59. Current Events & Kevin Hart's Pint Sized Blind Items
This week's episode is the perfect example of someone who is highly requested but doesn't have enough blinds to fill up an entire episode. One would think that everyone's favorite tiny funny man would have a bunch, right? Kevin Hart is messy for sure but blind item wise? Well, you need to listen to find out! We start the blind items around the 49 minute mark. What do we talk about before? Rihanna, Hailey Bieber, Buzzfeed, Hayden, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and so much more!
58. The Blind Item Life of Angelina Jolie
This week we are covering one of our most requested celebrities and we are doing it on main! We want to trigger warning this entire episode!

Also, side note, we will be going into hiding after this episode because it's a doozy, to say the least.
57. Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers: The Blind Item Bowl
This week we decided to give sports a try and this episode is a touchdown. Too much? Probably.

Does Aaron Rodgers really need to just shave his beard? We discuss it all in this one! Go team!

If you're just here for the blind items skip to minute 39 where Troy takes the lead on talking about one of Hollywood's most underrated stars, Winona Ryder.
53. Rotted: Dan Schneider
This week we decided to release the Dan Schnieder episode. We stand by Jenette McCurdy and hope that we can bring light to what Dan has allegedly done behind the scenes of Nickelodeon. Please note that this was recorded in October 2021 so it's not completely up to date but it's very close to it.
52. Wilmer Valderrama's Drama
Well, that time has come to talk about Wilmer Valderrama finally. Kelli and Troy have mentioned him nearly every episode so it was time to dedicate an episode to the man.
