Customer Reviews
Dear gxd pls get rid of that conair ad
Love you but please it’s so dumb.
Perfect
The internet is all of us and for all of us. Keep up the good work Bridgett. We wont be bullied off the internet or silenced.
Mixed bag
Bridget is great but needs to lose Mike as a co-host. Considering unsubscribing. He’s terrible on air and she’s much better solo. She’s very informed and appreciate her perspective and voice. He drags things down.
