Shawn is being very critical and not letting him explain or get through his explanation and saying she completely dis... more

  • Andrew is so whiny

    Omgggggg I love Shawn and Andrew but holy cow, Andrew is so whiny lately and I cannot keep listening to this series. He clearly is insecure or is trying too hard to be intelligent???? Idk. It’s just not fun to listen to, so stop it.
