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.

    My favorite
    I love this podcast because it feels like listening to two best friends, and it makes me feel like part of their friendship! They share so many things in common with each other—and with me—which makes it even more enjoyable.
  • Big James From O Block
    Texas girl pov
    This is the worst listening experience I’ve ever had.
  • buckkky
    These are 2 of the
    Dumbest people I’ve ever heard talk into a microphone.
  • ATX mom4
    Retire already
    Listened since all their kids were 4+ yrs old….so boring now, lots of dog talk, repeating stories over and over, what tv shows they’re watching…. Blah blah blah. Time to retire.
  • Hallie's Mom
    I can’t anymore
    This used to be good, but is sooooo boring now. I love hearing about their kids (my favorite). Stephanie takes way too long to tell a story. LYNETTE just laughs and agrees.
  • alieskyyyyyyyyyyyyy
    I love y’all!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for YEARS, love these ladies!
  • Reddirtjen
    Can’t do it anymore
    Used to love this show, listened because of Lynette.. but her kowtowing to SWT is not tolerable any longer.
  • Cupcake 51
    Stand on your own 2 feet.
    I’m a long time listener. I remember when Lynette had her own opinion and could stand in her own two feet. But, now things have gone south. Lynette just goes along with whatever Stephanie says, offers nothing new. Banter between two people is healthy. If you are real friends you should be able to do that without fearing the other person. Lynette, Adam is on his show trashing you, speak up on that, don’t let him make you sound like a horrible person/mom. We know you’re a good person.
  • 02Fireman
    I am now dumber for listening.
    These two morons have to be among the dumbest humans on the planet. Lynnette is the biggest gold digging piece of trash I have ever heard. The other one I think has severe mental problems. I genuinely think I lost I.Q. Points listening to them. Scientists in the future will study this podcast and wonder how they survived and didn’t suffocate from forgetting to breathe while they slept.

    War
    Why did I waste my time listening to the war history? BORING!!
  • samtha3133
    Love these 2
    Feels like you’re hanging out with 2 friends, love their stories and overall vibes. Great show, highly recommend
  • ram0513
    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.
  • Keepn-it-real
    Mental Illness
    Stef’s whole personality is her kids MANY diagnoses… and now even the new school isn’t working out? Newsflash: Stef is the problem 🤡
  • 303-lady
    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.
  • pospods
    LYNETTE IS Spoiled and Entitled!
    And that’s how she raised her children!
  • Socal Sally
    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.
  • JustCurioussss
    Swt
    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.
  • kcskiz
    Come on, come on, come on……
    Enough with the ill placed Brightspeed internet commercial! Love you both!!
  • MissPerhaps
    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.
  • AK🤷🏼‍♀️
    Task Rabbit!!
    Hi guys- use Task Rabbit for handyman and so much more ;)
  • Liddycent
    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.
  • 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.
  • benny bee Rochester NY

    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. 😅
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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!
  • mking98
    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!

    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

    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.
