Well spoken and professional hosts. Caring and great about warning when they are about to tell about anything upsetting. 💕
I have to add that- YES!
You DO have listeners in Western PA. Not only am I familiar with Giant Eagle, but I know-and have seen- the world’s largest tea 🫖 kettle 😁
Pretty much half of every episode is an ad. I know you can pay for ad free but this is insane. Barely any content because it’s all ads
Use to be my favorite, but lately Ricky ruins it for me. Too mouthy and sarcastic. Lose the language. I hate to say that because I like that they are a husband and wife team, but it’s not working for me anymore for me.

I recently started an episode in which they talked ab... more
Love these two. They are wonderful cohosts and seem to genuinely enjoy each other. Fantastic rapport and I enjoy them so much.
