Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
Sean and Amanda. Don’t change a thing. This podcast along with rewatchables gets me through 450 drive miles a night. Thank you
I love this show but Sean’s take on girlhood being the star of 2023 is WEIRD
Don’t get me wrong I love the pod and love both. And I understand not liking Taylor Swift. But telling men to jump off a bridge who are excited about the 1989 re-recording is weird and corny. This is where the Long Island man pops out.
Two Words:
Garbage.
Cash.
