September 07, 2022 6. When John Mulaney Met Anna Marie Tendler *TEASER*
This is a teaser for our bonus episode about John Mulaney & Anna Marie Tendler, available on Patreon!
John Mulaney's adoration for his wife, artist Anna Marie Tendler, was a frequent segment in his comedy specials, making their separation in 2021 a shock to fans. More shocking was John's suspiciously sudden pregnancy with Olivia Munn, prompting disappointed fans to turn on the comedian and "pick Anna in the divorce."
Meanwhile, other fans have been critical of the "parasocial fixation" on their relationship when we "don't know the full story." While we'll never know all the facts, Mel breaks down their public relationship timeline to piece together what happened. We also analyze Anna's heartbreaking photography ("Rooms in the First House") and theorize why this breakup may connect to others.

We’re headed back to the ‘70s to ride the rollercoaster of one of music’s biggest power couples: James Taylor & Carly Simon. From hot starry nights in Martha’s Vineyard to cold, bitter betrayals in secret love nests, it’s hard not to get your heart absolutely shattered by this love story. Through their own revealing prose and lyrics, we seek to understand what turned these folk-rock lovers into an angry man & hungry woman. Why has James not spoken to Carly in nearly 40 years? Is reconciliation impossible?

Whenever the song “You Oughta Know” by Alanis Morissette comes on, someone in the room says, “Did you know this song is about Uncle Joey from Full House?” It’s true that Alanis and Dave Coulier dated from 1992 to 1994. Dave’s both confirmed and denied that the song’s about him. This week, we try to investigate the truth…
