@Betches

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). Whether you agree or disagree, or if you just have a new show they need to watch, throw us a 5 star review and share your thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

Aleen and Jordana start this week’s ep by sharing their tales of partying hard re: their bff’s bachelorette party. Aleen asked Jordana to borrow a bronzer brush and was shocked at it’s, uh, messy state of being. They then dive into discussing another engagement, one with a bit more…blood. Yup, MGK and Megan Fox actually drank each other’s blood after their engagement. Anywho, recovering from how strange that is, they get into a wild relationship of the familial sort—Jamie Lynn Spears has spoken out about her relationship with sister Britney, who has recently unfollowed Jamie on IG—or as Jordana likes to call it, some typical sister shit. The conversation makes a quick tone shift to remember America’s fave TV dad, Bob Saget, who recently passed away at 65. Aleen shares her deep appreciation of Bob’s most popular show, Full House. Then they chat about another show full of families, friends, and the struggles of youth—only this time, it’s jam packed with sex and drugs. You guessed it—Euphoria! A show that gives Jordana and Aleen a lot of pause about children these days, and makes them realize that by comparison they were prude as f*ck in high school—relatable. Speaking of f*cked up TV, they round off the show sharing their mixed reviews of the star-packed, end-of-the-world movie Don’t Look Up. They wrap it up with a shout-out to Sami—if you’re out there listening, be careful skiing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Are you a fan of puzzles? So is Jordana. She kicks off this week’s episode sharing her love of literal puzzles (the 1,000 piece kind to be exact), which leads into Jordana, Aleen, and Sami talking about a truly puzzling topic—how tf could Tristan Thompson cheat on Khloe K yet again, and have a kid with another woman?! The conversation then shifts to another woman who seems to always choose the wrong men. Yes, we’re talking about Carrie Bradshaw. They discuss how the latest installment of And Just Like That, we’re sorry to tell you, only gets cringier. They reminisce on the OG SATC and pose the controversial q we all couldn’t help but wonder—should Carrie just have ended up single way back then and saved us the time? Continuing on the theme of b*tches with drama, they talk about the latest season of RHOC, including the ins and outs of what makes a good RH—Aleen compares it to a game of chess—and how RHOSLC is missing the ball. The show wraps up with a few pop culture predictions for the new year: Will Miley Cyrus and Pete Davidson date? Will Justin and Hailey Bieber have a kid? And who will be the next to break up?

Following last week’s v controversial debate, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana revisit the og Sex and the City TV show. Yes, it really is as good as you remember and no, it’s actually not cheesy. The trio then get into an ultimate recap of 2021 and discuss all the important things. You know, best Bravo moments of the year—Erika Jayne or Jen Shah?—whether or not Squid Game deserves the spot of top TV show, and was Olivia Rodrigo’s Drivers License song really that big of a deal—or are we just millennials? After delving deep into 2021’s pop culture past, they round off the show with a game that tests how well they kept tabs. Like, remember when wild hogs stole Shakira’s purse? Yeah, they forgot about that too. Finally, Sami shares her go-to research method for digging into celeb tea—think, JB and Selena’s relationship, Kim Cattrall and SJP’s feud—and Aleen asks the hard hitting q: Is it actually research or is Sami just reading an 8th grader’s blog?

They also discuss how complicated it was to invite people to parties back then, and how they would deal with the clean up afterwards by invoking the famed “Threshold Rule.” Next, they talk about a few apps that completely changed the way they interacted with their phones and each other, including Instagram, Venmo, and Spotify. They also talk about the advent of streaming services and remember the first shows that made them get a Netflix subscription. After that, they get into a listener email about the world’s obsession with the Royal Family and whether it’s really worth our attention. Is the British obsession with them the same as the American obsession with the Kardashians? To end the show, they play a round of Succession Trivia, where they put their knowledge to the test about some lesser known behind-the-scenes facts about the show and the people involved in it.

On this episode, Jordana, Sami, and Aleen go all into one of their favorite activities: Traveling. They start off with their study abroad experiences during college, and why Aleen couldn’t join them on their adventures. They reflect on the culture shock that they experienced at that age, and how it would later feed into the satirical content they would make at the very beginning of Betches. Then, they get into post-college trips and how different they were from their college era-travels, discussing family trips, honeymoons, and Aleen’s near-encounter with future president Joe Biden on a trip to Capri. After that, it’s time for the Dear Betches email for the week, where a listener writes in about struggling to plan her best friend’s destination bachelorette party as the Maid of Honor. How do you balance the lofty expectations of the bride while being considerate of the costs and logistics for all of the guests? To end the show, they play The Layover Game, where they have to decide which attractions in famous cities around the world they would either visit, check out, or chuck out of their itineraries altogether.

Today’s episode is all about how the Betches founders first got into podcasting, with stories of how Jordana, Sami and Aleen each came to host some of your favorite shows. They begin by listening to a brief clip of their very first podcast discussion way back in 2016 (spoiler: Rob and Blac Chyna were still relevant at the time). They reminisce on how Betch Slapped first got started, and what led them to launch a number of other podcasts including U Up?, Diet Starts Tomorrow, and more. They also discuss what it means to have a “vulnerability hangover” after a podcast recording, the unique feeling of baring your personal life to a huge audience, and the perils of handing out advice to strangers. Then a listener writes in to ask whether or not she should offer some unsolicited dating advice of her own to a friend who’s struggling in the romance department. Is it ever okay to offer guidance unprompted, or is it always best to keep it to yourself? Finally, they pay homage to the first game ever played on the podcast by having a “verbal smackdown” style debate about a very important subject: What is the definitive HBO show?

This week is all about how Sami, Jordana and Aleen each met their significant other. They start with the story of how Sami was first introduced to her husband Avi, and why it took so long for them to actually start dating after their first encounter. She tells us how they eventually got serious, decided to get engaged, and had a wedding ceremony in the exact same location where they first met. Aleen explains the way she found her husband Rusty (even though they technically went to high school together) and how their relationship progressed over time, culminating in a two minute dance routine to Mumford and Sons at their wedding. Jordana tells us about getting set up with her now-fiancé Mike and where their upcoming wedding will be. Plus, they tell the story of the time they all did a paper-burning ceremony in Montauk that led them each to find lasting love. Then an emailer writes in to ask if she should stick with her longtime boyfriend for the sake of having children before it’s too late, even though their communication style doesn’t seem compatible. Is it better to stick it out for the sake of your life plans, or is it better to call things off now? To close the show, they play a Newlywed-style game featuring detailed responses from Avi, Rusty, and Mike, proving once and for all who knows their significant other best.

Jordana, Sami, and Aleen start the fifth episode of the season exactly where we left off last time, with the story of Sami’s little-known *gasp* first engagement. She tells us all the details about how she ended up in Israel during her mid-twenties, almost fell into an orthodox lifestyle, and met the guy who would eventually become her ex-fiancé. They talk about how easy it is to feel lost in your twenties, and why we make decisions out of confusion and uncertainty. Aleen and Jordana share some of their biggest mistakes from the past, and talk about why it’s hard to feel regret about experiences that shape you. Then a listener writes in to ask if she’ll ever find closure after a devastating breakup from her first love. Do we idealize our past relationships too much?

They tell us about the pre-Tinder dating scene and recall in detail the moment dating apps took over (like literally, the actual day the swiping started). They also highlight some of the biggest differences between the city today and what it was like 10 years ago. Then a listener writes in to ask for advice when it comes to leaving your hometown for the first time and moving to the big city. Where do you even start, and how do people make new friends?

They tell us how they ended up going to the same school (it was a lot like an MLM recruitment) and why they each chose their majors. They talk about what dorm life was like, dating in college, and what led them to join a sorority together. They explain the sorority rush process, and why it felt more like high school than actual high school did. Plus, they explain how their feelings about the toxic elements of Greek life helped shape the Betches brand in the first place. We hear the story of when and where Betches was born during their Senior year, including what their headspace was like at the time. Then they dive into the Dear Betch email of the week, all about the bonds you form in school and when it’s time to admit a friendship has run its course.

Aleen Dreksler, Sami Sage, and Jordana Abraham return to talk about the origin of their friendship (going all the way back to childhood) and some of their favorite memories together.

They swap stories about how they messed with one another in high school, dealing with disappointment, and what they would do differently (hint: they’d care a whole lot less about grades and drop band class much sooner).

Then it’s time for the Dear Betch email of the week featuring some advice about “girl code” rules when it comes to an ex.
