The Read is an amazing podcast! It has definitely been a comfort in dark times for me, mentally. Love seeing both of them grow in their careers. I love when Crissle goes off! And I so appreciate Fury’s opened about his mental health journey.
I’ve been listening to The read since 2018. Love y’all deep!❤️
