I feel dumber.
I'm not sure who this woman is, she may be the female version of Bob Villa, but wow, does she say some stupid stuff. I listened to two segments of the extreme home podcast and she said "for serious?" as a question FIVE TIMES. It seemed like the male host was trying to rein her in, but she keeps jabbering. It may be a great show, but I'll never know, can't take anymore. Back to Ace On the House for me.
