We also discuss this year’s return of Halloween Horror Nights, people trying to cancel Jimmy Fallon, the Jophie breakup, and V’s Layover.

Brooke and Katie attempt to make it up to all of our lovely little Bitch Butts who have been SO patient with our frequent hiatuses by bringing on a celebrity guest this week! Most of you know Dom Corona as a Disney Fine Artist and father to his dog, Nemo, but few know that he is also a Barb with exceptionally sensitive corneas and our friend of 5+ years. We discuss the iconic circumstances of how we all met, Dom becoming a Barb and meeting Nicki as a straight-presenting man, his evolving list of celebrity crushes, his college program, and more. Of course, we have to throw in a few hot topics that we’ve missed over these past couple of weeks including Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater, Barbenheimer Cardi B’s microphone incident, and of course, the latest happenings on And Just Like That. For our NTBABBs we discuss on call doctors that aren’t actually on call, bringing back the joy of going to a chain ice cream parlor, and fan projects at concerts.

Brooke and Katie reunite after a two week hiatus to rapid fire discuss many of the things we haven’t gotten to cover during our time off. We talk about our weekend trip to Atlanta for the Twice concert and Brooke’s birthday, including visiting the Center for Puppetry Arts, running into Momo and Nayeon at the Georgia Aquarium, and watching graphic sex scenes between Che and Miranda in And Just Like That.

Brooke and Katie give our honest review on Pixar’s latest movie, Elemental.

We also go through every Pixar movie up to 2015 and speculate which characters were secretly (or not-so-secretly) on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum. We talk about the most random collaboration in recent history: TxT and the Jonas Brothers!

For our NTBABBs we talk about people who wear Apple watches to weddings and Taylor Swift and Matty Healy being an unprecedented social experiment.

Brooke and Katie recount their trip to Atlanta to see Tomorrow x Together’s concert. Aside from the unbelievable talent and big budget production that went into this concert, we also talk about our out of body moments being noticed by our biases and how you can achieve moments like that as well. We can definitely be delusional, but we promise that was NOT the case here! For our NTBABBs we talk about elaborate wedding cakes that are barely edible and the lack of hand holding between parents and children these days.

We talk about Michael’s first cruise as an Adler and his brother Dave’s trip to an Oklahoma casino. The mask is off literally and figuratively as  we commentate on Michael’s uncharacteristically healthy eating choices on the Disney Wish, his harping on how much he hates pretty much everything, and riding the AquaMouse with a mystery child among many other questionable things. We also talk about Dave’s return to vlogging on his trip to the world’s largest casino where he does no gambling and speaks in an unintelligible country accent. For our NTBABBs we talk about the over-romanticization of Paris and how underrated Farmer Wants A Wife is.

Katie finally gets to relay her experience at the Eras Tour in Tampa, and we discuss the Twitter drama surrounding a particular Disney influencer’s attendance of multiple concerts on the tour. We also talk about our girls trip to Clearwater Beach and wonder what the synthetic drugs are made of that are sold in the gift shops there. We react to the And Just Like That season 2 teaser, the breaking and totally believable news of Taylor Swift and Matty Healy *ALLEGEDLY* dating, and the Met Gala. We unpack whether Trace Cyrus is attractive, who our Boygenius biases are, and who we would want to be dressed by for the Met Gala. For our NTBABBs we talk about how more couples should consider having only one child, and how we do not like seeing the voice actors of cartoon characters.

This week Brooke and Katie welcome our sweet friend Jamie Arena onto the podcast!

We also discuss Ryan Gosling as a comedic actor in the Barbie movie, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell being a boring and already overexposed PR “couple”, who we would love to see in a rom com, and Coachella.

Brooke and Katie are elated and as shocked as you are to welcome our first STRAIGHT male guests onto the podcast: Evan and Mark! Longtime friends and fellow members of the Kay Brother Army, they join us this week all the way from Los Angeles via Zoom to talk about the objectively more honorable of the Kays. Together we unpack the hypnotic and dissociative series of vlogs chronicling Dave’s trip to Hawaii, including the endless wandering through the barren Covid-ridden city streets, impressive avoidance of some of the most beautiful natural landmarks in the world, and his rambling stream of consciousness that narrates the entire experience. We also talk about his music career, superhero characters he conceptualizes and acts out himself, and the interesting dynamic between him and his brother Michael. For our NTBABBs we talk about barbershop quartets, the lack of concert etiquette at the Eras Tour, forced tipping on iPads, and not paying for YouTube premium. *AS ALWAYS, THE CONTENT OF THIS EPISODE IS ALLEGED AND FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.*

We also share the endless, sometimes bone-chilling similarities between Michael Kay and Michael Jackson. We also give a quick recap of all of the Kpop and pop culture news that we didn’t get the chance to talk about over the last three weeks, including j-hope’s military enlistment announcement, Jimin’s upcoming solo album, Face, and the Oscars.

To close out the end of our thrilling trilogy, Katie and Brooke pick up where we left off last week on the cusp of what becomes known as “Michael’s Favorite Pandemic”. We discuss how Michael has lived out all Seven Deadly Sins before our very eyes, the restraining order he allegedly filed against one of his immediate family members, and his being a government nepotism baby. We also go over the controversial events leading to his downward spiral, including some questionable face paint, his Bl*e L*ves M*tter shirt, and his alleged DAS use and abuse. We also remember Katie and her dad meeting Michael at the Onward screening, the infamous now deleted Swan Gate fiasco, the cruise vaccination web of lies, the uncovering of Michael’s secret engagement, and Michael’s alleged legal and channel name change. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all so much for listening to this series and giving us your feedback! We had so much fun making it and have loved laughing our asses off every week taking this walk down memory lane. :)*THE CONTENT OF THIS SERIES IS ALLEGED AND FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.*

Brooke and Katie continue where we left off last week with Michael and his brother Dave’s fateful move to Florida. We cover the events that occur in the months following our favorite brothers becoming Florida Residents, including Dave marketing himself as an off-brand Michael who also makes VMA winning-music videos to original Grammy-winning songs. We also recount our personal real life encounters with the Kay brothers, and reminisce on their extensive dating app activity. For our NTBABBs we talk about people who gift DVC stays to Disney vloggers, the way Michael describes food, and his refusing to show his face in videos. *THE CONTENT OF THIS SERIES IS ALLEGED AND FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.*

For all of our OG listeners, this one’s for you! Brooke and Katie begin our second deep dive series by throwing it back to the man we credit for planting the seed of our friendship - fallen from grace Disney YouTuber, Michael Kay! (Now known as JourneyTogether) We met Michael as a beloved self-proclaimed “Disney enthusiast” who charmed the pants off of midwestern cougars with his incredible knack for skin-tight Incredibles cosplay and enthusiasm for bison burgers. In the years since, he has found himself embroiled in accusations of grifting, deception, and Blue Life boot-licking. In this introductory episode we detail the origins of his channel as a bright eyed and bushy chested - I mean - bushy TAILED young man, reflect on our first impressions of Michael as true fans of his, and give a rundown of the motley crew that is his immediate family. We also read imagine POVs we used to write (as a JOKE), recite memorable quotes, and list our favorite vlogs on his channel. For our NTBABBs we discuss Ash Wednesday and Ariana DeBose not capitalizing off of her cringe awards show performance like she should have.*THE CONTENT OF THIS SERIES IS ALLEGED AND FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.*
