Betches’ Big Announcement, We’re Over Justin Timberlake, And Our Fiery Fair Play Debrief

Sami got a dog! Well, she exchanged dogs with her mom. Long story, you gotta listen. It’s been a slow week for celebrities, so we’re kickin’ it old school and talking about the most brow raising articles from The Cut and The NY Times, which include a scary scammer piece and VPR’s Assistant’s exposé…Ann has a bright future ahead of her. Jordana thinks she can scam Sami…now that would be a fun game to play. They wrap with Aleen’s hot takes on JLO’s awful movie. No srsly, we still have PTSD, it’s that bad. Our Betch of the Week is Beyoncé because she’s making history yet again! We’re sending Aleen to the Cayman’s, because she’s literally going next week! We’re trying to convince her to sell a timeshare while she’s there…No promises. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The company is officially a grown woman… happy Betch Mitzvah to you all on our 13th birthday. Sami, Aleen, and Jordana share some of their fave memories from the early days and tell an embarrassing Facebook story. They debrief a busy Super Bowl Sunday and there’s a lot to unpack: Travis let his bro-flag fly, Ben & JLo stole the show with their Dunkin commercial, and Taylor looked great every time she was on screen. They also tell us what they thought of Usher’s halftime performance (hint: the caressing of Alicia Keys got a little too personal). The Met Gala officially has a theme and it’s a good one. Ariana Grande is teaming up with Mariah Carey and people couldn’t be happier – if only we could get her song out of our head. Finally, Nicola Peltz Bekham and Meghan Markle made headlines this week. Travis will go to the Caymans this week, because he needs to work on his public speaking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s been a long time comin’, but Sami and Holly are back for another episode of Speak Now (Betches Version). There’s A LOT going on at the moment, because Tay just made history at the Grammys, exhibited some very unhinged behavior, AND she simultaneously dropped a major announcement: a brand new album that’s been “2 years in the making”. Yes, we have some reason to believe that the title is a dig at you-joe-who. Fresh off the Grammys (fresh out the slammer), the Eras tour has resumed in Tokyo, and the Super Bowl just days away. Will Trav make a grand gesture if the Chiefs win? Listen and found out, Dear Listener. Speak now or forever hold your peace in the comments if you liked this and want more.

All three betches are back recording together this week and begin by discussing Drake’s NSFW video… IYKYK. Did he release this video himself or was it really leaked? They debrief a packed Grammys show that featured a few awkward Taylor Swift moments on stage, and an amazing performance of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman – Jordana’s her new biggest fan… even though she only likes the one song. Also Jay-Z made things uncomfortable for everyone and we have thoughts. The Super Bowl is happening this Sunday, so Aleen tells us why she thinks the game was predetermined – Sami’s not so sure, but Jordana only cares about her betting pool anyway. There’s more to say about Taylor’s big announcement, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow’s episode of Speak Now Betches Version. In the meantime, Tracy gets her moment to shine as our Betch of the Week, and Phoebe Bridgers gets the honor of sending some guy named Neil to the Caymans. Good luck selling those timeshares while you “rot in piss” (Phoebe’s words, not ours). Check out our latest promo codes here: https://betches.com/promos Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s February - the worst month ever! But that also means that Betches’s birthday is in 2 weeks...and it's our Betch Mitzvah! Won't you please come up and light candle number 13? Sami is preparing a montage, and maybe we’ll include Levels by Avicii in it, if we can get the music rights (shout out to the TikTok vs. UMG feud). While Sami is sound mixing, Jordana is busy selling her wares on Facebook Marketplace (her Betch of the Week and part of our new sustainability initiative). Then they move onto this week's headlines: Justin Timberlake is in his flop era, Sami and Jordana re-forecast their Taylor & Travis relationship timeline to account for the Chiefs making it to Super Bowl. We’re so proud, but also just about ready for them to put their public honeymooning on pause. There's also Sophie Turner and her semi-hard launch with British aristocrat boyfriend Peregrine Pearson, and Tom Sandoval is on the press circuit. This week, Justin Timberlake will be sent to the Caymans. He needs to experience some rejection. Check out our latest promo codes here: https://betches.com/promos Learn more about your ad choices.

Sami and Aleen are back in the Betches HQ studio and they’ve got a bone to pick with the Oscar noms that were just released. Everyone is buzzing about Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie snubs, and we’re all ready to move past darkly-lit “complex man does terrible thing” movies. Onto things we love – Selena Gomez opened up about body image in a series of IG posts with an inspiring update on a throwback bikini moment. Aleen also shares a positive paparazzi (pos-arazzi?) red carpet encounter between some of our favorite celebs. They introduce a new segment called “some things people are talking about that we don’t really care about but we’ll mention anyway” – and the list goes on: Jason Kelce’s bare chest, Kardashian sponsorships, Jacob Elordi’s relationship status, and Tristan Thompson’s doping scandal. They wrap with some TV recs, Timothée’s resurfaced rap footage, a classic Anne Hathaway moment, and the Betch of the Week.

Jordana, Sami, and Aleen begin today with a heated discussion that brings them back to their sorority rush days *shudders* Shoutout to AEPHI! Sami begins the pop culture topics by introducing a new segment: Betch of the Week. We chose 2 because they’re just too good. Then onto an Emmys red carpet roast recapping all their fave and worst looks – it’s giving Jovani. Switching gears to the music industry, Ariana Grande returned to music and dropped a new song for the first time in 3 years… Is it a bop or a flop? We’re divided. In other news across the pond, Kate Middleton was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal surgery. Spoiler alert, she’s doing fine. They wrap up with a preview of today’s live RHOSLC table read, and Mauricio will be sent to the Caymans this week because god knows how many times he’s cheated.

Aleen, Sami, and Jordana kick off today’s episode debriefing their first outing of 2024 – their Taylor Swift cover band concert. Then they dive in with a recap of the 2024 Golden Globes, including Jo Koy’s lack of originality. Of course we have to talk about the gossip sesh seen round the world: Selena, Taylor, and Keleigh Teller’s caught on camera convo. Honestly, we’d do the exact same thing. Listen to find out who we’re *pretty sure* they’re talking about. Has a new couple emerged from the Golden Globes… aka Meryl Streep and Martin Short? Post-Golden Globes the trio wrap up with the latest on the White Lotus season 3 announcements and who was just cast. No Caymans this week, we’ll give you your couple minutes back.
