  • Loren’s pretty but…

    I respectfully don’t get how shallow this podcast and the topics are and lack a lot of depth when it comes to her opinions vs facts. I hung in a long as I could only because she’s gorgeous black young woman. I wish her well and much success!!!

  • Great Show!!!!

    I am happy to see you grow. I always felt you should have been the 3rd host in the breakfast club. I am glad you were able to make your own lane.

    Please just be a little more organized with your thoughts and words. Please keep cutting your with Charla. It’s hilarious.

You get to talking, then get sidetracked with opinion then it causes you to repeat a lot of information, causing my brain to say “GET TO THE POINT!” I know you say talking too much has gotten you far, but let’s have real weight behind these words, make sure all... more
