“I have never snort laughed so hard in my life as I just did listening to y’all break down the Blake Lively Nylon 2009 interview. I can’t believe I made it this far in my life without knowing it existed. Makes me wonder what else I’ve missed. Maybe I’ll ponder that while bathing an elephant on a...”Read full review »

“Love the pod and the way the hosts have such natural chemistry and banter. It’s nostalgic and so fun to look back at what people were putting in the print with a 2024 lens. I will say idk that I needed to know about the girls and corpses magazine BUT I enjoyed hearing about how unhinged the...”Read full review »

“This duo is a match made in podcast heaven. I’m obsessed and I always drop everything I’m doing to listen to the newest episode. Dara and Troy are the cool older sisters I always wished I had and they are healing my childhood trauma.
They always nail the feeling of growing up in the early 2000s...”Read full review »

“Dear Editors 💗 Troy’s tidbit of the party antics of John Mayer, Perez Hilton and Jessica Simpson (that quote!) made my brain leap to the recent antics of Andy Cohen and John Mayer, notably their quirky! spontaneous! shucks! friendship that was forced upon us. As a queer woman, nothing sounds...”Read full review »

“Dear What’s your issue,
Your last episode on Rolling Stone and Jessica Simpson was perfection, like you I could not stand people that made John Mayer their whole personality, and Troy is a QUEEN for bringing up Gavin Degraw! That’s someone I got behind!
Jessica Simpson always got the short end...”Read full review »

“I have been listening from the beginning and love love LOVE this podcast. I love that they jump from decade to decade. The Rolling Stone from 2003 with Jessica Simpson on the cover was like chicken soup for my elder millennial soul. 🖤 Thank you, Troy and Dara—keep doing the Lord’s work. 😘”

“Dear What’s My Issue Magazine,
I run the mailbox every week to bask in your insight, wit and charisma. This is my favourite mag every since they cancelled ElleGirl in 2006 (I think Adam Brody was the last cover model?). I love Troy from BTB but so glad to have been introduced to Dara. I listen...”Read full review »
