Love the podcast, sorry Scott you could be a little more gracious

Love from down under 🇦🇺 love the podcast and both your different takes. Just some feedback from a female listener, Scott hasn’t come across as overly supportive of Kara’s book, the jabs kinda come across as jealousy - just saying. This is in light of the fact that Kara comes across as gracious and supportive of Scott in general.

In short Scott gas your girl up brother ✌️
