  • Missing the “story” part

    As to why they record people’s stories for this show is beyond me because in a 15min ep includes ~maybe~ 60 whole seconds of actual recording. Just make it a host-read story show and dont bother recording the ppl the story is about. It’s like host-splaining instead of man-splaining
