Who is Mel Robbins and what is 'The Let Them Theory'?
At any point in any given day, this woman has clogged up your feed like no other, I am sure. Her name is Mel Robbins. She has a book out. It's called The Let Them Theory. We're going to take this thing apart. If you've already spent money on it, I would request a refund. Uh, and the hugely popular theory that she's been selling, um, on multiple platforms though, these many months. Uh, so if you haven't had an introduction to her, oh, by the way, before we even get into that, I have an update for you from the last show. And it is a Jon Hamm update because apparently he did not love what we had to say about him. Surprise, surprise. so in the wake of that segment the daily mail where i call them twice a week reached out to john ham and they called so a young reporter called john ham's cell phone directly now who among you answers an unidentified number on your cell phone Jon Hamm does, proving my point that I don't think he's very bright.
He picks up the phone and the Daily Mail reporter asks if he cares to comment on our explosive blow by blow, no pun intended, of his savage, what I believe to be a near fatal beating of a fraternity pledge when he was in college. john ham tells the daily mail he was offended to have been contacted by a lowly reporter who are you calling the professionally handsome john ham in the middle of the day um so he says to the reporter i think you should call my rep who are you this is inappropriate it's a very odd choice for you to call me i'd say it's a very odd choice to like beat someone so severely they nearly lose a kidney but You know, tomato, tomato. He continues, they are claims that have been around for years. No, I don't want to respond. That's not a denial. Again, back to being offended that this no-name nobody called Jon Hamm directly on his cell phone. Who do you think you are, Tina Fey? I'm a little bit offended that you called my personal line. That's why we have representatives, don't you know anything?
Shades of Gayle King, I've been to space, you haven't. Talk to me about it when you come back. Okay, whatever. I'm loving this for Jon Hamm. I hope this sticks to him like Velcro and never goes away. I hope he continues to issue tone deaf, remorseless, non-denials about this horrific act he perpetrated and you know when i was reading all of these comments and my editor had emailed me about this um it reminded me of an interview this is a story kathy griffin told years ago i felt like i heard it on the howard stern show i could be wrong but we did find her recollection of being at a very intimate very starry a-list hollywood dinner years ago, and who walks in but Jon Hamm, who she knows from like comedy circles. He's kind of adjacent to her crowd. So he's not an unknown person to her. And she sees him walk in and he's shooting Mad Men. He's at the height of Mad Men fame. He's directing an episode. So he's high on this now because he's not just a mere actor. He's a director. He's an auteur.
