Qwerrtythebest ,

Love the pod!

I love listening to this pod. I know some people sense tension, but I see Ali and Erica as two friends with very different personalities who are so comfortable with each other that they aren’t afraid to just be themselves- even if that puts them on different sides. I like the two different perspectives they bring! ❤️

TravelingJ96 ,

Vibes are off lately

I really enjoy this pod but lately the pod and esp the Patreon feels off to me. Ali is withdrawing to share her dating experiences (of course it’s her right to) but when you have a dating podcast and switch up what you’ve been doing, limits how relatable it used to be.

This last Patreon episode, Ali is sharing an experience and Erica replies with one word answers and seems to dismiss what Ali’s sharing. Feels weird, maybe it’s pod fatigue or dating slumps (who hasn’t been there). Hope the ladies work out their issues w each other.

1’s all across the board.

I’m sorry but the dynamic between these two is very strange. Even in the intros it’s like deeply uncomfortable. Erica seems completely disinterested and Ali will ask questions and such but it’s all so weird. Oh lord and when they have guests it’s like they can’t interview people in a authentic and conversational way. Also Ali is a dating “coach” I don’t believe in paying random people online about dating. Anyways they’re not even entertaining.
