    Still love you two but I hope you will consider keeping your old format- the new format is too long.

  • Old format was better

    New format is way too long for both news and fix episodes vs before when you heard just the right amount of both. :(

  • So much fun!🤩 but they seemed to Run out of people

    It used to be so much fun but lately they are “fixing” people who don’t seem to really need it. Also I think they should do more research of the subjects instead of making wrong guesses.
