  • I’m learning so much!

    I agree, she is the normal one. But also! I love getting to learn more about plants and other possible things to avoid that could kill me. Tbh, I have been searching for books on this subject. Oddly difficult to find at my local book stores.

  • Let her speak!

    Becca clearly knows stuff and does research, but can her co-host stop interrupting her every other sentence? It’s frustrating and enough to get me to quit listening.
