Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Why is there not more reviews? This podcast is great!! Kristy has the best laugh ever. Seriously ever. Scott is brutally honest. His dry wit and quick sarcasm is so funny.
The only thing I would change with the podcast is the the curse words. Maybe a few is ok. Either way I get over it enough to listen to all episodes!
Loving this show!
I love the concept of this podcast! The host is a fantastic storyteller and I enjoyed the doses of witty humor throughout the episodes I’ve heard so far. Amazing job! You have a new subscriber.
Love this!!!
So much great material! I find myself hyped every time I get around to listening to the most recent episode! Kristy does such a wonderful job!
