    Thank you for talking about how you are a Christian and your beliefs. Freedom of speech is our right. I love that you are talking about Charlie Kirk and backing him regardless of what others are saying. DO NOT let small insignificant people affect you. Those who want to unfollow because of your beliefs and views - well, good riddance. 10/10 podcast, you’re amazing.

  • Basic white chick

    Surface level “research” with uneducated opinions of true crime where there are actually real answers. Her take is always wrong. Go back to the ice cream stand. Stay in your wheelhouse. You aren’t good at this. Clearly has her family writing her reviews.
