So it’s out! The much anticipated stand-up special, from the G.O.A.T. Dave Chappelle. This past week, Netflix released The Closer, his 6th and likely final Netflix special. And with the that, the un-rest has begun! This one was packed up with quotable moments and genius punch lines. And of course, he doesn’t hold back. Since his first stand-up with Netflix, the man has had a lot of heat from the LGBTQ+ community about his material. Misinterpretations on headlines about his jokes have really made a storm on Twitter (which he doesn’t believe is a real place, haha). So you know, Nicky Trendz & Manny Oso are here to bring you their side! The truth is, it’s impossible to listen to his stand-up without having an opinion. But remember, there’s no room for hate in the our bathtub! Plenty of room for discussion! But you tell us! What were you thoughts on The Closer? Do you think he crossed the line? Do you believe his art is harmful or helpful? Don’t forget to watch The Closer and the rest of Dave Chappelle’s Stand-Up Specials while you still can: https://www.netflix.com/us/title/81228510?s=i&trkid=13747225&vlang=en&clip=81345814 Read the Interview with Jaclyn Moore from Variety: https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/dear-white-people-jaclyn-moore-dave-chappelle-netflix-1235083197/amp/?__twitter_impression=true And don’t forget to check out 15 Minutes of Shame on HBO Max to see how Cancel Culture affects people.

Hey Duckies. Welcome back! This past week, Nicki Minaj got in some hot water with her Tweets. In a post she put up after responding to why she wasn’t at the Met Gala, Minaj made a claim about the COVID-19 Vaccine and the side effects. Naturally, people took that and ran with it! We had late-night talking heads like Tucker Carlson using it as fuel for his Far Right-Wing claims. There were Health Officials for Trinidad and Tobago hunting down this man Minaj mentioned, who allegedly had “swollen testicles” after his vaccination. The Prime Minister of England was even questioned on this matter! Talk about unintentional side effects. There have been people coming down on Minaj about accountability and the use of her platform. But on Bubble Bath Stories, we wonder why these official figure heads are even using her as a source. After reading through the Twitter threads, the whole tweet may not even be getting read in context in the news world. (Big surprise there!). The world has decided to use this to fan each of their respective flames. And the Rubber Ducky Gang has decided to throw their Two Cents in! But you let us know! Who is to blame when theses posts go out of control? Should we cut Nicki Minaj some slack? Should Tucker Carlson get a new job?

Welcome back folks! Welcome back to the Listeners! Welcome back to your hosts! Time for some new conversations! Nicky caught herself scrolling through Reddit again. This time she found herself reading about Age Gap Relationships. This is a subject that hits close for these two. Both have been heavy in AGR’s, but this isn’t a contest. Today, you get to hear about those experiences. Manny gets a little revealing, but hey what good is a platform if your not going to disturb someone. And he’s had his fair share of AGR’s. Nicky speaks about her failed attempts at an on-again-off-again one that left her with a lesson well learned. But tell us what you think? Are Age Gap Relationships doomed to fail? How fun can one be?

Hello Gang! So a new documentary came out this month in HBO called The Last Cruise. Manny Oso & Nicky Trendz gave it a watch and are here to give you the deets! This documentary follows the months-long ordeal of the Diamond Princess cruise ship and the COVID-19 Outbreak that it hosted.

Manny got an anxiety scare thinking of the quarantine the crew members had to experience. They show you just how small the living quarters are.

Princess Cruise from Hell

On the last day of Woman’s history month, we are so happy to be ending it with an interview that shows just how strong women are. This week we had the opportunity to speak with Shael Norris- Founding Executive Director of SafeBAE.org. This organization was first founded by 4 extraordinary women who are also Teen Sexual assault survivors! Even with the early and tragic loss of a co-founder, Daisy Coleman, the remaining founders continued to spread the education and importance of consent education. Not only keeping Coleman’s memory alive, but making sure what they experience doesn’t happen again. Shael Norris joined the organization to make a difference and credits these young women to helping her become an activist in her own right. Nicky goes on to explain how she came across the SafeBAE. While scrolling on Facebook, Nicky saw an article post by insider Business about “Consent Panties”! Shael told us another co-founder of SafeBae Ella O’Neal, created and designed these underwear with fun cutesy cartoons that bare a serious topic: Consent. These underwear where created to raise money for organization and become something more than that. Norris goes on to describe that consent doesn’t have to be this mood buster. Consent can be sexy, and the cartoons bring a little humor to it. As the conversation continued Shael expressed to us the consent conversation doesn’t have to be weird between adults and their kids. “One of the things I say [to my kids] is, we have to live in there world we’re currently in, while building the world we want”. If you are interested or want to learn more about the organization go to: SafeBAE.org IG: @Safe_Bae FB: SafeBAE We also encourage you all to check out the powerful documentary: Audrie & Daisy - Netflix To keep you with the Ducks in charge follow: Bubblebathstories.co FB & IG: @Bubblebathstories Nicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZ Manny Oso IG: @gotnotime4diss

Nicky Trendz joined him in watching this is show and both of their minds are blown! ?** SPOILER ALERT ** ? for this epsiode! It was so so good we had to talk to you guys about it!

It was full of just enough information for you to follow, but not too much where you know what’s about to happen! Manny couldn’t even predict what was about to happen next! These two also get into the pop culture homages. It was nostalgic to watch all these TV scenes and try to connect what well known sitcoms they were referencing. All favorites of theirs’, whether it’s Modern Family, Malcom In The Middle, Lucy, etc...

Hello Gang! This week Manny Oso and Nicky Trendz took to Hulu for a trending documentary. The internet has been buzzing about Framing Britney Spears and her subject of Conservatorship. The Gang watched it & had very mixed feelings. Nicky comes in hard, being a life long fan of Britney. She doesn’t feel that this doc properly displays the incidents that brought her to such a public downfall. And doesn’t feel the paparazzi are being held accountable enough. But Nicky doesn’t just talk about the downs, she celebrates her rises and mentions all the recent accomplishments she’s watched from Brittany. Manny Oso doesn’t feel this doc gave enough new info! They don’t mention enough about K. Fed and how he got her to marry him! Manny also can’t help but remember The Simpsons Season 3/Episode1 when Homer was labeled Insane and unable to remove that label. Also how eerily accurate South Park was in portraying the Paparazzi hunting down Britney for the perfect picture.  You guys should check those out AFTER watching this documentary. There was a lot to unload on this but the big question is....  what do you think? Give us a listen and let us know!  Check out the episode of The New York Times Presents Framing Britney Spears on Hulu! https://hulu.tv/3buf97J The Simpsons - S3 EP1 - "Stark Raving Dad" DISNEY+ South Park - S12 EP2 - "Britney's New Look" HBOMAX To keep you with the Ducks in charge follow:  Bubblebathstories.co  FB & IG: @Bubblebathstories  Nicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZ  Manny Oso IG: @gotnotime4diss
