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.

    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.
  • Keepn-it-real
    Yikes
    Stef tells the SAME stories over and over again. I knew she was dumb but is she okay?!?! These poor kids. She has fukked them up so bad. She has exploited her “trans” kid Matilda/ Xander for clout FOR YEARS. I’ve heard she has munchausen… It’s no wonder they are all in therapy… now Lynette is talking about her teen daughter Natalia’s sex life and Sonny’s porn habit?!?! Jon calling his daughter Elby a “size queen” is disgusting.🤮
  • Newyorker21**
    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.

    Awesome show! I love when Stenie laughs. So funny
  • dfghyybnjjfsdr
    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. 😅
  • Cupcake 51
    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.
  • kcskiz
    I want NO more
    The T -Mobile commercial was repeated 6 times in last episode, it’s really annoying!
  • Aaron’s Comp
    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.
  • ram0513
    Stupid
    The only people dumber than the hosts are the losers who pay for shout outs. Yikes
  • Nerdrawker
    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!
  • gmf0421
    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!
  • samtha3133
    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.
  • SFBayAreaNative
    School talk
    Insulting at times
  • Centralcoast33!
    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.
  • Dotten1212
    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.
  • woodoaks
    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!
  • Ribi06
    Love!
    Love the pod!
  • Alison Rosen Fan
    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.
  • Indy OG Listener
    Never miss an episode!

  • AllisonDrew
    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
    Love you so hard
    So glad to have an extra episode Patrick and Dylan are amazing andThat other guy what’s his name jk

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

    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!
  • Socal Sally
    More Lynette…and Auntie Wendy.
    So refreshing to hear a genuine conversation between Lynette and and Wendy. Didn’t miss the constant complaining about every business in the valley, the not funny schtick about adulting being hard.
  • 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.
  • MissPerhaps
    It’s okay a little 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.
  • 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?
