Confused and unorganized

Can someone fix the order of the episodes

Rachel keeps cutting Melinda off when speaking

I've listened to a couple of episodes and Rachel needs to let Melinda finish her sentences before cutting her off. It's very rude. Also, how awkward was that Adam Brody episode. Melinda started off with acknowledging Adam and his family which was very sweet. Rachel kept bringing up stuff from when they were together. I'm all for walking down memory lane but you can tell it made Adam uncomfortable. What a way to end the episode by bringing up how they dressed up as Ben and Jennifer for Halloween one year. Then Rachel had to make it extra weird by saying "Ben and Jennifer" are back together. Melinda is a great interviewer, idk about Rachel though.
