  • my only con..

    don’t mean to be a hater, I don’t like writing negative reviews. Been listening for a long time but hearing G continue to patronize B is starting to bug me. The arrogance is off putting. some may call it sarcasm but I just think she’s mean. 🫢Other than that you guys are crushing it, I love the pod!
