  • Lost a listener

    I’ve enjoyed this podcast since day one but can now no longer listen as I feel very unwelcome as a non-POC listener. Baselessly accusing a judge of being racist for not giving a handshake is so wild. I could care less that hosts choose teams based on race or frequently discuss race and politics but this crosses a line that didn’t need to be there.

  • Why explicit?

    Podcasts & cooking shows is a brilliant idea, and I really want to love this podcast! I don't care a thing about Ify's sexual take on women & wish the hosts would care less/ talk less about it as well.
