And I can say it’s 10/10 or a 5/5. It’s equal party yapping with the girls and thoughtful analysis of memoirs across the spectrum of fame.

Host extremely rude to Patreon customers who have a dissenting opinion or ask follow-up questions to statements made

I’ve been listening to CMBC and a handful of other comedy podcasts since the pandemic and as things have gotten crazier in this world, CMBC has called attention to important humanitarian and social issues. They also almost always make me laugh!! Thank you ladies for the work you do

I’ve been listening to CMBC on and off for a few years maybe less and have never had access to Apple Podcasts to leave a review until now. I rly wasn’t going to until I saw some of the idiotic reviews complaining about nonsense issues and I’m here to say this podcast is entertaining and funny. Don’t expect them to be experts on every celebrity bc they are comedians. If you’re going to complain abt their voices u might just hate women idk. I don’t agree with absolutely everything they say but you shouldn’t consume media expecting to completely align with everything you see. It’s entertainment and they do a good job!

I absolutely love this podcast! I love forward to it every week. It makes me feel like I’m an avid reader of memoirs without all the work. I love being a lil wormy!

This podcast is amazing and their Patreon is even better!

So good that even the episodes summarizing the memoirs of minor/unknown celebs, or totally uninteresting people, are still so funny, and engaging.

I started listening to this podcast while I was on maternity leave. I think it’s a brilliant concept for a podcast- there’s plenty of material to work with, there’s probably a celebrity you care about that they discuss, and you can jump in and out without needing to follow a narrative. I’m honestly so grateful to have this podcast while I took walks while pregnant, take care of my baby by myself during the day, and doing chores around the house. I was incredibly moved that they covered Diane Guerrero and chose such a timely book. I appreciate that they used their platform to highlight an issue that affects millions of people and has only accelerated in the past few months. I normally don’t bother leaving a review, but I had to show my appreciation for how they are using their platform.

Fun stuff! Ashley brings the fire with great recs (Diabolical Lies is awesome!) and Claire…summos are good too. Keep up the good work!

When I first listened to Clair and Ashley it was when the podcast was almost brand new-I was a little put off; at the time I didn’t get their deadpan humor. I have started listening again, and they are so, so funny. I highly recommend listening. Clair and Ashley, I really appreciate you cheering me up during some dark political times!

The Tori Spelling episodes are incredible. In fact, I’m going to go listen to them again now.

If, like me, your bestie lives far away and you need some good girl chat, this podcast scratches the itch of gabbing with your gals in a perfect way

I discovered this duo through tik tok, then i heard, via the who? weekly patreon, good things, & gave this podcast a whirl. what a good decision! this pod is addicting. their smart, snappy, intuitive takes are so refreshing. after listening to their backlog I gladly subscribed to their patreon. i’ve actually turned friends on to it who don’t care for celebrity news because these two talking about current events and media is worth the subscription, & i’ve yet to be proven wrong! it feels like your cool sisters friend is talking, you don’t wanna miss a beat. in the best way; you just wanna hang on every word.

Two best friends/comedians discussing memoirs that maybe should have never been written? Sign me up!!

Man, these girls REALLY hate Jay Shetty.

My fav pod for a long run

Currently binging every episode

I don’t honestly know why I love this podcast so much but I do. One of the highlights of my week. I love the snark, I love the sarcasm, it’s just the best

Love love love the Jay Shetty episode! Thank you for calling him out, what a ginormous pile of rubbish!Excellent work ladies!!

i especially like it when they really hate the book they’re talking about…when they get really mad…that’s the best!

My fav podcast. The Patreon is even better. I wish I could have these two in my ears all the time.

This podcast and Patreon used to be the highlight of my week but over the last 6 months or so I’ve found their ignorance more and more difficult to listen to.

I have been listening to this podcast for years (it is the only podcast I can truly say I’m loyal to), and it just never gets old. Claire and Ashley are so so funny and so smart and I’ve seen such an amazing development in their commentary which is so cool to experience. Can’t wait to see these gals live, I feel like they are already my friends (literally the closest experience I’ve had to a parasocial relationship haha). You have me loling when I least expect it. Celebrities better never stop writing memoirs please because I need this podcast!!!!!!!

This podcast has everything I’ve been looking for: stories that distract me from the persistent horrors & two people I feel like I’d want to be friends with. Keep it going, I’m hooked.

This podcast has always been great but Claire and Ashley just keep getting smarter and funnier through the years. I’m so proud of these two and what they’ve built.

Major mean girl energy

I love the girls’ take on the good the bad and the ugly of memoirs.

My favorite podcast! Interesting and funny, and very well balanced banter between friends. It really feels like you’re hanging with your favorite friends— goofy but not dumb. Absolutely love hearing about the internal life of Bug, a Lady of Many Charms and Skills.

I originally discovered them on TikTok after watching a clip that I disagreed with. So naturally I decided to “hate listen” to the whole episode. Turns out I was wrong. I’m obsessed with this podcast now and honestly grateful that I discovered them later in the game because now I have a whole backlog of episodes to binge.

I’ve been listening for years and at first my husband wasn’t into it but now he loves to listen too… at first he thought there were 4 hosts? Maybe because Claire and Ashley talk so fast? Idk but we’re big fans 😂 So funny and relatable.

I wonder if these women have ever experienced joy in their life. Half the episodes are just bad/hater energy lol but whatever. Some are alright!

I listen even if I don’t care about the celebrity it’s just so fun to listen to.

Great podcast! Funny, entertaining, and like hanging out with your friends gossiping about celebs.

Their podcast always hits 🫶

I love this podcast so much! Claire and Ashley are hilarious and every time I listen, whether or not I care about the celebrity, it is like I am meeting up with my best friends. Keep doing amazing work—thank you for being you!

These girls hate a person who mentions ADHD. I like a lot of episodes but definitely hurtful the way they talk about adhd.

Annoying both of them I just can’t unsubscribed!

Love this podcast and their Patreon! Claire and Ashy are fun and thought provoking.

My favorite podcast. I’ve been listening for almost four years and have yet to get bored of it. Really good Patreon content as well!

What a delight

Really enjoying listening. I love the celebrity gossip and life stories, but honestly find most of these memoirs unreadable. I’d much rather listen to Claire and Ashley summarize and give their opinions. If you are looking for a podcast that fawns over its subject and is always positive, this is NOT for you. The hosts are not afraid to be critical and even snarky, which is fun and refreshing in my opinion!

I love you guys so much I never miss an episode! Y’all make my tuesdays and I love how honest and insightful you guys are. Did I mention funny!

I love that this show tells me everything about the books I never want to waste the time to read. Love listening to gossip about people who are spilling the tea on themselves

I LOVE, their honesty in their opinions. They are also intelligent and funny. I do think sometimes they are a little bit too snarky. It’s not as fun to listen to when their disdain is dripping from their voices. One of them also has a vocal fry, which can sometimes be intense and hard to listen to through headphones. Overall, definitely worth listening to even though you don’t know who the celebrity is.

You Chicks make my work day SHINE like a diamond in the sky!!! More stories about Bug please 💘💋

Always want to read memoirs before t never get around to it, I love cmbc and their funny thoughtful comments. For future memoir recs I’d do Good Vibrations (beach boy) or Faithfull ( Marianne Faithfull) anyway love love love keep up the good work.

This is my top favorite podcast, I look forward to Tuesdays now just for the drop. Clarie & Ashely are hilarious. I wish I had their thoughts on every book I read. Went to a live show and had so much fun too!

I needed someone else who had the same questions as I did while reading “Dinner for Vampires” and now I’m binging everything they’ve done.

Vapid.

Hilarious hosts, celeb gossip…what more could you want?
