  • You like. Lack people cause you like to feel superior

    Made Mormon wives about white women. She is so jealous!!! What about the bad girls club? And all the black trash shows made by black people that you like? And didn’t you watch Mormon wives? You hate them because you’re fat and they are skinny and beautiful.

  • Better Sound Please

    Love this pod and can’t get enough of the banter between you and Raheel but the sound quality is terrible and is getting worse. Please invest in some better quality mics and sound mixing. :-(
