  • Mmm

    I wish Fran and Dustin would stop interrupting Assante. It’s rude and disrespectful.

  • Heavy Conversation

    I’m glad to hear this subject discussed by you guys. As a fat person, I am leery of these conversations. You guys humanized the issue. I can only imagine this conversation on some other podcasts. There would have been a lot of fake comradeship mixed heavily with patriarchal, supposedly societal norms. You guys are the exception. I felt only authenticity. You know the saying “sometimes you don’t want to meet your faves.” This doesn’t apply to you. I wouldn’t feel any anxiety meeting y’all.

  • I love the show but …

    I looove the friend zone! Dustin and Fran mesh soooo well! Assante reminds me of their little step brother who is always singing in the background .. sometimes I wish he wouldn’t sing while they’re talking 😩 it takes away from the convo.. but besides that, this is my favorite podcast!
