  • Not very productive

    I listened to the episode with Alena, she seemed great but I didn’t really appreciate the hosts body shaming and trying to get her to say something bad about her pro athlete clients.

  • SJW clown show

    This podcast is a clown show sjw circle jerk. The twink host is a total loser. Boring content. Just a bunch of complaining and sissy boys crying about tattooing. Don’t waste your time listening to this garbage.
