2022’s best witty banter award goes to…

Ellen and mom! Laugh out loud funny and really great recs! The relationship between mom and Ellen is such a feel-good! Ellen is completely relatable and I want to be mom when I get older. Thoroughly enjoyable!

“I’m also a basic b and got a Stanley tumbler for Christmas” -Ellen immediately “Well that has nothing to do with the tumbler but yeah you are”. - Mom 😂😂😂

Have I found my people?

I haven’t listened to a podcast in ages but this year I’ve become addicted to Ellen - and Ellen’s mom Julie. First of all I love love love reading romance but finding people to chat with me about it, not so easy. It’s almost more fun than reading a and I find myself sitting in my car to finish listening and laughing along. I adore their realistic and sometimes chuckle at all of our mutually cringe-worthy romance moments. Their banter makes me think about what my mom and I might talk about if we read romance books together...could we do it? Honestly maybe they’ve given me hope. They sound like they love each other, they know their stuff, and they have a lot of fun. I’m addicted and I’ve been listening to their whole backlog and adding to my TBR list so I can listen to it even more!

I wanted to write another review because it’s a few years later and my love for this show is still going strong.
