What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Entertaining podcast and has helped me with setting boundaries and feeling ok with not people pleasing. Sally, thank you for using your platform to speak up for medical common sense. We need it out here.

TooOldForThis11 · Mar 2025

I’ve loved this easy listening podcast for a long time, where real life people are just talking about real life problems. I love getting both a woman & a man’s perspective on the talking points. The political climate has taken over everything and podcasts like this used to be a break from that. I’ve turned off multiple episodes this last year, but specifically this past one. The airing out family grievances on a public platform was very offputting. Thank you Brett for keeping it neutral.

Jade-PA · Nov 2024

Late to the game on this pod, but Sally & Brett have kept me great company over the past few weeks! Glad I have a backlog of eps. Listening feels like I’m hanging out with 2 pals and I love hearing their takes on the things that plague us in our 20s-30s. Entertaining and earnest at the same time, keep it up!

cec7 · Feb 2023

A lot of thoughtful (as well as funny) conversations that lighten the work day. Brett seems like the kindest human and Sally makes me look forward to being a mom!

heymab · Aug 2022

Love the pod, been here since day 1. Too political even if no politics are brought up. Sally can’t go without either talking politics, or saying “I won’t talk politics” then go on to give an extremely one sided skewed take…. More fun with Brett and Randy, things stay light until they have to get into things and they’re just so much more easy going

sockfacekilla · May 2025

Long time listener through the multiple host iterations. Brett and Sally do great with light-hearted topics. The perfect balance of entertaining and practical. They lose me when their only solution to people dealing with actual issues is "go to therapy" or try some medication.
