Lol

Absolutely love this podcast but I promise you we don’t need to hear from Catherine’s husband Brad ever again, he adds absolutely nothing lol. Catherine already talks about him enough.

Please keep catherine off the mic

I’ve listened to this podcast from the beginning and love Chelsea’s insight and guests. However, Catherine is much better as a producer than an on-mic talent. I’m sure she means well, but she is outrageously annoying to listen to.

Sweeteaaa ,

Dump Catherine!

Chelsea is an acquired taste and has definitely evolved and strives to be more inclusive and progressive which makes her comedy even better. She’s authentic and tells it like it is and that’s why we love her! What makes this show painful to listen to is Catherine who tries really hard to be relevant but gives such out-of-touch advice and mediocre at best commentary. Keep Catherine off the mic and behind the scenes. Wishing for a better co-host!
