  • Typical racist white girls

    Don’t recommend listening unless you want to hear two privileged, tone-deaf girls ramble on unimportant topics

  • The BEST!

    I stumbled upon these ladies during the Catherine Middleton drama but stayed because I had no idea what I was missing. I literally laugh out loud every episode and have become their informal wing woman because I now tell everyone I know to listen. I only want pop culture of it’s coming from them! Love you guys.
