  • Disappointed

    I’m not interested in supporting a podcast that blames and shames victims of sexual harassment. If Dom and Chris are so easily influenced by retribution bots utilized to punish a woman who defended herself and others from a creep in the workplace, then they lack the media literacy necessary to offer valid pop culture commentary.

  • Longtime huge fan and it just keeps getting better

    Just listen, it’s hilarious. Chris and Dom are so funny and irreverent yet somehow heartwarming, all at the same time. This is the only podcast I pay for extra access to (and I listen to A LOT of podcasts).

  • bummed out they hate an artist when it was popular bc she stood up against a genocide

    My crime didn’t meet the block IMO but still gonna give a good rating bc genuinely love the pod and find Chris and dom natural comics and the concept of the show is brilliant and a nice escape from the heaviness of today’s climate. All that to say I replied to political content respectfully, pragmatically towing the line with some humor - seeing as they masterfully do so on political topics and even though I don’t agree I can’t still laugh on the pod I really thought of all libs they could lolz ... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Featuring Famous People: Bruce Vilanch
Q: What was the impetus for you to write the book about all of the quote unquote bad stuff that you've been involved with?
It started during COVID when I had conversations with younger people who were curious about the shows I worked on, leading me to realize I couldn't run from failure anymore and that those shows would come back to haunt me.
