Gone Dissin’ - Be Right Back

Wondery
About this episode

Hey Diss and Tell listeners! What are we calling our listeners, Sydney? Do we have a name for them yet?

In my mind, I call them “Old Tellers.”

Sure, I like “Old Tellers” or “Lil Dissers.”

Oh.

Anyway, it's Matt and Sydney. We're hitting pause to really hunker down in our pop culture war room. You know, just picture us. Endless cups of coffee. Walls covered in timelines.

Red strings connecting everything.

Like full on Pepe Silvio with the strings, bloodshot eyes. We're really dedicating ourselves to the subject of celebrity feuds.

Keeping tabs on everybody.

Oh, absolutely.

I don't know about you, Matt, but I've got some pretty good stories coming up.

I don't know. I don't know if you can top some of the stories that I have coming up.

Okay. Does one of yours involve a Brainworms-ridden cast on Bravo, cannibalizing themselves because one member had an affair with another member of the cast, cheating on his life partner, that also happens to be on the show?

Hmm. I see that and I raise you. Scooter Braun. Okay. One of the most hated men in Hollywood currently.

Alright, okay. What if I told you that I have a little tale about an alleged scammer who painted her apartment floors white – though did not move piles of clothes from the floor before painting. And then also, for many years, sold people books that did not exist. But then got sold out by her former friend/ghostwriter. Do you know who I'm talking about?

I don't know her, which are famous words from the Feudster that I'll have for us, who has clashed with Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, everybody under the sun.

But of course, while we're off doing our sleuth thing, you can catch up on some of our earlier episodes. Britney's book is coming out next month. So, if you want a little refresher, our first two episodes of this show are all about her and her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears.

So go give those a listen if you haven't already.

Yep, and we will be back on Wondery Plus on October 2nd. To listen early and ad free, subscribe to Wondery Plus, an Apple podcast, or the Wondery app, or listen wherever you get your podcasts on October 9th.

Stay messy, “Lil Dissers.”

“Old Tellers” Or I'll take you out back.
