  • Like teen valley girls talking

    Ugh. I was excited to see the recent pod on Trader Joe’s however the first twenty minutes came across like the “Shweaty Balls” skit on SNL. Giggling, no substance, discussing the meaning of “private label” for over ten minutes at a grade school level, while providing hardly any insight in to the world of Trader Joe’s. I had to shut it off. Extremely disappointing

  • Come for the picks, stay for the vibes

    I almost never miss an episode. I would listen to these hosts rap about anything. From robot vacuums to bidets, their infectious personalities and joyful banter make any product category fun. And I always come away with useful info.

  • This kind of show has so much potential but…

    I’ve find it increasingly difficult to listen to these people talk, giggle, and and just waste my time. There is so much nonsense that I have to fast forward parts of just stop listening to the show.
