I find it so cringe the way they bring up grades they earned in school in every episode, an achievement would be them actually being able to speak French/German in their adult life, not an exam grade from 6 years ago.I was listening to one of their podcasts a couple of days ago, I think it’s their most recent one actually, and they’re reading a dilemma and the girl mentions she is from Germany and they go on for sooooo long speaking random German phrases and laughing. Then they’re like “I did well in Germany at school, but you didn’t you were better at french. I’ve never been to Germany oh wait yes we have” and I got so angry I had to skip it because I find it really disrespectful to the person they’re trying to help. They make it about themselves all the time! This poor girl has written in for advice and they constantly go off topic and have a laugh about it and 1. It’s rude and 2. It’s not even interesting what they’re talking about!
Yeah their advice is terrible, the podcast isn't great but I enjoy listening to hear the dilemmas and think of what my own alternative and better advice would be lol. (The one about the girl who's flatmate brought home her summer romance from years ago was a madness btw)I enjoy their podcast and use it for background noise when I’m doing something etc but have noticed that lately their advice is nearly always questionable, like they used to be quite good but some of the things they suggest now I wouldn’t follow and can be quite hypocritical eg when a boy takes a long time to reply to a girl they’ll tell the girl to ghost him and see if he makes the effort to reach out which is a bit unfair considering that’s basically what was happening to the girl in the first place
I skip about 11 mins in to begin with so I don't have to listen to their intro chat about verrucas or whatever else and then just +15seconds through all their rambling so it doesn't take me long
