Dax Unplugged: Exes, Podcasts & Parenting Unfiltered

Dax Shepard BioSnap a weekly updated Biography. Dax Shepard has been especially candid and visible these past days across podcasts, social media, and entertainment headlines. The biggest story swirling is Dax’s frank on-air conversation with his ex-girlfriend Briegh Morrison. He invited her on the debut of his new podcast series "Mom’s Car," where they cracked open their nine-year relationship, the breakup, what followed, and how Kristen Bell managed the unconventional dynamic of an ex-girlfriend being around their home as they started dating. Shepard spoke openly about the “wild” contrast between Bell’s discomfort with exes versus Morrison’s presence and admitted there were moments he wondered if it was hurtful.

These episodes have cemented his role as a podcast mogul with nearly a thousand episodes to his name. His podcast persona remains a hot topic, especially with the launch of "Mom’s Car" which pairs nostalgia for adolescent mischief with celebrity candidness—think delivery runs in Kristen Bell’s car with best friend Aaron Weakley and a rotating cast of guests. Clips and behind-the-scenes shots from these podcast tapings have started circulating, feeding speculation about more video content coming soon.
