    Look forward to this one every week!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since it started. Troy and Kelli are funny, have great rapport, and have some excellent insights on pop culture news. Troy is especially good with words, and has a real gift for summarizing in an intelligent, entertaining, and unique way. I listen to lots of pop culture podcasts, and this one is my favorite!!

    Love!
    Love this podcast! I referenced to Kelly as my friend the other day. Kelly and Troy really do just feel like having a conversation with friends. I’m really liking the newer episodes that are less just reading blinds and more just giving opinions and talking about things.

    Happy bday baby gurlll 🎶🎶
    Where to begin??? My love for Troy and Kelli knows no bounds. This show is a staple in my life, it brings me joy like nothing else. I would pay an exorbitant amount of money for their Patreon, just to get more content. Nobody is funnier, wittier, smarter, or sillier than Troy and Kelli. They are a gift to the world! Love you DOWWWNN!!!!

    Not me in a parasocial best friendship
    Love Troy and Kelli, their chemistry with each other and the fact that they’re genuinely fun makes this one of my favorite pods. They work really hard to put out a lot of content and every episode is good. Thanks for all you do & for swaddling us through all the rot!

    Forever listener
    Love Kelli and Troy so very much!!!! They are hilarious and their banter is the best. Such a great podcast to listen to on your commute, cleaning your house, and everything in between. It really is one of my favorites and one of my longest-listened to podcasts!

    As rotten as the Hollywood folks they speak about
    Literally was so obsessed with their chemistry and energy but just don’t get invested. How can I support someone’s opinions, freedom of speech and root for their sexuality, financially back all the above when they block me for being a loyal listener. You can’t bring up a topic in an open forum then block someone who [diplomatically] responds to it. Deeply disappointed in their inability to be open to dialogue as I thought they were so accepting and positive. One way street here. Just seem to be Unappreciative of all hard earned money, ungrateful, and epitome of the actual threat to democracy. Just listen to their free feed and don’t follow them on IG and you’re good.

    Troy and Kelli are the best - love the pod
    Have been listening since day one and am a patreon subscriber but realized I never left a review 😅 I love the pod - both the OG format and the new episodes covering more niche topics and deep dives (reminds me of dunzo, in a good way!). I like that Kelli and Troy each have different pop culture obsessions and blind spots - they balance each other out well. The episodes always come out on a consistent schedule which I appreciate.
  • Excellentboiledpotatoes
    Pretty good
    One of the hosts is a very gifted podcaster with seemingly effortless humor while the other kind of drags down the show. The ad segment is insanely long compared to similar podcasts.

    This podcast has altered my personality… update!
    The show continues to grow and evolve. I feel so connected to the hosts and the way they care so deeply about a lot of the more serious topics they dive into. They deal so often with the heavy stuff but don’t let it bog down the energy of their banter or the show as a whole. I find myself constantly laughing along with troy and Keli!! For anyone leaving a less than rave review…. As carrie Bradshaw would say, “you just don’t get it” XOXO, a three year fan.

    Absolutely LOVE Troy, he is so full of personality. Unfortunately Kelly does not seem to have opinions of her own and definitely rides his coattails.. but I guess that is natural since he is such a STAR.
  • QuitTakingMyNicknamesMan!
    Lost Its Way
    This show is so boring now and their “takes” are consistently bad and contradictory.
  • Kelizabeffer
    Creepy laughs and too many ads
    Can’t deal with the creepy laughs and all the ads
  • kodakblc
    Does Troy have any black friebds?
    Does Troy have a personality outside of Britney Spears?
  • Kltp9000
    Keeps evolving and become better and better
    This podcast was fabulous to begin with; however the hosts’ ability to continue to evolve into further deep dives on current pop culture topics is chef’s kiss!
  • Jacq.n.jackson
    Toxic
    I use to really enjoy this show, especially the Pop Culture Kiki episodes but lately Troy has brought such a toxic energy to the pod. He’s so unhinged and not in a funny or even justifiable way.
  • Oneslfs
    Too many ads
    Love this show but it feels like recently there are soooooo many ads! It feels like almost half of the episode is ads that are painful to listen to
  • Sw442
    Fun podcast!
    Ok so I gave you guys 5 stars already a while back and I listen every week to the pop culture kikis. This week with Kara Berry was the BEST! More of this content please. I love the pop culture episodes. I think Kelli & Troy have such great banter. I also like their voices. Which can’t be said for a lot of other podcasts I have tried listening to! Def recommend!

    My Fave Podcast!
    I love this podcast so much! I have really been enjoying the different variation of episodes. It always feels like I’m hanging with friends when listening and Troy is so funny!
  • Fenneken femine
    Chili peppers 🤮
    There’s a video of an early appearance by the chili peppers on a British or German TV show—-all of the band members take turns touching a young female guest on the panel—-without consent—-to the point where the host removes his suit jacket and covers her——gross. I love the pod!
  • SassyPantsPerry
    Love the show but..
    Love when you guys stick to Pop Culture, you guys are great. The Rotted series is my favorite! I look forward To the shows every week. However, I hate when they speak on politics it’s like the blind leading the blind. There are also way too many ads in one episode guys.
  • Dr. Nomecat
    Naomi got caught $ laundering & Hunger Games
    “Transferring jewelry and art” = money laundering, as does the charity front. I wonder how much money she moved for her pal Epstein. Previous: Thank you, sincerely, for calling out the Hunger Games of it all as we witness the horrors inflicted on Palestinians in our names.

    Swaddled by Troy & Kelli
    …should be the name of their celebrity fragrance. I love the pivot they are taking with this show.
  • drcards
    Pop Culture Kiki
    Troy and Kelli killed it with the Salt Lake City recap and impressions
  • Feliss2017
    Trust in Troy
    Really digging the new direction the pod has been going in and always love the pop culture kikis. Long time listener of Troy and it feels very vindicating having so many of the things he’s taught me come to light lately!! A prophet for the modern age
  • 0nlineboy
    a bit iconic
    love love love this podcast !!!! even the episodes I don’t think I’m going to have that much interest in/care about, I end up loving! perfect mix of nostalgia and current pop culture.
  • rissgar
    super entertaining!
    fun and great hosts with a plethora of pop culture knowledge
  • Lemonie Sue
    Favorite Go-To Podcast
    This podcast somehow strikes the perfect balance between intelligent pop culture / PR insights and light-hearted entertainment. Kelli and Troy invite you into conversation, drop truth bombs, but also have you belly laughing. I’ve introduced this podcast to my husband, my friends, the office…many Patreon members now with no regrets. Cheering to see how these two hosts continue to evolve there content. I am here for all of it!
  • Zowee Bowee
    Love Love Love
    My sister introduced me to this podcast a few years ago and I haven’t stopped listening since. They’re both so funny and the hilarious comments they come up with … ugh … *chefs kiss*. I look forward to their new episodes every week. They’re just the absolute best!
  • tess_kehoe
    I love Troy and Kelli!
    One of my all time favorite podcasts, I’ve gotten so many friends hooked on Troy and Kelli! I love their takes and little Kiki’s, hearing them giggle is the highlight of my day. Their Patreon is also very worth subscribing to, they always do a fabulous job picking the blinds and asking the Patreon members what we wanna hear through polls. Cannot recommend this podcast enough! Troy and Kelli have such a great dynamic together, I love their friendship.
  • cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Troy and Kelly are iconic
    This is one of the best pop culture podcast. Their kiki episodes are my favorites
  • Cas8189
    Best Celeb Podcast (allegedly)
    The only podcast I religiously keep up with every week. Troy and Kellie make you want to be best friends with them, their celeb opinions are so relatable!
  • ttryp
    My favorite duo
    This is my favorite podcast! Kelly and Troy always brighten my week. Saw them at a live show this summer and they’re as sweet and cute in person as they are on air!
  • AureliaF92
    My fav podcast
    As said in the title, it’s my go to fav show that i catch every week. I cannot undermine how much i appreciate Kelli & Troy’s show as a pop culture girly. They are my elder millennial counterparts that fill the void with Wendy Williams being away. I’ve been a listener since early 2022 when “blinds” were the main focus. Now they’ve leveled up to the Kiki’s which i really appreciate. Nothing but love for these guys.
  • CiaoBella505
    Fantastic pod
    This is a great pod! The hosts are delightful, and I find the topics interesting. Keep up the good work Troy and Kelli!
  • Shawn7536
    My favorite podcast!
    First of all im kinda obsessed with how clearly any negative review is like “I wish Tory and Kelli would think for themselves, and by that I mean agree with every delusion stan opinion I have as a listener!” Loveeee! Thank you Troy and Kelli for never catering to the children <3
  • stephdubarg
    Thanks to Troy
    Troy I can’t thank you enough for being so honest regarding Taylor Swift. I really question my own sanity with all the millions of Swifties defending her so blindly, it makes me feel like I’m living in a different reality. Thanks for being the voice of reason buy most of all, objectivity 🙏🏻.
  • gymnasticsgirl1096
    Obsessed
    Fell in love with this shows during my deep dive of all the kardashians. I came to a live show in Portland and am just obsessed with these two. I’ve never written a review but I’m writing one to share I am loving the mix of new different episodes that you are testing out. I love the blinds and I find myself becoming aliterate with reading blinds now hearing your most recent blinds ep!! Gotta keep in practice for those brain teasers lol
  • Snowceed
    One of my favorite pods!
    Kelly and Troy are smart and hilarious, quite literally going “Beyond the Blinds”. I’m really enjoying the recent expansion into Pop Culture Kikis and a bit of historic/old Hollywood discussions. I’m sure there will be some who whine about the discussions about the state of things, namely social issues, but personally I am here for it. I get that some may listen for “escapism” but one can only avoid reality for so long before you need to face it. Love the veneer being pulled back from this parallel reality that celebrities live and operate within. Warning: you’ll never take what celebrities say at face value again. 😂
  • SaraSabol
    THANK YOU
    Kelli and Troy’s monologues about school shooting made me cry. I’m a high school teacher in a “rougher” school where my kids go through metal detectors every morning and we have armed security guards who are former police officers. It is EXHAUSTING being a teacher and being afraid that someone could come into school to shoot it up makes it even more exhausting. Thank you for spending so much time on this, and for being so supportive.
  • JCannata
    Not what it used to be
    Not as entertaining or interesting as it used to be. They’re giving “pick me” vibes lately
  • NattMcG
    Tysm, alright?
    To Troy: “Where you lead, I will follow.” (Pls sing) Nothing against you, Kelli, but the Smush Room gave me…como se dice…purpose? Yeah, that. Those are simply just shoes you cannot fill, but I’m happy you’re here with us! Understand?
  • Raising Helene
    Love them, but
    Long time listener, and it’s a bummer to see how sanctimonious and self righteous the tone is getting… I love when they have opinions, and even disagree with each other, but lately it’s all been whatever the TikTok mobs are saying… with a heavy dose of self-righteousness… They were more fun when they thought for themselves. But I’m still here, and I’m seated … 🪑
  • IvetteDL
    Love yall!
    Please keep bringing up The Challenge on your pop culture kiki episodes! 💜 I love when my worlds collide 🤩
  • lekki lou
    What happened to the blind items?
    I love this pod so much. been a loyal listener for such a long time. but where have the blind items gone? I can’t lie, the new format is bordering on not only boring… but about uninteresting things and people.
  • emmaschock
    Pop culture EXPERTS
    I absolutely love this podcast and am giddy every week for that pop culture Kiki drop! I feel so in the loop of all the things, and always love Troy and Kelli’s takes. Even if I don’t always agree on their opinions of celebrities/events, I genuinely like to hear their take on everything—they are honest and don’t put every celebrity on a pedestal just to make people happy. Kelli and Troy are the pop culture guru gifts that keep on giving 🤩
  • Landie<3
