Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Jordana, Sami, and Aleen share their plans for the holiday: who’s hosting, what are they bringing, what’s the best size for a gathering? So yes, this is kind of turning into a Martha Stewart podcast, but we’re not mad about it. Then onto celeb news of the week, and they start off with the big breakup—Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde. They debate when the breakup actually happened (re: the weird af premiere), and Jordana asks the important q: will Harry miss her salad dressing? This leads into an article that Sami recently found, all about Haribo, a returned $4.8 million check, and a *disappointing* gummy bear reward. Then back to pop culture, and Aleen gives the rundown of what else happened this week. Spoiler: it’s not much. They wrap up debriefing the latest White Lotus episode, and Sami shares a major plot twist theory. Did she just crack the case?

Sami, Jordana, and Aleen start off with some speculation—who is Pete Davidson’s new fling? Was Aleen right, is it Helen Mirren? Was Sami—is it Selena Gomez? Turns out it’s Emily Ratajkowski, and Aleen, Sami, and Jordana chat about the rumored relationship and go through Pete’s girlfriends past (TBT to Kate Beckinsale). Pete is clearly sleeping his way to the top, but what top is that? Where does he go from here? They discuss Pete’s fame trajectory, before debriefing the Taylor Swift ticket and waiting-in-line frenzy. Jordana relates—she has stood in some long gelato lines before. They wrap up unpacking The Crown season 5 (what do you think of the new queen?), before deciding who’s going to the Cayman Islands: Prince Charles or Ticketmaster?

Aleen starts off by recapping the *fab* Marcus Mumford concert she went to, including all of her celeb sightings—Evan Spiegel and Hilary Duff’s husband. Sami and Jordana wonder how TF she recognized them, before they defer the conversation to Jordana. AKA, the Selena Gomez point person, to discuss Selena’s new documentary (it’s beside the point that Jordana doesn’t follow Selena on Instagram). They get into a *passionate* debate about the documentary, but come to the consensus that the first half is better. Then onto another documentary…of sorts. They debrief the new “Buying Beverly Hills” reality show with Kyle Richards’ fam, and share their takes on the daughters and the nepotism. They wrap up with a discussion about *that* new Jennifer Aniston cover before going through celebs who are allegedly disliked—is Julia Roberts more bitchy than diva or diva than bitchy?

Aleen is back from her Hawaiian vaca, and she recaps the trip to Jordana and Sami in one word—amazing. They also give a Halloween recap, before debriefing the showstopper that was Heidi Klum’s worm costume. Jordana and Aleen were v impressed by the commitment, but Sami just doesn’t like worms. Couldn’t Heidi have picked something less gross? They reminisce on their own college costume days, and break down their Twilight remake (yes, Aleen was Edward). Then onto a couple more Halloween-adjacent topics: Tristan Thompson was at the Kardashian’s party and Gigi Hadid and Leonardo DiCaprio were seen out on the town together—again. They wrap up with some much needed TV talk (warning: spoilers ahead), and unpack The Watcher and The White Lotus. Jordana asks the pertinent question—why do they only eat at the hotel for dinner?

Sami and Jordana say aloha to Aleen while she’s in Hawaii this week and talk costumes before the Halloweekend begins. Next up is the season finale they’ve been dying to talk about - Tell Me Lies season one concluded and they’ve got thoughts. Lots of thoughts. Is this a realistic depiction of college relationships? Where did they go wrong adapting it from the book? And where will things go in season 2? Then they recap Kathy Hilton’s latest gaslighting on the Real Housewives of Bev Hills finale. Is her “deny, deny, deny” strategy going to work or just making her look worse? They talk about Taylor Swift’s new album and latest music video controversy, before offering a reaction to Adidas finally dropping Ye followed by his unannounced visit to *checks notes* the Sketchers headquarters. Finally, they break down the drama surrounding Travis Scott allegedly cheating on Kylie Jenner. Is anyone in Hollywood monogamous anymore?

The band of three is back together, now that Sami has finished her big move to the ‘burbs. The update? Aleen came over and showed Sami the joy of kitchen organization. Then onto TV, and Jordana asks what everyone has been watching, only for them to realize they’ve all been watching different things (they'll get on the same page for next week). They then dive into what the people are really here for: Olivia Wilde’s salad dressing. Sami breaks down the timeline of all the drama with the nanny, and Aleen shares where the recipe comes from. Then onto another celeb who doesn’t look great in the news right now — James Corden. Aleen gives the rundown on the short-lived Balthazar feud (what even is an egg yolk omelet), before Sami asks Jordana her thoughts on the Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber pic — you know the one. They wrap up with who they’re sending to the Cayman Islands: the nanny or James Corden?

What a good week to catch up—on TV that is, oh and life. But isn’t TV life? Jordana does give some real life updates about her sister’s wedding, which included a security guard to keep the family on their best behavior (tune in for the deets). Aleen shares Mila’s potential Halloween costumes (so cute), and Jordana gives the best suggestion. Then onto TV, and Jordana and Aleen talk about the shows they’re into right now: The Patient, Bling Ring, RHOBH, and of course, House of the Dragon. They debrief all of the twists and turns of the GOT spinoff (PSA there are some spoilers), and Aleen asks what we’ve all been wondering: how come all of the actresses are gone but the actors stayed the same? They wrap up with the latest Kanye West drama and unpack his v upsetting antics, before chatting about a happier subject—Blink-182 is getting the band back together. Should they get tickets?

Jordana starts things off with a story she has been waiting all week to tell. It includes a sleepless night, Sami, and some v funny 2012 Facebook messages—tune in to hear what went down. Then onto the ’ole celeb gossip. Jordana, Sami, and Aleen debrief all of the press surrounding Tom and Gisele’s divorce (Aleen clarifies that it is Tom Brady, not Girardi they’re discussing). Then onto another, umm, divorced couple—Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They recap the latest court documents regarding the very sad 2016 plane incident, before pivoting to a quick convo about all of the Kanye PFW drama. We know, we hate talking about him too. Then Sami, (AKA the Alec Baldwin News Network), wraps up the ep with an update on the Rust incident, before they all discuss the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills finale and Lisa Rinna’s latest antics.

Sorry, Jordana can’t get to the phone right now, she’s in Hawaii. But don’t worry, Sami and Aleen are here to dial in all things pop culture. Up first is the v smutty, royal family tell-all that Sami’s been reading. Sami breaks down the book, which explains why the royal family reacted the way they did, re: all things Meghan and Harry. Then onto a podcast expose about American royalty—Hailey Bieber. Sami and Aleen unpack the interview and realize they are in fact team Selena and Hailey. (Sorry to Jordana, the Jelena 4evr fan.) They discuss Hailey’s huge influence (Aleen even ruined her nails for the glazed look), before chatting about another Baldwin. Hilaria has named her seventh kid—wait for it—Ilaria. Lots to unpack. Sami and Aleen wrap up by predicting which songs Rihanna will sing at the Super Bowl before, of course, deciding who’s going to the Cayman Islands.

Did someone say girl’s trip? Sami, Aleen, and Jordana are headed on a quick getaway this weekend to hike, bond, and sh*t talk (just a little). And speaking of sh*t talking, Jordana and Aleen have some thoughts about House of the Dragon. What’s with all of the uncomfortable sex scences? Then onto discussing The Patient which, despite Sami not watching the show, Jordana and Aleen still use her account—relatable. Jordana has one more show to discuss, Tell Me Lies, before they dive into an Emmys recap. Re: that weird Jimmy Kimmel incident & Sheryl Lee Ralph’s amazing speech. Sami then gives a full breakdown on all of the royal drama post-Queen Elizabeth’s death (RIP), before they quickly discuss Lemme, Kourtney Kardashian’s new company. Lemme guess, it’s a wellness product?
