Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 7.1k ratings
  • Misandrist Episode loaded with terrible misogynistic questions

    ‘…can you really accomplish this movement without the support and backing of men to move it forward?…’

    An actual paraphrased question from the host. Wild.

  • I’m confused

    Some of these headlines and perceived stories you’d think they are… the person gets on and laughs through telling the whole story. I don’t get it. Like the girl that was sexual trafficked “I was so dumb hahaha, I didn’t know hahaha”… what, you can’t be that stupid and naive to think anyone believes you had no idea and this is remotely funny…

    I want to like this show, but it’s literally one long advertisement. It’s cool getting money but way too much TBH. Ruins the content.

I Survived a Plane Crash And Was Trapped For 54 Hours
Q: How did you manage water and hydration during those hours, and what kept you going?
I found small water sources in the duffel bag and later drank water from improvised sources, while rationing and using discipline to keep going, convinced I would make it home to my family.
I Survived a Plane Crash And Was Trapped For 54 Hours
Q: What went through your mind during the crash and immediately after when you realized you were trapped?
I stayed focused on following training, accepted there was no quick escape, and began assessing how to position my body, preserve energy, and wait for rescue while maintaining hope for survival.
I Survived a Plane Crash And Was Trapped For 54 Hours
Q: Can you paint us a picture of your experience as a pilot and what led to the crash?
I was an experienced pilot with years of training; an engine failure forced me into an off-airport landing, and I chose a field, but the plane ended up crashing into pine trees and I was left trapped upside down in the cockpit.
I Survived Extreme Hoarding Conditions
Q: What impact did this experience have on your long-term outlook and coping strategies?
I've developed resilience and a commitment to keeping my own space clean; I still experience triggers and anxiety, but I now strive to break the cycle by creating a healthier home and mindset for myself.
I Survived Extreme Hoarding Conditions
Q: How did growing up in that environment affect your social life and relationships?
I craved normalcy and would avoid bringing people home, often staying with boyfriends or at friends' houses; the environment made social connections difficult and left me feeling embarrassed and isolated.
