  • But but but

    This has to be my favorite podcast, BUT boy Andy was breaking my eardrums on December 4. Felt like he was yelling at every turn, I could barely make it through. BTW probably makes a difference that I listen to it before bedtime when I need to calm down. Just turn it down a notch Andy, please.

Edit - I love scented laundry soap too , but it’s harmful to us , our pets , and the planet. So I was really surpris... more
