    Heidi and Spencer (Our First Time Podcasting Together)
    Feb 19 2026
    In today's bonus episode, we travel back in time and behind a paywall to the very first time Troy and Dara podcasted together. This episode was recorded back in 2020 for a patreon episode of Troy's podcast, The Smush Room. They deep dive into the lives of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, including their relationship dynamics on The Hills, Heidi's family dynamics, plastic surgery, and more. For a companion piece, listen to the recent What's Your Issue? patreon episode where Troy and Dara discuss Heidi's infamous People magazine cover to see if they totally contradict themselves 6 years later. To listen to other Smush Room/Dunzo episodes, subscribe to Troy's Patreon (where he has some brand new episodes up, including a 3-part series about Britney Spears' deep cut songs).

    Nancy Kerrigan and Olympic Figure Skating
    Feb 5 2026
    Troy and Dara discuss the January 17th, 1994 Newsweek cover story about Nancy Kerrigan. The story is written just after Nancy was attacked, but before anyone knew Tonya Harding might have anything to do with it. They talk about Nancy as a competitor and star, Troy's childhood prodigy potential, and reminisce about Olympic figure skating in the 1990s.
