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.

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

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.

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. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.

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

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

Jordana’s out on a ~secret mission~ today (stay tuned for the big reveal next month), but Sami & Aleen are here and ready to clown around. They were all at their friend’s wedding this past weekend, and Aleen did some bragging about a certain Marvel (& Gossip Girl) actor who’s coming on the Betches’ U Up? podcast next week. Tune in for the tea. On the subject of acting, Sami & Aleen dive into all things Euphoria. While they have some mixed opinions about the szn finale (that serenade tho), there's no denying Rue, Cassie, et al. killed the acting game. Then onto a show that’s less strong in that department (but the crazy AF story carries you through): Inventing Anna. Aleen formally retracts all previous statements about hating it, as she did indeed end up watching the whole thing. Sami then reveals a different kind of con, well, it’s more like a religious cult for TikTok dancers (you’re gonna want to hear more about this one). They wrap up the ep with a RHOSLC debrief, including how they’d recast the show (Mary should be on RHOM due to her wackiness, ofc). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jordana and Aleen are holding down the fort this week while Sami skis in Gstaad (say that 10x fast). In more jetset news, Jordana’s leaving for her honeymoon tomorrow (to Sri Lanka & the Maldives—a dream) and Aleen’s taking baby Mila to Naples for the first time (the Florida one, to be clear).

On today’s ep, Aleen’s joining from Florida, Sami’s back from Switzerland but is tuning in from LA, and Jordana’s out on her honeymoon. It’s like a game of traveling musical chairs over here (and we’re v jealous). They start on Sami’s current coast, and dive into Vanderpump Rules’ Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz getting divorced. They pose the q we’re all wondering—how much of Katie and Tom’s relationship was just for TV? Speaking of chaotic (& LA based) families, Sami recaps the *insane* Pete and Kanye text convo, and Aleen shares a dream she had based on said texts (out here living, breathing, sleeping pop culture). Then onto Kim’s latest fumble where, (as a billionaire), she tells ppl to work harder—tune in for the debrief. Lastly, the ep wraps up with a recap of Aleen and Josh Peck’s reunion.

Then onto *real* pop culture news that feels like a dream: RHONY is renewed with a part new cast/part OG cast. Can’t you just feel the drama brewing already? Then onto the world of Kardadshians. Pete’s mom wants him to have a baby with Kim, Britney Spears doesn’t know who Pete is, & Kylie Jenner is undoing her son’s name (it was Wolf BTW). Sami & Aleen wrap up with some TV talk including And Just Like That’s szn 2 renewal, the new Netflix movie Windfall (SPOILERS start at 32:00 and end at 44:12), and a quick recap of some current favs: The Dropout, Life & Beth, and We Crashed. If you have any other recs, send ’em our way (with a 5 star review pls).

After much jet-setting, the gang’s finally all here. Sami, Aleen, and Jordana are ready to dig into the sh*t show that is pop culture, but first, a recap of that jet-setting. Jordana just got back from her ~trip of a lifetime~ honeymoon, which included skydiving in Dubai (yes, she was terrified). Jordana, Aleen, and Sami then dive (so much diving today) into all the latest in celeb drama. First up is Meghan Markle’s new female-focused podcast, Archetypes. They have a couple q’s—why is Meghan’s voice different? And why does her intro kind of sound like Mean Girls? Then a quick convo about the topic of the hour (or of the last week, really), Will Smith’s Oscars slap—you know the one. They wrap up the ep with a quick chat about Hilaria and Alec Baldwin—and their seventh child. Much to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Plus, they discuss Pete Davidson’s strange appeal and the outrageous NDAs people have to sign in order to attend his shows.

Surprise, Betch. Jordana, Aleen and Sami came together to record a special episode recapping the Super Bowl. Aleen got very into it this year, Jordana’s all about the bets, and Sami could can’t imagine caring that much about something. (She lets the memes find her.) They dish on how they celebrated, what they watched, their best and worst commercials of the night, and of course share their hot takes on Rihanna’s halftime show.

First, Alicia tells us where Donald Trump’s son-in-law got his start (under his father’s watch), and covers the various scandals and convictions the Kushner family has under its belt. Next, Bryan tries to explain how Donald Trump’s father helped create one of the most inept (and destructive) presidents in history, and tells us how his children carry on the family tradition of raking in money and opportunity despite their lack of any discernible merit.

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. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

This week, Sami shares her chilling Facebook hacking experience with Aleen and Jordana, before getting into the headlines. First, Heidi and Spencer have turned tragedy into an unexpected comeback, galvanizing their followers into getting Heidi’s 2010 album to #1 on iTunes. We love their love and we wish them well! Next, Timothée Chalamet is headed back to SNL this weekend as host… and musical guest. Is he going to be in full Bob Dylan mode, or should we be expecting a song from the Lil Timmy Tim archives? After a long enough hiatus that neither Aleen and Jordana can remember season 1, Severance is finally back for season 2. Was their performance art publicity stunt in Grand Central cool enough to get Sami to binge it? Finally, there are a few things the trio *did* watch this week - they share their highlights and theories from the new episodes of The Traitors, and give their review of awards darling Conclave. Our Betch of the Week is Speidi, and we’re sending Lauren Conrad to the Caymans for not making a video promoting Superficial, and for that resurfaced video from The Hills where she made fun of Heidi’s new job.

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share where they were when TikTok went dark, their theories about how the app is changing, and their favorite memes from Monday's inauguration. Then, they dive deep into Justin Baldoni's new lawsuit and some of the more revealing text exchanges with Blake Lively (aka Khaleesi?). Is Ryan Reynolds the real mastermind behind this feud? What does Jenny Slate know that we don't? There's more to this than what we've seen so far, and we'll be keeping an eye on how things unfold. Next, Oscar nominations were announced yesterday, and it looks like it's time for Aleen to finally finish watching Emilia Pérez, because it came out on top with an impressive, if baffling, 13 noms. Finally, they give their review of fellow Best Picture nominee Anora. Our joint Betches of the Week are TikTok, for pulling a Selena Gomez and coming back online a mere 12 hours after dramatically going dark, and @Bee.Better.Company for helping us decipher the Baldoni lawsuit. We're sending Ryan Reynolds to the Caymans to get his ego under control once and for all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami analyze the latest pap photos and rumors around Taylor Swift’s potential engagement to Travis Kelce. Could a pair of gloves be hiding a ring, or is it just freezing outside? Are they waiting until after the Super Bowl to make their big announcement? Is this all an intentional distraction tactic to distance herself from the Blake Lively drama? On that note, Jordana’s entire TikTok algorithm is full of It Ends With Us drama, which prompted her and Sami to rewatch the OG Gossip Girl pilot - and Chuck is so much worse than they remembered. Next, they celebrate Meryl Streep’s incredible escape from the LA wildfires by cutting a hole in her fence and driving through it. Then, Spencer Pratt remains consistent as Heidi Montag’s biggest fan, shutting down fan suggestions that she should join RHOBH. Our Betch of the Week is Chanel Ayan, who mistakenly thought the former Survivor contestants on The Traitors were in fact survivors of real life tragedies. No one is going to the Caymans this week - but if you think there’s someone who deserves it, let us know your thoughts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their highlights from the Grammys and dissect Taylor's outfit for hidden meanings. Then, after having read the full Justin Baldoni lawsuit, they try to analyze the strategic mind of Blake Lively, and how things got so messy. What are the chances Blake joins Taylor at the Super Bowl on Sunday? In Oscars news, Emilia Pérez might not be as much of a frontrunner as originally projected, now that Karla Sofia Gascon's problematic tweets have come to light. Aleen thinks Zoe Saldaña might still have a fighting chance. On the awards circuit for A Real Pain, Jesse Eisenberg has been trying to distance himself from the association with Mark Zuckerberg... don't worry, Jesse, you're much more human to us. Our Betch of the Week, presented by Peacock's Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy, is obviously Beyonce for her long-awaited Grammy wins, tour announcement, and our favorite meme so far this year. As for the Caymans, we're sending Kim Kardashian's ex husband (who shall not be named) for his red carpet stunt, and Karla for those tweets and her lack of apology. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Sami catches Jordana up on her recent ski trip (she's come a long way from that first attempt). Then, they share their thoughts on SNL's recent 50th Anniversary concert and special - most notably Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance. Was it a strategic ploy to appear strong in the face of their legal battle with Justin Baldoni? And did Ryan give Blake a heads up before doing that joke? Next, Sami and Jordana break down everything wrong with Meghan Markle's renamed lifestyle brand As Ever, and her public image at large. Speaking of public image, Maya Hawke revealed this week that a large Instagram following is becoming a requirement to getting cast in films. What happened to good old fashioned talent? Finally, they wrap with some White Lotus reactions - make sure to check out Sami's recap episodes and Substack every Monday for a deeper dive. Our Betch of the Week is Cher for her incredible performance at the SNL 50 concert, and Ryan Reynolds can sit next to Jordana on her upcoming flight to the Caymans so he can explain the thought process behind his behavior.

This week, Aleen and Sami begin with a tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg, in light of her tragic passing on Wednesday. Then, they unpack the news that infamous conman Billy McFarland is back with plans for Fyre Festival 2, featuring a lot of vague ideas and exactly zero confirmed artists. Will Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino make an appearance? Who exactly is shelling out $1.1mil for VIP tickets to the "experience of Fyre" (whatever that means)? In podcast news, Alix Earle's podcast has been dropped by Alex Cooper's Unwell Network, amidst rumors and Deux Moi posts hinting at tension between the Al(i/e)xes. Speaking of Alex Cooper, Monica Lewinsky promoted her new podcast with a guest appearance on Call Her Daddy this week, stirring Aleen and Sami's formative elementary school memories of the scandal and impeachment trial. Next up, they dive into the series premiere of The Baldwins - from Hilaria doubling down on the Spanish accent, to Alec's Rust trial, to their seven (seven!) kids, to the ultimate question of: ¿por qué? Pivoting from trashy reality to prestige scripted, they share their latest White Lotus takes. Our Betch of the Week is Rihanna, for the exciting news about her long-awaited 9th album, and we're sending Billy McFarland off to the Caymans because we know how much he loves an island.

This week, Jordana and Sami compare notes on their best and worst moments from Sunday's Academy Awards, including Cynthia and Ariana's Wicked performance, Kieran Culkin and Adrian Brody's speeches, and agism in the Best Actor vs. Best Actress categories. Then, they give their honest review of the first two episodes of Meghan Markle/Sussex's new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and cover everything from local bee keeping, to awkwardly correcting Mindy Kaling, and whether this show actually helps us understand who the real Meghan is. Finally, they wrap with some quick-fire pop culture updates featuring Mason Disick, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, and the late Gene Hackman. Our joint Betches of the week are Cynthia Erivo for her amazing live rendition of "Defying Gravity," and Mikey Madison for her Oscar victory. Meghan and Adrien Brody are both getting sent to the Caymans as punishment for simply being annoying. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Aleen, Jordana, and Sami are back for episode two of the new season, and this week they’re talking all about their college days together. 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.

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.

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?

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?

This week, Sami, Jordana, and Aleen are back to talk about the most impactful pop culture, technology, and media changes they experienced in their early years. They start off talking about just how different communication was back in college with Blackberries and BBM pings, and how annoying it was to not be able to turn off read receipts. 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.
