For Crying Out Loud

3,673

Lynette Carolla, and Stefanie Wilder-Taylor are two mothers of twins just trying not to eff it up. In this raucous hour of conversation they, along with Producer Caelan Biehn, a father of two young girls, cover a range of topics from marriage, divorce and the space in between, to what they’re watching, where they’re going (Target) and how they manage to look so damn young. The format is informative, loose and most of all entertaining. If you’re looking for parenting advice you’ve come to the wrong place but when you hear their honest, unfiltered experiences you may come away knowing what NOT to do. Put them in your ears while you clean your floors or walk your dog and let them keep you company during what will surely become your favorite hours of the week. New shows come out Tuesdays and Fridays.

Lab rats

Imagine being so insecure and attention seeking that you turned your entire family into lab rats… how many medications can one family need. Stef herself has said she looks for shortcuts instead of parenting thru dysmorphia, depression, adhd, and so on and so on… She’s an addict who gets off on pushing drugs on her kids. Sick. Just wait til the kids wake up and realize what she’s done.

Stef’s whole personality is her kids MANY diagnoses… and now even the new school isn’t working out? Newsflash: Stef is the problem 🤡

Hola

I really like the PC a lot and enjoy all the personal stories about your husbands and children. I always find that I can relate to your personal stories. My only complaint about the show is Stephanie talks waayyy to Much and over talks Lynette. Lynette NEVER finishes a story without Stephanie budding in and it is so annoying. Can’t understand why Stephanie can’t hold her (competitive) commentary until after Lynette is finished talking.

LYNETTE IS Spoiled and Entitled!

And that’s how she raised her children!

Stefanie…take a beat

Stefanie. Listen when people are speaking. Your interruptions are so annoying and disrupt the flow. You are so busy formulating your reply, you aren’t listening.

Stefanie continues to show herself to be an un-American, Trump deranged hack. When the assassination attempt of DT wasn’t even mentioned in the slightest, I figured I’d be generous and chop it up to them finally steering away from politics. But of course, breaking news, let’s talk all about Biden dropping out. Disgusting. She can’t see past her political bias that a former president almost lost his life, one person tragically died, 2 were seriously injured and what a terrible act of violence that was.

Come on, come on, come on……

Enough with the ill placed Brightspeed internet commercial! Love you both!!

It’s okay a lot out of touch

They are SAHM, but have this outdated mindset that moms do everything and dads do nothing. But that is not my experience with me and my friends the dads do at least 40%. But I think it’s a generational thing. Also Lynette is not the sharpest knife in drawer and kinda self centered, and Stefani is a helicopter parent at best and living through her children. I stopped listened 4 years and check in once in a while but it is getting worst.

Four hours of stef

Two of fcol and two with Cecily and I’m not annoyed. Hah! Love you Stefanie and Lynette. You crack me up.

Lynette is great, Stephanie is horrible

Lynette is funny and delightful, except for her taste in podcast partners. She could team with Phil the lab, a potted plant, anyone but Stephanie.

Haters

There are some folks complaining about ads but that’s how podcasts make money to pay the hosts and production team. Also, we have free will so you can fast forward or join Patreon for an ad free experience. Or, just don’t listen and have yourself a nice day. 😅

Patreon

Been a looong time listener. I want to join the Patreon group but for some reason it says I’ve been blocked? I don’t believe I’ve ever had an acct. so not sure if it’s an app. Issue or what. Help please.

Nails on a chalkboard

Stephanie complains about eeeeeverything. Her kids are going to be going to therapy their entire lives for living under the same roof as her.

Fave pod

I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts over the years and FCOL consistently makes me laugh and keeps me coming back. It’s one of the few that I actually listen to as soon as a new episode comes out. Keep up the great work Stefanie, Lynette, and Caelen!

Fun Ladies

Always enjoy listening to these ladies and their guests! Not sure why people who don’t like them would even follow this show. It’s always fun and the stories they tell always have me laughing!

Too many Ads!! Out of control

I know they have to make money, but the amount of ads are out of control, feels like 40% of the show are ads.
Calberta

Needs better flow

Stef too often steps on others stories during the podcast. It disrupts flow and doesn't allow others to finish. Or she completes others' stories. The podcast needs more Lynette and Calean and fewer disruptions from Stef, which are sometimes just repeats.

School talk

Insulting at times

Love the show

I give you 1 star for those incessant audible commercials…ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
Lindseyandyou

Long time listener

Love the show been listening since day one. I get a bit annoyed at times but I love that caelan is more involved cause goods a new perspective. Love Lynette always she’s the absolute reason I listen. Stef I like her too but, as she knows, a LOT of stories get repeated and it’s always in depth. Not just a quick rush through synopsis. Still love them all though and having 3 episodes a week is so much better! I loved the episode discussing shows. That’s what we all want weekly!

Guest episodes are a pass

Except for Julie, guest episodes are not working. Here’s how other podcasts incorporate guests successfully: they don’t change the format of their show to accommodate a guest. They just fold them in to their regular format. FCOL is not an interview format show, it’s a show where 2 women talk about their lives. But these guest episodes turn into interview shows where they try to prove how interesting/funny/entertaining this guest is (they really aren’t). Just make it a regular show where the guest contributes here or there. And please stop referring to your doctor as Dr “Knock Around” because his wife abuses him. It’s so cringe and it’s not funny. Wouldn’t be ok if their doctor was a woman, and it’s not ok when their doctor is a man.

Lots to love, even if you don’t have kids

I’ve been listening since the beginning, even though I don’t have kids. I love Teresa Strasser and wanted to check out her new pod and the rest is history. Teresa and Lynette talked about all sorts of things, not just parenting and that didn’t change when Stephanie came aboard. They are so down to earth, funny and entertaining. Love the regular podcasts as well as their Patreon episodes.

No, I’m Crying….

Out Loud in a nail salon! Best Guest EVER @laurahouse. I don’t’ listen to many podcasts, but when I do FCOL is a TOP pick! I laugh, I cry, I learn!

Sonny’s awesome

You did a phenomenal job Lynette
Moejoe227

Enough Already

Really would had liked to hear Sonny and Lynette tell a story without Stefanie constantly interrupting. No wonder all the bad reviews. Hopefully Lynette will get another cohost.

TV shows/movie reviewers

These ladies talk about what to watch, podcasts 95% of the time. Not a parenting podcast any longer!

FCOL makes my week

Stef is so fun to listen to.. She produces a show that I truly enjoy. I relate to so much about what Lynette and Stefanie chat about.
lesliepezly

Lynette is the best!

I listen for Lynette. Usually fast forward though whatever stef is complaining about. Loved when Wendy was on.

Whiners

If you enjoy listening to woke brats complain about petty stuff, then this podcast is for you.
Tra-Monterey

Refreshing!!!

Wendy & Lynette should start their own podcast. No interruptions, no one upping, no constant complaining!! Glad for the break from SWT!
MommaJ624

Yay Auntie Wendy!

Thanks for sharing your fun stories and memories together. It’s obvious how close you and Lynette are, and so nice to start my days off with a trip down memory lane. My favorite sharmutas!
MonkeyBugg71

Love them!

These two are my definite Tuesday and Friday starters…it’s like sitting around with old friends. Keep it up!
djeejhd

Good show

I don’t agree of everything they say, which is fine. I actually find that good because I like to listen to different options. Very interesting and fun show.
Honda75

Stefanie complains…again…shocker

Instead of “For Crying Out Loud” let’s rename the podcast to “Stefanie Crying Out Loud” or “Stefanie complaining Out Loud” or just “Stefanie complains”.
JennyfromOhio

Adios!

My time has come to stop listening. I can only hear complaints about taking your kids to Dr’s office, making lunches, changing schools, etc, once,maybe, twice. I have enjoyed listening since Stephanie joined. It’s probably me, I’ve aged out.
Reddirtjen

Listen for Lynette

Lynette is great. Stephanie is a Karen. She is as Anti-American as they come. If you have a flag outside of your house she’ll relate you to Trump, she has Trump derangement syndrome. She complains about everything under the sun. It’s exhausting. Hard to give up because of Lynette so I just turn the volume down with Stephanie talks.
Ukknight

Funny and Irreverent

I’ve been listening since the kids were little. It’s fun and lighthearted, they have great chemistry. The longer you listen the more likeable they both become. I love Stephanie and have no idea what all the negative reviews are about. And btw, neither of them are SAHMs, so the people who have an issue with that clearly only listened once.
Sell out like Kimmel

Gold diggers !!!!!!

Horrible pod cast
Shamrock smiles ☘️

Don’t miss listening !!

Relatable , likable and funny podcast . I’m hooked .
Ehiney

Ok

Beware, Stephanie is a helicopter parent who thinks the world needs to change according to her kids needs. Lynette is funny and stories about the kids are fun.
Kelnh

Nope

How does Lynnette live in LA her whole life and not know the difference between Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach?! Spoiler alert—they’re not close to each other. Oblivious much?
