Bubble Bath Stories

Welcome back, Duckies. A24’s Backrooms just released. And after making a groundbreaking $277 million at the box office, your host had to bring it up for discussion. The real question, though, is Hollywood targeting online forums for ideas now? Backrooms, an original idea from Kane Parson’s Creepypasta posts, is looking like the new standard. If this works, what’s stopping movie execs from using al...

Summer is here and school is out! Graduation season is upon us and the stories are already out! It’s only been a couple of weeks of ceremonies and we already have at least six trending stories. Seems like graduates and guests just don’t know how to act. And on this show, the administration gets it too! But, we gotta start with the speakers. There is an awful trend going on with guest speakers talk...

Welcome back, Duckies! It’s that episode you’ve been waiting for! It’s time for the Bubble Bath Stories brackets. And this year, we have to settle an argument. Who is the best TV mom? Boy, that’s a tough one! We all love Moms! Especially on TV. And we all have that one mom-character that makes us think “I wash my mom was like that” or “wow! My mom is JUST like that”. So, what better way to honor t...

Hey Duckies! Everybody loves Malcolm in the Middle… but Ryan and Willa Barnett might love it more than the rest of us. This week, we’re joined by the brother-and-sister duo behind the Yes, No, Maybe Podcast, the show dedicated to one of the most criminally-underrated sitcoms ever made (his words, not ours). What started as two siblings obsessing over Malcolm somehow turned into cast interviews, a...

Welcome to a new episode! After a little hiatus, your two favorite podcast hosts are back! And what better way to return than with some of the pettiest stories we can think of? Today we beg to ask the question, were we petty or justified? Nicky Trendz has a list. And pop star, Neo landed on that list inadvertently. We hear the story of why Neo ended up on Nicky’s sh!t list. But it’s not all bad. B...

Okay, here we go again, duckies! Back at this list since we reached 200 episodes, eventually we’ll get to 200 questions. For now, your hosts have a bucket of answers to these. Feel free to take them to your next water cooler stop! Today, Nicky and Manny tell us who they secretly wish was a listener. One of them wants it to make it worth the clout, the other wants it to expand their reach. Manny Os...

Hey duckies! Everyone has been talking about Netflix’s newest documentary, Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere. In it, Louis guides us through chats he has with different influencers in the alpha-male subculture that focuses on men and male-dominance over everyone, basically. The term toxic masculinity is the biggest driving factor in this movement, as these guys do their best to own and re-defin...

Wow, duckies… what a week. The kind of week that makes you want to book a group therapy session and bring snacks. So this episode, your hosts decided to take a deep breath and run through some of the biggest — and heaviest — stories closing out February. Because if you’ve glanced at a headline lately, you already know it’s been a lot. From small absurdities to major global tensions, the news cycle...

What an episode we have for you, Duckies! If you grew up on chaotic early-2000s reality TV like we did, then you already know the cultural chokehold America’s Next Top Model had on us. What started as a competition for aspiring supermodels quickly turned into one of the most unforgettable, unhinged, and wildly addictive shows of our generation. Now, Netflix is pulling back the curtain with Reality...

Welcome back to a new episode! We all know how tough it is to succeed in life. And these days, success is looking younger and younger. If you read Forbes’ 30 Under 30 List, you’ll see what we mean. Since 2011, Forbes recognizes annually 30 people under 30 years old that are emerging titans of their industries. And since then, the world has been trying to guess which one of those 30 is headed to pr...

Welcome back, Duckies! 🦆 Your hosts are back with a new episode, and this week we’re calling out the unwritten rules of office life that people refuse to follow. You know the ones: don’t steal pens, clean the coffee machine, and please stop microwaving food that smells like regret. But this time, Nicky needs to vent about a desk mate who has officially gone too far. An office-wide feud over fluor...

Hey Duckies—we’re back, fresh out of the oven with a brand-new episode and an incredible guest. After a deep dive down the algorithm rabbit hole, your hosts stumbled upon the jaw-dropping work of Marj Santaromana, a cake decorator extraordinaire whose creations blur the line between dessert and illusion. As we quickly learned, “Marj Santaromana turns pop culture, sports, and fantasy into hyper-rea...

You might think, “Oh, just another celeb drama,” but it’s mor...

The ball dropped, its 2026 & were all tuned into Netflix to watch the series finale for Stranger Things. The cultural phenomenon, that after 10+ years to finish. Where were you when that episode hit?

And we’re giving you guys all the...

Some questions are easy. What’s...

Welcome back, friends! This week, we’re tossing out some of the most random, ridiculous, and weirdly valid thoughts that popped into our heads—and we’re counting on you to help us make sense of them. Or not. That’s cool too. Nicky Trendz kicks things off by asking the age-old question: why do crime families keep… criming? Like, is there no family business other than “business”? Then Manny Oso chim...

Hey Duckies 🦆—this week we finally stopped dodging the drama and dove headfirst into the fallout of Charlie Kirk’s death. And trust us, the headlines barely scratch the surface.

Nicky Trendz...

💨Hey Duckies! You know how we like to treat this podcast like free therapy? Well… consider this week’s episode one big group vent session.

At least the coffee beans! The t...

🎬 Hey Duckies! The New York Times just dropped their list of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century (so far)… and let’s just say, Not On My Watch List has thoughts. Manny Oso dives into why we probably didn’t need all three Lord of the Rings movies clogging up the list, and shares his shock at seeing not one but two Marvel flicks make the cut. Nicky Trendz, meanwhile, is waging war against anyth...
