This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the exciting news that Betches is now an official media partner of the NFL! Speaking of football, is Aaron Rodgers cursed, or is it just the Jets? Either way they may want to contact the TikTok witch that predicted Jared’s future wife (IYKYK). Onto celeb news, Taylor Swift turned 35 last Friday, and Travis reportedly spent $175K on gifts - but still no ring, to Jordana’s dismay. Over in the Bravo-verse, James Kennedy says he’s focusing on “sobriety and personal growth” after his recent domestic violence-related arrest, and we hope everyone involved gets the help they need. Next, they turn their attention to The Cut’s new essay from Ethan Slater’s wife, Lilly Jay, in her first public statement since the messy love triangle (square?) with Ariana Grande… and TBH it’s not really giving what we were hoping it would give. Then, they catch up on some recent TV favorites and recommendations for what to binge over the holidays. Finally, Betch of the Week has to go to bday girl Taylor, and Hawk Tuah is getting sent to the Caymans for the fiasco of her $HAWK memecoin.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump straight into their favorite story of the week: Selena Gomez’s engagement to Benny Blanco - and her perfectly curated IG post (she knows what the people want to see). Will Justin and Hailey score an invite? Is Taylor secretly pissed that Benny popped the question before Travis? They get into all the theories and curate their top 5 celeb bridesmaids. Next, congrats are in order for Reesa Tessa, who rightfully took the crown for Betch of the Year, and Jack Schlossberg, who was named Babygirl of the Year (he really is one of us). Lindsay Lohan is back with a new Netflix movie, but more importantly, are the facelift rumors true? Maybe Michael Lohan put it best when he said her look is “so natural, just like her talent.” Moving on to less celebratory news, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have split just weeks after announcing their pregnancy, but Jordana has her own theory about where their journey is heading. Speaking of famous exes, is there a dollar amount high enough to convince Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to work together again? One film producer seems to think so, but it sounds a little too much like the plot of America’s Sweethearts to be believed. Finally, they close out with Hilary Duff’s daughter’s very sweet reaction to Sabrina Carpenter’s Lizzie McGuire costume. With two Golden Globe noms *and* an engagement, our Betch of the Week is obviously Selena - we’d give anything to go to that wedding. And Machine Gun Kelly is getting put on the first flight out to the Caymans for whatever incriminating “material” Megan Fox found on his phone.

Then, Sami and Jordana share all their thoughts on Wicked, including an analysis of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's on screen chemistry (or lack thereof). Speaking of celeb relationships, are Taylor and Travis getting engaged any time soon? And if the Chiefs don't clinch another Super Bowl win, is the relationship doomed? Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia fled the states for the English countryside, but we're not sure we're buying that it was all to get away from US politics. And finally, Sami and Jordana get into Netflix's new JonBenet Ramsey docuseries and compare their theories.

Happy Thanksgiving, Betch. This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their plans for the holiday and compare notes on festive dishes. Are Brussels sprouts a millennial vegetable, and is that why they’re not as trendy as they used to be? Sami and Aleen explain to Jordana why everyone this past weekend was “holding space” for the lyrics of Defining Gravity, and why the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo press tour has been the inspiration for countless memes. This episode was recorded on Monday, so come back next week for their thoughts on the film. In the meantime, Aleen finally rewatched the original Gladiator, and it did make her cry. Our Betch of the Week is Tracy Gilchrist, the Out reporter who gave us the incredible gift of that Wicked interview, and we’re sending the pilgrims to the Caymans for a multitude of past sins.

This week, Sami and Aleen have theories for just about everything: JonBenét Ramsey's killer, the link between last year's Roman Empire meme and this year's Gladiator II film, what the Tesla robot means for our futures, the secret inscription inside the friendship ring Leonardo DiCaprio gave Kate Winslet (and why they kissed this week), and Anne Hathaway and her husband possibly being the reincarnation of William Shakespeare and his wife (seriously, do an image search and tell them they're wrong). In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share their Friendsgiving plans. Then, they share their thoughts on My Old Ass, and contemplate what would happen if they could go back in time and meet their younger selves... and whether their past self would even listen. Finally, they celebrate the premiere of RHOBH season 14, and Dorit leaning into her villain era. Our Betch of the Week is Dorit, and we're sending the Tesla robot to the Caymans. If it's so smart, let it figure out how to sell those time shares.

This week, Sami shares some dog updates with Aleen and Jordana, before they get into the stories of the week. First up is People's Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski, and the DeuxMoi blind item that has people second guessing his crowning. Did Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal actually turn it down, or is that just what their publicists want us to think? Wicked is almost in theaters, and Sami heard a rumor it's the best movie musical since Chicago... Meanwhile, Mattel had to apologize after accidentally linking to a porn site on its Wicked doll packaging. Next up, fellow podcaster Armie Hammer had his mother on the show, who shared that she got him a vasectomy for his birthday last year to make sure there wouldn't be any more little Hammers running around. Usually our moms just take us to dinner, but to each their own. Then, they send congrats to Megan Fox on her pregnancy and speculate on Khloé's mysterious new business venture. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. Aleen gives her review of the first half of Emilia Perez, which unexpectedly evoked shades of Cocomelon. We're sending the Mattel packaging and marketing team to the Caymans, and our Betch Of The Week is Emily Blunt, for being married to the Sexiest Man Alive.

This week, Aleen, Sami, and Jordana are here to distract you - and themselves - from the news cycle with a deep dive into the new Martha Stewart documentary that hit Netflix last week. They compare notes on all their favorite moments, peruse her incredible Instagram account (if you’re not following @marthastewart48, you have no idea what you’re missing), and talk about her recent NYT interview where she shared her less-than-favorable thoughts on how it turned out. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. To close out the episode, Jordana gives her review of M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film, Trap. Our Betch of the Week is, of course, Martha Stewart. But we’re also sending her to the Caymans, because, like all true icons, she’s flawed.

This week, Aleen and Jordana celebrate Halloween in the studio in matching Carmela and Tony Soprano costumes (check @aleen and @jordanaabraham on IG for the full fits). They kick things off with the spookiest story of the week: Armie Hammer's newly announced podcast, aptly named "The Armie HammerTime Podcast." Next, Timothée Chalamet showed up at his own lookalike contest in NY this week, and Aleen and Jordana get caught up on some of the the ClubChalamet lore. Moving on to celeb relationship news: Despite recent public appearances together looking loved up, Zoë Kravtiz and Channing Tatum have reportedly split - and Jenna Dewan’s fiancé seems to find that hilarious, for reasons unknown. Gisele Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor/boyfriend are expecting their first child together, and Tom Brady might be feeling kind of emo about it, if his IG stories are any indication. Nick Cannon opened up about feeling insecure during his marriage to “Alpha” Mariah Carey, which leads to a conversation about relationship dynamics within successful couples. Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on A Friend Of The Family, streaming on Peacock (true crime counts for Halloween, right?). Then, a game of Ick or Treat with five pop culture moments from the week, from Ariana Grande’s bf on the cover of GQ to Kim’s birthday post for Caitlyn. Finally, a tribute to queen of Halloween, Heidi Klum, who we’d love to share a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

Onto the pop culture headlines, Kylie is on the November cover of Elle, but Jordana’s more concerned with Wicked’s marketing team’s decision to host a special screening for the Kardashian-Jenner kids. In other news, what’s going on with Justin Bieber’s finances? We’ll be keeping an eye out for a potential future lawsuit. Then, much as it pains Jordana and Sami to discuss this without Aleen, J Lo’s ex-husband Ojani Noa went on TV this week and blamed Diddy for their divorce. Honestly, we just want a deep dive documentary on what really happened during the two years J Lo and Diddy dated. And at long last, Jordana and Sami share their long-awaited thoughts on It Ends With Us. Finally, they decide which celeb of the week they are sharing a cider with, sponsored by Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

This week, Sami and Jordana cover the latest headlines while Aleen takes care of business. First up, Sami shares her rave challah reviews, it was so delicious that Jordana might be inspired to write up a business plan!

This leads Jordana and Sami to explore a potential engagement timeline for Taylor and Travis.

Next, Jordana’s been watching a few things that hit Netflix this week, and she has *thoughts*.

Then, they recap of some of the updates in the Diddy case - keep an eye out for a deeper dive coming soon. Speaking of true crime, the new season of Monster hit Netflix this week, with The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, and Jordana gets into whether or not it nailed the tone… Ryan Murphy might need to take a step back from that genre as a whole.

Taylor swept for Fortnight, but we’re not buying it as the legitimate Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis are doing everything in their power to make us forget about that publicity breakup conspiracy document, and honestly… it’s kind of working.

Up at TIFF, JLo and Matt Damon were spotted having an intense conversation while holding hands at the after party for Unstoppable, which stars JLo and is produced by Matt and Ben’s production company.
