    loud...big loud mouth on Bianca Martin. good grief! a bit too much, take it down a couple of notches.

    Why are you so xtra loud and your guests are speaking in normal volume. Listening to bianca’s speaking volume is like listening to an f-35 flying over and youcan’t turn down the volume on one’s device because then you can’t hear the guest speaking in normal volume. bianca you trigger my tinnitus just like the f-35 does. blahh
