Love the messiness!!

I’ve always been a Kristin fan even since the earlier hot mess seasons so glad she’s back on my screen!

Pregnancy issues

I was so sad to hear of Kristen and Luke’s pregnancy loss. I want for them to have the best chance of success in making a family. I wish they would do research on the effect of regular marijuana use age and its effect on male and female fertility. There is plenty of legitimate research to easily access. There are also researched effects of the effect cannabis has on miscarriage . They are working against their goal if they don’t stop the exposure . On the podcast, they make no secret that they are frequent smokers of weed.
My sister and broth in-law were never able to have a child of their own. The doctors told them that half the problem was my brother in-law’s chronic use of cannabis. It lowered his sperm count and the sperm were damaged.

Chemistry and GREAT guests

EDIT; still 5 stars for me! I have to agree that the mouth sounds are cringey! I wish podcasters would keep well hydrated, or step away from the microphone. If we can hear the cotton mouth spit, it’s not enjoyable. Most of us use headphones, which makes it even that much worse.
Absolutely LOVE Kristen & Luke tho. Just some constructive feedback.
LOVE the guests and topics each week. I got so much from the couple on last week(learned so much and felt validated, yet also got the other side of that regarding my partners feelings). I do have to agree with others that Kristen needs to allow guests to finish sentences instead of interrupting so often, but I’m sure that’ll come with time, learning the ropes of a weekly podcast and taking in honest, podcast positive reviews! Could tell right away the amazing chemistry between these 2! You weren't fooling us(at least most of us lol)! Love the real conversations, and hope it continues to be successful for y'all. Keep it up and good luck.
