A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I've been listening from the start and really enjoy their dynamic and their humor. And I'm so glad they're covering MAFS - they do a great job!

Love the banter between Carly and Cory. They offer great takes on various reality shows…so happy they are taking on MAFS! Just FYI - the new format is very similar to how they do the show in the UK and Australia (and no, I’m not TOO embarrassed to admit I watch ALL forms of MAFS ;). Keep up the great work!

I had to drive home to literally change my pants before work because I was laughing so hard that I peed!!! That's never happened to me before but the combo of you two with Ace & Katelyn was pure gold.

ElizaJane17 · Jul 2026

Thanks so much for taking on this show. Your coverage of this season is the best I have heard, and I listen to ALOT of pods covering this show.
