched her preferred pronouns.
A
Wait, what?
B
Even actually likes Kendall? The way she tears her apart. Habits that are a result of her ADHD are wild. Calling her careless and a liar because she's not responding to her hurt feelings with telling her you're a liar. But it's not a bad thing. Just own it, queen. In front of guests. To top it off, absolutely psychotic behavior. Like when is being a liar ever a compliment? I don't.
A
You did not mean it as a compliment.
B
I don't know what her problem is, dude, but she gives hella grifter vibes at this grifter.
A
Isn't that someone who's trying to make.
B
Money off what I wish Kendall would realize her value and all caps run because if Jordan acts like this on the pod in front of people, I can't imagine what gaslighting and bullying that goes on one on one. Jordan is a monster.
A
Wow. Okay, that's a pretty bad one.
B
This person has written a full novel on me at this point. If you took all the hate comments, oh my God. They should do it, I think. Compile them, write a book, put it well, try to make some coin on your on your work. That's a grifter. Yeah, I think it's just so hard. I think a lot of people were upset that I called you careless.
A
That was a big. I remember. That was a big. I even made a. I think I commented on that. I never come, but I remember commenting on that one because people were so mad, basically. If you didn't see it, don't check it out. People don't like it. But, no, I actually think it's a good episode.
B
I don't even remember, like, what we were talking about overall, and we were just talking.
A
Basically, you said, I'm careless. And I went, don't call me careless. My therapist told you not to say that. I was joking. First of all, my therapist doesn't talk to you until you. But I have talked to my therapist about how I hate the word careless because I feel like so much of what I was labeled careless so much growing up because of my adhd, because I would forget stuff or I would. Whatever. Doesn't mean that, like, there shouldn't be consequences for me for getting stuff or whatever. But I was labeled as a careless person. Always felt untrue to me because I was. I never felt like I was. I felt like I cared a lot. First of all, you never called me a careless person. If I remember correctly. I think you said something I did was careless. I can also be. I can do something that's careless. Every person can.
B
Well, that's. And that's all the conversation is, is me saying that. I think sometimes I. Kendall gets where she's like, well, I'm not careless. And I'm like, no, of course you're not careless, but. And insert whatever word you want to insert there. Not thoughtful or inconsiderate or whatever. There's, like, a myriad of different words you could use. But just like anyone, you can also be inconsiderate.
A
It's like you. First of all, I don't. You try not to ever call me careless. Not that it comes up that often.
B
Not a thing. But it was like, talk about it was right with what we were saying.
A
But it also was like, sometimes you say words that you don't mean to say all the time. There's this thing I do that annoys Jordan so much. I've talked. I don't know why I do this, but it's like, I'll say something, and I go, do you understand? And when we're arguing, we're arguing, we're arguing. Really irritates Jordan, where I'll be like, here's my perspective. Do you understand? And you don't like it. But I. And so I try not to say it, but ever so often, I accidentally say, whatever. It's not a big deal. So I just, like. But people thought it was, like, you purposely saying something. You knew that, like, first of all, all, I think it was also way too much of, like, people, like, that's going to trigger Kendall. I was like, no. It just, like, kind of makes me, in the grand scale of things, be like, oh, I don't feel like I'm a careless person. It's not like I can't continue with the podcast. That. And I'm like, oh, I'm so devastated Jordan said that word.
B
Yeah.
A
It was just not a big deal.
B
Was really upset. We would have cut it out.
A
Right. Well, then I.
B
The one that edits the podcast.
A
That's what I said. Why don't edit it? But I. I do the edits on. I. I never want people to think I. I'm not a good Blake. Edits our pockets very well. But I go through and, like, cut stuff out that I don't like or don't feel like I want to share or whatever it is. Anyways. I also think it's just this whole conversation on nobody can, like, make a mistake. It's like, yeah, you said that is a word that I've, like, in my life been like. Like, oh, I don't like when people say that. You never. But it's also a word that is very popular in the English language that is so normal for you to say and was relevant to what you're talking about, but you did not mean it.
B
Or, like, you know what I mean. It's not like I called you something where it's like, you should never say that.
A
Right. And if it made me that upset, I would have been like, can we cut that out? Or we have done that before. I've stopped either of us and been like, I don't want to talk about that. I don't want to.
B
Whatever.
A
So it was a total joke. Totally. Anyways. But people were so upset with you, and I think it just starts this bigger conversation, which I think we've talked about on the podcast before, so I don't need to repeat it too much, but just, like, the way that people. I think people are so, like, I'm a feminist, I'm a feminist, I'm a feminist. And then I've seen on the Internet the way people respond to women who put a period on the end of their sentences, have strong opinions, don't apologize, or say, excuse me all the time. Even just down to, like, have A lower voice. The way they respond to women like that is, like, so aggressive and insane. And I've seen that with you, where it's like, we can both be messing with each other back and forth, and I'm. I'm insulting. Quote, unquote. Quote unquote. What is it? Quote unquote. Quote unquote. Yeah, I never get it right. Quote, unquote, insult you, and then you come back at me, and we're going back and forth, and, like, people take it so differently. Like, they take yours as, like, an actual insult and mine is like a joke. And I literally think it's just like. And I'm sorry not to say I'm. I'm not one to be like this, but I think it really is, like, sexism from people. Obviously, they're sexist people in the world, but I think like. Like people who think. People who think they're like, I listen to this gay podcast. Why is it that I find Jordan so condescending? Or why do I find Jordan so. What's the word? Like, I would say endearing, but that's not it.
B
A lot of people find me endearing too, though.
A
No, it's not that, though, for sure.
B
It's.
A
It's like a demeaning. Demeaning. I don't know, maybe that's. But whatever. Why do I find Jordan this way? And it's like, because you have, like, this internalized. You want a girl to be like, I don't know, I'm stupid. You know what I mean?
B
Yeah.
A
Do they love me because I'm so stupid?
B
No. I think something that's hard is that I think people identify with the media that they consume. And I think some people listen to this podcast and identify with both of us. I think some people listen to this podcast and identify with neither of us, but still like the podcast. And then I think some people identify with me, and I think some people identify with you separately.
A
Yeah.
B
And I think sometimes there are people who listen to the podcast that only identify as you or see themselves as a Kendall, and they're like, oh, well, Kendall's just like me. Or I have adhd, and so does Kendall. And because of that, Jordan is speaking to me. First of all, I'm not speaking to you. I'm talking to my own wife. Second of all, I'm like, there. There's a difference between someone, like, having an issue with you versus someone, like, attacking you. I mean, even this episode, like, this same commenter I saw being like, Jordan is ableist or whatever, and it's like, my God. It's not ableism to have frustrations with your partner being inconsiderate regardless of where that lack of consideration.
A
Well, we always say this. It's like rare. It's like, oh, I'm not trying to be inconsiderate. Yeah, I'm not. I would never think you were trying to be considered or I wouldn't be dating. If you're purposely. If you ever. Which maybe people have this in relationships. If you ever purposely trying to hurt my feelings, Purposely trying to upset me.
B
It's like, not.
A
We can just take that out of the conversation also and let me know if I'm speaking. I've turned all. Because I'm not trying to say anything that you think is incorrect.
B
I'm excited.
A
No, I already said the stuff I'm.
B
No, you're doing great.
A
Okay. All right. Well, I'm just talking about you a lot, so I don't want it to seem. But what I was going to say is that I also am like, it irritates me because, look, I like to. I'm 5 10, so when people think I'm a baby, it's kind of nice because I feel like so massive all the time. So I'm very small and I need to be protected. Sure. But at the same time, I'm like. Like, these comments sometimes piss me off because I'm like, I can stick up for myself and I do all the time. Not like I need to be stuck. Stuck enough for stuck up for whatever, but, like, as if I'm like, so unable to have a backbone that you can say something to me that I don't like. On our public podcast that I do edits on, I can't even bring myself to say it, like, all the time I'm like, don't say that, Jordan. I don't like that. Jordan, don't do that. I don't like that. Like, I am so confident and feel fully able to tell you whatever. So I think sometimes I'm also like, don't make like, infantilize me.
B
Yeah. 100.
A
Just because I'm so cute and small. I know. It's hard to imagine.
B
Exactly. Yeah. And you are very cute and small. But, yeah, I think people are, are, are very, you know, concerned about how they're perceived. And then once again, I think if they identify with you or any of the things that, like, you have going on. Yeah. They're like, well, that's an attack on me. And I'm like, no, whatever you do in your own life is like, that's up to you. Like, that's. That's not affecting me.
A
There's things that, you know, like, not that there's a ton of things, but there's things that we don't talk about that on this podcast because I know you would be like, whoa, why are you bringing that up? You know what I mean? Or vice versa. Like, I know there are topics that, like, if you brought it up, I'd be like, where. Don't bring that up. Like, what the heck? We're still figuring that out. Or we're still. Whatever. Yeah. So anything we're going to talk about on here is, like, it's full game to joke about.
B
Yeah, 100%. But I also think there are things of, like, you know, you having ADHD and you also being able to be inconsiderate sometimes with certain actions. And just like how I have generalized anxiety disorder and I'm able to be inconsiderate sometimes with my actions. And I think sometimes. And I only say this because it's not really about you and I, because you already know this, but I say this to other people listening in that you can love your partner and you can accept your partner wholeheartedly, and you can understand your partner's differences, disabilities, unique quirks, any myriad of things along the spectrum of, like, things that are unique to your partner and their needs. But you can also say, hey, when you do this thing, it hurts my feelings. Things.
A
Yeah.
B
And me telling you that something you do hurts my feelings or makes me feel like I'm not being considered is not me being inconsiderate of your adhd.
A
Well, and. And I don't want to show up for you that way, but I don't show up for myself that way either. So it's like, you don't want to just let yourself be like, oh, I have adhd, so I can't do any of these things for myself. I would not want that for myself. The first thing I would do if I was working with therapist, which I am, news flash. They would be like, let's put these things in order for you to have a better life. So why would I give myself that? And that being normalized. Let's normalize this. Hey, hey, why don't we normalize this, America, but not do that for my partner.
B
Yeah.
A
It's like, yeah, you have problems. You. Every time you go to therapy. Commenter. You're probably not in therapy. I don't know, maybe you are. You say, well, my ADHD makes me feel this way, and I Want to. I want to improve this. I want to wake up earlier. I want to do this so I feel better. You can do the same thing for your partner. Next question.
B
Yes. I also don't know what this person meant when they said, I've recently switched my preferred pronouns.
A
I don't know about that.
B
I don't really know what that's about.
A
Have you.
B
This person, a big announcement has some updates on me that I don't quite have on myself yet. And I think that's really beautiful. My favorite thing about a lot of comments like this or it'll be people. And what I'm finding out is just this person specifically because all the comments are from this one person. I'll be like, every week I have to just listen to the podcast and hear Jordan. I'm like, it is not government mandated to listen to this podcast. Should be.
A
We've applied for that.
B
It should be. Yeah, we've. We've applied for that, but it's not. You don't have to listen to this podcast. This is a podcast Kendall and I make about our relationship. And if you only like Kendall, I get it. Kendall is literally the best. But Kendall has a lot of media that you can consume that I'm not in, and vice versa. If you just want to hear Kendall talk without me being present, that would mean being Kendall's friend. And Kendall doesn't like you. So I think that's something that's really.
A
Important because what do I say? What do I say? Come on.
B
In relation to do this.
A
What do I say? I'm a big wife guy.
B
Oh.
A
I mean, so you're not gonna be my friend if you don't like my wife.
B
And Kendall and I both are like that. And I. And you know, I've said this before, but I will echo it again. If you don't like me, you're not gonna like Kendall. Honey, we. We seem very different, but we're very similar and very on the same page. That's why we get along so well.
A
Yeah.
B
Because I think we're the same person in different fonts.
A
And what font am I? Chalkboard and your Comic Sans.
B
What font is chalkboard?
A
You know John. John knows John.
B
You're familiar with chalkboard font. You guys use that editing a lot. Perfect.
A
It's unprofessional. It's fun. Can't hardly read it.
B
No, I would say you're cursive. What?
A
I can't even write in cursive?
B
I know you can't write in cursive, but I do Think you're cursive. I think it's beautiful. I think it's timeless, and I think it's fun. And it just has this, like, pizzazz to it. And this, like. It's so, like, special. Not everybody can do it. Not everybody can read it. Not everybody gets it, but it. You see it and you go, God, wow.
A
Well, that is really sweet of you. I do have to tell you, cursive is not a font. That is a style of writing can be a font.
B
Okay, wait, you're being a. I don't be.
A
I don't think cursive is a font.
B
Style.
A
Like, print is not a font.
B
Hold on. Cursive.
A
I was very sweet what you said, but I'm just pretty sure that's not. You would have.
B
So crazy that I'm labeled the monster. You heard all the stuff I just said to her, and then she does that to be funny, to get a joke, to get a laugh.
A
I think you would have to say a specific type of. Type of cursive. But maybe I'm wrong. Are you looking? The length of time it's taking to look, something makes me think I'm right.
B
No, you're wrong. Both. Both are true. There's, like, a cursive font.
A
What's it called?
B
Cursive.
A
Okay, all right, all right, okay. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
B
Cursive script.
A
Cursive script. So which one of those am I? Because that's why I was getting. I want to clarify, what am I? Curse of script or curse of.
B
You're backtracking now because, you know, you like a massive a hole.
A
No, that's very sweet of you. That's very, very sweet.
B
Sweet.
A
Next question. Okay, it's not a question. I guess it's just people yelling at us.
B
Question. This one's about you. This is the Instagram clip of you saying you have a list of words that I mispronounce.
A
Okay, that was pretty funny, huh?
B
Who needs haters when you have a frenemy like her?
A
Frenemy.
B
I'd be appalled if my friend kept a list of words I pronounced. And then obviously someone commented and was like, they're not friends. That's her wife life. And the person then responded again and said, ah, that kind of makes it worse, in my opinion. Lol. I don't think that's cute, but if that's their playful way, then I am happy they are in love and find that funny.
A
Well, we've. Since foremost it again, this is a sex podcast, so everything we do here is foreplay for sex later. So anything you don't like, that's not your place. It's not. None of this is. People happen to watch this podcast. It actually is something we've done privately for years, so you can.
B
Yeah, we're just now the public.
A
Sorry. Sorry I did that. If that upset. Upset you. Me? That was really so funny.
B
No, it was so funny. That was honestly. When people are like, I was gagged. No one's ever been gagged except for me in that moment. I was shocked. My jaw was on the floor. I couldn't believe it. Because you're so bad at keeping secrets and surprises. Because you're so excited and also, like, have a bad time remembering, like, what is a surprise and what's not a surprise.
A
I've ruined so many birthdays.
B
I know you've burned a lot of surprises, but I just couldn't believe that you kept a secret from me. I was. I was tickled. But I was also proud of you in a way.
A
That's sweet. That's sweet. Okay, next one.
B
This is our last one. What? And it's for both of us. Someone joined our patreon. What? And then they were a member of our patreon for a while, and then they unsubscribed from our patreon.
A
Oh, my God.
B
And there's an exit survey you fill out.
A
Oh, no.
B
When you leave our Patreon.
A
Because that's.
B
So you can click a reason as to why you are unsubscribing. You don't have to do that, but you can. Typically, people are like, my financial situation has changed. That's one of the buttons you can click. So that's almost everyone. Another one is like, I joined to get one specific thing. I got it. And now I'm unsubscribing, which also makes sense to me. You know, they get a little bonus check. They want to subscribe for a month to listen to a certain thing or get a certain thing, and then they unsubscribe. Makes sense to me. Sometimes there are options that are like, I'm unhappy. D. Whatever. I'm unhappy. Laugh. People click those because I'm like, what do you think this is?
A
God, that hurts. That. That. That actually does get me a little bit.
B
But you can click one of those. And then also on top of being able to click an option, you can leave a comment if you want. So this person clicked the option that was like, I'm unsatisfied with what I'm receiving here. And then left this comment on the exit survey that said, this podcast started to get pretty grading pretty quick.
A
I actually get that. Actually, I actually really get that. I think sometimes when I listen to it, like, because I like I said, I go back and do the edits every time I'm like, God, I cannot listen to this again. I can't listen to this twice.
B
Or you, I know you don't like me talking. You don't like listening to your own voice, but that's.
A
I hate listening to my own voice. Every time I'm. Oh my God. I'm just like, I say I have these, like, everyone does these ways I speak that I'm like, why did you say that? I say like those about other people. Exactly. But for me, that's why these hurt so bad. Because nothing I don't hate. Comments don't get to me. But when someone subscribes to your Patreon, I mean they had to put in their so and I'm sorry to curse they put in there. They had to put in their credit card information. They went through all of that and then they see what I have to give, which is just me talking and they are so dissatisfied, which is like, I, I would, I get it. And that is really embarrassing for. That is really hurts.
B
Yeah, it made me laugh because also it's like such not constructive feedback. Like, what are we gonna change? Like, it just leaving a comment. That's what I think is so funny about comments. I would never leave any kind of comment unless it was a hyping someone up. Sometimes I see someone who's like, clearly trying to get traction on social media. I love their like outfit videos or cook videos or whatever. I'll leave a comment that's like, absolutely love this fish dish or whatever. That's the kind of comment I think is appropriate. The second kind of comment occasionally I will leave would be like, let's say I left my foot doctor that botched me a bad Google review. Because I'm like, the people need to know and these doctors need to do better. This comment is private, so it only goes to you and I and this person knows this. And then second of all, not private anymore. Honey, no, no. How do we. There's nothing we can change as just.
A
My voices, our voices are grading and.
B
I look, I leaving a comment that's like, I don't like you. It's like, okay, how did you even get here?
A
How did you even subscribe? But I, I, I mean I don't think your voice is grading, but that.
B
One, yours is great.
A
There's no way. My voice.
B
I don't think your voice is grading at all.
A
I talk like, you're all, that's true. But I talk like. Well, we've had to work on that because people in the beginning were like, your voices are too similar. So we've tried to talk a little differently.
B
Yeah, people like, I can't tell who's talking on the podcast if I'm not watching it.
A
That's crazy.
B
Sorry.
A
I feel like my voice is like a roller coaster when I listen to it on the podcast. It's like I'm up and then I talk like this, and it's just like, why are you talking like you're performing a monologue?
B
Monotone.
A
That would be probably a little sexier. Probably a little less grading.
B
No way. I don't think so. I think this person's a hater, and I'm glad they're not part of the Patreon.
A
Oh, me too. I mean, no, that's too much. You guys, stop hating on us. Us. It's not necessary. We're literally perfect. We're so cute and special and awesome.
B
And speaking of Patreon, you can always join our Patreon. We have a bunch of different levels, a bunch of different things. Ad free episodes, giveaways, message chat where you can always talk to Kendall and I at any hour. Any hour.
A
Cancel your therapist.
B
And there's fun, like, member chats where people share their art and their dating stories and, like, all kinds of stuff. That's so fun. You also get Patreon exclusive episodes every single week.
A
And we have some fun on those.
B
We really do. They're grading, but they're fun. And as always, this is a completely independently produced and made podcast by Kendall and I. So if you're listening, even out of hate, if you're leaving rude comments, we just want to say thank you. It's paying our bills.
A
Also, we have something kind of exciting to say, which is if you look behind you, our set is a little lacking.
B
Not in beautiful new studio. And we love it.
A
Well, the studio is incredible. Honestly, it's showing off how bad the set design we have is, which is just a photo of Jordan and I from home that I took off our mantle and a photo of our. Actually, that's pretty good. Our photo of our dog that I had made. We have some, you know, but it's a little barren. So we were talking. Well, this is Jordan's idea. If you have something that you would like to send us to our P.O. box. Our P.O. box is P. O Box 4037, Burbank, 91503. Is that right? I think so. It's in, like, every bio we have. Like, if you go to my Instagram bio or the podcast. Podcast. Instagram. It's everywhere. If you have something you'd like to send us. If you have something that's like, we receive in our P.O. box all the time, like fan art or a letter or whatever it is, if you want it to be featured on the set, you can just tell us that when you send it. And we will put it on our set. And we were like, oh, my God, then eventually it'll just be filled with all of your guys's stuff.

A

Happy Wife Happy Life - Episode 70: Are We MONSTERS? (Reading Our Hate Comments)
Release Date: June 30, 2025
Hosts: Kendahl Landreth and Jordan Myrick
In Episode 70 of Happy Wife Happy Life, hosts Kendahl Landreth and Jordan Myrick delve into a particularly challenging aspect of podcasting: dealing with hate comments. As self-proclaimed "deeply in love comedians," Kendahl and Jordan use humor and candid conversation to navigate the often harsh feedback they receive from listeners.
Kendahl begins by sharing her unique resilience to negative feedback, attributing it to her background in sketch comedy. She mentions, “I do sketch comedy on the Internet, it's like, I don't really care what anyone has to say” (00:53). This detachment allows her to focus on creating content without being bogged down by criticism. Conversely, Jordan expresses a desire to shield their supportive audience from harmful comments, stating, “I don't like people feeling like they can come to my page... and say something rude about me” (02:14).
The hosts open the floor with a comment from Spotify that questions their relationship dynamic:
Spotify Comment:
“Anyone else think their dynamic is dysfunctional and will absolutely lead to problems? Kendall needs to stop the excuses and say, I'm struggling to take this seriously and I'm not ready to work on it. Jordan needs to accept Kendall as she is or leave. If Kendall doesn't care about it, constant worrying and badgering doesn't help, ever.” (06:48)
Kendahl responds thoughtfully, acknowledging the critique while defending their approach:
Kendahl: “I think she's right about you. Here's what she's wrong about me... We're trying to be funny on here.” (07:26)
Jordan adds, “At home, we're not putting on a performance. Like, what are you talking about?” (07:59)
Reflecting on a past episode involving JoJo Siwa, Kendahl recounts receiving severe accusations accusing her of being a “child predator apologist” (03:10). Both hosts find the comment bewildering and inflammatory:
Jordan: “That's a grifter. Yeah, I think it's just so hard... Jordan is a monster.” (26:15)
They clarify that such accusations are unfounded and stem from misunderstandings or malicious intent.
A listener's feedback from the 'ER Fightmaster' episode criticizes their handling of topics related to prudes:
Listener Comment:
“This episode really turned me off. The yuck. Yucking and shaming and unwillingness to acknowledge that some people aren't prudes really did it for me. And the ongoing underlying tension of the host's unresolved gripes with each other are so uncomfortable to listen to.” (12:54)
Kendahl and Jordan address this by emphasizing their intent not to shame but to engage openly with diverse perspectives about relationships and sexuality.
Kendahl reveals that many of the negative comments directed at Jordan originate from a single, persistent Reddit user:
Jordan: “Most of the hate comments about me on the Internet are from one specific Reddit user... Jordan is a monster.” (25:50)
They discuss the frustration and futility of dealing with such targeted negativity, reinforcing their commitment to each other despite external criticism.
A playful yet critical comment from Instagram targets Kendahl’s humorous remark about mispronouncing words:
Instagram Comment:
“Who needs haters when you have a frenemy like her?” (40:25)
Kendahl and Jordan take this in stride, showcasing their strong, lighthearted relationship dynamics by joking about each other's quirks.
A patron's exit survey comment expresses disappointment in the podcast's perceived decline:
Patreon Comment:
“This podcast started to get pretty grading pretty quick.” (42:10)
Kendahl empathizes, reflecting on her own critical listening habits, while Jordan finds humor in the unconstructive nature of such feedback.
Throughout the episode, Kendahl and Jordan highlight the importance of open communication and mutual respect in their relationship. They emphasize that disagreements or criticisms within their dynamic are normal and do not reflect their personal feelings toward each other. Additionally, they stress the value of their community, encouraging listeners to contribute to their podcast set with personal items, fostering a sense of shared ownership and connection.
Kendahl:
“We just want to say thank you. It's paying our bills.” (46:42)
Episode 70 serves as a testament to Kendahl and Jordan's resilience and commitment to their relationship and podcast. By addressing hate comments head-on with humor and honesty, they reinforce the show's core message: navigating relationships with love, laughter, and an unwavering support system. Their candid discussions not only humanize them but also provide valuable insights for listeners facing similar challenges in their own relationships.
