Completely agree with Dave about the car rider line! Never understood those who wait an hour before....
I listen to you guys since you came out with this podcast from the very beginning, and I think Dave is a flat out narcissist know it all. I think he has made Meredith think that she is mentally ill because of her regular reactions but I don't think you are Meredith. it's Dave. sorry I feel like I had to tell you
For the last episode. what about the girl's parents? hmm
Aaaaàa a osu6
NOT Meredith making me cry while at work listening to this. My oldest is 13 and I'll never be ready them to move out on their own!
I look forward to every podcast you two do, if it's longer then a week sigh it's hard 🥴 but.... this week was a awesome different direction and I loved it!
I've always worried that I was the only person alive that still checks for a snake crawling up from within the toilet every time I pee!!!
Thank you for being so relatable!
I'm all caught up with the new ones! now what am I going to do with my life during the dogs walk. we need more girls!!!
I'm so excited to be able to listen to you two again on #takeitorleaveit! it made my morning walk with the dogs joyful! thank you guys!
I love this podcast! The ladies (and Dave) are fabulous, even if I don't always agree on everything. They keep it real, which I appreciate. I'm not the only one who has Mom Fail Moments. I miss them and hope they come back sometime!
this is the best episode ever i almost spit out my drink!
let me add...I know what it is to do many things not great. cost me our entire business. FOCUS on the tour.
do not apologize for self-care. you are an INSPIRATION to do so. this is a PRIVELEGE to listen...wish I could see u on tour HUGS
this really sucks. Some of us cant pay to see you. 30 shows is awesome, but I love hearing yall once a week. Have fun!
please dont leave us
We struggle to get our daughter to brush her teeth regularly, use mouth wash, and she absolutely REFUSES to floss. But she’s begging for braces. I flat out told her I will not pay for braces if she isn’t going to take care of her teeth. I want her to be confident with her smile but braces aren’t going to help if her teeth start rotting. If we don’t keep on her she’ll go days without brushing. 😫😫
I heard water and Mosistat.. on your hair helps it grow!? Soo!?? I'm going to try!
so funny I say how do these kids love watching other kids unbox and play with toys lol
my niece and nephew caught me eating playboy when I was pregnant.... turns out I had extremely low iron
