This is the simplest and purest form of rage bait you will ever find. Getting rich off of the collective rage is disgusting. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
So, the episode with Peppermint made me so emotional. I cried every time Mary Jo talked, her empathy & understanding to what a trans woman went thru is mind blowing. This gives me hope for our country. God bless you Chad for doing this. We got you Mom!!!!
I am sitting here marveling at how your parents created such wonderful kids when they are so horrible. Also I knew Hailey was an Aries!! Love that girl
Thanks for having these conversations! I really appreciate that you all do this for us. Refreshing to know Iβm not alone being a Liberal daughter with Trumpy parents. π
This podcast is needed for those who have no real life connection to a maga lunatic.
The mental gymnastics a maga supporter is consciously willing to preform is well documented in this under-rated gem of a podcast.
