Brooke and Katie are back after a whopping three months to catch up and reminisce on all the things we haven’t been able to cover since our hiatus. We discuss our roses and thorns of pop culture this year including Wonka being movie of the year, Taylor and Travis, BTS all being in the army, and the rise and fall of And Just Like That’s Che and Miranda. We also discuss Love On the Spectrum US returning for season 2, Zootopia opening in Shanghai, and The 1975 being one of the best concerts ever. For our personal roses and thorns we talk about Erewhon, meeting Mr. Morrow, Brooke’s autism diagnosis, and more. For our NTBABBs we talk about Amazon affiliate links and being grateful for not being married. 

Surprise! Brooke and Katie are back and ready to talk about the need to bring back Americana in a wholesome way, Michael Kay’s Rome vlog that went just about exactly how we would expect, and Katie’s first non-D*sney cruise on Virgin Voyages where she got the news that Jimmy Buffett passed away. We also discuss this year’s return of Halloween Horror Nights, people trying to cancel Jimmy Fallon, the Jophie breakup, and V’s Layover. For our NTBABBs we talk about rich people who brag about leaving none of their fortune to their children, and people who don’t go to HHN to just hang out.

Brooke and Katie are indeed back and discuss THEE Gaylor Super Bowl - Karlie Kloss’s attendance at the last LA show of the Eras Tour! We also talk about Taylor’s wild Instagram post featuring a “proud” bracelet with a rainbow filter. We talk about Aidan being the best thing that has happened to And Just Like That, and look forward to My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. Brooke opens up about her recent autism diagnosis at the ripe old age of 29, and we both partake in honesty hour about our mental struggles as of late. For our NTBABBs we talk about people who brag about not drinking coffee and people who think they’re special for liking 1989 before Taylor’s Version, which is famously one of the most popular albums of all time. 

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. We also discuss Seven by Jungkook being raunchier than we ever could’ve imagined, Ariana Grande’s alleged divorce, Gigi Hadid smuggling weed, her ex Zayn on Call Her Daddy, Timothee Chalamet as Willy Wonka, Tokyo Toni’s latest antics, and almost meeting Mr. Morrow. For our NTBABBs we talk about people who stop in the middle of the road when they don’t know where they’re going and people who don’t allow themselves to have fun on the Fourth of July.

Brooke and Katie recap Katie’s weekend in California, talk about inches on Twitter who think Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is going to be failure, and unpack who goes to Pink concerts and how she has been on tour for the last several years consecutively. We also rank what we would most to least want to do out of hiking Mount Everest, going to space, or going to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine. For our NTBABBs we talk about little girls with hot tool styled hair and how themed cars need to make a comeback.

Brooke and Katie give our honest review on Pixar’s latest movie, Elemental. We express our excitement and anticipation for the first openly non-binary Disney/Pixar character, Lake Ripple, the annoying people in the theater ruining the experience for us, and discuss what was lacking in the romance between the two main characters. 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 make their familial relatives their child’s godparents and parents who surprise gift their child concert tickets or a major life event. 

Brooke and Katie finally get to discuss our personal Super Bowl - the Duggar Family docuseries Shiny Happy People! We discuss everything we’ve learned about the IBLP cult, unfortunate follow ups on some of the commentators that include restraining orders for vicious abuse, unflattering things about the people involved that are conveniently left out of the show, and more. For our NTBABBs we discuss interrupting people to talk to them in the middle of the concert, and being mistaken for a conservative at work.
