This week, Sami accidentally made 6 challah for Rosh Hashanah, Jordana shares her harrowing onion chopping accident, and Aleen reminisces about the ways she used to bribe Jordana to hang out in middle school. Most importantly, Jordana unveils her new custom 3 Betch Movers hoodie… We Here For You(r Move). Then, they dive into the headlines, starting with Lana Del Rey’s marriage to alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene, which simultaneously feels like something out of an alternate dimension and completely on brand. Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi shared wedding photos of their own this week, and they’re so very young, but we wish them all the best. Next, some Diddy updates and celeb death conspiracy theories (including a spooky Britney Spears/Brittany Murphy crossover). Onto film and TV, the trio share their thoughts on Nobody Wants This, Will & Harper, The Apprentice, and the trailers for Nicole Kidman’s Babygirl, and Amy Adams’ Night Bitch. Our Betch Of The Week is Lana for not giving a fuck and finding true love, and we’re sending onions (and knives) to the Caymans for maiming Jordana’s finger. Shana Tova!We’ll be back next week at our new Friday 6AM EST release time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ellen Fumbles Her Farewell Special, Diddy’s Legal Troubles Continue, & Did Ryan Murphy Do The Menendez Story Justice?

This week, Sami fills Aleen and Jordana in on her experience at Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s Sweat tour at MSG featuring Lorde and Addison Rae, and they get into the differences between the current grunge vs Barbie pop girl aesthetics. Next, Jordana’s been watching a few things that hit Netflix this week, and she has *thoughts*. First up, her review of Ellen Degeneres’ new and final comedy special (who let her believe this was the material to go out on?) Then, they recap of some of the updates in the Diddy case - keep an eye out for a deeper dive coming soon. Speaking of true crime, the new season of Monster hit Netflix this week, with The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, and Jordana gets into whether or not it nailed the tone… Ryan Murphy might need to take a step back from that genre as a whole. And finally, Jordana shares something worthy of a recommendation: the documentary Into The Fire: The Lost Daughter. We’re sending Ryan Murphy to the Caymans for his Menendez misstep, and our Betches of the week are Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Lorde, and Addison Rae.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Mormon Wives, Diddy’s Arrest, And Kate Middleton’s Uncanny Video

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami talk about their recent experience playing tennis together, and Sami walks them through the high drama of her HOA. Then, they share their thoughts on the new Sopranos documentary Wise Guy, season 2 of Tell Me Lies, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Onto the headlines, Diddy was arrested this week and is being held without bail, and 50 Cent was quick to roast him on social media (too soon?). J Lo and Ben were spotted *allegedly* getting cozy at brunch, and it’s giving us whiplash. And finally, Kate Middleton has returned to her royal duties after completing her cancer treatment, and Jordana, Sami, and Aleen unpack the eerie video she released last week to announce the good news. Our Betch Of The Week is MomTok’s own Taylor Frankie Paul, and we’re sending Ben and J Lo to the Caymans yet again, because we’ve had enough. Learn more about your ad choices.

Taylor Sweeps The VMAs, Selena Gomez Joins The Billionaire Club, JLo And Matt Damon Hold Hands, And Everything Wrong With The Perfect Couple

This week, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana catch up on airplane shoe etiquette (on or off in the bathroom?) before diving into last night’s VMAs, from live performances to fashion choices. Taylor swept for Fortnight, but we’re not buying it as the legitimate Song of the Summer. Meanwhile, Taylor and Travis are doing everything in their power to make us forget about that publicity breakup conspiracy document, and honestly… it’s kind of working. In related billionaire news, Selena Gomez officially joined the club this week, with the success of Rare Beauty. We love a self-made woman, and we will be sat for her upcoming film Emilia Perez. Up at TIFF, JLo and Matt Damon were spotted having an intense conversation while holding hands at the after party for Unstoppable, which stars JLo and is produced by Matt and Ben’s production company. What could they have been talking about? And finally, Netflix’s The Perfect Couple dropped this week and we have… critiques (except for Dakota Fanning, who was perfect). Listen for the full rundown on why it didn’t work for us. Our Betch of the Week is Selena, and we’re packing the plane to the Caymans with the writers room of The Perfect Couple.

Are Taylor And Travis Having A PR Breakup? Is Chappell Roan Our Most Authentic Pop Girlie? And The Launch Of Betches Sports

This week, we kick things off with Jordana’s peak and pit of France, Aleen’s celeb citing at Oh, Mary on Broadway, and Sami’s anniversary gift dilemma. Then, they catch up on their US Open experiences before sharing an exciting announcement: Betches Sports has officially launched on the Betches website! If you’ve ever felt left out by most mainstream sports coverage, Betches Sports is here to change the narrative, starting with The Betchdel Test. Speaking of sports, a (probably fake) document claiming to be Taylor and Travis’ breakup plan leaked on Snapchat this week, and Sami shares a few conspiracy theories of her own. And finally, Jordana is fully obsessed with Chappell Roan and her IDGAF*ckyness. Come back next week for their thoughts on the new season of Tell Me Lies once Aleen catches up. “Emily” from the leaked Tay/Trav Snapchat is simultaneously our Betch of the Week and getting sent to the Caymans, because whoever orchestrated this mess deserves it.

Does Bethany Frankel Know Who Danielle Olivera Is?, Are The Kardashians Selling Tea?, And Lana Del Rey’s Alligator Tour Guide Boyfriend

This week, Jordana’s in France, but Sami is back from DC and catches Aleen up on her time at the DNC, including those Beyoncé rumors. Aleen shares news of her upcoming move and a fun interior decorating discovery with her daughter. The much-anticipated 2nd season of Tell Me Lies is dropping next week, but until then, Aleen is loving Industry (aka X-rated Suits). Bethany Frankel had a cringeworthy run-in with Danielle Olivera in the Hamptons and acted like she was too old to know who she was, but Sami and Aleen aren’t convinced. Brittany Cartwright filed for divorce from Jax Taylor this week, which is yet another reason to tune in to season 2 of The Valley. And what is going on with the Kardashian-Jenners and their cryptic posts about tea? Are they launching a new product… or a podcast? Most importantly, it looks like Aleen may have been right about Kylie and Timmy. In other news, Sabrina Carpenter’s new album is on repeat, but are she and Barry Keoghan still together (or were they ever? It’s giving PR relationship). Congrats are in order for Hailey and Justin Bieber’s new baby Jack Blues, and a tentative congrats to Lana Del Rey on her new relationship… do you think they met on one of his alligator tours? Ben Affleck also sparked relationship rumors with Kick Kennedy, which took us all down yet another weird RFK animal horror story. Our Betch of the Week is Lana for being one of the realest in the game, and we’re sending Armie Hammer right back to the Caymans to escape the LA gas prices. Learn more about your ad choices.

J Lo Files For Divorce, Everyone Wants To Be Demure, & Dakota Johnson Is Still Consciously Coupled With Chris Martin

This week, Sami is away at the Bravocon of politics (aka the DNC), so Aleen and Jordana are here to cover this week’s headlines. Aleen kicks things off with her recent online shopping headache, before they dive into celeb news. First up, J Lo has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on the 2nd anniversary of their Georgia wedding, while Ben is in New Haven with the other Jen dropping their daughter off at Yale. Was This Is Me…Now their 2nd Gigli? And how could they not have a prenup? Next, is the “demure” trend over or are we just too old to participate? Either way, we’re happy for Jools Lebron’s viral hit. Speaking of successful women in media, Alex Cooper of Call Her Daddy fame inked a massive deal with SiriusXM. Just don’t call her the female Joe Rogan. And finally, despite rumors to the contrary and those of us (Jordana) who didn’t even know they were together to begin with, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are still very much engaged, if her massive emerald ring is any indication. We’re sending Fashion Bunker to the Caymans to sort out their customer service, and our very demure, very mindful, very cutesy Betch of the Week is Jools Lebron. Learn more about your ad choices.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s PR War, Matthew Perry’s Doctors Arrested, And Netflix’s New Laci Peterson Docuseries

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen wish Ben Affleck a very happy 52nd birthday, and share their theories on JLo’s recent public sightings with Ben and Jen Garner’s kids. Then, they dive back in to the continuing drama around It Ends With Us. Who is winning the PR war? Does rude behavior in an interview mean Blake is a true mean girl, or are her jokes just not landing? Next, several people have been arrested in connection with Matthew Perry’s death, including two of his doctors. We’ll be keeping an eye on the case as it develops. In true crime news, Jordana watched Netflix’s new Laci Peterson docuseries, and gives Aleen and Sami a refresher on the case. Our Betch of the Week is Lily Collins, because we can’t wait to get home and watch the new season of Emily in Paris, and we’re sending Blake, Ryan, and Justin to the Caymans to do a team building exercise together.

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Media Domination, Does The Cast Of “It Ends With Us” Hate Justin Baldoni?, & The Disappointing House Of The Dragon Finale

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen kick things off with two very important discussions: which fast food chicken place is the best, and would you have chosen Big or Aiden in the SATC universe? In other news, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have been all over social media with their respective films’ press tours. Is Blake Lively a “crown straightener,” or was she mean to Leighton Meester in the Gossip Girl days? Speaking of cast feuds, what is going on with Justin Baldoni versus everyone else in It Ends With Us? He’s almost suspiciously emotionally intelligent. Meanwhile, why didn’t Ryan Reynolds acknowledge Matthew Macfadyen in any of his Deadpool & Wolverine posts? And why hasn’t anyone except Aleen noticed? Then, Jordana and Aleen share their thoughts on the House of the Dragon finale (spoiler: Aleen is pissed), and Jordana catches Aleen and Sami up on all the RHONJ finale drama. Our Betch of the Week is Blake, and we’re sending Luis Ruelas to the Caymans for saying he hopes Margaret Joseph’s son suffers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Simone Biles’ Olympic Gold Clap Back, Ballerina Farm Responds, And Carl Radke’s New Venture

This week, Sami, Aleen, and Jordana kick things off with their favorite Olympics moments so far, including the US Women’s gymnastics team’s incredible win and Simone Biles having the last laugh over MyKayla Skinner. Next, we dive into the world of Ballerina Farm, the viral Times article, and trad wife culture in general. Are they that different from any other lifestyle influencer? Onto celeb news, Ben Affleck bought a $20 million mansion while the $60 million one he shares with JLo still languishes on the market. Can they just announce their separation already so we can all move on? In the world of Bravo, Carl Radke announced his new non-alcoholic venue Soft Bar + Cafe, and we have some constructive criticism on the name. Jax Taylor is reportedly getting some help with his mental health, and we’ll be tuning in when season 2 of The Valley comes back to see how he and Brittany are handling their separation. And finally, Bill Maher has a lot of opinions about Taylor and Travis that he shared with none other than the Hawk Tuah girl. Our Betch of the Week is the entire US women’s gymnastics team, and we’re sending the Times journalist for her mean-spirited article. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
