I love this pod and I’m sad it abruptly stopped, but I’m super bummed even several old episodes are gone. It seems it’s any that had any mention of Angela Watson, including her episode? That’s a bummer. I wanted to re-listen but hopefully it means she’s in a way better place snd doesn’t want this things there. But then why not leave the episode she did up? Hope she’s ok. Anyway, restart the podcast!

Started with my guy Tom Lenk and then from the beginning. I love this show and Nicholle Tom had me crying laughing

I discovered this podcast a few weeks ago. I really love it! I love the 90’s talk, but I love hearing the family drama content! Alaa, you should announce when you will be in Orlando;) I graduated from Seminole High School in 92 so I love hearing about your time in high school:). Keep up the good work 💜

I grew up watching Step-by-Step. I just recently binge watched it on Hulu and ended up finding Christine and this podcast. I’m obsessed! I have binged so many podcast episodes and fell in love!

Christine is such a great host and has awesome guests on the show!! I love her attitude and outlook and love that she is always having fun but is still relatable. Alaa is very annoying to me sometimes, especially when he says “go ahead” over and over. I’m listening to 2019 episodes with Alanna Ubach (so funny and great guest) and she’s eating and smacking her mouth so loud for hours (two shows) I can’t get over it! I’m hoping in later episodes they stop eating loudly!

I have not listened to this podcast yet but I am still going to give it 1 star because it is apparently the worst podcast ever

Podcast would be better without Christine Co-host. He’s rude and egoistic and full of drama. He’s always talking over her like he’s some big deal when he’s not.

Inconsistent with podcasts, so I never know when to find them. Also they post old news because they were recorded so long ago. Always surprised to hear Alaa works with Alyssa Milano, who is such a strong female. Alaa puts Christine down a lot and talks over her. Kind of makes me sad.

Christine is great but her co host choice makes me question her. He’s rude and selfish and sounds like an awful person all around. The sound of his voice is revolting! It’s really hard to listen to him out everyone down and think he’s always right.

Christine and Alaa always find an interesting guest to have on. Their chemistry is great, and I love the nostalgic stories and current life event stories too. So fun! A good listen if you want a laugh.

I love the blend of nostalgia and current events/Bravo TV. Christine and Allaa are so funny together. The guests are amazing and varied and I love the actors who are no longer acting. Their stories are hilarious and captivating. This is my favorite podcast ever!

I love you guys! They are too funny! I think Nicholle should've called triple AAA for her car stuff instead of 911 hehehe Too funny! She’s awesome! Glad she’s doing well! I always loved the Beethoven Series and the Nanny Series lol her story of meeting her boyfriends sounds really sweet and is very intense xoxo so amazing!! 😘💋

I am missing you guys soooo much!!!

More Alaa family drama and Staci are a must. Thanks for the laughs.

I love this podcast but every other week is not enough! More Staci, too, please!

Found this by listening to Alaa on Two Cups of Joe! You guys are so funny! The banter between you two is great! I’m also loving all the guests you have on.

Why why why? No

Yes

This is absolutely one of my favorite podcasts! The banter Alaa and Christine have is hilarious! They both ask interesting questions to their guests and there's always an interesting flow to the conversation. Plus many of their guests are '90's teen stars, so it doesn't get better than that!

This is my first ever podcast experience, and I loved listening! Christine is fantastic and her and Alaa are great together. I love the truth they speak and the bickering at times. Great guests, topics and such. I just wish they were put out more often. Patiently waiting for a new episode.

My favorite podcast to listen to. Christine and Alaa are hilarious and so much fun. The only problem is I wish they would come out with episodes more often!

Alaa is ok but I often find myself wishing he would be quieter. Christine is wonderful. I like the episodes with Staci Keanan the most. A regular podcast with Staci and Christina would be perfect. I wish new episodes came out more often.

Love listening on the way to work. Great stories and entertaining guests!

They are both so entertaining - love listening and hearing all of their stories. Guests are also always great. Hope this podcast continues forever!!

I look forward to your podcast every week! Thanks for making my mundane stay-at-home mom chores so much more enjoyable!

I adore this podcast and went to the live show and had a great time. Christine is wonderful as the host and Alaa is a great sidekick (I kid I kid). But it’s a really fun and funny look at the entertainment industry and all the ways to make a living in it. I love it!

I love this podcast! It’s like reliving my early teen years with all the 90’s talk and guest stars. Also I LOVE Hollywood Darlings!

I hardly doubt he has made amends. He went off on the n-word. That’s not “art”. That’s racism. Is he actively fighting systemic racism? Has he marched with black lives matter? I highly doubt it. Don’t let him get a pass with his white privilege. Black lives and experiences matter more than a sitcom.

Started listening after Alaa did the episode on Strangers and I have become obsessed. It’s a great show, makes you laugh and the people they have on are great. Definitely one of my favorite podcasts.

Love it. Christine is hilarious. I literally find myself cracking up laughing out loud. If you want 90s nostalgia this is a great podcast with stories that take you back.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. I lived for TGIF in the 90s, so hearing Christine spill all about Step by Step and her experience as a child actor has been so entertaining. I really enjoy her banter with Alaa too. He does come across as abrasive at times, but I think it makes for a good interview because he pushes their guests to open up about stuff they might otherwise gloss over. Keep doing what you’re doing, guys.

Everyone leave Alaa alone! His ying yang with Christine makes the podcast. You can tell they have an awesome relationship and it’s very much like siblings.. Alaa makes me laugh out loud!

I found this podcast after watching Hollywood Darlings. Christine's wit and humor is amazing and I look forward to every Friday when a new episode is released! However, I wish Alaa would be less rude.

It's fun to listen to. Just please please start pronouncing the word "literally" in a normal way. Just "liter-ally" like it's spelled. Not LIT-TRA-LEE. Please? Too many LA people pronounce it that way and it's a bad trend.

I started with the Nicholle Tom episode and was really enjoying myself until Alaa repeatedly asked Nicholle about the size of Andy Dicks (to keep this G rated) "equipment". She was already telling you a story that made her uncomfortable why make her feel MORE uncomfortable? And you can absolutely hear it in Nicholle's voice. This podcast would be better with a different male host (or you could make it 2 female hosts, which ever).

Keep bringing former MMC cast on as guests. Really fun podcast!

I really enjoy this podcast. I enjoy having an insight into celebrities lives. Christine is a great host, transitions from subject to subject so easily, asks great questions, and has great stories. Alaa on the otherhand can be very rude at times, he seems to have a problem with Christine and i think it stems from his own insecurity issues. He constantly puts Christine down and interupts her, and says the stories she wans to tell are boring and doesn't let her finish. This kind of hostility makes for an uncomfortable guest and makes listeners cringe. I think this podcast would be much better without Alaa. Love you Christine!

It's like you are listening to your best friends chat. Love the banter between Alaa and Christine. All the guests have been great. Totally agree with the other reviewer...the barking dog and baby noises are super distracting!

I am obsessed with this podcast. Their chemistry is hilarious and they just mesh. It's literally like having a drunk adult sleepover. The Nicholle Tom episode is probably the funniest thing I've ever heard ever. I was listening while cleaning my kitchen at like 1am trying to stifle my laughter not to wake my husband and 2 year old.

I look forward to just relaxing and listening to new episodes. Love it, fun.

I love the podcast but the male interviewer is annoying and inserts himself into every story. When he is quieter and lets the person who they are interviewing speak it is great.

I look forward to this cast every Friday. I'm always excited to hear behind the scene secrets, stories of working in Hollywood, and just the general banter. Even when I didn't know the guest, I still laughed a million times. They don't waste time on talking about their current lives in the beginning and stay on subject through out the show. The chemistry is good, and the stories full--you feel like you're right there on the couch with them. I genuinely love every second of it.

I've never wrote a review for a podcast before but felt compelled here. I'm loving the content Christine and Alaa are putting together. I love hearing from the guests and their stories. They just feel so attainable, more like a real person vs. celebrity, and like I'm out for drinks with friends. It really makes me like them all that much more. I don't mind the baby noises in the background - it feels authentic to the conversation and season of their lives. The hosts are great interviewers, and I love the storytelling. Keep this up!

The first episode made me laugh so hard that I had tears streaming. Alaa and Christine have great chemistry, are smart, funny, etc. However the baby/toddler/dog? noises in the last several episodes is so incredibly annoying that I may not be able to listen to this show again. Is it really not possible to get a sitter for a few hours while recording the podcast? Just a tremendously weird decision to make a podcast and not consider this a complete distraction from what may be otherwise a really great show.

I just LOVE Christine Lakin. Honestly I had no idea who she was when Hollywood Darlings started airing. I actually thought she was the main girl on Step By Step (Staci). But then I googled and realized oh she was the younger tomboy on the show. So anyway Christine is my favorite on Hollywood Darlings and I started following her on instagram and then discovered her podcast. She is really funny! I hope we see more of her in the future on tv!!!! (And more podcasts) I also like her cohost on the podcast too and all the funny (except the Andrew episode was not a big fan if that one) and interesting stories.

love you Christine and I love this podcast !! The conversational format podcast is the best kind! A pleasant voice to listen to! Let's keep this podcast going! And glad you guys don't bleep anything out! Let's keep it real! ❤️

This series of podcasts is a really bright new twist on humor. Everyone has had those bad moments, but when retold they sound so funny. Christine and Alaa are great interviewers, bringing out the the best in the interviewees. Must listen. Very entertaining.
