  • Reels are the Best Part

    I really like the host. The reels on other platforms made me take a listen. After 3 episodes I had enough. The subjects are braggarts and over exaggerate facts, but when asked hard questions don’t know or can’t remember. The SM reels tell the best part of the interviews.
