  • Great info!

    I love hearing these stories. I have been divorced since 2018, after listening to all these people and what they’ve gone through, I don’t know if trying for a relationship is worth the potential for disaster and pain!

  • Please don’t apologize—we love the authenticity!

    Anyone upset about the hosts allowing people to be honest and vulnerable without judgement from hosts is insane. Mackenzie is so refreshingly authentic and wonderful. Just wish they didn’t feel the need to apologize. Angry loud people aren’t the actual bulk of listeners. Hanna please stop virtue signaling and doing 10 minutes of throat clearing before every opinion. We get it, you’re woke, your medal’s in the mail.

  • Very Entertaining

    Feel sorry for them that they have to apologise to the woke all the time. Be careful woke types…this is how censorship starts and freedom of speech erodes. If you don’t like the show find a podcast that doesn’t offend your particular sensibilities.

  • Unsubstantiated and Full of Bull.

    It’s funny to me that this podcast has so many followers but it makes sense. There’s a lot of story telling and very little fact checking. Enjoy the tangled web they weave.
