Bubble Bath Stories w/Guest Norma Hernandez

Bubble Bath Stories w/Guest Norma Hernandez

Shhh!! We had to be quiet this time… For today’s episode, your Hosts Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso not-so-secretly invaded their local library to have special guest, Norma G Hernandez on the show. We tried to whisper, but this episode was too much fun to contain the noise! Norma is the author of “Blue is for Girls”, a new children’s book that inspires readers to embrace their genuine selves. It’s cute guys! We all read it and had to bring her to the show! Norma tells us about what inspired her to publish this short story. There is a lot in here. We talk about growing up Latín and Catholic with expectations. We talk about toxic Family trends and how we react. We talk about that White Communion Dress! Manny goes on a tangent about the color spectrum. Nicky brings it back to our off-fashion choices. Listen somewhere quiet, we tried to whisper… But anyway, you tell us! - is it time to retire the “Blue for Boys, Pink for Girls” thing already? - What trend from childhood do you wish you could have started? - Asking the Latinos, do your parents still have YOUR communion outfit??

Okay guys, we know you’re all getting overwhelmed with the March Madness brackets this year. So, your hosts are here to get your mind off of all of that with a bracket of our own!

VIP Prisoners

VIP Prisoners

‼️warning, this episode may be triggering due to the discussion of sexual assault ‼️ Hey Duckies! So Nicky said it, Prison is gonna be the new trendy place for billionaires. If you guys have been following Justice News, two of America’s certified billionaires are in deep trouble—two men who were once believed to be captains of their respective industries. But now, Sexual Assault, Coercion Tactics, and Sex Trafficking… are among the many accusations being thrown at Vince McMahon and Sean Combs. The one we are charging them with? Not paying your bills! For this episode, Nicky & Manny had to bring up these details. It’s just so eerie how similar the details are. These vastly different scenarios, with details that are very weirdly similar. Your hosts make sure to go over this with you. They also read the indictment, so you don’t have to. This is a conversation worth having. It seems like more and more, the truth is coming out for these men of power. Join us in this conversation, because I’m sure we all have an opinion. But anyway, you tell us! - who’s got the most to lose, Vince or Sean? - Which Billionaire is next? - Name a monthly bill more important than Hush Money. If you have the stomach, go ahead and read the Documents: https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/WWE_complaint.pdf https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/diddy-lawsuit-allegations-meek-mill-1234978595/ To keep up with the Ducks in charge follow: FB & IG: @Bubblebathstories Nicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZ Manny Oso IG: @gotnotime4diss For official Merch head over to Bubblebathstories.co ☎️ Or call us at 347-878-1144 !!!📞

Manners Of A Criminal

Manners Of A Criminal

Hey Duckies! Whole scrolling on X, Nicky Trendz found an interesting conversation happening about New Orleans and the excellent manners their criminals have. It starts out with the comment about how “nice” the killers in New Orleans are. From there people start chiming in the same. Some of these comments though really had us laughing! Makes us wonder about the manners in other cities. Do the killers hold open doors and help old people cross the street where you’re from? Do they say things like “excuse me miss, I’m bout to rob this store”? Tell us!

I’m an adult?!

I’m an adult?!

Do you act your age? We hate that phrase. Who’s the judge of that? The only one you should be listening to is yourself. However, what happens when you’re saying that to yourself? We’ve all heard of Imposter Syndrome; how about Age Imposter Syndrome. “I’m 37, but why do I not feel 37?” It’s hard not to compare yourself to your peers. Especially when it’s in front of you. While watching Next Level Chef Manny Oso felt it. Most of the contestants are his age running kitchens and restaurants. Then Nicky felt it while over a friends house, noticing their Nuclear Family Style. Does the thought of Age Imposter Syndrome affect you or someone you know? Let’s find out! But anyways, you tell us! - Are you where your Childhood-self said you be by now? - Are you the one people look to, to emulate and be like? That’s growth, right? - why does Brunch seem so much harder now?

Generation Hater

Generation Hater

Don’t be a hater, Duckies! That’s the theme for this episode. And damn, does Manny really try. We start this episode by asking Manny Oso to say 1 nice thing about Generation Z. If you don’t know, like he didn’t, that’s the population born between 1997-2012. We ask, because Nicky Trendz is tired of the older generations bitting on younger people’s success. This past week Megan Thee Stalion released “Hiss”. A single for her upcoming new album. This song was laced with references and clap backs at her recent haters. Most notably, Nicki Minaj. Listen to it. See if you can find these poetic burns. The problem really arose with Minaj’s odd choice of defense. Her troops got ready to rally at the helm, and she didn’t seem to actively call them off. It really arose a feeling in Nicky TRENDZ about when Gen Y’s and X’s just don’t support the next class enough. Gen X tends to hate as much as Boomers. Trendz doesn’t like that. But anyways, what do you think? - did Megan’s new release really set the nail down on the beef? Or can Nicki recover? - What kind of common ground do you think Gen X, Y, and Z can find with each other when it comes to working relationships? - Can you think of something nice to say about Generation Y? (Asking for Manny) Watch The Video!

She walked🚨🚨Special Guest Alert🚨🚨 Guys, we are so excited to bring this episode to you! A little bit ago we connected with a local creator to exchange pointers on her trip to Coachella. We hit it off after seeing how funny and entertaining she is. Then we heard her music and HAD to have her on! Kristen joins us, IN STUDIO!, to tell us her story. And who can’t relate? Walked away from a lucrative career to follow her passion. We find that nepotism doesn’t always help. We talk about Oldest, Middle, and Other Child Syndromes with her. And we also talk about what it takes to succeed.  It takes a lot to walk away from a life you built. It takes more to rebuild one. You need some real Unmatched Pu- - - wait, can we say that?

Can I Live?

Can I Live?

So when a public figure leaves office or retires, is there business still our business? That’s the question. Okay guys, so last week The NY Post reported an image of former mayor Bill De Blasio casually sitting in a diner. Drinking coffee. Dressed in,… well, dressed normal. Like he was waiting on his laundry. Nothing wrong here. So naturally they pounced on it and made it a thing. Oh boy did they have Manny Oso as a mark. With little, to no extra information he already decided De Blasio was in the midst of a divorce, running off with a mistress and almost homeless … then Nicky read the story. And read into it. It’s nothing like that. Join us today as we ponder how long a celeb or ex mayor should wait to re-join society. But anyways, you tell us! - which public figure disappeared into the public the best? - Does an ex-mayor even get to slide if his moves affected you? - What do you think of our set-up? We’re trying!

Merry Christmas Duckies!

Here at the studio, we love to uphold the proper traditions. This season, Manny Oso keeps his life of watching annoying Christmas Movies. Some are hits,… some are not. This go-around, the films brought us the annoying game, Is This a Child or Is This An Adult? In the new Disney+ series, The Santa Clauses, the new elves are actually played by kids. Child actors hitting these one-liners like adults. Nicky Trendz is pretty surprised. She wonders with Manny Oso why not just use kids for these roles more often? The kids know how to act now! Manny Oso really thinks the De-Aging is outta hand. When the actors are too old, it. Can’t be that hard to find a similar-looking young actor. We’re looking at you, Disney!

But anyway, you tell us:

- What’s more appropriate, children or adults playing Santa Elves?

- What childhood toy would a Santa have to show you to prove he is THE Santa?

- How do you get a new Elf? Plant a seed or cut a finger off and grow a new one? (Asking for a Friend)

Labels?, Who Needs Them?

Labels?, Who Needs Them?

A few weeks ago Forbes released their yearly “30 Under 30 List”. This is the list of people Forbes consideres the young go getters that are helping change and mold and influence and make the world better. This year, the cover for the issue was none other than Bad Bunny. El Conejo, himself. This was great and well deserved… then, they decided to dub him The King Of Pop. That’s where the conversation started. Many people out there have voiced their opinions, to and fro on this King Of Pop title. - - wait, when did Beníto turn Pop? We must have missed that when he has doing all his music and interviews in Spanish, singing with Mexican Bandas and flying 20 feet off the top rope in WWE. Well, Nicky Trendz does not agree. She’s more inclined to say there is no King. MJ was the only one and the title is unnecessary to anyone else making a name for themselves. She scoffs at any attempt to name a new one. Manny Oso doesn’t think you can call yourself a King if you can’t command the masses. So far, he says Taylor & Beyoncé are the only ones who can do that! Amazing artist, yes. Great performer, duh! Perfect spokesperson for any brand, arguably yes! … king of Pop? That’s the argument… But anyways, you tell us! - which musician’s honorary title do you disagree with? - When will there ever be an Undisputed King of Pop? - I mean, COULD Bad Bunny influence the next election? - What does Manny Oso mean by “Daffy Ducks of Podcasting”?

The stereotypes people have about NYC, and Tampa can be funny. But they can also hurt! I mean, have any of you ever been to Tampa? Today‘s episode has Nicky Trendz wondering where these ideas come from. Isn’t crime up everywhere? What makes NYC so different? Don’t people pay outrageous rent in all major cities? Aren’t there worse Florida cities than Tampa? … well that last one is up for debate. Manny Oso even found a list of jabs and jokes Hollywood has made at Tampa’s expense. Or as some would call “the Sacramento of the the Eastern Coast” We’re here to set the record straight.. or try to. You won’t get mugged just by walking around the NYC subway.

It's Giving...Disorder!

There are so many heroes in the comics, that we should all try to find someone to relate to. Maybe it’s for their Origin Story, maybe it matches yours? Or is it their gallery of allies, and they remind you of your friends? … or is it, maybe… their mental issues, and you can relate? So Nicky Trendz had to ask herself, why am I such a Batman Fan? Does his game plan work? He catches these guys, but why are his villains always escaping? Is he just not that good of a hero? Actually, what’s wrong with all of them? When she decided to ask The Chat Bots, she got a whole list! We need to bring this to you guys. You wouldn’t believe the disorders these heroes have been categorized as. Abandonment Issues, Disassociation Disorders, PTSD… adrenaline junkies, who knows! But we all have issues, right? These guys have SUPER Issues! But anyway, you tell us! - Which Superhero do you think needs the most therapy? - Is Batman just a whining brat? - How did you tell ChatGPT that Harley Quinn is a Superhero?

Gentrification, am I right?

Gentrification, am I right?

What’s the last big change you remember seeing in your neighborhood? Like, a shop closing or opening. A Citi Bike rack installed…. A Cupcake shop? (That’s Manny Oso asking) There has been quite the increase in gentrified planning around the recording studio. Nicky Trendz sees these app-based bike racks popping up taking parking spaces, wondering how many more they need to add. While Manny Oso sees them and wonders how many more WILL they add… since he uses them! Everyone is an opinion on gentrification. Some good some bad. Mostly bad. Manny Oso thinks some of these changes can be enjoyed. New shops. New resources.- - Nicky Trendz knows all these improvements always come with a cost. It’s the on going debate!

Scandalous! (Ashley A. Voice) Remember that? It comes to mind anytime Manny Oso makes a gaff and tries to play it off like it was planned. Or when Nicky is out in an awkward situation and needs to react! These two try, but thank God they’re not that famous, because the headlines would be eye rolling! On this episode, your Hosts come clean with a couple personal stories that would make great celebrity scandals. Manny Oso recounts a time he went over a girlfriend’s house and should have taken the trash out, too. Eww!

This month has been a bit of let down though, cuz most of the scary movies we played have been making us laugh. No one likes that, right? If you do that’s fine. But we need frights! Nicky Trendz lets us know where these failed. The faces don’t say Horror and the stories don’t compel enough. Manny Oso had to resort to the 80’s and bring back Jason… with hilarious results! But Manny has his own complaints about the state of Horror Films. While there’s some gems out there, there are too many fakes. We need to discuss this!

And that’s the great thing about living in Manhattan, people are always talking so loud. You can hear the whole story if you wait long enough, and delay yourself to the next train. This week, he had to bring you guys this conversation he overheard between this couple. You’ll definitely have an opinion on this one. So, take a listen and let us know, are we the same? Whilst in McDonald’s, there was a couple arguing about their order. “Argue” is a wrong word, but let’s use it! This all seemed to revolve around the Lady not knowing her Man’s official Order. He seems to expected her to remember by now. - - - let that sink. Okay, so the question is, who is wrong here. We don’t know and need you to answer! So you tell us… - Is this guy getting clowned at work or is it all in his head? - Is it too much to ask, that your Significant Other expects you to know their preferences? - What do you this conversation was REALLY about?

The Perfect Self Date

Duckies, how are we now at the point that there is no one left to date, except ourselves? While browsing the articles, Manny Oso found this gem on the NY Post about Master Dating? It’s a TikTok trend that all about taking Yourself out on the perfect date. Like, dinner for 1, no phone at the table. Dress up nice. Uber Black… you gotta see it! It did get your hosts thinking about things. How bad is it, really? For single people. It seems the older we get the more we see it.

Neighbors in the Wild

We all have them! Nosey neighbors. Intrusive neighbors. People in our neighborhood you just wanna _______!!!! … but you can’t. Nextdoor came around and changed how we gripe about our neighbors. You have it right? It’s the funny little green app that tell you what you neighbors are up to. This week Manny Oso found us a couple gems. One story is about a Lady who asks if her neighborhood would benefit from a Dress Code Policy. The other is a PSA to warn you about people drinking from your drink at a restaurant. We sprinkle in a few more, but these cannot be made up! This app was built to help bring us together, but it feels like it’s really tearing some people apart.

“Reality Bites”

“Reality Bites”

Everyone is looking for their slice, right? At the end of May the SAG-AFTRA & WGA members began the strike that effectively halted production all over Hollywood. These past few weeks, Nicky Trendz found that reality shows are now looking for their slice. Bethany Frankel has been leading the march for reality stars to get their own benefits. And guess what? It’s getting traction. So your hosts had to bring this to you. There’s a lot going on with this. Frankel hired high profile lawyers to help draft out plans. Other former and current reality stars are standing behind her. Many producers are agreeing with the movement. And to top it off, Reality TV is a Major Player in ratings and streaming. Read the numbers, you’d be surprised. Heck ask one of your friends, I bet you one of them could explain the “Scandovl” to you! With Scripted shows on the shelf, Reailty TV and Sports May just take over,… again! But anyways, you tell us! - Do these Reality Shows deserve these demands they’re asking for? - Are you guilty of scrolling to Real Housewives Of Insert-City-Here when your usual shows get shelved? - Settle an argument, who’s the biggest of villain in Real Housewives History?

“Not Your Kid’s Cartoons!”

“Not Your Kid’s Cartoons!”

Yes, we can’t help ourselves! They’re funny, they’re quirky, and above all else, they’re real! We’re talking Adult Animated Shows. You know the ones we mean. Not “Beavis & Butt Head” or even Family Guy. We mean the real ones. Just to rattle off a few, Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso brought you some that really dive deep for them. BoJack Horseman, Big Mouth, Human Resources, & F Is For Family. These are the kinda shows that make you say “pay the Writers what they’re worth!” Nicky particularly loves how Human Resources personifies Feelings and Trauma. And Manny loves how these shows have perfectly explored a topic to outrageous for Live Action. Like puberty! Series’ like these really dive into our minds and past, then make us point the fingers at ourselves and say “see, you do this too!” … then hopefully laugh a little bit about it. But anyway, you tell us! - What animated show really speaks to you as an adult? - Are there other psychological or behavioral subjects, like Puberty, you believe are more suited for animation, than live action? - How many of you are swearing off Netflix this month just to go back to it next month?

"Boundaries"

"Boundaries"

OMG Duckies… it’s Manny Oso’s favorite segment, again. You all Love to Love It! The World Hates Women: Boundaries Hate Women. That’s right. This week, we were blessed with, not one, but two examples of of the War On Women. You Nicky and Manny just had to give you the 411. Keke Palmer has a hater in her mix. She attended an Usher performance and when the outfit was revealed, the Nope actor’s baby daddy tweeted out something negative about it and it got him some major heat on the Twitterverse. Soon after that, Jonah Hill’s ex girlfriend went public with receipts on his apparent toxic relationship traits. Read the screen shots. The list of demands he asks if her are highly questionable. Boundaries. The word gets thrown around a lot, but not often used correctly. Sure, all sexes & genders have culprits that impose unrealistic and unreasonable “boundaries” on others. But let’s be real, cuz in this episode we’re talking about guys using “boundries” to keep women down… cuz you know,apparently, the world hates Women. But anyways you tell us! - Do you think Jonah Hill is outta line? - Is Therapy Talk being over used an abused by the unprofessional’s out there? - What are your unreasonable “Boundries”? (Fake answers only) Did you read Jonah Hill’s texts? It’s only real if TMZ reported it: https://amp.tmz.com/2023/07/08/jonah-hill-ex-girlfriend-sarah-brady-posts-texts-blasts-him/ What do you think of what Darrius Jackson tweeted about Keke Palmer… oh yeah, that’s his name: https://www.sportskeeda.com/amp/pop-culture/news-what-darius-daulton-jackson-say-keke-palmer-tweet-sparks-backlash-amid-usher-concert-outfit-remarks To keep up with the Ducks in charge follow: FB & IG: @Bubblebathstories Nicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZ Manny Oso IG: @gotnotime4diss For official Merch head over to Bubblebathstories.co

"How to Avoid Pissing People Off"

Time grind some gears duckies! Today’s episode is one of those, again. We are now halfway through the year and your Hosts have some grievances to air. First up, Manny Oso has Tech-y question. Technically speaking, who is in urge of getting the TV connected at a sports bar? Why are there still connection issues at the start of an event? Make this make sense… Nicky Trendz shoots in with her concerns, which are more worldly … why do Visitors insist on walking slow in cities like NYC? On the Train. On the sidewalk. Then there’s the standing, and not knowing where to stand. … standing?! oh don’t get Manny started the n where to stand! Strap in Duckies! Festivus came in July this year! But anyways, you tell us! - Should commuters leave earlier or should visitors just stay home? - When did you learn to look both ways before crossing the street? - Tell us, what’s grinding you gears this year!

If You had a Billion Dollars...

If You had a Billion Dollars...

Morning Duckies! It’s Monday, and man what a week it’s been! The world has been glued to the screens for updates on the recent submarine disaster with extreme-tourism company OceanGate Expeditions, in which 4 Passengers and the company CEO all died. For a week we were all wondering what happened, how they were going to be saved and how long they had to do it. The details that came out day by day were stunning. By now you’ve all heard the news. The sub imploded, instant death, cavalier CEO, little-to-no oversight… - - it was a recipe for disaster. Nicky and Manny make sure to go over those details. But another question comes up. WTF are billionaires spending their money on? This kinda thing never slows down an industry. Manny Brings up Ice Climbing and Heli-Skiing and BASE Jumping. But wonders, what’s the reason behind that? What are you discovering? And Nicky can’t stop but muddle over the numbers. $450Million Yacht? $48Million Mercedes? $1k to touch it?! Really? $15k to climb Mt Everest? What are you gonna do when you get up there? Most of this stuff looks pretty dangerous guys, so why eat the rich, just let them eat themselves! But anyways, you tell us! - What form of Extreme Tourism attracts you? - Should billionaires just GIVE their money to the scientists, and just stay home? - Would you rather see Zuckerberg vs Musk on UFC or WWE?

The Ultimatum: Queer Love

The Ultimatum: Queer Love

So, it happened, Duckies. A bit ago, your Hosts gave you a review of a Netflix’s The Ultimatum. You remember, it’s one of those ridiculous reality shows with equally ridiculous couples? - - Yeah, so Netflix released the next version, The Ultimatum: Queer Love. But don’t worry, cuz we watched it, so you don’t have to! This time though, we needed some help. I mean come on, nobody wants to hear a couple cisgender’s review this show! Come on guys, it’s Pride Month. For a little Back Up, we brought in a couple of our chief online-corespondents. One of our favorite things to do is turn Fans into Guests. Abe is a veteran listener of the show. A photographer and lover of a good catty conversation. Leo is, well, he’s OUR Leo. Don’t get on his bad side! We asked these two to help us watch this garbage fire of a Reality Show with us, so you don’t have to! Abe is the note taker, he makes sure we get a complete rundown of these couples. And Leo is ready to just get into what makes each character so trashy. Some we are fans of. Manny & Nicky can’t help hit root for Lexi. She so well put-together, if this were a competition show, she’d have to win! And Mal? Well, Leo and Manny agree, that Hat Game of her’s is on point all season! We’ll make sure to go thru it all for you, Duckies. Who needs to tie the knot already. Who needs to be voted out! Who needs to rethink life. And of coarse, who needs to have their own show! But anyways, you tell us!

Bubble Bath Stories w/ Guest Papi Rossa

Hey Duckies! I hope you’re ready for this week’s episode! We sure had a lot of fun! Your host was joined by a special guest and entertainer to the World, Papi Rossa. After attending Papi Rossa’s sold-out variety show, we had to have this star on here. Such an amazing person with a fascinating background. Papi Rossa starts with telling us about his younger days growing up in Jamaica. Living on a resort in privilege only to come to Florida and have it all flip. We talk about his inspiration growing up and how the Name came to be, who Papi Rossa keeps the performances for, and how important it is to let things go. We also ask who’s the hottest guy in Hollywood! We had to do it! You know these interviews Nicky and Manny pit together are always longer ones, so maybe 2 cups of coffee with this two parter! But you tell us! - have you thought of advice for your younger self? - What stereotype do you think you tend to live up to? - what do you think of Chris Pratt’s Cuddly Man phase?

Bud-Not-So-Wiser

Bud-Not-So-Wiser

You know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This week, oh boy have people been showing! This month, to promote a March Madness contest, Dylan Mulvaney partnered with Bud Light to release an ad on Instagram. Intended to help the company move forward with a more inclusive brand and to clean up their “frat boy” image. This was spearheaded by new VP for Bud Light, Alyssa Heinersheid. When it released, the Right went nuts! Suddenly there’s this huge movement to “save our beer” and a protest against Bud Light and related brands. Kid Rock released a video shooting a bunch of cases of beer declaring his protest. Musicians removed the beverage from their Tours. And Marjorie Taylor Green went and bought Coors instead. So you know, your Hosts had dive in this one. Nicky brings up the question that comes up all the time: why are people BUYING the merchandise to destroy it? The company now has your money. Manny does mention how this protest has actually affected Anheuser-Busch financially, as they reported a $6 Billion loss by a company Donald Trump Jr. called “conservative leaning”. This leads both your hosts to baffle at the fact that DTJ is now your voice of reason. What a world we re in folks! But anyways, you tell us! - What do you think about Protesters buying merchandise just to destroy it? - Is poring all that beer down the drain bad for you septic system? - Is there something wrong with Kid Rock, like emotionally?

How The Mighty Have Fallen

How The Mighty Have Fallen

They always say, the higher your rise the bigger your fall… or something like that! Duckies, this past week we all witnessed two major falls. Both have all of America full of opinions. First, we want to bring up 45. This week, ex-President Donald Trump was officially indicted on charges stemming from a Hush Money Scandal he is involved in. Boy are people talking about this one! Pornstars, crooked lawyers, fake campaign donations and Trump at the center of it! Manny Oso has one question, who hides money like this as a campaign donation? And then there’s screen star Jonathan Majors. Last week, this man was involved I his own scandal. After being arrested and released, we all learned we allegedly assaulted his girlfriend in a car over a cell phone and text message. We’ve all heard the story, but most are baffled to see it with this man. The fuel is added when we all get to see the screenshots! Let’s just say, this make Nicky Trendz question the purpose of them. You be the judge! These stories are still fresh and developing, so let’s all stay tuned! But anyways, you tell us! - Do you think it was a good idea to release the text messages? - How would you go about hiding $130,000? - How often does your spell-check make you look bad?

Another Unpopular Opinion!

So the last few weeks, Duckies, Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso have been working on & releasing episodes for the new Group Discussions segment. So, while they may seem put-together on Social Media, today’s episode they want to tell you about some Fails they’ve been having these last few weeks! But it happens to all of us, right? No one can have a truly perfect week. Manny Oso starts off with his problem with Gaming. Let’s get to the point, where did all the damn Cut Scenes come from?! He’s not a big fan of “sitting around to find out”. Nicky comes in with the frustration of her Birthday announcements. Not that it was bad, but let’s just say Work Place Birthday Shout-Outs can backfire. Wait, isn’t it HR’s job to notify everyone of an upcoming Birthday? But don’t worry. Cuz after that, there’s nosy neighbors complaining about nothing, Porch Pirates ruing our recording upgrades, and unexpected entrance lines! Remember, adult maturity means choosing your battles. But anyways, you tell us! When did you first realize you started maturing as an Adult? What’s the deal with porch pirates? I thought that was just a pandemic thing.

Power of Fandom

Power of Fandom

Oh no she didn’t! … she did! How dare he! … he dared! Have you guys been seeing all the scandalous news this week? Cheaters, haters, and pettiness galore! But not so much from who you may think of. Your Hosts had to bring it up! The problem with these scandals, though, isn’t so much the Celebs, but how the Fans and Stans have been handling it. Recently, Michael B. Jordan was involved in a minor moment. We all saw how he called out an old classmate out on the red carpet. Also, we all have our own opinion on it. What not many have seen is the backlash on the interviewer, Lore’l. Then there’s the Vanderpump Rules ordeal. Tom Sandoval has been caught cheating on Ariana Madix. Don’t worry, Nicky goes into a full explanation for us! This one was interesting, because people who aren’t even on the show are being affected. Of course, they have to draw a line in the sand and choose a side for this Selena Gomez vs Hailey Bieber “thing”. Can you believe it all started because of an Eyebrow comment? Manny can’t. Can you believe the scandal cost Bieber 50k Followers overnight, while garnering 4 Million for Gomez… at the same damn time! Strap in for this one, Duckies. It’s another rant! But anyways, you tell us! How differently would you have handled Jordan’s Red Carpet moment? Is protesting a Celebrity Offender’s restaurant a good idea?

Lights! Camera! Action! … time for a roll call, Gang! Who listening can call themselves a Cinephile? A Film Enthusiast? A Movie Lover? Today, your hosts brought you a special guest. Antonio Polanco has been a self a described Cinephile for years! His love for films goes beyond blockbusters and cult hits. Follow his pages and you’ll see recommendations for new and old movies that may have never hit your radar. Probably one of the reasons in 2019 & 2020 that he decided to start work on publishing The Cinephile Catalogue. In this film journal, you’ll find a massive list of movies. From cultural hits to thought provoking documentaries, to arguable awards winners to massive industry losers. Antonio made this for all of us to file, list, categorize, and rank all the films we know & love and don’t know & hate. Films that you may need to search for. And films that you may want to go back and re-watch. This one went over time, but you can’t blame them! Manny Oso, a film researcher himself, makes sure to grill him on his entries. There’s a list of Worst Movies he has questions about. And Nicky Trendz makes sure to ask what we’re all wondering, “What’s Your Top 5?” Is anyone ever ready for that question? But it’s not just movies. They also go over the theatre industry. They ask him what he thinks of AMC’s Ticket Tier prices and what’s the perfect screen to enjoy a film on. Damn! They never asked him how he likes his popcorn! But anyways, you tell us? - what’s your Top 5 films? - What’s your perfect Theater Experience? - Settle the argument: What is the worst Medea movie? Cuz they’re all funny!

Hey Gang! There was a recent piece in New York Magazine Manny Oso read. In it, the writers penned out a new set of 140 Rules For Behavior in society. This was a real interesting read. We all know there are certain ways we must conduct ourselves. Stuff like holding a door open for a old person. Or maybe, the toilet seat conversation. However this article wrote these down for us. Some of them are forgettable. Duh, stay off your phone while at dinner. But some are,… well, we’re just glad someone finally said it. Don’t talk to your animal in THAT voice in public, right?! Special treat for ya’ll, too. Your hosts needed another perspective. So they brought back Danielle! You’ll remember her from the Meyers-Briggs Test they took. Anyways, Nicky Trendz, Manny Oso & Danielle are here to break down the rules for you. They’ll cover as many as they can. There’s some real debatable ones. Like #12, or maybe #30. Some others are 100% agreeable. Like #23 & #14! … everything from #84 to #91 is up for discussion! I know, it looks like a long episode, this was supposed to be a 15 Minute Conversation Starter, but oh well, these things had to be said. But anyways you tell us! - what are some new rules you really agree with? - How many of these new rules have you broken so far?

Alright Gang, we are now 1 month into 2023. Let’s check in. How is the future treating you? Ya know, in the times we live, they say Technology has advanced more in the past 10 years than it has in the last 100 years? So then how is tech treating ya? Manny Oso brings up his and everyone’s challenges with Netflix and how they’ve learned how to keep us from Password Sharing. Early this Winter, Netflix announced a new sweeping policy against Password Sharing. How they’ll achieve this is yet to be understood, but it got Nicky Trend thinking of other Tech that has basically backfired on convenience. Weather it’s Apps, Devices or just plain ol’ bad reception, it’s all kinda become a chore, am I right? But anyways, you tell us! To be or not to be, a Netflix subscriber?

The Art of Losing

The Art of Losing

Hey guys. So crazy news came out. Manny Oso had to share it. So, in November 2022 Republican, Former New Mexico State Legislature Candidate was arrested for allegedly paying Gunmen to shoot at the homes of 4 Local Democratic Officials. Solomon Peña lost his election in November 2022 by a landslide, claiming Election Fraud. Police say, after Democratic Officials rejected his claims, Peña conspired to attack their houses. The story is still developing with more dirt burying the guy as time goes. Well guys, this had us thinking, have you ever had to take an L? I mean really HAD to take it! Sometimes, we don’t know when to Quit While You’re Ahead. Or you know, take the Loss before things get worse. Manny Oso shares a story from his college days, when he quit a job before having another on the line. And spent the next 6 months trying to “figure it out” instead of asking for help. Mistakes were made. You be the judge. Then Nicky Trendz gives us a story about a time she was denied entry to a club and, well, she didn’t quite no how to take it at the time. This one took some prying, not her proudest moment! But anyways, you tell us! What’s the worst L you ever refused to take? Have you ever been refused entry to a club? If Peña gets out, you think he’ll be Santo’s running mate?

Famous For Being Famous

Famous For Being Famous

Nepo Babies! It’s what we’re wondering about. Towards the end of 2022 Twitter went buzzing about the term. A Nepo Baby, or the child of a famous actor. Many wondering about the roles they seem to be landing with ease. Some aren’t even actors. Models, like Bella Hadid are even using their family connections to to gain acting roles. Is it wrong? Who knows. One expert said “In an industry built on reboots, a famous last name can be valuable intellectual property.” Sounds ‘bout right. America loves legacies and a passing of the torch. A child following in the parents foot steps… Didn’t we fight a war about that once? Anyways, Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso are here to give you the skinny on what they think. But anyways, you tell us! Should Hollywood make their own kids work harder for roles? What do you think of Models transitioning into actors? Would you rather see a movie string Tom and Chet Hanks, instead? (Nicky would! Lol) Read the Story from New York Magazine about Nepo Babies: https://nymag.com/press/2022/12/extremely-overanalyzing-hollywoods-nepo-baby-boom.html Ang Lee casts his own son, Mason Lee to play Bruce Lee in future biopic: https://ew.com/movies/ang-lee-directing-bruce-lee-biopic-starring-son-mason-lee/#:~:text=The%20Life%20of%20Pi%20director's,Bruce%20Lee's%20daughter%2C%20Shannon%20Lee.

The Disappearing Content

The Disappearing Content

Hey Duckies! How many of you, like us, thought you’d be starting the year off right, by watching some of your favorite past TV shows and current new ones? Maybe catch some fully filmed movies you’ve been anticipating this year, only to see that inevitable list of cancelations. Well, it happened again! In December 2023, after acquiring HBOMax, Warner Brother Discovery released a list of project they have chosen to cancel. The choices have really set people off. Many Latin and LGBTQ+ based shows were canceled, again. But others were real head scratchers. Westworld was not only canceled, but removed from the platform with no word on the future availability. Other projects, like the much anticipated Batgirl, were completely shelved after completing production. This one really hit Manny Oso. With the fate of the critically acclaimed Westworld, ow with it being thrown into the Void, people like him may never get to watch the series. And Nicky Trendz tries to makes sense of it, too. Some articles she brings up tell us that the problem may lie in that wait-and-see attitude. When shows stay on platforms but are never watched, thats money burning away to these Streaming Services. But anyways, you tell us! Did you get a chance to watch Westworld before it was removed? What show are you worried will get the axe in 2023? Who will pickup FBOY Island to finish they’re stories? Did one of you shows make the cut? https://hiddenremote.com/2022/12/08/every-show-cancelled-hbo-max-2022/ Turns out, age old classics aren’t safe either https://www.cartoonbrew.com/streaming/why-hbo-max-removed-hundreds-of-classic-looney-tunes-films-from-its-service-224691.html To keep up with the Ducks in charge follow: FB & IG: @Bubblebathstories Nicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZ Manny Oso IG: @gotnotime4diss For official Merch head over to Bubblebathstories.co

Southwest is Falling Down

Southwest is Falling Down

Happy New Year! Who doesn’t love this time of year? It’s filled with fun, games, traveling, and of course, canceled flights! If you stayed home over the holidays, you missed quite the show! All over the nation, travelers were preparing for this huge winter storm blanketing half the country with freezing temperatures. Cities all over were hit hard with extreme temperatures. Florida experienced 30° lows for the first time in decades! Residents of Buffalo, NY became trapped in snow. And the Texas power grid, well, it did it’s thing. With all this, you would think the airlines would be ready. Nope! Fortunately some, like Delta, were back up and running within the day. Unfortunately, for travelers with Soutwest Airlines, one of the largest airlines around and the biggest culprit of the week, the company CEO decided to cancel over 15,000 flights within 5 Days! Nicky Trendz tried making sense of it. In a short rant, she’ll tell you how this problem has been 20 years in the making. With 3 vastly different CEO appointed in the last 2 decades and an ancient operating system, it was bound to fail! There’s no way we can leave ya’ll without some helpful traveling tips, so make sure to listen at the end! But anyways, you tell us! Do you know any flight crew affected by these massive flight cancellations? Will the Dept of Transportation actually Fine SouthWest Airlines ? How long until those piles of unclaimed luggage are free to grab, like Lost & Found stuff?

Sometimes, Duckies, your hosts want to save you from the drama. So, to not waste your time, Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso sat down to watch Peacock’s new documentary series Casey Anthony: Where The Truth Lies. When first announced, this show got trashed with hate online. Most people just wanted to know why NBC would even give her any type of platform. After that, more people wanted to know if she would actually admit to the allegations. Manny Oso was just as frustrated as you may think, watching this! And he only saw the first episode. Aside from half the episode wasted on going over a case everyone knows about, he complains that the testimonials about Casey Anthony and her honesty make no sense. Major eye roll moments! If you’re curious about how this even go aired, Nicky Trendz touches on that. Listen, to settle your mind about who is actually getting paid to do this show. It’s not who you’re worried about. But anyways, you tell us! Does the True Crime genre go too far with this one? Who’s gonna make that tasteless Drama series first, Netflix or Hulu? How do you fix your streaming algorithm?

We Are Not The Same

We Are Not The Same

When news broke out over the summer that there would be a film coming out including a portrayal of Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, Manny Oso questioned the need. When that news included the role of Castro would be played by James Franco, questioned his excitement. In 2018 and beyond Franco was accused of sexual misconduct. It was crazy news at the time, because it was at the midst of his Golden Globe win. Anyways, fast forward to 2022 and this new film will be his first production since. While Manny Oso is on the fence about watching this movie, Nicky Trendz is convinced this needs a re-do, now. If proper representation in films is your conversation, this one is you! She’s at her whits with the White Washing in Hollywood. But what’s worse, is the lazy attempt to fill a Box, after finding out Bad Bunny will star as an MCU superhero, but he will be playing a Mexican character! But anyways, you tell us!
