  • My comfort podcast!

    I have been following Nicole since the early days of Instagram and was so excited when this podcast launched! Nicole & Maria’s Philly dialect reminds me of an old friend of mine and I feel like I’m hanging out with my girlfriends when I listen. When I run out of new episodes I start back over again, I play MKD all night long!!! Hands down favorite podcast.

  • It’s a drinking game!

    I found these two ladies funny, however, the number of times they say “like” in an episode is a bit ridiculous. Somebody could easily get smashed 10 times over if they were to do a shot or take a drink every time one of them says like. Otherwise, it is funny and entertaining!
