Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 93 ratings
  • Hosts are mean and frankly stupid

    The amount that the hosts confidently get things straight up wrong without fact checking is astounding. It truly makes them sound so stupid.

    They are also unbelievably mean for no reason. Their loudest fans are on Reddit, a nasty environment created by the people there. Super disappointed overall.

    These ladies are hilarious and they do the best recaps of this show. It's a fair and honest assessment of a very complicated person . She's someone with a tremendous amount of flaws who's not a very nice person, who treats people horribly and hides behind PCOS as an excuse for her weight issues. These ladies do a great job & everyone should listen !!!!!

    I really enjoy this podcast and look forward to it every week! These women provide a combination of (much needed) criticism along with compassion, and they do it in a very entertaining and thorough way. It’s great to be able to hear discussions of this show because there have been almost none. Thank you
