  • The title is correct

    The hosts are so f-ed up. They know nothing yet feel free to insult and disrespect other people’s religion. It’s f-ed up how ignorant they are. The stories they cover have been covered in a lot more intelligent way by many other podcasts. There no need to listen to these self superior women demeaning Asian religion.

  • Grammar

    I love this podcast. It’s equal parts f-ed up, informative, and entertaining!

    HOWEVER, the grammar is often absolutely atrocious!!

    In the Russ McKamey episode, the hosts site how bad his grammar is, laugh about it and make fun of him. It’s cringy, because less than three minutes later they BOTH keep saying he “drug” someone through the mud. It’s “dragged,” never “drug,” and they keep saying it, and it hurts my ears.

    This is just one instance of many where they sound inarticulate. I will continu... more

  • Lost in the weeds

    Ashley is all over the place & interjects a lot of her own thoughts & feelings into the story & constantly forgets what she was originally talking about. The various other co host have to constantly remind her of names, places, the point. She diagnosis just about everyone as narcissistic & throws the word around so much it’s lost its meaning. Listening to her tell a story is equivalent to a distracted toddler telling you something. There is little to no research done on the cases & it’s just Ash... more

Q: What happened at 3 a.m.?
It's because there's the father, the son, the Holy Spirit, it's the Holy Trinity. So the devil uses three because he's mocking the Holy Trinity.

Q: What was it that really kind of was your driver this time to write this book and put it out there?
I needed answers for myself about why I did not get what I wanted from life. I also realized that if I was suffering, other people might be too, and I wanted to provide education and insights to help others.

Q: Could you just for our audience, we might not know a lot about that term, what you define it as or what it is defined as, and then how it affects or creates these types of dynamics in relationships?
Co-dependency is often tied to people-pleasing, where one partner tries to make the other happy while neglecting their own needs. Both parties become unhealthy for each other because neither gets their needs met.
