  • PSA

    People like Alyssa Rafael do not deserve to be praised especially when they’re acting like horrible human beings. In case you didn’t know, Alyssa just recently used her platform to dox an innocent service worker. She lied to the point of getting this person fired unfairly ruining her only source of income. And I wish I could say it stopped there but she not only bullied this person but got a bunch of her followers to send death threats to this person. Yeah, what a great role model.

    And once she ... more

I always look forward to a new episode every week and can’t... more

  • Haven’t been able to find another podcast…

    I liked until I came upon this one. Best one I’ve heard. These two are very entertaining. I think Alyssa can sing. Not sure about the AJ guy, but it wouldn’t put it past me. Can’t wait for some other topics too. 5 out of 5 and if I could rate it any higher I would. Fantastic like Fantasmic

  • Great lighthearted podcast!

    This podcast is a great and lighthearted idea. If you’re looking for a podcast that’s interesting and fun but not as heavy or mentally taxing as many of the others out there, this is a great choice!
