  • Avoid.

    I lasted 5 minutes listening to these vacuous queens punctuating every sentence with “like”, “slay” & “living their best life” before I turned it off. I knew it was going to be a low rent production when 1 started banging on about how much she’d had to drink. Not everyone should do a podcast.
