  • Y’all aight

    I bought an iPhone so I’m leaving another review. Also, I wanted to let Russ know that I’m actively refusing to wear my PRESCRIPTION sneakers because the only options are sketchers and new balance. I told my podiatrist he can talk to Russ if he has a problem with it. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ #IdRatherCutMyFeetOff

    I came across your podcast a couple of months ago and have binged it every since! Hey I finally made it to 2025. I am constantly telling my husband about the two of you like you are my best friends. The charisma and rapport y’all have keeps me coming back for more! Jess sometimes I want to throw something at Russ for you but then he turns on that accent and charm and it lets all of us see why you put up with him! Thank you for being real and true to yourselves!!
