Speidi's Big Comeback, The Traitors Season 3, And... Musical Guest Lil Timmy Tim?

Jordana and Aleen are holding down the fort this week while Sami skis in Gstaad (say that 10x fast). In more jetset news, Jordana’s leaving for her honeymoon tomorrow (to Sri Lanka & the Maldives—a dream) and Aleen’s taking baby Mila to Naples for the first time (the Florida one, to be clear). But first, a quick trip to pop culturedom. On today’s itinerary: Euphoria’s BTS drama rivals that of on-screen, Amy Schumer accidentally reveals Michael Cera has a baby (oopsies), and RHONJ has a *fab* cast dynamic. They then cover some other celeb news—including Amanda Bynes ending her 9 yr conservatorship (go girl) and the latest Kardashian tea surrounding their new show (talk about a trip)—before discussing TV’s hottest show rn, The Dropout. They wrap up the ep with a quick round of f*ck, marry, shoot—scammer edition, with Anna Delvey, Elizabeth Holmes, and the Tinder Swindler. The answers may surprise you.

Jordana’s out on a ~secret mission~ today (stay tuned for the big reveal next month), but Sami & Aleen are here and ready to clown around. They were all at their friend’s wedding this past weekend, and Aleen did some bragging about a certain Marvel (& Gossip Girl) actor who’s coming on the Betches’ U Up? podcast next week. Tune in for the tea. On the subject of acting, Sami & Aleen dive into all things Euphoria. While they have some mixed opinions about the szn finale (that serenade tho), there's no denying Rue, Cassie, et al. killed the acting game. Then onto a show that’s less strong in that department (but the crazy AF story carries you through): Inventing Anna. Aleen formally retracts all previous statements about hating it, as she did indeed end up watching the whole thing. Sami then reveals a different kind of con, well, it’s more like a religious cult for TikTok dancers (you’re gonna want to hear more about this one). They wrap up the ep with a RHOSLC debrief, including how they’d recast the show (Mary should be on RHOM due to her wackiness, ofc). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last week Jordana and Aleen got drinks (& got blackout), and the week before Jordana and Sami did the same. Enter a *brilliant* new concept: socializing (& drinking) with friends should be considered a hobby. They come to you, dear audience, for name ideas for this revolutionary hobby (send us your recs). And as friends do, the trio gets sidetracked with an impromptu HBO show rating—Sopranos is obvi at the top, but there’s some debate about 2nd & 3rd place. Then onto another star at the top—Ms. Britney Spears & her $15 million book deal (that’s bigger than J.K. Rowling’s btw). Speaking of wizardry, they chat about My Unorthodox Life’s Julia Haart, who has a life so wild it might as well be magic. They discuss her unfortunate downfall before diving into other chaotic TV topics: Summer House’s Amanda and Kyle have hit an all time *cringey* high (that stye tho); the play in Euphoria’s latest ep was v unrealistic; & J Lo and Owen Wilson have no sexual chemistry in Marry Me (but hey, at least we finally got a romcom).

This week, Aleen, Jordana & Sami are in the hot seat (no literally, they’re in person at the studio and it’s warm AF in there). They start off with some *high*ly interesting updates—yes, we’re talking about edibles. For one of our hosts, edibles are like skiing—she forgets that she doesn’t like it so she keeps trying, but it’s always a miss. The brilliant solution? Have a drink instead! Speaking of…um…weed, Snoop Dogg & all of the other nostalgic stars killed that half time show (Aleen was jumping on the couch clapping her hands). Sami wonders, though, if the SuperBowl would consider changing it up and throw in a live @ Betches podcast recording, perhaps? Then onto Kanye’s chaotic—but also really very sad—antics. Pete Davidson dated Hillary Clinton? And that photoshopped Marvel Civil War poster? A lot to unpack here. Onto other chaotic antics: Inventing Anna. While Sami and Aleen couldn’t get through the first episode, Jordana soldiered on—Anna Delvey’s true story is too wild to miss (that Marrakech trip tho). Sami delves into the ins and outs of another wild (and horrific) true story: the Alec Baldwin wrongful death lawsuit. They wrap up the episode chatting about The Gilded Age (including the new, more pathetic version of Miranda Hobbs) and end on a quick recap of Euphoria (Gia, you icon!). Don’t forget to leave that 5 star review and tell Aleen, Jordana, & Sami what to watch next. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Howdy y’all! Sami and Jordana are dashing off to Nashville right after this episode, and yes, Aleen is ofc jealous. Sami wishes she could pack her chess board (oh so relatable), but luckily Jordana’s bringing a deck of Monopoly Deal—watch out, Nashville! But before they jet off, Sami and Jordana discuss, well, a literal jet. Yup, they’re talking about Netflix’s Tinder Swindler and all of its absurdities. The private jets, the loans, and the obsessive love bombing. If you’re like Aleen and haven’t watched the exposé yet, then pls fast forward to 24:00—no spoilers! Then on to wealth that we know is real (cause that’s literally all they post about): the Kardashians. Aleen, Sami, and Jordana dive into the Kim & Kanye (& their kids) saga—which is honestly pretty sad—and then chat about Kylie’s new nameless bébé—born on 2/2/22—and speculate child names. The show wraps up with some much needed debriefs. First up is Euphoria’s latest ep—all in agreement that Zendaya killed that performance—and Sami shares a *mind blowing* theory (yes, said theory was found on Reddit). Lastly, the And Just Like That finale with lots of thoughts that we absolutely ~couldn’t help but wonder~. Tune in for the much needed deep dive. Learn more about your ad choices.

And just like that, Sami sadly has Covid. Luckily she’s feeling ok and spills the tea on her bougie (but also very handy) new rapid test machine. Or, as Jordana calls it, the Soho House of rapid tests. Trust us, you’re gonna want to listen in to learn more (only downside—no, it’s not bedazzled, but yes, Jordana and Aleen asked). Moving along, pop culture princess Rihanna announced her pregnancy this week and they reminisce about her greatest hits. Pon de Replay, Umbrella…oh, the good ole days. They also pose the q we’ve all been thinking: who in their right mind would wear that outfit during an NYC winter?! Then on to the trio’s true passion: Wordle. Obvi the New York Times listened to last week’s ep and realized they should buy the game—pls don’t blame us. Back to pop culture, they dive into the absurdity of RHONJ cast member Jennifer Aydin’s nose job from Turkey, the absolute chaos that is RHOSLC, and the standout performances from Euphoria’s latest ep (spoiler: more penises). Also, who tf is the mystery child in the family photo anyways? After tuning in, we ask that you comment your fav TV show recs while leaving a *5 star* review (or else they’ll just keep talking about Wordle). Learn more about your ad choices.

And the Wordle of the day is…Yup, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are just as obsessed with the online word guessing game as you are. In fact, playing Wordle was Jordana’s highlight of the week, according to Aleen time simply ceases to exist when playing the game, and Sami claims that it’s unifying America right now. It’s just that good. Sami even spills the detes on her mom’s sneaky guessing trick (no spoilers, listen and find out). On to less unifying topics, they dive into Kyle and Amanda’s Summer House drama. Is the relationship’s biggest problem Kyle’s drinking, or that they run a business together? Speaking of Kyles, Sami shares some more Bravo tea. On a Watch What Happens Live, Kathy Hilton just does not know the names of her sister Kyle Richards’ children. No, like it’s literally so rude. Since we’re already thinking of word games, what rhymes with rude? Nude. Jordana sparks the much needed debate on wtf is with all of the nudity and penises on HBO Max? They ofc talk about the episode’s other shortcomings (pun intended): Che and Miranda’s love seems v fake and yes, it’s weird that Lily slept in Carrie’s bed. Then Sean joins to wrap up the show with a game (not Wordle) all about which celeb couples have the biggest age gap. The answers may surprise you. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meribel, Courchevel, après ski, oh my! Sami starts off this week’s episode by telling Jordana and Aleen all about her luxurious European ski adventures—yes, matching Fila tracksuits were of course involved. We love a good matching moment, which also inspired Sami’s upcoming nap dress themed birthday party—save the date for April, everyone. Then they attempt to dissect all the Kim and Kanye drama, as Kim apparently didn’t invite Kanye to their daughter Chicago’s fourth birthday party, so Kanye pouted on IG Live and then crashed the party. Honestly Kanye, leave the tantrums to the children. And Jordana asks the million dollar question—does Kanye have a therapist? Next, they all discuss the unfortunate nuances of RHOSLC and Jennie Nguyen’s offensive Facebook that was recently uncovered. Trust us, you’re gonna want to hear about this one, and Sami spills all the Jennie Nguyen Reddit tea. Then onto the Summer House drama between Kyle and Amanda (seriously, what was with that contract?), the weekly And Just Like That debrief (shocker, Carrie gets even more selfish), and Aleen and Jordana cover the Yellowjackets season finale. They get into all the questions we’ve been pondering—Where did Misty get those Shrooms? And why didn’t Jackie just go inside? To wrap up the show Jordana, Aleen, and Sami want to hear from you. That’s right, leave us a *glowing* 5 star review if you will, and share all the shows you’ve been loving and what they should chat about next. Learn more about your ad choices.
