    Nikki Glaser's Triumphant Night, Reviewing The Substance, & Jennifer Aydin's Jersey Mike Meltdown
    Jan 10 2025
    This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami discuss their favorite Golden Globes moments: Nikki Glaser's impeccable hosting prowess, Demi Moore and Zoe Saldaña's first ever Globe wins (even certified Emilia Pérez hater Aleen can attest that she earned it), Zendaya and Tom Holland soft launching their engagement, and Timmy and Kylie apparently still going strong. Then, they give a thorough review of The Substance, and why Demi's performance was so effective, even if some elements of the story didn't quite add up. Finally, Jordana explains Jennifer Aydin's recent outburst at an airport Jersey Mikes, and they share some airport annoyances of their own. Our joint Betches of the week are Nikki and Demi, and Jen Aydin can catch the next flight out to the Caymans to figure out how to talk to service workers. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Blake V. Justin, Angelina V. Brad, & Is Meghan Markle The New Martha Stewart?
    Jan 3 2025
    Happy New Year, Betch! Aleen, Jordana, and Sami get caught up on the latest pop culture news, starting with the latest in the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni situation. They may have won Betches' Feud of the Year award in 2024, but it's still going strong in 2025. Next, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are finally divorced after an eight year long battle - we'll never know exactly what happened on that plane, and that's ok. Sami and Aleen are excited for Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix show, but Jordana is less than impressed at the idea of the Duchess of Sussex making jams. Will Aleen watch Wicked in time for the Golden Globes on Sunday? Either way, make sure you're following Betches on socials for our awards show coverage. Our Betch of the Week is Meghan Markle (Jordana's protest vote is noted), and we're sending Justin, Blake, and Ryan to the Caymans for all their shady PR moves. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Betches Partners With NFL, Travis Splurges On Taylor’s 35th, & Hawk Tuah Is In Trouble

    Betches Partners With NFL, Travis Splurges On Taylor’s 35th, & Hawk Tuah Is In Trouble
    Dec 20 2024
    This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami kick things off with the exciting news that Betches is now an official media partner of the NFL! Speaking of football, is Aaron Rodgers cursed, or is it just the Jets? Either way they may want to contact the TikTok witch that predicted Jared’s future wife (IYKYK). Onto celeb news, Taylor Swift turned 35 last Friday, and Travis reportedly spent $175K on gifts - but still no ring, to Jordana’s dismay. Over in the Bravo-verse, James Kennedy says he’s focusing on “sobriety and personal growth” after his recent domestic violence-related arrest, and we hope everyone involved gets the help they need. Next, they turn their attention to The Cut’s new essay from Ethan Slater’s wife, Lilly Jay, in her first public statement since the messy love triangle (square?) with Ariana Grande… and TBH it’s not really giving what we were hoping it would give. Then, they catch up on some recent TV favorites and recommendations for what to binge over the holidays. Finally, Betch of the Week has to go to bday girl Taylor, and Hawk Tuah is getting sent to the Caymans for the fiasco of her $HAWK memecoin. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Selena & Benny Get Engaged, Jack Schlossberg Is Babygirl Of The Year, & Lindsay Lohan's New Look

    Selena & Benny Get Engaged, Jack Schlossberg Is Babygirl Of The Year, & Lindsay Lohan's New Look
    Dec 13 2024
    This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami jump straight into their favorite story of the week: Selena Gomez’s engagement to Benny Blanco - and her perfectly curated IG post (she knows what the people want to see). Will Justin and Hailey score an invite? Is Taylor secretly pissed that Benny popped the question before Travis? They get into all the theories and curate their top 5 celeb bridesmaids. Next, congrats are in order for Reesa Tessa, who rightfully took the crown for Betch of the Year, and Jack Schlossberg, who was named Babygirl of the Year (he really is one of us). Lindsay Lohan is back with a new Netflix movie, but more importantly, are the facelift rumors true? Maybe Michael Lohan put it best when he said her look is “so natural, just like her talent.” Moving on to less celebratory news, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have split just weeks after announcing their pregnancy, but Jordana has her own theory about where their journey is heading. Speaking of famous exes, is there a dollar amount high enough to convince Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to work together again? One film producer seems to think so, but it sounds a little too much like the plot of America’s Sweethearts to be believed. Finally, they close out with Hilary Duff’s daughter’s very sweet reaction to Sabrina Carpenter’s Lizzie McGuire costume. With two Golden Globe noms *and* an engagement, our Betch of the Week is obviously Selena - we’d give anything to go to that wedding. And Machine Gun Kelly is getting put on the first flight out to the Caymans for whatever incriminating “material” Megan Fox found on his phone. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Betch Of The Year Nominees, Does Wicked Live Up To The Hype?, & JonBenet Ramsey Theories
    Dec 6 2024
    The Betch of the Year issue is live! Aleen, Sami, and Jordana kick off this week’s episode with a breakdown of some of their favorite categories and nominees. Then, Sami and Jordana share all their thoughts on Wicked, including an analysis of Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater's on screen chemistry (or lack thereof). Speaking of celeb relationships, are Taylor and Travis getting engaged any time soon? And if the Chiefs don't clinch another Super Bowl win, is the relationship doomed? Meanwhile, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia fled the states for the English countryside, but we're not sure we're buying that it was all to get away from US politics. And finally, Sami and Jordana get into Netflix's new JonBenet Ramsey docuseries and compare their theories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Holding Space & Giving Thanks
    Nov 29 2024
    Happy Thanksgiving, Betch. This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their plans for the holiday and compare notes on festive dishes. Are Brussels sprouts a millennial vegetable, and is that why they’re not as trendy as they used to be? Sami and Aleen explain to Jordana why everyone this past weekend was “holding space” for the lyrics of Defining Gravity, and why the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo press tour has been the inspiration for countless memes. This episode was recorded on Monday, so come back next week for their thoughts on the film. In the meantime, Aleen finally rewatched the original Gladiator, and it did make her cry. Our Betch of the Week is Tracy Gilchrist, the Out reporter who gave us the incredible gift of that Wicked interview, and we’re sending the pilgrims to the Caymans for a multitude of past sins. Make sure to finish reading Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, so you can join us on Monday, December 2nd for the final episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits!
