  • let tracy do more

    jess is the “mastermind” but the content is so stale. jess is too rehearsed and uncomfortable behind the mic. really would like tracy to take the lead more. take advice segments, listener q’s, something. a whole episode on feet is crazy.

  • Getting Stale

    The s*x stuff is getting so stale… Would love to hear something mature and real-life from these women, such as about motherhood, etc. The vulgarity is getting real old…..
