Tuck your cloven hooves into your slip-on shoes, because Sami and Aleen are back to recap Episode 8 of Succession's final season - and it's finally election night. Absentee ballots are on fire, there's wasabi in Decision Deck Darwin's eyes, Greg's getting busted back down to Greg for the night, and we're down to our last functioning touchscreen. Sami and Aleen share the power rankings for the week, some of their favorite quotes, and cap it off with The Forecast (or perhaps we could call it PENDING).
Thanks for listening… but be warned, for the Conheads are coming. And be sure to tune in every single Monday for the rest of this season of Succession to hear more recaps!

Sami and Jordana share their favorite looks from the evening and introduce our new segment, Who Wore It Betch? Sponsored by Sparkling Ice.

Jordana gives her debrief after watching with Mike. Justice 4 Bridget Moynahan, listen and you’ll find out why. The two share which celebs they’d love to be roasted next, and the list is endless. The Betches wanna be roasted! Perhaps a joint 40th birthday founders roast? They wrap up with WTF is going on in the rap world aka Drake and Kendrick’s latest beef. Bring Esther Perel on to facilitate the roast of these guys. Therapy sessions are the new roast, we don’t make the rules. Our Betch of the Week is Tyla, because she had the best outfit, and got people to carry her up the stairs.

We begin today’s episode with Sami’s celeb sightings and peak and pit from her time at the White House last week. Hint, one includes Jon Hamm. The Betches do a quick segue into The Valley, because Jax Taylor and Brittany were at the Correspondents Dinner… Switching gears from celebs in DC to NYC-- we’re less than a week away from the MET Gala. The 3 give their predictions on who will show up. And how miserable will Ben Affleck look? His wife is a co-chair of the evening after all… Then onto the IG comment that sent the internet spiraling: Barbra Streisand asking Melissa McCarthy if she’s on Ozempic. Then onto another quick Baby Reindeer recap because Jordana is curious. She also gives her Anyone But You review. Is Sydney Sweeney a good actress… or is she just really hot? Thus going into a convo on what their fave bad romcoms of all time are. Jax Taylor will be sent to the Caymans because he sent Brittany to a tantric sex expert. Wtf?!

Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poetry, Is Kylie Jenner *Actually* Pregnant?, and Our Baby Reindeer Debrief

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 3 months of marriage to Theresa Nist…. It’s giving Kim K and Kris Humphries. Our Betch of the Week is NCAA superstar Caitlin Clarke, who’s worth way more than she’s being given. Get your sh*t together WNBA. As for the Caymans? Gerry and Theresa are on their way, they knew this divorce was coming before they even got married…. We’re unable to be duped.
