Wow
Heidi has the sexiest voice ever.
Duh
Biased , ignorant and boring. Take a subject and decide how they want it to fit into their extremely shallow belief systems. 6 year olds that can read but not connect the dots.
Nice take on the oddest ideas
Such a treat every Friday. Love these hilarious skeptical women!
