4.7 out of 5 stars from 10.8k ratings
  • 11 minute long ads?????

    I kid you not this podcast has 11 minute long advertisements while in the middle of talking! Do you really think we are going to listen to you speak ads for 11 mins straight? I’ve listened to a couple episodes already and they’re all like that! They think we’re too lazy to skip ads for 11 minutes because no one does that but these two. Unsubscribed. You don’t even bring anything to the table you just read blinds that are not even yours. Lazy!

  • Love this show

    I’ve been listening since you guys went on Fluently Forward years ago and I haven’t stopped since. I’m 20 so I don’t know what you guys are talking about all the time but it doesn’t matter to me because I laugh anyways and it’s a true comfort for me. It’s also been great to really see Kelli show her personality more in the past few years than in the beginning because she is truly so funny! Love you guys!

  • Not Para-Serious

    In this podcast Kelli and Troy truly upset the parasocial fans of celebrities. Yes, sometimes their takes are wild but therein lies the fun, it’s not so serious folks. Kelli and Troy offer counterbalancing takes to celebrity suck ups, helping to keep the ecosystem in check. Happy 5th year anniversary, I’ve been listening a year or so. Keep up the good work. Yeah with respect to those upset parasocial fans just read the less than 5 star reviews, hilarious. And keep the timestamps! Who can’t figur... more
