skokooooooo

used to be a pb girly through and through but since the new pod with zane and heath i feel like they save all their crazy, funny, silly stories for them. i miss the romi and losh memories and idk now it just feels like they are narrating their daily vlogs. and idk if this is common but since remi got engaged she doesn’t get like “raunchy” anymore lol. maybe thats just growing in ur 30s but i find most episodes soooo boring
Ok podcast

~*Jamie*~

This podcast contains casual girl chats with a lot of ads. within the last year or so the ads have gotten ridiculously long and half the time I can’t tell if they are “advertising”macys or actually chatting about it. 😂 I’ll reach for it if there’s an interesting topic or guest but I can’t say I learn much or get much gossip from it.
Alisha …

Happy for you that your mental health has gotten a lot better. Currently, listening to Aspyn’s episode and feeling so excited to finally have her on PB. But feeling annoyed with the number of times the long awaited guest is interrupted by Alisha. I find it rude the conversation needs to take a turn to be about Alisha and she goes on and on using run-on sentences and uses “like” every other word. 4 stars for Remi, but -1 star for Alisha.
