  • Peg and Mel

    I listened to both Peg and Mel’s interviews. Mel came off as condescending and arrogant. He’s actually quite offensive.

    I am Peg’s age, also divorced with no big desire to get re-married..so I get it. She did get preachy about her age and wisdom…which got tiresome, but she also had a point. I think the two of them are very proud of their careers and feed off each other’s inflated confidence. I wish them well but I think Peg ultimately deserves better and will get tired of Mel’s lack of dep... more

    I enjoy Ashley and Ben but can not be bothered with all these other podcasts showing up. I fast forward thru the ridiculous amount of commercials. Never ending!

  • Peg Interview

    You felt upset by the way that Peg downplayed your wisdom, but after re-listening, you kept hammering the fact that they did not get engaged and their love story did not feel real. She even told you your comment was hurtful. I felt that she was backed into a corner and had to continually defend her relationship. You should definitely have lightened up on those types of questions after she already had to answer it once.

  • Way to go Ben!!

    Just finished listening to Mel’s interview. He really is missing the point of a few of your questions and didn’t really come off well in some moments. I really have to give Ben a round of applause for not backing down and letting Mel walk over you guys. You pushed back at the right moments and put him in his place. I love how you held your own when he tried to compare your time as a bachelor as to why he was so rude to the kids on the show. You really had Ashley’s back and stepped in at the ri... more

  • Mel Owen’s Interview

    I felt bad for Ben and Ashley when the interviewer Mel. He was very condescending to them. They held their own and kept it professional. Ben pushed back in Mel when he said of course he should have known about him. Just google me. Come on Mel! I hope that is just Mel’s way. I just found him very antagonistic. I loved his other interviews with Peg. This one struck me the wrong way. Kudos to Ben an Ashley.
