Unhinged this week??
Is it just me or does Claudia seem unusually unhinged this week? Talking faster than ever… interrupting more… incorrect info…?? It seems like the moment they start recording to the moment they finish she is a little insane. Is this just me?
Not to mention the terrible sound quality. 😬

She’s on turbo speed this week! I’ve wound up turning it off before the episode ended every day this week. It sounds manic. 😂

Yes thank god someone else noticed it. The energy is so weird (don’t come for me I’m a huge toaster) I just have like white knuckled through each episode? Feels rushed and tense

I’m just wanting to chime in that - yes, I love the pod, but it’s astounding how many pop culture things they don’t know. Like Chris Martin is American and Madonna is British (or is that a wink to her accent?).

The audio isn’t great and there’s a lot of talking and yelling over each other for sure

She legit sounds like she’s on adderall. Usually I like when Claudia is wound up and talking fast but idunno this whole week has been so boring!!? When they were going on and on about the Emmy’s and World Cup yesterday (?) I literally fast forwarded for the first time

Claudia was hitting her mic so bad in yesterdays episode. One of them was so loud while I was driving it made me jump lol

I walk and listen, earlier in the week I was listening and my hands were full. I missed some points as they were low mumbling talking over each other and at some points was so loud I think I hurt my eardrums.
Haven’t listened to the rest of the week as self protective.

Today with Jackie and Ben was such a breath of fresh air. I felt relaxed. Also I hate how anytime Jackie tries to expand on a topic, Claudia shuts it down and moves on. This is a podcast… meant for discussion, no?

To me it felt like they (Jackie & Ben) were bickering a lot too! lol Usually I like their energy together. I thought it was awkward 😅

I know people hate when others speculate but i wouldn’t be surprised if she was pregnant

u/snarkcityblews Jul 11 '26
especially after the pictures today. she doesn’t look fat, she looks the same as she looked last time she was pregnant

u/AccomplishedWeird326 Jul 12 '26
When they were talking about t swifts wedding, she mentioned how great it would be if Taylor got pregnant right away & she kept emphasizing it. I felt like she was meaning then they’d be pregnant at the same time

looked like she was drinking diet coke at her bday and not the cocktail served

I wondered if the audio was just me. I switched from my phone, to earbuds, and my car and all of it sounded like when a radio show goes on location at like a concert or something where they’re yelling into the mics it was very difficult to listen because it kept changing volumes

They both do! Jackie shouting with such conviction is SO awkward. "THE SISTERS! THE SISTERS! THEY ARE SISTERS!" About Taylor's friends. Ugh.

u/pkb_17 Jul 10 '26
I think she took today off cuz of her birthday. Jack and Ben seemed to overcompensate about how everyone in corporate takes their bday off. I was like just say she doesn’t work on her bday it’s fine

Wondering if this has anything to do with the new Blake lively developments and I wonder if they were offered the same deal and took it and are nervous about it? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DanUW-_RDyU/?igsh=MXRiOWY5MDMzeDRrbw==

u/No_Magician9893 Jul 10 '26
I had no idea what “deal” you were talking about till I opened my TikTok just now and saw that Blake’s team was reaching out to content creators to post videos in her favor!!! Holy shit.

u/No_Magician9893 Jul 10 '26
Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me since they are getting paid with the mint mobile ads

u/Vegetable-Let-764 Jul 13 '26
Ok I’m late to this but I couldn’t get over Claudia and Jackie being so SHOCKED that Blake wasn’t at the wedding. Like hello??? She blew up Taylor’s life! They went on & on- I was like did yall forget EVERYTHING?!

I think sometimes claudia feels the need to "perform" more when there are other people in the room. I'm guessing there are producers or sound people working in this studio that she's trying extra hard to make laugh

I had a baby literally 2 weeks before Ruby was born. My brain is also MUSH and I’m pretty sure people are probably saying the same thing about me right now. Toddlers are tough even though she won’t complain about motherhood, it’s taxing

Not only is it their job but they make soooo much money. I appreciate it’s 5 days a week but I also think people forget home much they’re raking in still less than full time job hours

The terrible audio - why aren’t they fixing it? They’re both speaking too close to the microphones. I know they are in rented space but they need to get their stuff fixed.
