I'm so excited for this!! I saw what you did was such an amazing podcast. I miss them both and I'm so glad to have Millie back!!
Initially, I read the title as "Stop crying about my titles", and laughed when I realized what it was supposed to be.
I have been a fan from the beginning. It just keeps getting better. Love me some Millie and Danielle!
too much vanderpump . skip to the movies at 40:00
A true delight. 5 STARS.
hilarious...I need to quit listening to you two while I put on makeup...I end up crying off my eye liner, laughing so hard
This was a great episode! So happy you guys ate back.
so excited to see you guys are back....however, have tried on several different podcast apps to listen and there is an error...will not play! ugh. will try again tomorrow, to give your team a chance to fix. welcome back!
truly, you are both the coolest, and the reno updates give me the best vibes!
I had never heard of a cinnamon broom until today's discussion. Ordered one quickly....can't wait! :-)
I know it's a hard find but would love to hear you ladies review the movie Leech Woman! I used to watch it repeatedly with my mother on a visit that also had the Blob recorded on it lol
yep, im done👋 ladies start actually talking bout the movie, THIS INCLUDES THE ENDING. BYEEEE
At this point it's getting kinda annoying not getting the full story, basically. (talking bout spoliers) ITS A MOVIE PODCAST ,THEY TALK BOUT MOVIES! the movie yall do are older anywho?! you at least put the movie tiltle in the show notes?! really pulls away from getting the full thought/storyline, and i might have to stop listening because of this...
I've seen Cutting Edge!!! It was one of those cheesy, horrible movies that I loved as a kid.
had a cellphone for 10 years at least and didnt have a phone plan. nothing. slitch. (long story,I got kick off the family plan) people would ask for my number and I would have to explain to them... even if i had my phone out. so awkward and i would just have to laugh it off. I do have a plan now, but then next time i get the creeps or just simply dont want to give out my # 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Hilarious! I love this podcast! ❤
