  • Jillian has become insufferable

    Long-time listener but over the past few years Jillian has gotten worse and worse. I can’t figure out if she got affected because of the popularity or she’s always been like this, I just never noticed. She used to be funny, but over the years she hates EVERYTHING and comes off genuinely annoyed by Patrick at times. And he seems to just hang on everything she says, she stifles him. Patrick, blink twice girl!! J wants to be relevant so badly, but it’s just not happening, and she has zero humor abo... more

  • Insufferable

    I’ve listened for years but Gillian is insufferable. I’m finally unsubscribing. She literally says she doesn’t care if a rich person gets murdered. Like what? You let the pendulum swing wayyyy too far girl

  • Deterioration

    This pod has just gone down hill in quality and content for the last two years. As a very left voting and acting queen, even for me the hosts are so judgy about the most minute things and almost feel like “fast food woke” as in they don’t actually really want to tackle issues but want to judge others, it’s just quick bits of insincere nonsense

  • Great!

    I like that it’s got a bit of humour (without being disrespectful of victims). It makes it a better bedtime listen than some that are a bit darker. Cant give them 5 stars because of the snake oil sponsers. Which seems at odds with their values. I know it’s literally how they pay their bills so it’s difficult but these companies are wellness/diet culture grifters. I also need them to listen to the many podcasts about people who have survived the abuse of the lds/mormon “church”
