  • So much fun!🤩 but they seemed to Run out of people

    It used to be so much fun but lately they are “fixing” people who don’t seem to really need it. Also I think they should do more research of the subjects instead of making wrong guesses.

  • June 3rd Episode

    Love this pod!! I truly enjoy hearing your opinions & experiences in pop culture! In the 6/3 episode you talked about field trips to Broadway shows & criticized teachers for allowing kids to dress too casually. I am a child & adolescent therapist at a homeless shelter & this take really rubbed me the wrong way. Children should be exposed to culture whenever possible, even if they don’t have nice clothes. The way it was presented, it seemed you wanted to exclude kids from (what’s likely) a once i... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Aidy Bryant with Flea Fasano
Q: What makes Aidy Bryant a unique talent who could lead a major project again?
Her distinctive blend of physical comedy, sharp timing, and the ability to carry emotionally resonant material, as shown in Shrill and her SNL sketches, makes her a versatile lead who can anchor both high-energy comedies and meaningful dramas.
Ashley Tisdale French with Andrew Nucatola
Q: So what is Ashley Tisdale French's middle name?
The middle name is revealed as Michelle, ending the back-and-forth with a definitive identification of her full name as Ashley Michelle Tisdale French.
Ashley Tisdale French with Andrew Nucatola
Q: Before I give some information, do either of you already know Ashley Tisdale's middle name?
The guests and hosts discuss possibilities, with the consensus gradually converging around a correct middle name, and the reveal comes later in the episode.
Featuring Famous People: Amanda Knox
Q: At what point did you realize that you were someone that people all over the world knew?
I first realized the scale of the case when I saw news vans surrounding my house, even before I was arrested.
Featuring Famous People: Bruce Vilanch
Q: Why do you think Jamie Lee Curtis won over Angela Bassett for supporting actress?
The new voting body fell in love with everything everywhere all over your face, and Angela kind of got lost in the rush. Both are great stories, but Jamie Lee's Hollywood connection may have swayed the Academy.
