Listener Reviews

Who knew watching 90 Day Fiancé could lead to actual personal growth? Mattie and Poodle are hilarious, sharp, unapologetically feminist, and surprisingly insightful. They understand that beneath the spectacular dysfunction of reality TV are very real relationship dynamics, learned behaviors, and cultural expectations that deserve examining. The beauty of 90 Day Fiancé is that it magnifies the patterns we all recognize in our own relationships—just with worse decisions, questionable immigration motives, and a camera crew. In real life, those patterns are usually more subtle (and thankfully less entertaining). What sets this podcast apart is Mattie and Poodle’s ability to dissect those dynamics with intelligence, empathy, and absolutely devastating humor. I’ve genuinely learned things about myself, recognized some of my own less-than-flattering behaviors, and made changes that have improved my relationships. Personal growth from a reality TV recap podcast? The audacity! And to those negative reviewers accusing the hosts of hating men: Holding men accountable isn’t misandry. It’s called having standards. If that distinction offends you, there’s always Joe Rogan. If you love 90 Day Fiancé and appreciate smart cultural commentary, feminist perspectives, and laugh-out-loud comedy, this is your podcast. You’ll come for the mess and might accidentally leave a better person.

I am a longtime listener and am OBSESSED. Have gone to live shows and have merch! But…for the love! Let Mattie speak! Poodle interrupts approx 80% of Mattie’s sentences. Especially on information involving psychology and therapy. Mattie has had an actual professional career and education in this area, which makes his input about the shows so interesting . Poodle’s takes in this area are usually so awful and he interrupts Mattie’s informative and interesting takes to give his own “life coach” ones. Also, Poodle’s sweeping generalizations of autistic people are pretty bad. He speaks with such authority on these topics and is usually incorrect about many aspects. Just had to say this! It’s gotten so much worse so maybe he will see this and tone it down? Love everything else about it otherwise!

I love listening to Reality Gays! They always make my day and have the best takes. I appreciate them holding men accountable as well ;) KEEP GOING QUEENS

I’m fascinated with people and psychology, so I particularly love Mattie & Poodle’s breakdowns. They’re extremely perceptive about these wild cast members. They’re very witty and always give me something to look forward to. KEEP GOING QUEENS!

“Nooooobody doooes it betterrrrr…” (insert operatic voice a la Mattie and Jake.) Okay, it’s Carole Bayer Sager’s words….wink, wink. I know Poodle would appreciate that sort of accuracy. Seriously, Kids, when it comes to pods of this genre (or any genre!) Jake & Mattie are the best! It’s so fun and smart that sometimes I listen to them for shows I don’t even watch!

I am howling at the reviews calling the REALITY GAYS out for being too political and rambling and sexual. Are these the same type of people who comment on bean soup recipes saying that they hate beans? Maybe this just isn’t for you 😂😂😂

I really love your podcast. Ka Kaw (Jenny)

Love listening to the Queens recap these trash tv shows that I love so much..Love the reads they give to these cast members! Gives me such joy! I must be nuts!

Love listening to these Queens dissect the 90 day characters as much as I do!

Keep going, Queens. 👌

Overall, great podcast. Has gotten me through many a road trip. My listening tends to ebb and flow with the 90 day franchise. My suggestion would be to please consider getting an audio editor to remove the mouth noises that the mic keeps picking up, often back to back to back at full volume (from one of the hosts, probably drinking water while recording). As someone with audio editing experience, I can attest that it is absolutely possible to remove or lower the level of noises like that, one by one, in basic editing software. The only reason to not do so would be if there is no audio editing taking place. Thus my suggestion for an editor. :) Thank you and thanks for all you do!

Child Despot cracked me up! Keep going, Queens!

so like i don’t even really watch the shows they talk about but im listening to their slomw series and i have to rewind some parts bc im laughing this hard. somehow they’re able to manage tough topics too which is incredibly impressive. love yall!!

Can Mattie NOT make that snoring sound when he does that particular "laugh"? It sounds like when people are dying and they start snoring/struggling to breathe from their nose. It also sounds like a car with no muffler, I can't deal. When Mattie starts screaming like a banshee, my ear buds go flying out of my ears.

Keep going Queens!!

Keep going queens!!!💋❤️🔥

Love this podcast so much! Mattie and Poodle are hilarious. I don’t even watch 90 Day Fiancé and can’t stop listening.

I love this podcast so much that I even listen to episodes of shows I don’t watch! Thanks for the laughs!

Are we in space?!

love you Mattie for sticking up for our girl

Keep going Queens 🩷

My best laugh of the day I can’t quit laughing with these two they are so fun to listen to and current references only kills me 😆

Overall, great podcast. Has gotten me through many a road trip. Please consider taking out the mouth noises, especially when it happens consecutively, it would make such a difference! We don't need anything fancy. No sound bridge. Just grab that level bar in whatever rudimentary editing program and yank it down then right back up!

Keep going queens 👑
