  • “Homeless girl hair”??

    I do usually like their takes on pop culture but just wowww. How out of touch can you be? As if unhoused people take no pride in their appearance or that those who aren’t able to care for themselves should be used as a mascot for your style. So offensive

  • Only Pod I Pay For

    I’ve been sitting at my dining table, doing a jigsaw puzzle, ignoring my 6 year old twins. My husband just walked past me and smiled and all I could think was “If only he knew that I’m laying £10 per month to listen to two sisters discuss how quickly their nipples get hard and where they wanna live in Brooklyn.”

  • It’s Okay

    Used to love this pod. I love the sisterly banter, but more recently there’s been minimal lighthearted and funny discussion. They are typically just going down their list and “reporting”. Opinions are flat. A TON of T. Swift discussion, which I personally don’t care as much about. I much prefer the older episodes.

  • Not worth your time or money.

    There’s a way to cover celebrity news that’s actually interesting and thoughtful. This isn’t that. The hosts are so unlikable.
