Coachella Vlog

Britney Spears: 2000

For this very important installation of discussing Britney's life year by year, Zach and I are joined by our good Judy, Mellisa Rich! We recorded this episode in my apartment right after I moved in so it's very nostalgic.

Britney Spears: 1999

We're finally continuing our year by year review of Britney's life, and picking up right where we left off. This week Zach and I will be diving head first into the 1999 of it all. Everything from the release of her earth shattering debut album to what we lovingly refer to as her "crunchy" era, before the massive budget (and highlights). Enjoy!

Britney and Rosie

I came up with the idea of exploring Britney's relationship history with specific media outlets, starting from her very first appearance. In this episode we'll take a trip down Rosie Show lane and examine all of Britney's appearances on the Rosie O'Donnell show, as well as their very unique relationship throughout the years.

The Coachella Of It All

in this episode Zach and I recap our Coachella trip from top to bottom. We discuss everything from Gwen Stefani and I making sensual eye contact to me thinking it was a good idea to bring shroom chocolate to the desert

Britney the Actress

In this episode Zach and I discuss Britney the thespian...Britney the AC-TORE! We talk about all of her miscellaneous acting credits, and what her career may have possibly looked like had she continued acting. We also fantasize about the Notebook because duh.

Britney Spears: 1998

Me and my sister in Christ, Zach Garcia, decided we wanted to do a year by year review of Britney's career, starting in 1998. We've secretly been recording lots of Britney content for quite some time so expect many more and enjoy!

Being Bobby Brown ep 6

This week, Troy is joined by his podcast sister, Liz Bentley, as Whitney and Bobby take Hollywood! Bobby makes his first televised talk show appearance in years and Whitney buys out the Von Dutch store with Bobbi Kristina.

Being Bobby Brown ep 5

Another week, another deep dive into the iconic, misunderstood daydream that is Being Bobby Brown!

This time, Troy is joined by friend of the Network Lauren Hamilton (co-host of the Everybody Wants Something podcast) and we’re relishing in the fact that Whitney and Bobby’s house flooded, which forced them into a hotel (and that’s where they do their best work, TBH).

This episode consists of lots of poop talk, giant lobster eating, hotel bar shenanigans, and Bobby Brown not b...

Being Bobby Brown ep 4

Troy is joined by longtime friend of the pod, and host of Les Deux You Remember This, Dara Laine. They be tackle a particularly depressing Mother's Day themed episode of Being Bobby Brown that very easily could've been titled "Bobby Brown Makes Whitney Houston Feel Invisible and Under-appreciated For An Entire Weekend."

Being Bobby Brown ep 3

For this week’s Being Bobby Brown bonus episode, Troy is joined by the iconic Kara Berry from the Everyone’s Business But Mine podcast.

Whitney and Bobby go on a doomed from the start, family camping trip that results in Bobby being insulted about his drunk driving and arrests by a hillbilly on a jet ski (yes... that is a real thing that happens).

Being Bobby Brown ep 2

We're back with another Being Bobby Brown episode, and this week we're joined by friend of the pod, Sonia Marie Sells from Rewind The Love!

In Episode 2 Whitney, Bobby, and Krissy take a shopping trip to London that quickly turns into a truly hellish experience, thanks to Bobby. Horrifically awkward/hilarious moments ensue, and the episode ends on a surprisingly (but also not surprising at all) super dark note.

Being Bobby Brown ep 1

After several weeks of discussion, Troy's journey to self discovery can finally begin... It's time to dissect Bravo's 2005 classic, Being Bobby Brown!

Troy and Mani from the Mixing With Mani podcast start by breaking down their overall feelings about the show and it's strange existence in Bravo's canon of early 2000's "celeb-reality" television.

In episode 1, they're introduced to Bobby as a family man, husband, and doting father. They also get a glimpse into his codependent&...

Queerness in 90's television

This week we're welcoming a new and very exciting guest! Troy is joined by YouTube creator, Matt Baume, who specializes in the study of queerness in popular television shows from the past. Troy and Matt discuss the shining examples of how gay characters should be handled (The Nanny, Golden Girls, etc) and the not-so-great examples (we're looking at you, Friends).

MTV vs VH1

Consider this week's episode a millennial wet dream! Troy is joined by his dear pal, Jesse Chambliss, for a truly nostalgic look back at some of the most iconic music programming from both MTV and VH1. They'll spend the hour breaking down the shows that helped shape us and how they compared between networks. We're talking Pop Up Video, MTV Diary, VH1 Divas Live and MUCH more!

Charlie's Angels

Good morning, Angels! This week Troy gets to live out one of his tween fantasies, which is to talk really intensely about the 2000 remake of Charlie's Angels for an hour. Cian Sullivan from Sissy That Pod is here and they discuss everything from the insane amount of (sometimes problematic) costumes to the hugely popular "wire-fu" fighting style featured in the film. They also break down how this movie holds up through a 2022 lens and why the chemistry between the three leads works so well. Oh...

2007 VMAs

Remember that time in 2007 when MTV decided it would be a good idea to film the VMA's in Las Vegas and have all the performances take place in dimly lit hotel rooms while everyone was so wasted they would barely strand? Today Troy is joined by new friend of the pod, Jacob Frazier, for a revisit of the 2007 VMA's

Miley Cyrus: Bangerz

The time has come for us to break down one of your most highly requested albums...This week Troy is joined by a true friend of the pod, Kirbie Johnson, for a very fun revisit of Miley Cyrus's 2013 juggernaut, Bangerz. Not only will they break down each track but they'll also discuss just how intensely "Indie sleaze" the entire album cycle feels, and the impact it had on Tumblr culture. The episode obviously opens with Troy and Kirbie talking about Britney's WEDDING! (This was recorded before ...

Rediscovering Kim Kardashian

This week Troy is joined by new friend of the pod, Olivia Broussard, for a very deep and insightful conversation about Kim Kardashian (or Kim 2.0 as we lovingly refer to her). They spend the hour discussing the impact Kanye West has had on, not only Kim's career, but the entire family. They also try and get to the bottom of who exactly Kim Kardashian is when not acting as a muse for other people.

The Brandy of it All

This episode is long overdue and a single hour wouldn't even begin to cover it all, but you have to start somewhere! Troy is joined by new friend of the pod, Mykel Montana, for a much-needed conversation about Miss "vocal Bible" herself...Brandy Norwood. They discuss everything from Moesha to the insane impact of her Full Moon album and how it changed the music industry forever. They also spend time revisiting her short lived reality show, her relationship with Whitney and SO MUCH MORE!

Britney Spears Hawaii Special

To say this week's episode is special would be an understatement considering every moment of the topic is burned in the minds of every Britney Spears fan. We are lucky to have Michael Cadoch from the Planet 2000s podcast back to break down every iconic moment of Britney Spears Live and More, the Waikiki special from 2001.

A Love Letter to Neve Campbell

This episode needs absolutely no introduction but deserves all the pomp and circumstance. As you may or may not know, Troy met one of his idols this past weekend and he lived to tell. Over the next hour we'll discuss what it was like to come face to face with the raven haired, earth goddess, Neve Campbell! We'll also discuss "final girl" culture, Neve's incredible career and what makes Sidney Prescott such a gay icon.

Troy is joined by host of Last Week On and Into You podcasts, Adam Straughan, for a lengthy discussion about Avril Lavigne's debut album, Let Go!

They close the episode by discussing the eventual retirement of Barbara Walters and how she was treated on he...
