Stop the smarty pass madness
Ever since you started smarty pass only episodes I have been sad🙁and I can’t watch the show anymore please stop your biggest fan Alice fellheimer
By C Antoinette
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry avocado jean and really any #your favorite haters people in jenral for disrespecting your beliefs. It really was mean for me to say it’s rude to say god real and it’s totally fine to say that.👍I still don’t believe in god and don’t understand why you talk so much about god on the reviews 😐but I mean, you’re soposed to share your opinion on the reviews so i can’t stop you🤷♀️I am sorry for what I said in the past. Nobody should try to stop #your favorite haters from doing their thing. Shure,you can disagree with them like me but don’t try to stop them because in the reviews you are soposed to share your opinion and there’s nothing wrong with what they’re doing. But you are also kind of exaggerating how much they talk about racism like I said in my last review. I hope that nobody else fights after reading this review, thank you.
I would also prefer that you don’t talk about god. It’s fine if you believe in him yourself but please don’t talk about him because this podcast doesn’t have any thing to do with god. Also, Kellia, I have a question for you, how would forever ago apologize for what they did?🙂P.S LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this podcast SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.P.S what does’woke agenda’ mean?P.P.P.S please do more episodes on other racially discriminated groups?🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not gonna waste my time
I agree with Athena, I’m way to old for this and doing this is quite frankly a waste of my time I’ve tried to tell you guys my thoughts but you don’t listen… so peace out ✌️ I’m gonna watch this reality tv show instead of be a part of it byeeee— love avacado jean!! Also guys just I may write some more reviews in the future but honestly I don’t spend a lot of time on my phone I spend most of it outside…. Soooo this is basically the only thing I’m doing lol.. not worth it. I still hate this podcast and think you shouldn’t listen to it at all though. Ok peace out ✌️
