I found Makenzie’s videos a couple years ago and of course fell in love with her personality then discovered the pod pretty recently. It makes me feel so much better about my less than spectacular dating history. Oh boy do I have a story to submit. It makes the long nights at work go by so much faster and let me tell you the tea is always piping hot!

Don’t get me wrong, I do think they behaved poorly and the apology was even worse but I desperately needed something to listen to when I clean house and want to drown out my kids. The episodes are entertaining and the stories are crazy, some episodes probably embellished a little or a lot but whatever. So while every damn podcast is behind a paywall now I am having a hard t... more
Take the show to the gym, put in earbuds- I constantly add 20 more minutes on the elliptical because I can’t stop listening. Often cautionary tales - that can be empowering.
