  • THE best

    Symone & Eugene are my FAVORITE podcasters! And yes, Symone, I was watching when you hosted The Weekend and when you left so did I! You guys are so amazing, your content is always relevant and fun as well as relatable. I wish you guys were on more than once a week so I often double back until new episodes are released. So excited for you both and I wish you nothing but greatness here and all your endeavors! ✌🏾

  • No filler, no BS, no “weaves”

    Two people I always respected managed to get themselves on the airwaves together and I had high expectations. I was not disappointed. Thanks so much, you’re just great. You seem to cram so much into such a short space of time and you both do it with such aplomb and humour that it keeps me coming back. KEEP IT UP!
