  • Somewhat enjoyable

    Enjoyed listening to them but they tend to laugh a lot and mock and joke about the people and situations they are in. Like what’s funny about someone dying ??? They’re just two losers with nothing intelligent to say so they just laugh and mock. It’s giving mean girls !!!!!!!
