Sami kicks off today’s episode coming at you live from DC. Then onto the album on everyone’s lips… The Tortured Poets Department, and what are our fave songs so far? We’re into petty Taylor (especially when she likes and then unlikes our IG post!) Speaking of petty, the Betches delve into the Kim K song drama of it all… Will Taylor ever get over it? Speaking of Kardashians, Kylie Jenner might be pregnant again! Listen and you’ll fi...

The original recipe is back, IRL. Aleen kicks things off with a revelation that one day, some day, she *will* turn 40, but at least she has a trip to Japan to look forward to. Of course, we have to discuss all things Taylor ahead of The Tortured Poets Department release. Even Jordana has to admit Tay and Travis looked really cute at Coachella. On a *not so shocking note * the Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner is getting a divorce after ...

The Betches begin this week’s episode with their peaks and pits of their collective 35th birthday Mexico getaway-- including what they were up to when they found out about the shocking Kate Middleton news. We all owe her an apology... Then onto some other serious topics (not the lightest news day). They discuss Diddy’s FBI home invasion and their thoughts on the the chilling Quiet on Set Nickelodeon documentary. In happier news, Ar...

The trio is back in action. According to Aleen, the joke’s on us because the Caymans are lovely. We’re recording a day early, because the Betches are going on their collective bday trip tomorrow to Mexico, so first they dive in to KateGate. Of course we’re talking about the TMZ video. Is it a body double? Why are the Royals carrying plastic bags? Is Rose Hanbury the posh Raquel Leviss? Then onto America’s knockoff royal family- the...

While Aleen’s in the Caymans, Sami recaps her trip to the White House and Jordana gives a sneak peak into her U Up interview with her dream guest Esther Perel. They recap the (boring) Oscars, where the most exciting headline seems to be Vanessa Hudgens’ pregnancy.

Sup, betch. Sami is podcasting from DC today, before heading off to the White House! We fear she’s become a Gen Z TikToker, because she’s doing a GRWM while recording. A multi tasking queen. The three dive in on one of Sami’s fave topics: the Royals and Kate Middleton’s suss spotting. Can we all give the girl a break?? Next, some Bravo updates: splits, pregnancies, and a new couple feat. an Olsen twin’s ex. Listen and you’ll find o...

All 3 betches are back in studio IRL, and joined by a very special guest… Sami’s new puppy! It’s toasty AF in here, so the gals are schvitzing and stressin’. Speaking of stress, the 3 kick off today’s episode with the name on everyone’s lips: Kate Middleton — WTF is going on and what won’t William tell us?! We’re waiting for her TikTok debut, preferably to Beyonce’s Texas hold ’em. Now onto another man stirring up some drama, Travi...

Sami got a dog! Well, she exchanged dogs with her mom. Long story, you gotta listen. It’s been a slow week for celebrities, so we’re kickin’ it old school and talking about the most brow raising articles from The Cut and The NY Times, which include a scary scammer piece and VPR’s Assistant’s exposé…Ann has a bright future ahead of her. Jordana thinks she can scam Sami…now that would be a fun game to play. They wrap with Aleen’s hot...

The company is officially a grown woman… happy Betch Mitzvah to you all on our 13th birthday. Sami, Aleen, and Jordana share some of their fave memories from the early days and tell an embarrassing Facebook story. They debrief a busy Super Bowl Sunday and there’s a lot to unpack: Travis let his bro-flag fly, Ben & JLo stole the show with their Dunkin commercial, and Taylor looked great every time she was on screen. They also tell u...

It’s been a long time comin’, but Sami and Holly are back for another episode of Speak Now (Betches Version). There’s A LOT going on at the moment, because Tay just made history at the Grammys, exhibited some very unhinged behavior, AND she simultaneously dropped a major announcement: a brand new album that’s been “2 years in the making”. Yes, we have some reason to believe that the title is a dig at you-joe-who. Fresh off the Gram...

All three betches are back recording together this week and begin by discussing Drake’s NSFW video… IYKYK. Did he release this video himself or was it really leaked? They debrief a packed Grammys show that featured a few awkward Taylor Swift moments on stage, and an amazing performance of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman – Jordana’s her new biggest fan… even though she only likes the one song. Also Jay-Z made things uncomfortable for ever...

It’s February - the worst month ever! But that also means that Betches’s birthday is in 2 weeks...and it's our Betch Mitzvah! Won't you please come up and light candle number 13? Sami is preparing a montage, and maybe we’ll include Levels by Avicii in it, if we can get the music rights (shout out to the TikTok vs. UMG feud). While Sami is sound mixing, Jordana is busy selling her wares on Facebook Marketplace (her Betch of the Week...

Sami and Aleen are back in the Betches HQ studio and they’ve got a bone to pick with the Oscar noms that were just released. Everyone is buzzing about Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie snubs, and we’re all ready to move past darkly-lit “complex man does terrible thing” movies. Onto things we love – Selena Gomez opened up about body image in a series of IG posts with an inspiring update on a throwback bikini moment. Aleen also shares a...

Ho ho ho, betch. Sami and Jordana are recording this episode a little early for you because by this time, Sami will be jet setting to Japan- a #1 bucket list destination for her.

Another couple bites the dust, this time it’s Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny (no shock there). From one break up to a surprise engagement...
