  • Their humor? Mediocre at best.

    Imagine being 37—still not successful, intelligent, or attractive. And worst of all, not even funny. Their biggest flex? Calling it a ‘victory’ when they bully someone online just for having a different opinion.

  • Went downhill quick

    I started listening to this podcast because I genuinely loved learning more about the behind the scenes of our show. Over the last year, this show just turned in 2 grown woman pretty much begging for listeners to “send them a drink” AKA money and complaining about having to show up to record a 1 hour podcast every week. They exhibit pretty much zero responsibility and zero accountability for not being able to show up and do their (very simple) job.
