Jonah Hill’s (Alarming) Texts, The Emmy Noms Are Here, & It’s Britney(’s memoir) B*tch

The betches are back (all three this time) and they’ve got an exciting announcement: meet Faux Pas, the *delicious* canned cocktail (made by yours truly). Sami, Aleen, and Jordana give all the BTS info on their latest endeavor, including the inspo behind the beverage, all the different flavors, and how you can get ’em. Tune in for the tea—actually scratch that, tune in for the cocktail. Then onto pop cultah (as they say). You’ll need a drink for this one, ’cause there’s a lot going on. Britney Spears is pregnant, Bennifer is engaged (that green diamond tho), Hailey Bieber asks trolls to GTFO, Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz’s $$$ wedding, Julia Haart is stirring the company pot (again), and Rihanna’s pregnant Vogue cover is amazing.

Jordana is moving apartments today (again?) but Aleen and Sami are holding down the @ Betches fort. Sami starts off by sharing a Twitter thread (we know she loves her threads) about kids tuning into supernatural abilities—like ghost stuff. In other words, just a regular Thursday morning convo. After Aleen gets too freaked out, they dive into celeb news: Kourtney and Travis got married (sort of) and Erika Jayne has been named in her ex-husband’s lawsuit (much to debrief). Then onto TV drama: they review last week’s ep of The Dropout before sharing their thoughts on The Girl From Plainville. The episode wraps up with a quick fangirling of Amy Schumer— ’cause who doesn’t love Amy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After much jet-setting, the gang’s finally all here. Sami, Aleen, and Jordana are ready to dig into the sh*t show that is pop culture, but first, a recap of that jet-setting. Jordana just got back from her ~trip of a lifetime~ honeymoon, which included skydiving in Dubai (yes, she was terrified). Jordana, Aleen, and Sami then dive (so much diving today) into all the latest in celeb drama. First up is Meghan Markle’s new female-focused podcast, Archetypes. They have a couple q’s—why is Meghan’s voice different? And why does her intro kind of sound like Mean Girls? Then a quick convo about the topic of the hour (or of the last week, really), Will Smith’s Oscars slap—you know the one. They wrap up the ep with a quick chat about Hilaria and Alec Baldwin—and their seventh child. Much to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today’s episode begins in a dream—no literally, Aleen shares a very *unique* dream she had the other night including Succession, Gumby, and a coffee date (she and Sami ofc debrief). Then onto *real* pop culture news that feels like a dream: RHONY is renewed with a part new cast/part OG cast. Can’t you just feel the drama brewing already? Then onto the world of Kardadshians. Pete’s mom wants him to have a baby with Kim, Britney Spears doesn’t know who Pete is, & Kylie Jenner is undoing her son’s name (it was Wolf BTW). Sami & Aleen wrap up with some TV talk including And Just Like That’s szn 2 renewal, the new Netflix movie Windfall (SPOILERS start at 32:00 and end at 44:12), and a quick recap of some current favs: The Dropout, Life & Beth, and We Crashed. If you have any other recs, send ’em our way (with a 5 star review pls).

On today’s ep, Aleen’s joining from Florida, Sami’s back from Switzerland but is tuning in from LA, and Jordana’s out on her honeymoon. It’s like a game of traveling musical chairs over here (and we’re v jealous). They start on Sami’s current coast, and dive into Vanderpump Rules’ Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz getting divorced. They pose the q we’re all wondering—how much of Katie and Tom’s relationship was just for TV? Speaking of chaotic (& LA based) families, Sami recaps the *insane* Pete and Kanye text convo, and Aleen shares a dream she had based on said texts (out here living, breathing, sleeping pop culture). Then onto Kim’s latest fumble where, (as a billionaire), she tells ppl to work harder—tune in for the debrief. Lastly, the ep wraps up with a recap of Aleen and Josh Peck’s reunion. Yes, the Josh from Drake & Josh—you def want to hear this story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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).
