Bad audio

Jenelle
This podcast would be excellent if Jenelle would STOP talking all over the top of everyone else. That kind of thing is fine on occasion but she does it continuously. She has great input sometimes but her constant interjection comes off as extremely disrespectful to everyone else in the room. If she would just back it down a little.

Lip smacking and mouth noises are distracting!
Very distracting to listen to Clayton’s slurping, lip smacking and chewing. I had to stop listening to this podcast all together, I’m sorry.
