    I think talking about the kids is a step too far even if they’re not kids anymore. Leave Nia alone.

  • Rehearse First

    Kelly reading is painful. It would be incredibly helpful if Kelly would review script first.

  • Better audio quality before mics

    Exactly that. Ever since getting mics the sound is awful. I might not even make it through this current episode (4/13/26) because of the bad audio quality

Q: What were your first impressions of Kelly and I?
When I came in the show, the show had been going for three seasons and it was great... I was intimidated, definitely, because I was like, you know, they're not new cast members.
