Broads Next Door

Grab a box of tissues and your voodoo doll of Justin Timberlake because in this episode we’re time traveling back to the 90’s and 2000’s by way of The Woman in Me, the new memoir by Britney Spears. Using quotes from the book as well as news clips and interviews we’ll try to gain a broader understanding of the life of Britney Spears— how everything was taken from her and how she’s using her own voice to finally set the record straight.

Grab your camcorder & your belief that people deserve to be weird in peace — because today we’re getting a broader understanding of “Britney & Kevin: Chaotic” the five part 2005 reality series that was less of a show and more of a fever dream with a UPN budget and the plot of a scrapbook.

Britney is constantly being criticized for her Instagram but I’m here to tell you, she’s always been documenting her life.

The good, the bad, the music & the memories.

Turn on your dial-up modem & get ready to send this email to ten friends before a limewire virus crashes the family desktop- because today, we're getting a broader understanding of how the internet became an ad.

In this episode we travel through the ghost town of the old internet — through chain emails, geocities fan sites, LiveJournal confessions, MySpace betrayals, before making are way to the Facebook takeover & the rise of tiktokshop — all while asking:

When did our online diaries turn into shopping malls?

When did our friendships turn into feed suggestions?

And what do we do no...

Grab your push-up bra and your popsicles- because today we’re getting a broader understanding of the moment Mariah Carey “crashed” the set of TRL in the summer of 2001—and how the world absolutely lost its mind... while she was quietly losing hers.

More than just a glittery publicity stunt, this was a woman unraveling under the fluorescent lights of early-2000s scrutiny while society mocked her.

The jokes were cruel but in the end Mariah would get the last laugh.

Grab your ouija board and your teenage rage—because today, we’re getting a broader understanding of poltergeists

What if they aren’t ghosts at all? Not even a haunting but a manifestation? What if it’s all just the raw, unfiltered energy of adolescence, the force of pure, unspoken rage and heartbreak? A panic attack attack at a pivotal time, an attempt to be seen so strong it bends the astral realm itself- What if the scariest part of poltergeist activity is not that it’s real but that it’s us?

We’re going through the hi...

Get in your flight simulator & make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened as we look at season 2 of The Rehearsal where Nathan Fielder has taken on a broader subject than before- aviation safety.

Should we all develop a fear of flying or can a clown really change the world?

We’ll go over the episode (which feels like a comedy in the way The Bear feels like a comedy) while also exploring some of the crashes that are mentioned and some that are not.

Trade in your telescope for an adult diaper and ignore that court-issued restraining order, because today we’re getting a broader understanding of the 2007 astronaut love triangle.

Lisa Nowak became infamous after driving 900 miles in a space diaper to kidnap the new girlfriend of her astronaut ex lover- but the story behind the headlines is much more disturbing.

Lisa literally went to space but even before this- there were cracks.

We look at how the 2003 Columbia shuttle disaster sparked a series of events that may have drove Lisa to madness- and if nothing else ex...
