  • Laughably Wrong and a waste of time

    I listened to the episode with SJ’s lawyers claiming these TP subpoenas are normal. They are not normal under these circumstances. Filing a contract case with John Does is an abuse of litigation and violates Rule 11. This is just PR and not educational or accurate. Calling himself a “legal expert” is a stretch beyond reason.

  • Unlistenable

    The format is boring and a chore to get through, and the self-proclaimed “comedian” host’s attempts at humor feel forced and off-putting.

  • Fun podcast

    I generally don’t follow celebrity gossip but had been seeing so many headlines about this Lively/Baldoni feud that I checked this podcast out. I figured I would just listen to the first episode to get the gist and move on but the podcast hosts got me hooked. Fun and entertaining with a good breakdown of what’s actually being said, not just social media memes and one liners.
