Show notes

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.

Call Her Daddy: Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn | 15 Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

Call Her Daddy, the podcast sensation that skyrocketed Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn to fame with their 'women's locker room talk,' hits an abrupt pause as the two go from partners-in-crime to sworn enemies. Two rising stars, a devoted fan base, a mysterious boyfriend named ‘Suitman’, and bigwigs at Barstool Sports all face off in an epic showdown. But what really happened? Was this a high-stakes battle for control of a multi-million dollar entertainment empire, or simply what some have called a “catfight” between two podcasters with overinflated egos? And in this high-stakes showdown, did Alex and Sofia weaponize their respective fan bases?

Chevy Chase and Dan Harmon | 14 Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

By the time Chevy Chase, the 66-year-old SNL alum joined the cast of Community, he’d earned a rep as an actor with an explosive temper who was difficult to work with. Community creator Dan Harmon was getting a bit of a reputation himself. He’d been fired from a high-profile show for refusing to take notes and for not getting along with his host. And now these two Type-A personalities were thrust together on the same show. What could possibly go wrong? Amid on-set spats, temperamental walk-offs, a vulgar voicemail, and dramatic firings and rehirings, Dan and the cast would wage war on Chevy Chase. In this episode, we’ll explore the complex history of the hit show Community and break down how - remarkably - two dueling supersized Hollywood egos still managed to create television magic.

Birdman and Lil Wayne | 11 Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

When an 8 year old Lil Wayne rapped for legendary producer Birdman in a record store in 1990, it started a decades long, multi-million dollar business partnership, and brought them as close as father and son. But years after Lil Wayne had signed to Birdman’s Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne sued Birdman and Cash Money Records, accused Birdman of thievery, and terminated all the love. But how did this father-figure and-son power duo become rivals? And how did money and power play into one of rap’s biggest showdowns?

Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan were the it-girls of the iconic Y2K era, photographed on just about every tabloid cover as a pair of party-girl best friends. But in 2006, a video of Paris mocking Lindsay with a derogatory nickname took the internet by storm, and the two would soon plunge into a highly publicized feud. Hilton and Lohan's feud has sparked speculation for years. In this episode, we unpack their messy falling out – and what it says about the dark side of early 2000s Hollywood fame.
