I was looking for Chris's performance from the backers party and couldn't find it. I watched some of his other videos and thought they were incredible. Can anyone help with where to find his live performance from the road hard party?

I agree… Plus it would give Chris something of his own to plug for a change…

Alison, what the hell?!?! Fertility treatments? You've been married for a matter of months and you're going to start fertility treatments? My wife and i were married five years before she got pregnant with our first kid, then she took the pill for a few years because we didn't want kids that close together. And once she stopped taking the pill she was pregnant within a year. There is a very small window every month where you can get pregnant and sometimes it takes time, but jumping right to fertility treatment is so disappointing. Nature knows what it's doing. This is why the rate of twins and triplets has sky rocketed. Don't let Adam convince you that fertility treatment is the only way. All you need to do is have unprotected sex with your husband. It doesn't need to be over complicated. No ovulation tests or timing or injections. Just good old fashion boning. Do you really think that there is some problem just because you didn't get pregnent after trying for couple months? The worst part of the Adam Carolla podcast was when Teressa wen't all baby crazy and I was so happy when she left and you came on, don't go down the same dark path… Let nature take its course.

Did she say she was having treatments??? Or just seeing a specialist??? Because they aren't the same thing… There's a difference between getting the treatment and just making sure everything is in 'working order'…

Was your wife nearly 40 ? Did she also have underlying medical issues that vastly impact fertility. The reality of fertility is that unlike men who produce reasonably healthy sperm well into their forties and beyond, a women's likelihood of getting successfully pregnant DRASTICALLY drops after age 35 because every egg in our bodies is over 35 years old. If Alison and her husband sincerely want to have a family that is the biologic child of she and Daniel it would be very ill-advised to hope and pray and “have unprotected sex”. There is very little commonality between women in their 20's and early 30's and women over 35 and especially over 40 even without underlying medical issues. Additionally, if you have been a listener for a long time, you MUST know that Alison has some gynecological issues that can also dramatically reduce fertility. Do you get how annoying it would be for her to read some dudes comment of basically “go bang your husband” and my personal experience will be yours regardless of the vast difference between my wife and I and you and your husband. Sheesh

Going out and getting fertility treatments after a couple months of trying to get pregnant is a ridiculous idea, no matter how you justify it. And if she doesn't want “some dude's” opinion, she shouldn't put her personal business out into the world via podcast. Which she does. You on the other hand know nothing about me, my wife, our ages or our medical history, so you're judging me with way less information than I know about Alison. So you can go ahead and step down off the soapbox.
She said on the Adam Carolla podcast that they were starting the process.

Hahaha – well, given the “advice” you gave to Alison which was largely incorrect and almost entirely pedantic and ill-informed, I would say we all know a lot more about you than you think. And just like so many folks think they know something about Adam and Lynette from the character he plays for audiences …neither you or any of us know anything about Alison most particularly, how long she has been trying to get pregnant. Just because you know when she announced her marriage. Those two things aren't necessarily related … so if she is taking specific steps to have a child – you cannot possible know if those steps are appropriate. I'll keep the soap box for guys like you thanks. And as Honorarius pointed out to you -going through a gynecological work-up isn't 'receiving treatments' – so as Honor implied, maybe you should listen or have the big words they use broken down for you. I don't think Alison tried to justify anything and most certainly I did not. I simply said trying to get pregnant from simple “boning y our husband (your words) is like trying to walk from Los Angeles to NYC, certainly some will succeed, but almost none who slipped on a pair of keds and fanny-pack and hit the road. If you want to succeed, you'd best invest in the proper equipment and knowledge or they'll find your body somewhere in the desert.

Wow. You care way too much about my opinion. Yes, having sex is what nature provided for us to reproduce. If that is too difficult for you, then maybe nature is trying to tell you something. Maybe our world is better off without letting over-sensitive, people who think they know everything breed. And i responded to “Honor” to what Honor said. Should make perfect sense to anyone who can read.
I posted my opinion on a public forum. How about you go get a life. Jesus…
You are comparing having sex to walking from LA to NY with nothing but a pair or keds and a fanny pack? Do you really think that nature and all of human evolution got our reproductive process that wrong? That simply having sex in order for our species to reproduce is not the right tools for the job? A group of doctors and scientists have completely outsmarted nature and found a better way to breed? You're a sad, sad person.

I think it's great that you are sharing your experience with getting pregnant in such an open and honest manner. There are definitely people out there who are going through it and feeling alone in it. And, I do believe that your sharing your experiences is helping someone out there to not feel alone in the process. Also, you are hilarious and a great interviewer. It isn't often that people can be really funny without being mean. But, I think you have nailed it!

Gosh, let me just apologize for getting you upset. You are absolutely entitled to your opinion and this is a open (though moderated) forum. I am sorry if my thoughts were conveyed in a manner that seemed disrespectful. I'm not sure who was the over-sensitive “people” who think they know everything in your last post, but I certainly do not feel I know everything, nor am I “overly sensitive”, my (now adult) children will attest to the fact that their Mom was not the person to run to if you're having an emotional meltdown. On the other hand, they both were raised to make sure you are sure of any facts you bring forth in a discussion with others, because making broad generalization based mainly on their sample size of “their own life” will cause them to have their intellect questioned. Again, I never intended to cause you to become upset over the topic of female fertility as it pertains to a very large population of American women who delayed starting their families until well into their 30's and are one by one finding out the heart breaking message that while you may still be able to have a family, it isn't probably going to be as easy or a cheap as it would have been back in the day when we were co-ed's with one too many wine coolers and a quiet spot at the party. It is unfortunate, but it is also biology so to pretend that a 28 year old and a 38 year old is the same reproductive partner just simply isn't true. I think it was atypically compassionate of Adam to offer Alison a paragraph from their parenting book rather than sit by and watch Alison become as disappointed and frustrated as Lynette became. It is ironic to most older Mom's that the one thing we spent most of our life “fearing” on some level (the idea that every sex act was reproductive roulette) turns out to be pretty much a 180 if you are trying to get pregnant in your late thirties and/or forties. There is technology to assist, but the longer you wait, the less effective even the best technology is.
So, I apologize to you for my tone, which was unwarranted. But Alison has many female fans in her own demographic, so it is helpful when someone like her is open about the reality behind the myth the last generation of us (women) bought into wholesale – that you can have it all, whenever you want to have it. It is important for women who are now in their early twenties to think about how important having their own biological children is to them, and factor that into their career plans just as significantly as going to the right college, law school, medical school or business school. Because you CAN get an MBA at any point in your life, you cannot conceive a child at any point in your life – so it's a great thing when women like Alison discuss their experiences “in the public realm”. Take care and I hope you will accept my apology and clarification.

Yes, because nature gets it right all the time. Nature must know something about meth heads and abusers that the rest of us don't, because they seem to be the ones who get pregnant the easiest. FYI, reproductive endocrinologists recommend starting the testing process if you're over the age of 35 and haven't gotten pregnant after 6 months of unprotected sex. Neither of us knows how long Alison and her husband have been trying – that's not our business, nor is it anyone's place to judge them for wanting to be proactive about their reproductive health.
Alison, thank you so much for your openness on this topic. I don't know if you're considered infertile by any definition, but from what you've revealed on your podcast, it sounds like you have at least a couple of fertility strikes against you. I, too, have severe endometriosis and started trying to conceive when I was passed the age of optimal fertility. I eventually needed IVF to get pregnant. It can be a lonely, frustrating, and traumatic journey, but it helps knowing we aren't alone. Thank you!

First, you only think that meth heads get pregnant more because you hear about it in the media. There is a far higher percentage of non drug users who get pregnant. Also, drug addicts don't care about their health so they're probably less likely to use protection when they should. Thanks for taking a logical point and completely saturating it with idiocracy.
Also, if you want something to be nobody else's business, don't broadcast it on an internet radio show.
I guess the moderators didn't like my previous reply. so I'll sum it up. Everything you just said is wrong. Good luck with your narrow views.
