    I LOVED this podcast! I’d just skip the ones with Mama Nikki. Unfortunately, now that she’s permanent, I don’t really listen anymore. I tried again today and the interruptions got worse, you couldn’t even get through a sentence. Like, why are we talking about broRilla?? Idk. I miss when it was just the sisters.
