  • LOL

    I don’t LOL literally often especially these days but I do every.single.time I listen or watch this podcast. Even if I don’t know the guest, I’ll listen because Nicole gives me the shot of serotonin I need daily. I first found Nicole when my daughter was obsessed with watching Nailed It and I thought she was hysterical so when I found this podcast I knew I had to give it a shot and I am absolutely so glad I did! Keep it up!!!

  • Verbs that make you go hmmm

    Cross between talk and laugh, think and blink, love and pass out, it’s a podcast for the movers, sitters, and livers (yes the bile producers). It’s all very digestible.

  • I love Nicole but I hate misogyny

    I love this show but the most recent episode with Robby Hoffman was so disappointing. Robby always says the most misogynistic things. It’s real gross to me. “One hot one smart”?! Like you can’t be both.
