Customer Reviews
Your new fave
I am a former AAMH listener who happened to stumble across this podcast. It's even better than the old podcast! Josie and Mel are entertaining af.
Makes my ears bleed
They sound like Jamie private school girl.
So happy to have these zesty ladies back!
I am coming over from the big S for this! I loved AAMH so much, and was so sad when it ended. I recently discovered this new one, and was so salty that I missed out on the whole first season, but it means I can binge is now. Mel and Josie are fabulous, and Mel’s bangs are the envy of any woman who has or wants bangs. Love this show!
