  • Decent podcast, insane amount of ads

    The actual podcast content is fine and interesting, but literally half of the time for each episode is made up of the most annoying ads in the world. I get the need to monetize the podcast, but I almost cannot listen to this because of the sheer amount of extraordinarily annoying ads. Only listen if your hands are free to fast forward through the nerve-shredding ads.

The California Girls: Ep. 7, We Definitely Play Mind Games

The Athlete Whisperer: Ep. 7, Hide Your Money and Your Old Rich Men
Q: Do you think Peggy will ever stop scamming?
No. They don't know how to do anything different. They don't know how to do anything different. I don't think it's mental illness.
