  • Great show… but the Ads

    I really enjoy listening to this show but that ads are insufferable. I can’t listen to this while doing dishes or driving because it feels like every few minutes I have to fast forward through 5-10 minutes worth of ads at a time. It feels incredibly greedy of the hosts to have that many ads

  • The Ad’s

    I do not understand all of the ads. I listen to at least a dozen podcast and this is the only one with ads before the podcast starts and at least 6-8 ads 10 minutes in and more further into the podcast. There is at least 1/2 of ads. Why? Could you explain? Your podcast used to be my absolute favorite now I only listen occasionally.

  • Stop reacting

    It’s super understandable that both of your exits from the show were emotionally charged periods of your lives but it’s super strange that you guys tend to try and one-up each other about who was hurt the most, who was treated worse, and who’s kids have suffered the most.

    Of course we could never understand all of this fully but I hope you can someday figure out how to use this trauma as a way to build deeper relationships with each other.

    I hope that therapy will help to heal you both.

    Kelly really is a dingbat and Christi was so evil on the show. Don’t understand how they are so loved by the fanbase

It likely started to bleed into personal stuff, but they still referred to each other as sisters.
Psych Ward Homework
Q: Did it get harder with the girls as they got older?
At times, yes, because they would be like, shut up. However, they were used to the drama and knew the vibe.

Slap Talk with Annie
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.
