This week, Sami shares some dog updates with Aleen and Jordana, before they get into the stories of the week. First up is People's Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski, and the DeuxMoi blind item that has people second guessing his crowning. Did Glen Powell and Pedro Pascal actually turn it down, or is that just what their publicists want us to think? Wicked is almost in theaters, and Sami heard a rumor it's the best movie musical since Chicago... Meanwhile, Mattel had to apologize after accidentally linking to a porn site on its Wicked doll packaging. Next up, fellow podcaster Armie Hammer had his mother on the show, who shared that she got him a vasectomy for his birthday last year to make sure there wouldn't be any more little Hammers running around. Usually our moms just take us to dinner, but to each their own. Then, they send congrats to Megan Fox on her pregnancy and speculate on Khloé's mysterious new business venture. In a segment sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer, they share some of their fall traditions. Aleen gives her review of the first half of Emilia Perez, which unexpectedly evoked shades of Cocomelon. We're sending the Mattel packaging and marketing team to the Caymans, and our Betch Of The Week is Emily Blunt, for being married to the Sexiest Man Alive. Make sure to get your copy of Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter and read chapters 9-16, so you can join us on Monday, November 18th for the second episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits!

This week, Aleen, Sami, and Jordana are here to distract you - and themselves - from the news cycle with a deep dive into the new Martha Stewart documentary that hit Netflix last week.

Gisele Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor/boyfriend are expecting their first child together, and Tom Brady might be feeling kind of emo about it, if his IG stories are any indication.
