#26 Elephant In The Room: Tom Schwartz’s Brothers

Aleen’s up first to debrief the holiday weekend, re: she didn’t actually do much. Jordana, however, did a plethora of classic July 4th activities—a baseball game, ice cream, and…Benihana? Sami then breaks down her holiday excursion, which included a large fight in a tiny cabin in the woods. The argument started off with cutting tomatoes, but as we know, it’s never just about the tomatoes. Then onto pop culture, which like Aleen’s weekend, was pretty slow. Rihanna is now the youngest self-made billionaire, and they debunk the self-made scale. How TF is Kylie Jenner so high on the list? Then onto Cameron Diaz’s un-retirement (didn’t even know she retired TBH), Lindsay Lohan’s comeback and recent marriage, and a discussion of the very Derelicte-esque Balenciaga show. And don’t forget, U Up? Live is still on tour. They’re headed to Austin, Chicago, and New York—get your tix at betches.co/uuplive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Have you watched anything good lately? Well Jordana, Aleen, and Sami have, and fill you in on all their latest TV and movie finds. And yes, Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is discussed. Then onto everything, everywhere celeb drama. First up is Chris Pratt’s latest Men’s Health interview, and they unpack all the tea—re: Hillsong church accusations, comments about his son, and his place among the many Hollywood Chrises. Then, they couldn’t not debrief North West’s extravagant camp bday party, but are surprised by the lack of Kim K’s posts about it. Did Kim go to Staten Island once and finally become grounded? The show wraps up with a RHOBH recap, as Jordana, Aleen, and Sami discuss Diana’s callous comments about the CA wildfires—yikes Diana, yikes—and a new Betches airline is born.

Tuning in live from sunny CA, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are out west for the U Up? show in LA. They debrief the live event (surprise—they had a great time), and chat about dating today. Is it possible to meet someone in person anymore? Speaking of meeting people in person, they go through the roster of stars they’ve seen in LA. No Pete Davidson, but they drop some other big names. On the same thread of big names, they break down the latest celeb drama. Brace yourself, there’s a lot to debrief: Julia Haart is becoming the Jewish Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian’s new beau is a finance bro, Kendall Jenner’s break up, Brad Pitt’s new GQ cover, and of course, a chat about the new Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

Jordana starts today’s ep by debriefing the U Up? Live show in the cleaner, smaller New York—AKA Boston. Jordana, Aleen, and Sami are all going to the LA show next week, which will be the first time Aleen’s been to SoCal since her choker-wearing days. Obvi they can’t mention LA without a convo on the Kardashians, and how Kim K broke the Marilyn Monroe dress (yikes). They then talk about another LA star Justin Bieber, and his very scary facial paralysis. Next is a discussion of J.Lo’s new movie Halftime, before getting into the fat-shaming drama surrounding influencer Remi Bader. They wrap up with a chat about Britney Spears’ wedding (and her ex-BF wedding crasher), before debriefing how Erika Jayne can’t afford to pay $2 million in taxes. Have you seen her closet?

Time has indeed passed, the clock continues to tick—AKA Jordana, Aleen, and Sami don’t have a ton of updates from the last time we all chatted. So, onto pop culture we go. Sami starts off by debriefing Julia Haart’s new book (re: the My Unorthodox Life star), and there’s a lot to discuss. No, it’s not PG, and Aleen even spits out her coffee after hearing one of the sex stories—you’ll def want to tune in. Back to PG programming, they segue onto celeb kids and discuss celeb parenting styles—think Prince Louis at the Platinum Jubilee and Pete Davidson taking Saint West on an outing sans Kim K. They wrap up by asking the big q we all wanna know: did Kylie Jenner name her baby yet? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
